Hi Jeff, Steve,

I have been working on my netfslib helpers to the point that I can run
xfstests on AFS to completion (both with write-back buffering and, with a
small patch, write-through buffering in the pagecache).  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.

Holy magic numbers, batman! I think this deserves a comment that
explains how you came up with these values.

Also, do 9p and cifs not need this for some reason?

It's nice to see this go into common code, but why not go ahead and
convert ceph (and possibly NFS) to use this? Is there any reason not to?

I'm converting ceph on a follow-on branch and for ceph this will be dealt with
there.

I could do NFS round about here, I suppose.

Actually, that should be set to something like the object size for ceph.

At this point, cifs doesn't use netfslib, so that's implemented in a later
patch in this series.

9p does need setting, but I haven't tested that yet.  It probably needs
setting to 1MiB as I think that's the maximum the 9p transport can handle.

But in the case of cifs, this is actually dynamic, depending on how many
credits we can obtain.  The same may be true of ceph, though I'm not entirely
clear on that as yet.

For afs, the maximum [rw]size the protocol supports is actually something like
281350422593565 (ie. (65535-28) * (2^32-1)) minus a few bytes, but that's
probably not a good idea.  I might be best setting it at something like 256KiB
as that's what OpenAFS uses.
