Subject[PATCH 65/71] binfmt: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros
Date
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago
with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with
bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_*
or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the
border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

- page_cache_get() -> get_page();

- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
