This v10 patchset addresses at least some of Trond's latest concerns. Some of the feedback like the unlock_page() wrapper function in nfs_read_completion() I don't know how to address without an ifdef. Other feedback I'm not quite sure about splitting out netfs bits or what you would like to see. Trond I do not want to in any way ignore or miss any of your feedback so please elaborate as needed. This patchset converts NFS with fscache non-direct READ IO paths to 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 address Trond's concerns about modifying the IO path [1] as well as only enabling netfs when fscache is configured and enabled [2]. I have not attempted performance comparisions to address Chuck Lever's concern [3] because we are not converting the non-fscache enabled NFS IO paths to netfs. The patchset is based on 6.1-rc3 and has been pushed to github at: https://github.com/DaveWysochanskiRH/kernel/commits/nfs-fscache-netfs https://github.com/DaveWysochanskiRH/kernel/commit/bff09aa979010f38a11a6f92451e85d04d850715 Changes since v9 [7] ==================== PATCH1: Rename nfs_pageio_add_page to nfs_read_add_page (Trond) PATCH3: Remove a few #ifdef's and replace with wrappers (Trond) [8] PATCH6: RFC patch to reduce increase in nfs_inode memory footprint when netfs is configured but not enabled (Trond) [9] Testing ======= I did not do much testing on this as the changes to patches 1 and 3 are cosmetic. Patch #6 is RFC patch and may change, so if that is added it may need more testing. Known issues ============ 1. Unit test setting rsize < readahead does not properly read from fscache but re-reads data from the NFS server * This will be fixed with another linux-cachefs [4] patch to resolve "Stop read optimisation when folio removed from pagecache" * Daire Byrne also verified the patch fixes his issue as well 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 [5] that is in progress 3. Daire Byrne reported a NULL pointer oops at cachefiles_prepare_write+0x28/0x90 * harder to reproduce/debug but under investigation [6] * only reproduced on RHEL7.9 based NFS re-export server using fscache with upstream kernel plus the previous patches * Debug in progress, first pass at where the problem is indicates a race between fscache cookie LRU and use_cookie; looking at cookie state machine [10] [58710.346376] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008 [58710.371212] CPU: 12 PID: 9134 Comm: kworker/u129:0 Tainted: G E 6.0.0-2.dneg.x86_64 #1 ...
