Subject: [GIT PULL] vfs netfs updates
Hey Linus,
Based on the discussions at Maintainer's Summit I've encouraged relevant
people to provide pulls if they feel comfortable doing so. So same as
vfs-6.8.rw this contains pulls.
I've intentionally delayed sending this until the second week to be able
to include a round of fixes merged beginning of January.
/* Summary */
This extends the netfs helper library that network filesystems can use
to replace their own implementations. Both afs and 9p are ported. cifs
is ready as well but the patches are way bigger and will be routed
separately once this is merged. That will remove lots of code as well.
The overal goal is to get high-level I/O and knowledge of the page cache
and ouf of the filesystem drivers. This includes knowledge about the
existence of pages and folios
The pull request converts afs and 9p. This removes about 800 lines of
code from afs and 300 from 9p. For 9p it is now possible to do writes in
larger than a page chunks. Additionally, multipage folio support can be
turned on for 9p. Separate patches exist for cifs removing another 2000+
lines. I've included detailed information in the individual pulls I
took. Here is an overview:
* Add NFS-style (and Ceph-style) locking around DIO vs buffered I/O
calls to prevent these from happening at the same time.
* Support for direct and unbuffered I/O.
* Support for write-through caching in the page cache.
* O_*SYNC and RWF_*SYNC writes use write-through rather than writing to
the page cache and then flushing afterwards.
* Support for write-streaming.
* Support for write grouping.
* Skip reads for which the server could only return zeros or EOF.
* The fscache module is now part of the netfs library and the
corresponding maintainer entry is updated.
* Some helpers from the fscache subsystem are renamed to mark them as
belonging to the netfs library.
* Follow-up fixes for the netfs library.
* Follow-up fixes for the 9p conversion.
/* Testing */
clang: Debian clang version 16.0.6 (19)
gcc: (Debian 13.2.0-7) 13.2.0
All patches are based on v6.7-rc4 and have been sitting in linux-next.
/* Conflicts */
This has two merge conflicts with mainline:
[1] In the MAINTAINERS file as both the vfs-6.8.rw tag and the
vfs-6.8.netfs tag add new entries. The resolution is just additive.
IOW, vfs-6.8.rw added an entry and vfs-6.8.netfs does as well.
[2] Mainline has the generic_error_remove_page() helper removed. This
helper was used in netfs_kill_pages() in fs/netfs/buffered_write.c.
It simply needs to be replaced with generic_error_remove_folio().
[3] This is a minor merge conflict in fs/afs/write.c. The file as it is in
vfs-6.8.netfs is correct.
Since mainline doesn't contain the fs/netfs/buffered_write.c where the
helper mentioned in [2] needs to be replaced the resolution is
ridiculously large so I've added the merge resolution for [1] to [3]
