Note that I've removed the knowledge of the pagecache from 9p, afs and cifs to
netfslib and intend to do the same to ceph.  The client filesystems just
provide read and write ops to netfslib and netfslib uses those to do ordinary
buffered I/O, unbuffered I/O (selectable by mount option on some filesystems)
and DIO.

That said, I'm not sure that I haven't made some PAGE_SIZE assumptions.  I
don't *think* I have since netfslib is fully multipage folio capable, but I
can't guarantee it.

Mostly this was just a note to you that there might be an issue with your code
- but I haven't investigated it yet and it could well be in my code.

Apparently, I also need to update xfstests, so it could be that too.

Sadly not, but if you turn on some tracepoints, you can see netfslib operating
under the bonnet.

Just failing.

Thanks,
