I think the best way is to mimic what the block layer does as closely as possible. Unless we can pull it out of the block layer & all filesystems and put it in the VFS (which we can't; the VFS doesn't know which blocks are recorded by the filesystem as holes and will not result in I/O). The block layer does it as part of the BIO submission path (and also counts PGPGIN and PGPGOUT, which no network filesystems seem to do?) You're more familiar with the NFS code than I am, so you probably have a better idea than __nfs_pageio_add_request().
