Subject: [PATCH 00/14] cifs: Iterators, netfslib and folios


Here's a set of patches to make the following changes to the cifs
filesystem driver:

 (1) Convert cifs to use I/O iterators to pass data/buffers from the the VM
     interface layer down to the socket rather than passing page lists
     about.

 (2) Convert cifs to use netfslib for buffered and direct read operations.

 (3) A partial conversion to folios.

This branch is built on top of my netfs-lib branch[1].

The patches can be found here also:
