In demand-read case, the input folio of netfs API is may not the page
cache inside the address space of the netfs file. Instead it may be just
a temporary page used to contain the data.

Thus iterate corresponding pages through rreq->folio directly.

"is may not the page"?  I think you're missing a verb (and you have too many
auxiliary verbs;-)

Sorry for my poor English... What I want to express is that

"In demand-read case, the input folio of netfs API may not be the page
cache inside the address space of the netfs file."

By the way, can we change the current address_space based netfs API to
folio-based, which shall be more general? That is, the current
implementation of netfs API uses (address_space, page_offset, len) tuple
to describe the destination where the read data shall be store into.
While in the demand-read case, the input folio may not be the page
cache, and thus there's no address_space attached with it.

Thanks for your hard effort on this!

Just a rough look. Could we use a pseudo inode (actually the current
managed_inode can be used as this) to retain metadata for fscache
scenarios? (since it's better to cache all metadata rather than drop
directly, also the alloc_page() - free_page() cycle takes more time).

Also if my own limited understanding is correct, you could directly
use file inode pages with netfs_readpage_demand() rather than
get_meta_page and then memcpy to the file inode pages.

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
