The new text-based mount code should just work. There should be no need to also support cachefs via the legacy binary formant. > Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx> > --- > > fs/nfs/Makefile | 1 > fs/nfs/client.c | 5 + > fs/nfs/file.c | 37 ++++ > fs/nfs/fscache-def.c | 289 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > fs/nfs/fscache.c | 391 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > fs/nfs/fscache.h | 148 +++++++++++++++++ > fs/nfs/inode.c | 47 +++++ > fs/nfs/read.c | 28 +++ > fs/nfs/super.c | 3 > fs/nfs/sysctl.c | 1 > include/linux/nfs_fs.h | 9 + > include/linux/nfs_fs_sb.h | 18 ++ > 12 files changed, 968 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) > create mode 100644 fs/nfs/fscache-def.c > create mode 100644 fs/nfs/fscache.c > create mode 100644 fs/nfs/fscache.h > This needs to be split up. Scheduling an fscache write, retrieving pages from fscache, managing fscache cache consistency, adding statistics are all examples of completely separate tasks that should not be bunched together in a single megapatch, particularly not since they touch core NFS code.
