Merge tag 'vfs-6.10.netfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull netfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This reworks the netfslib writeback implementation so that pages read
from the cache are written to the cache through ->writepages(),
thereby allowing the fscache page flag to be retired.
The reworking also:
- builds on top of the new writeback_iter() infrastructure
- makes it possible to use vectored write RPCs as discontiguous
streams of pages can be accommodated
- makes it easier to do simultaneous content crypto and stream
division
- provides support for retrying writes and re-dividing a stream
- replaces the ->launder_folio() op, so that ->writepages() is used
instead
- uses mempools to allocate the netfs_io_request and
netfs_io_subrequest structs to avoid allocation failure in the
writeback path
Some code that uses the fscache page flag is retained for
compatibility purposes with nfs and ceph. The code is switched to
using the synonymous private_2 label instead and marked with
deprecation comments.
The merge commit contains additional details on the new algorithm that
I've left out of here as it would probably be excessively detailed.
On top of the netfslib infrastructure this contains the work to
convert cifs over to netfslib"
