Commit af8b04c63708 ("zram: simplify bvec iteration in
__zram_make_request") changed the bio iteration in zram to rely on the
implicit capping to page boundaries in bio_for_each_segment.  But it
failed to care for the fact zram not only care about the page alignment
of the bio payload, but also the page alignment into the device.  For
buffered I/O and swap those are the same, but for direct I/O or kernel
internal I/O like XFS log buffer writes they can differ.

Fix this by open coding bio_for_each_segment and limiting the bvec len
so that it never crosses over a page alignment boundary in the device
in addition to the payload boundary already taken care of by
bio_iter_iovec.

Pull mm updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Yosry Ahmed brought back some cgroup v1 stats in OOM logs

   with the ability to query pagecache status - a similar concept to
   mincore() but more powerful and with improved usability

 - Mel Gorman provides more optimizations for compaction, reducing the
   prevalence of page rescanning

 - Lorenzo Stoakes has done some maintanance work on the
   get_user_pages() interface

   rationalization of the kernel's access to pte entries - use the
   provided APIs rather than open-coding accesses

 - Lorenzo Stoakes has some fixes to the interaction between pagecache
   and directio access to file mappings

 - John Hubbard has a series of fixes to the MM selftesting code

 - ZhangPeng continues the folio conversion campaign

   reorganizing the LRU management

Recompression threshold should be below huge-size-class watermark.  Any
object larger than huge-size-class is a "huge object" and occupies a
whole physical page on the zsmalloc side, in other words it's
incompressible, as far as zsmalloc is concerned.

<title>block: replace fmode_t with a block-specific type for block open flags</title>

<content type='text'>
The only overlap between the block open flags mapped into the fmode_t and
other uses of fmode_t are FMODE_READ and FMODE_WRITE.  Define a new
blk_mode_t instead for use in blkdev_get_by_{dev,path}, -&gt;open and
-&gt;ioctl and stop abusing fmode_t.

<title>block: use the holder as indication for exclusive opens</title>

<content type='text'>
The current interface for exclusive opens is rather confusing as it
requires both the FMODE_EXCL flag and a holder.  Remove the need to pass
FMODE_EXCL and just key off the exclusive open off a non-NULL holder.

For blkdev_put this requires adding the holder argument, which provides
better debug checking that only the holder actually releases the hold,
but at the same time allows removing the now superfluous mode argument.

-&gt;open is only called on the whole device.  Make that explicit by
passing a gendisk instead of the block_device.

Add a new blk_holder_ops structure, which is passed to blkdev_get_by_* and
installed in the block_device for exclusive claims.  It will be used to
allow the block layer to call back into the user of the block device for
thing like notification of a removed device or a device resize.

<title>zram: use __bio_add_page for adding single page to bio</title>

<content type='text'>
The zram writeback code uses bio_add_page() to add a page to a newly
created bio. bio_add_page() can fail, but the return value is never
checked.

Use __bio_add_page() as adding a single page to a newly created bio is
guaranteed to succeed.

This brings us a step closer to marking bio_add_page() as __must_check.
