Merge tag 'folio-5.16b' of git://git.infradead.org/users/willy/pagecache

Pull folio fixes from Matthew Wilcox:
 "In the course of preparing the folio changes for iomap for next merge
  window, we discovered some problems that would be nice to address now:

   - Renaming multi-page folios to large folios.

     mapping_multi_page_folio_support() is just a little too long, so we
     settled on mapping_large_folio_support(). That meant renaming, eg
     folio_test_multi() to folio_test_large().

     Rename AS_THP_SUPPORT to match

   - I hadn't included folio wrappers for zero_user_segments(), etc.
     Also, multi-page^W^W large folio support is now independent of
     CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, so machines with HIGHMEM always need
     to fall back to the out-of-line zero_user_segments().

     Remove FS_THP_SUPPORT to match

   - The build bots finally got round to telling me that I missed a
     couple of architectures when adding flush_dcache_folio(). Christoph
     suggested that we just add linux/cacheflush.h and not rely on
     asm-generic/cacheflush.h"

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
