Merge patch series "fs: refactor write_begin/write_end and add ext4 IOCB_DONTCACHE support"

陈涛涛 Taotao Chen <[email protected]> says:

This patch series refactors the address_space_operations write_begin()
and write_end() callbacks to take const struct kiocb * as their first
argument, allowing IOCB flags such as IOCB_DONTCACHE to propagate to the
filesystem's buffered I/O path.

Ext4 is updated to implement handling of the IOCB_DONTCACHE flag and
advertises support via the FOP_DONTCACHE file operation flag.

Additionally, the i915 driver's shmem write paths are updated to bypass
the legacy write_begin/write_end interface in favor of directly
calling write_iter() with a constructed synchronous kiocb. Another i915
change replaces a manual write loop with kernel_write() during GEM shmem
object creation.

Tested with ext4 and i915 GEM workloads.
