Here's a set of patches to make the following changes to the cifs
filesystem driver:
(1) Convert cifs to use I/O iterators to pass data/buffers from the the VM
interface layer down to the socket rather than passing page lists
about.
(2) Convert cifs to use netfslib for buffered and direct read operations.
(3) A partial conversion to folios.
This branch is built on top of my netfs-lib branch[1].
The patches can be found here also:
