I used your branch netfs-fixes, namely at the following commit:
8e18fe180b0a ("netfs: Abstract out a rolling folio buffer implementation")

System can't boot, so I used the following kernel command line:
... trace_event=:netfs_read,:netfs_sreq,:netfs_rreq,:netfs_failure,:netfs_write,:netfs_write_iter,:netfs_folio,:netfs_folioq,:netfs_progress,:netfs_donate

No warnings like "Failed to enable trace event ...", so I assume it worked
as expected.

A fresh dmesg is here:
https://gist.github.com/eddyz87/e8f4780d833675a7e58854596394a70f

Don't see any tracepoint output there, so something is probably missing.

What's your preferred setup for the repro?
