[PATCH 03/15] mm: Add file_offset_of_ helpers

From: Matthew Wilcox
Date: Tue Sep 24 2019 - 20:52:42 EST


From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The page_offset function is badly named for people reading the functions
which call it. The natural meaning of a function with this name would
be 'offset within a page', not 'page offset in bytes within a file'.
Dave Chinner suggests file_offset_of_page() as a replacement function
name and I'm also adding file_offset_of_next_page() as a helper for the
large page work. Also add kernel-doc for these functions so they show
up in the kernel API book.

page_offset() is retained as a compatibility define for now.
