Use buffer_migrate_folio to handle folio migration instead of writing out dirty pages and reading them back in again. Use writepages to write out folios more efficiently. We now only do that wait_on_write_block check once per call to writepages instead of once per page. It would be possible to do one transaction per writeback run, but that's a bit of a big change to do to this old filesystem, so leave it as one transaction per folio (and leave reiserfs supporting only one page per folio).

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 reStructuredText 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.
