For filesystems using Linux's pagecache, the ``->readpage()`` and

insufficient, since ``->read_iter()`` is not used for memory maps.
verification. Finally, pages where no decryption or verity error
occurred are marked Uptodate, and the pages are unlocked.

+Files on ext4 and f2fs may contain holes. Normally, ``->readahead()``
simply zeroes holes and sets the corresponding pages Uptodate; no bios
are issued. To prevent this case from bypassing fs-verity, these
filesystems use fsverity_verify_page() to verify hole pages.
- To prevent bypassing verification, pages must not be marked
Uptodate until they've been verified. Currently, each
filesystem is responsible for marking pages Uptodate via
- ``->readpages()``. Therefore, currently it's not possible for
+ ``->readahead()``. Therefore, currently it's not possible for
the VFS to do the verification on its own. Changing this would
require significant changes to the VFS and all filesystems.

-->readpages() populates the pagecache with the passed pages and starts
-I/O against them. They come unlocked upon I/O completion.

->writepage() is used for two purposes: for "memory cleansing" and for
"sync". These are quite different operations and the behaviour may differ
depending upon the mode.

ignored; simply unlock the page if an I/O error occurs.
-``readpages``
- called by the VM to read pages associated with the address_space
- object. This is essentially just a vector version of readpage.
- Instead of just one page, several pages are requested.
- readpages is only used for read-ahead, so read errors are
- ignored. If anything goes wrong, feel free to give up.
- This interface is deprecated and will be removed by the end of
- 2020; implement readahead instead.
-
``write_begin``
Called by the generic buffered write code to ask the filesystem
to prepare to write len bytes at the given offset in the file.
