Hi Linus,
Here's my next batch of netfs changes, if you could pull them? Note that
this has dependencies on ceph changes in Ilya's pull request and there are
some minor conflicts with Willy's folio patches that you've already pulled
for which Stephen Rothwell has posted adjustments for linux-next[9][10].
Having had a go at implementing write helpers and content encryption
support in netfslib, it seems that the netfs_read_{,sub}request structs and
the equivalent write request structs were almost the same and so should be
merged, thereby requiring only one set of alloc/get/put functions and a
common set of tracepoints.
Merging the structs also has the advantage that if a bounce buffer is added
to the request struct, a read operation can be performed to fill the bounce
buffer, the contents of the buffer can be modified and then a write
operation can be performed on it to send the data wherever it needs to go
using the same request structure all the way through. The I/O handlers
would then transparently perform any required crypto. This should make it
easier to perform RMW cycles if needed.
The potentially common functions and structs, however, by their names all
proclaim themselves to be associated with the read side of things. The
bulk of these changes alter this in the following ways:
(1) Rename struct netfs_read_{,sub}request to netfs_io_{,sub}request.
(2) Rename some enums, members and flags to make them more appropriate.
(3) Adjust some comments to match.
(4) Drop "read"/"rreq" from the names of common functions. For instance,
netfs_get_read_request() becomes netfs_get_request().
(5) The ->init_rreq() and ->issue_op() methods become ->init_request() and
->issue_read(). I've kept the latter as a read-specific function and
in another branch added an ->issue_write() method.
The driver source is then reorganised into a number of files:
fs/netfs/buffered_read.c Create read reqs to the pagecache
fs/netfs/io.c Dispatchers for read and write reqs
fs/netfs/main.c Some general miscellaneous bits
fs/netfs/objects.c Alloc, get and put functions
fs/netfs/stats.c Optional procfs statistics.
and future development can be fitted into this scheme, e.g.:
fs/netfs/buffered_write.c Modify the pagecache
fs/netfs/buffered_flush.c Writeback from the pagecache
fs/netfs/direct_read.c DIO read support
fs/netfs/direct_write.c DIO write support
fs/netfs/unbuffered_write.c Write modifications directly back
Beyond the above changes, there are also some changes that affect how
things work:
(1) Make fscache_end_operation() generally available.
(2) In the netfs tracing header, generate enums from the symbol -> string
mapping tables rather than manually coding them.
(3) Add a struct for filesystems that uses netfslib to put into their
inode wrapper structs to hold extra state that netfslib is interested
in, such as the fscache cookie. This allows netfslib functions to be
set in filesystem operation tables and jumped to directly without
having to have a filesystem wrapper.
(4) Add a member to the struct added in (3) to track the remote inode
length as that may differ if local modifications are buffered. We may
need to supply an appropriate EOF pointer when storing data (in AFS
for example).
(5) Pass extra information to netfs_alloc_request() so that the
->init_request() hook can access it and retain information to indicate
the origin of the operation.
(6) Make the ->init_request() hook return an error, thereby allowing a
filesystem that isn't allowed to cache an inode (ceph or cifs, for
example) to skip readahead.
(7) Switch to using refcount_t for subrequests and add tracepoints to log
refcount changes for the request and subrequest structs.
(8) Add a function to consolidate dispatching a read request. Similar
code is used in three places and another couple are likely to be added
in the future.

Changes
===ver #4)
- Move the check for NETFS_READAHEAD up in ceph_init_request()[7].
- Fix netfs_is_cache_enabled() to check cookie->cache_priv to see if a
cache is present[8].
- Fix netfs_skip_folio_read() to zero out all of the page, not just some
of it[8].
ver #3)
- Rebased one patch back on the ceph tree as the top patch got removed[4].
- Split out the bit to move ceph cap-getting on readahead out from the
patch adding an inode context[5].
- Made ceph_init_request() store the caps got in rreq->netfs_priv for
later freeing.
- Comment the need to keep the netfs inode context contiguous with the VFS
inode struct[6].
- Altered the traces to use 'R=' consistently to denote a request debug ID.
ver #2)
- Changed kdoc references to renamed files[1].
- Switched the begin-read-function patch and the prepare-to-split patch as
fewer functions then need unstatic'ing.
- Fixed an uninitialised var in netfs_begin_read()[2][3].
- Fixed a refleak caused by an unremoved line when netfs_begin_read() was
introduced.
- Used "#if IS_ENABLED()" in netfs_i_cookie(), not "#ifdef".
- Implemented missing bit of ceph readahead through netfs_readahead().
- Rearranged the patch order to make the ceph readahead possible.
