Sorry about the timing on the original email as I forgot it lined up
with LSF/MM.

FYI, I tested with 6.4-rc1 plus these two patches, then I added the NFS
hunk needed (see below).  All my tests pass now[1], and it makes sense
from all the ftraces I've seen on test runs that fail (cachefiles_prep_read
trace event would show "DOWN no-data" even after data was written
previously).

This small NFS hunk needs added to patch #2 in this series:

diff --git a/fs/nfs/fscache.c b/fs/nfs/fscache.c
index 8c35d88a84b1..d4a20748b14f 100644
