It's be nice to have a bit of an explanation for the whole series here,
but I think the two patches work standalone.

If you'd like to extend this work, you could convert the callers of
block_commit_write() to use a folio instead of a page and then unify
block_commit_write() and __block_commit_write() as you did in the earlier
version of your patchset.  It shouldn't be too hard, both callers in
ext4 and the caller in iomap are already done.  That just leaves the
three callers in ocfs2 and the one caller in udf.
