Thank you!
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] here: https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/3640251 The following changes since commit 861deac3b092f37b2c5e6871732f3e11486f7082: Linux 6.7-rc7 (2023-12-23 16:25:56 -0800) are available in the Git repository at: git@gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs tags/vfs-6.8.netfs for you to fetch changes up to 1d5911d43cab5fb99229b02bce173b0c6d9da7d2: Merge tag 'netfs-lib-20240109' of ssh://gitolite.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs into vfs.netfs (2024-01-11 12:22:33 +0100) Please consider pulling these changes from the signed vfs-6.8.netfs tag.
