Subject: [PATCH v3 59/59] netfs: Eliminate PG_fscache by setting folio->private and marking dirty
Date:   Thu,  7 Dec 2023 21:22:06 +0000
Message-ID: <20231207212206.1379128-60-dhowells@redhat.com>
In-Reply-To: <20231207212206.1379128-1-dhowells@redhat.com>
References: <20231207212206.1379128-1-dhowells@redhat.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Precedence: bulk

When dirty data is being written to the cache, setting/waiting on/clearing
the fscache flag is always done in tandem with setting/waiting on/clearing
the writeback flag.  The netfslib buffered write routines wait on and set
both flags and the write request cleanup clears both flags, so the fscache
flag is almost superfluous.

The reason it isn't superfluous is because the fscache flag is also used to
indicate that data just read from the server is being written to the cache.
The flag is used to prevent a race involving overlapping direct-I/O writes
to the cache.

Change this to indicate that a page is in need of being copied to the cache
by placing a magic value in folio->private and marking the folios dirty.
Then when the writeback code sees a folio marked in this way, it only
writes it to the cache and not to the server.

If a page is altered that has this magic value set, the value is just
replaced and the page will then be uplodaded too.

With this, PG_fscache is no longer required.
