Linux kernel source tree
185f0c7073
The afs filesystem uses page->private to store the dirty range within a
page such that in the event of a conflicting 3rd-party write to the server,
we write back just the bits that got changed locally.
However, there are a couple of problems with this:
(1) I need a bit to note if the page might be mapped so that partial
invalidation doesn't shrink the range.
(2) There aren't necessarily sufficient bits to store the entire range of
data altered (say it's a 32-bit system with 64KiB pages or transparent
huge pages are in use).
So wrap the accesses in inline functions so that future commits can change
how this works.
Also move them out of the tracing header into the in-directory header.
There's not really any need for them to be in the tracing header.

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.
