Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 19/25] netfs: Speed up buffered reading

Okay, let's try something a little more drastic.  See if we can at least get
it booting to the point we can read the tracelog.  If you can apply the
attached patch?  It won't release any folio_queue struct or put the refs on
any pages, so it will quickly run out of memory - but if you have sufficient
menory, it might be enough to boot.
