[PATCH 6.6] gfs2: replace sd_aspace with sd_inode

[PATCH 6.6] gfs2: replace sd_aspace with sd_inode

[Sumanth Gavini]

commit ae9f3bd8259a0a8f67be2420e66bb05fbb95af48 upstream.

Currently, sdp->sd_aspace and the per-inode metadata address spaces use
sb->s_bdev->bd_mapping->host as their ->host; folios in those address
spaces will thus appear to be on bdev rather than on gfs2 filesystems.
This is a problem because gfs2 doesn't support cgroup writeback
(SB_I_CGROUPWB), but bdev does.

Fix that by using a "dummy" gfs2 inode as ->host in those address
spaces.  When coming from a folio, folio->mapping->host->i_sb will then
be a gfs2 super block and the SB_I_CGROUPWB flag will not be set in
sb->s_iflags.

Based on a previous version from Bob Peterson from several years ago.
Thanks to Tetsuo Handa, Jan Kara, and Rafael Aquini for helping figure
this out.

This is very different from the original commit and you did not document
that :(

Please fix up and resend.

thanks,
