Merge tag 'vfs-6.19-rc1.folio' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull folio updates from Christian Brauner: "Add a new folio_next_pos() helper function that returns the file position of the first byte after the current folio. This is a common operation in filesystems when needing to know the end of the current folio. The helper is lifted from btrfs which already had its own version, and is now used across multiple filesystems and subsystems: - btrfs - buffer - ext4 - f2fs - gfs2 - iomap - netfs - xfs - mm This fixes a long-standing bug in ocfs2 on 32-bit systems with files larger than 2GiB. Presumably this is not a common configuration, but the fix is backported anyway. The other filesystems did not have bugs, they were just mildly inefficient. This also introduce uoff_t as the unsigned version of loff_t. A recent commit inadvertently changed a comparison from being unsigned (on 64-bit systems) to being signed (which it had always been on 32-bit systems), leading to sporadic fstests failures. Generally file sizes are restricted to being a signed integer, but in places where -1 is passed to indicate "up to the end of the file", it is convenient to have an unsigned type to ensure comparisons are always unsigned regardless of architecture" * tag 'vfs-6.19-rc1.folio' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: fs: Add uoff_t mm: Use folio_next_pos() xfs: Use folio_next_pos() netfs: Use folio_next_pos() iomap: Use folio_next_pos() gfs2: Use folio_next_pos() f2fs: Use folio_next_pos() ext4: Use folio_next_pos() buffer: Use folio_next_pos() btrfs: Use folio_next_pos() filemap: Add folio_next_pos()
