I can also run a certain amount of xfstests on CIFS, though that requires some more debugging. However, this seems like a good time to post a preview of the patches. The patches remove a little over 800 lines from AFS and over 2000 from CIFS, albeit with around 3000 lines added to netfs. Hopefully, I will be able to remove a bunch of lines from 9P and Ceph too. The main aims of these patches are to get high-level I/O and knowledge of the pagecache out of the filesystem drivers as much as possible and to get rid, as much of possible, of the knowledge that pages/folios exist. Further, I would like to see ->write_begin, ->write_end and ->launder_folio go away. Features that are added by these patches to that which is already there in netfslib: (1) NFS-style (and Ceph-style) locking around DIO vs buffered I/O calls to prevent these from happening at the same time. mmap'd I/O can, of necessity, happen at any time ignoring these locks. (2) Support for unbuffered I/O. The data is kept in the bounce buffer and the pagecache is not used. This can be turned on with an inode flag. (3) Support for direct I/O. This is basically unbuffered I/O with some extra restrictions and no RMW. (4) Support for using a bounce buffer in an operation. The bounce buffer may be bigger than the target data/buffer, allowing for crypto rounding. (5) Support for content encryption. This isn't supported yet by AFS/CIFS but is aimed initially at Ceph. (6) ->write_begin() and ->write_end() are ignored in favour of merging all of that into one function, netfs_perform_write(), thereby avoiding the function pointer traversals. (7) Support for write-through caching in the pagecache. netfs_perform_write() adds the pages is modifies to an I/O operation as it goes and directly marks them writeback rather than dirty. When writing back from write-through, it limits the range written back. This should allow CIFS to deal with byte-range mandatory locks correctly. (8) O_*SYNC and RWF_*SYNC writes use write-through rather than writing to the pagecache and then flushing afterwards. An AIO O_*SYNC write will notify of completion when the sub-writes all complete. (9) Support for write-streaming where modifed data is held in !uptodate folios, with a private struct attached indicating the range that is valid. (10) Support for write grouping, multiplexing a pointer to a group in the folio private data with the write-streaming data. The writepages algorithm only writes stuff back that's in the nominated group. This is intended for use by Ceph to write is snaps in order. (11) Skipping reads for which we know the server could only supply zeros or EOF (for instance if we've done a local write that leaves a hole in the file and extends the local inode size). General notes: (1) netfslib now makes use of folio->private, which means the filesystem can't use it. (2) Use of fscache is not yet tested. I'm not sure whether to allow a cache to be used with a write-through write. (3) The filesystem provides wrappers to call the write helpers, allowing it to do pre-validation, oplock/capability fetching and the passing in of write group info. (4) I want to try flushing the data when tearing down an inode before invalidating it to try and render launder_folio unnecessary. (5) Write-through caching will generate and dispatch write subrequests as it gathers enough data to hit wsize and has whole pages that at least span that size. This needs to be a bit more flexible, allowing for a filesystem such as CIFS to have a variable wsize. (6) The filesystem driver is just given read and write calls with an iov_iter describing the data/buffer to use. Ideally, they don't see pages or folios at all. A function, extract_iter_to_sg(), is already available to decant part of an iterator into a scatterlist for crypto purposes. CIFS notes: (1) CIFS is made to use unbuffered I/O for unbuffered caching modes and write-through caching for cache=strict. (2) cifs_init_request() occasionally throws an error that it can't get a writable file when trying to do writeback. (3) Apparent file corruption frequently appears in the target file when cifs_copy_file_range(), even though it doesn't use any netfslib helpers and even if it doesn't overlap with any pages in the pagecache. (4) I should be able to turn multipage folio support on in CIFS now. (5) The then-unused CIFS code is removed in three patches, not one, to avoid the git patch generator from producing confusing patches in which it thinks code is being moved around rather than just being removed.
