Pull vfs blocksize updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the vfs infrastructure as well as the xfs bits to enable
  support for block sizes (bs) larger than page sizes (ps) plus a few
  fixes to related infrastructure.

  There has been efforts over the last 16 years to enable enable Large
  Block Sizes (LBS), that is block sizes in filesystems where bs > page
  size. Through these efforts we have learned that one of the main
  blockers to supporting bs > ps in filesystems has been a way to
  allocate pages that are at least the filesystem block size on the page
  cache where bs > ps.

  Thanks to various previous efforts it is possible to support bs > ps
  in XFS with only a few changes in XFS itself. Most changes are to the
  page cache to support minimum order folio support for the target block
  size on the filesystem.

  A motivation for Large Block Sizes today is to support high-capacity
  (large amount of Terabytes) QLC SSDs where the internal Indirection
  Unit (IU) are typically greater than 4k to help reduce DRAM and so in
  turn cost and space. In practice this then allows different
  architectures to use a base page size of 4k while still enabling
  support for block sizes aligned to the larger IUs by relying on high
  order folios on the page cache when needed.

  It also allows to take advantage of the drive's support for atomics
  larger than 4k with buffered IO support in Linux. As described this
  year at LSFMM, supporting large atomics greater than 4k enables
  databases to remove the need to rely on their own journaling, so they
  can disable double buffered writes, which is a feature different cloud
  providers are already enabling through custom storage solutions"
