This patchset converts NFS non-direct READ IO paths to unconditionally use the netfs API with a non-invasive approach. The existing NFS pgio layer does not need extensive changes, and is the best way so far I've found to avoid Trond's earlier objection [1]. I have not yet attempted performance comparisions to address Chuck Lever's concern [2]. The main patch to be reviewed is patch #3 which converts nfs_read_folio and nfs_readahead. I do not really like this patchset but so far this is what I was able to come up with the move things forward. I think it is awkward and still needs work, has some issues (below) though it is fairly stable by running xfstests generic with various servers. The known issues are as follows: 1. Unit test setting rsize < readahead does not properly read from fscache but re-reads data from the NFS server * This will be fixed once another linux-cachefs [3] patch to resolve "Stop read optimisation when folio removed from pagecache" 2. "Cache volume key already in use" after xfstest runs * xfstests (hammerspace with vers=4.2,fsc) shows the following on the console after some tests: "NFS: Cache volume key already in use (nfs,4.1,2,c50,cfe0100a,3,,,8000,100000,100000,bb8,ea60,7530,ea60,1)" * This may be fixed with another patch [4] that is in progress 3. Occasional process IO hangs in read paths * May be due to out-of-order RPC replies or something unique to NetApp triggering a bug in the conversion patch * xfstests (Example: generic/075 with netapp ontap9 vers=4.1) * Sample backtrace #2 [ffff888104967990] io_schedule at ffffffffbc46969d #3 [ffff8881049679b0] folio_wait_bit_common at ffffffffbb40214b #4 [ffff888104967ad0] filemap_get_pages at ffffffffbb40688c #5 [ffff888104967c00] filemap_read at ffffffffbb406a61 #6 [ffff888104967d80] nfs_file_read at ffffffffc0e0f415 [nfs] #7 [ffff888104967db0] vfs_read at ffffffffbb5681a5 4.
