Subject: [PATCH 00/18] orangefs: page cache

The first five patches were sent up two weeks ago.

https://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=151190064825337&w=2

There is a bug in the original "implement vm_ops->fault" which is fixed
here.  When expanding generic_file_readonly_mmap, I neglected to include
the test for VM_SHARED and VM_MAYWRITE.  The test is removed later in
"implement write through the page cache," but if only the first five are
accepted for the next kernel, they should be taken from here.

I sent this up some time ago

I hope the code is faily self-explanatory.  This isn't quite in a fully
finished or tested state, but it's starting to come together.
Unfortunately most of the changes from last time are fixes for subtle
bugs and are rebased in, which makes them hard to see.

This is significantly more stable than it was six months ago, but I'm
still worried about how it will act when run for days, weeks, months at
a time and across multiple machines.  This is the next step in my
testing.

I'd appreciate any reviews, even if just to tell me that I've done
everything completely wrong.
