[4/8] 9p: (untested) Convert to using the netfs helper lib to do reads and caching

Series fscache: Replace and remove old I/O API | expand

Commit Message

David Howells Sept. 14, 2021, 1:55 p.m. UTC
Convert the 9p filesystem to use the netfs helper lib to handle readpage,
readahead and write_begin, converting those into a common issue_op for the
filesystem itself to handle.  The netfs helper lib also handles reading
from fscache if a cache is available, and interleaving reads from both
sources.

This change also switches from the old fscache I/O API to the new one,
meaning that fscache no longer keeps track of netfs pages and instead does
async DIO between the backing files and the 9p file pagecache.  As a part
of this change, the handling of PG_fscache changes.  It now just means that
the cache has a write I/O operation in progress on a page (PG_locked
is used for a read I/O op).

Note that this is a cut-down version of the fscache rewrite and does not
change any of the cookie and cache coherency handling.

There's a conflict with patch 1 - you can see the same changes made to afs and
ceph there, but apart from that, no.  However, I can't do patch 6 without it
being applied first.  If Dominique or one of the other 9p people can get Linus
to apply it now, that would be great, but I think that unlikely since the
merge window has passed.

Agreed with the merge window passed it'll be for next one -- but I'd
like this to sit in -next for as long as possible, so I'd appreciate
either being able to carry the patch in my tree (difficult as then
you'll need to base yourself on mine) or you putting it in there somehow
after I've got the most basic tests verified again (do you have a branch
pulled for linux-next?)

I'll try to get tests done in the next few days and check my notes for
things that were missing in the earlier version you gave me in the
past.. Sorry for not doing it myself, you're of great help.

Finally tested to some extent: let's remove that (untested) tag.

can add either my sob or a reviewed-by tag from me instead.
I'm honestly not familiar enough with some of the changes (parts
checking PAGE_SIZE or similar) but I didn't spot any obvious error
except the few ifdefs I commented on below, and will keep running a few
more tests until next merge window.
