We're trying to get rid of the ->writepage() hook[1]. Stop afs from using it by unlocking the page and calling afs_writepages_region() rather than folio_write_one(). A flag is passed to afs_writepages_region() to indicate that it should only write a single region so that we don't flush the entire file in ->write_begin(), but do add other dirty data to the region being written to try and reduce the number of RPC ops. This requires ->migrate_folio() to be implemented, so point that at filemap_migrate_folio() for files and also for symlinks and directories. This can be tested by turning on the afs_folio_dirty tracepoint and then doing something like: xfs_io -c "w 2223 7000" -c "w 15000 22222" -c "w 23 7" /afs/my/test/foo and then looking in the trace to see if the write at position 15000 gets stored before page 0 gets dirtied for the write at position 23.

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.
