Hi David, What would you think about this cleanup? We need this in prep for the following fscache-based on-demand reading feature. It would be great if it could be cherry picked in advance. I also simplify the commit message as suggested by Gao Xiang. I could resend a v2 patch with the updated commit message if you'd like. netfs: add inode parameter to netfs_alloc_read_request() Make the @file parameter optional, and derive inode from the @folio parameter instead. @file parameter can't be removed completely, since it also works as the private data of ops->init_rreq().
