    afs: Don't use folio->private to record partial modification · a34847d4
    David Howells authored
    AFS currently uses folio->private to store the range of bytes within a
    folio that have been modified - the idea being that if we have, say, a 2MiB
    folio and someone writes a single byte, we only have to write back that
    single page and not the whole 2MiB folio - thereby saving on network
    bandwidth.
    
    Remove this, at least for now, and accept the extra network load (which
    doesn't matter in the common case of writing a whole file at a time from
    beginning to end).
    
    This makes folio->private available for netfslib to use.
