Pull netfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the netfs and cachefiles changes for this cycle from
  David.

  Cachefiles learns to cache the most common class of files properly,
  files that are created or truncated, written once sequentially and
  closed. So far it relied on the backing filesystem's idea of what is
  stored and asked with SEEK_DATA and SEEK_HOLE before every read it
  prepared, two seeks per read, and the backing filesystem is free to
  insert or remove runs of zeros which produces false positives and
  false negatives. The object type in the state xattr is now actually
  set to CACHEFILES_CONTENT_{SINGLE,ALL,BACKFS_MAP} instead of zero. For
  files written contiguously the type is ALL, the backing file's i_size
  tracks how much is cached and the object size lives in the xattr, and
  reads skip the seeks entirely. Netfslib queries the cache occupancy
  through a new ->query_occupancy() method that returns up to two
  extents at once, ->prepare_read() only limits the size of a cache read
  anymore and a new ->collect_write() lets the cache update its metadata
  once a contiguous run of writes completes. The state xattr is preset
  when the tmpfile is created so ENOSPC from setxattr can't scrap a
  fully written cache file. Two fixes for this followed, one for resize
  handling where the cache's idea of the size can be stale and one for
  an unset error that hung a request on a failed cache write.

  Preparatory work converts file positions that can't be negative to
  uoff_t, removes the writethrough code whose locking looked like it
  could deadlock with ceph snapshots, makes the deprecated PG_private_2
  support opt-in so mm can get its page bit back, adds helpers for the
  NETFS_RREQ_ALL_QUEUED barriers and adds the cache object id to the
  read and write tracepoints. Plus an unused header removal and two
  documentation fixes"
