That doesn't seem to be how it is implemented, though.  Looking at the
writeback code, the ordered list of snaps to be written back *is* the
ceph_cap_snap list.  The writeback code goes through the list in order,
writing out the data associated with the snapc that is the ->context for each
capsnap.  When a new snapshot occurs, the snap notification service code
allocates and queues a new capsnap on each inode.  Is there any reason that
cannot be done lazily?

Also, it appears there may be an additional bug here: If memory allocation
fails when allocating a new capsnap in queue_realm_cap_snaps(), it abandons
the process (not unreasonably), but leaves a bunch of inodes with their old
capsnaps.  If you can do this lazily, this can be better handled in the write
routines where user interaction can be bounced.

Until the page has been cleaned, I presume.

The netfs_group pointer passed into netfs_write_group() is stored in the
netfs_io_request struct and is thus accessible by the filesystem.  I've
attached the three functions involved below.  Note that this is a work in
progress and will most certainly require further changes.  It's also untested
as I haven't got it to a stage that I can test this part of the code yet.

Point folio->private at it and take a ref on it, much as it is currently doing
for snapc.  The capsnap->context points to snapc and currently folio->private
points to the snapc and then in writeback, and currently we take the context
snapc from the capsnap and iterate over all the folios on that inode looking
for any with a private pointer that matches the snapc.  We could store the
capsnap pointer there instead and iterate looking for that.

I've pushed my patches out to:

	https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/log/?h=ceph-iter

if you want a look.  Note that the top 7 patches are the ones in flux at the
moment while I try and write the netfs helpers for the ceph filesystem.  Don't
expect any of those to compile.

Actually, I'd appreciate it if you could have a look at the patches up to
"rbd: Use ceph_databuf_enc_start/stop()".  Those are almost completely done,
though with one exception.  There's one bit in RBD that still needs dealing
with (marked with a #warn and an "[INCOMPLETE]" marked in the patch subject) -
but RBD does otherwise work.

The aim is to remove all the different data types, except for two: one where
an iov_iter is provided (such as an ITER_XARRAY referring directly to the
pagecache) and one where we have a "ceph_databuf" with a bvec[].  Ideally,
there would only be one, but I'll see if I can manage that.
