Subject: [PATCH 00/17] Initial conversion of NFS basic I/O to use folios

From: Trond Myklebust <[email protected]>

This set of patches represents an initial effort to convert the page
cache I/O in the NFS client to use native folio functionality. It should
allow the nfs_page structs and their helpers to carry folios (including
folios of order > 0) and to pass their data contents through to the RPC
layer.
Note that because O_DIRECT uses pages, we still need to support the
traditional page based I/O, and so the new struct nfs_page will carry
both types.
I did not touch the fscache code, but I expect that to be able to
continue to work with order 0 folios.

The plan is to merge this functionality with order 0 folios first, in
order to catch any regressions in existing functionality. Then we can
enable order n > 0 once we're happy about the stability (at least for
the non-fscache case).

At this point, the xfstests are all passing without any regressions on
my setup, so I'm throwing the patches over the fence to allow for wider
testing.
Please make sure, in particular to test pNFS if your server supports it.
I didn't have to make any changes to the pNFS code, and I don't expect
any trouble, but it would be good to have validation of that assumption.

From: Trond Myklebust <[email protected]>

If the same page and data is being used for multiple requests,
then ignore that when the request indicates we're reading from the start
of the page.
