[PATCH 09/12] writeback: Factor writeback_iter_next() out of write_cache_pages()

From: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)
Date: Mon Jun 26 2023 - 13:36:31 EST


Pull the post-processing of the writepage_t callback into a
separate function. That means changing writeback_finish() to
return NULL, and writeback_get_next() to call writeback_finish()
when we naturally run out of folios.
