Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/3] 9p: Further netfslib-related changes
Hi Eric, Dominique,
Here are some netfslib-related changes we might want to consider applying
to 9p:
(1) Enable large folio support for 9p. This is handled entirely by
netfslib and is already supported in afs. I wonder if we should limit
the maximum folio size to 1MiB to match the maximum I/O size in the 9p
protocol.
(2) Make better use of netfslib's writethrough caching support by not
disabling caching for O_DSYNC. netfs_perform_write() will set up
and dispatch write requests as it copies data into the pagecache.
(3) Always update netfs_inode::remote_size to reflect what we think the
server's idea of the file size is. This is separate from
inode::i_size which is our idea of what it should be if all of our
outstanding dirty data is committed.
The patches can also be found here:

Thanks,
David
