(that's appparently no longer true and might need updating)

At quite high level, I've played with this a bit and see no obvious
regression with the extra patch
I've also manually confirmed one of the big improvements I'd been asking
for (that writes in cached modes, which used to be chunked to 4k, and
are now properly aggregated, so e.g 'dd bs=1M count=1' will properly
issue a minimal number of TWRITE calls capped by msize) -- this is
great!
I've noticed we don't cache xattrs are all, so with the default mount
options on a kernel built with 9P_FS_SECURITY we'll get a gazillion
lookups for security.capabilities... But that's another problem, and
this is still an improvement so no reason to hold back.
I've got a couple of questions below, but:
Tested-by: Dominique Martinet <asmadeus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Acked-by: Dominique Martinet <asmadeus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
(I'd still be extremly thanksful if Christian and/or Eric would have
time to check as well, but I won't push back to merging it this merge
window next week if they don't have time... I'll also keep trying to run
some more tests as time allows)

Any reason to have this variable assignment at all?
(I assume it'll get optimized away, but it looks like that's not a maybe
here so was a bit surprised -- I guess it's just been copy-pasted from
the old code getting the fscache cookie?)

p9_client_write return value should always be subreq->len, but I believe
we should use it unless err is set.
(It's also possible for partial writes to happen, e.g. p9_client_write
looped a few times and then failed, at which point the size returned
would be the amount that actually got through -- we probably should do
something with that?)

Just to clarify: subreq->io_iter didn't exist (or some conditions to use
it weren't cleared) before?

This probably should be WARN + return EINVAL like find by inode?
It's certainly a huge problem, but we should avoid BUG if possible...

nit: not sure what's cleaner?
Since there's a message that makes for a bit awkward if...
if (WARN_ONCE(!fid, "folio expected an open fid inode->i_private=%p\n",
rreq->inode->i_private))
return -EINVAL;
(as a side note, I'm not sure what to make of this i_private pointer
here, but if that'll help you figure something out sure..)

This is as follow on your netfs-lib branch:
- WARN_ON(rreq->origin == NETFS_READ_FOR_WRITE &&
- !(fid->mode & P9_ORDWR));
-
- p9_fid_get(fid);
+ WARN_ON(rreq->origin == NETFS_READ_FOR_WRITE && !(fid->mode & P9_ORDWR));
So the WARN_ON has been reverted back with only indentation changed;
I guess there were patterns that were writing despite the fid not having
been open as RDWR?
Do you still have details about these?
If a file has been open without the write bit it might not go through,
and it's incredibly difficult to get such users back to userspace in
async cases (e.g. mmap flushes), so would like to understand that.

(Not a new problem so no need to address here, but having just
"(cached)" on a split line is a bit weird.. We first compute cached or
not as a bool and make it %s + cached ? " (cached)" : "" or
something... I'll send a patch after this gets in to avoid conflicts)
