Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] Convert NFS with fscache to the netfs API

This patchset converts NFS with fscache non-direct READ IO paths to
use the netfs API with a non-invasive approach.  The existing NFS pgio
layer does not need extensive changes, and is the best way so far I've
found to address Trond's concerns about modifying the IO path [1] as
well as only enabling netfs when fscache is configured and enabled [2].
I have not yet attempted performance comparisions to address Chuck
Lever's concern [3], though this is probably less of a concern now,
since netfs is not used unless fscache is configured and enabled.

The main patch to be reviewed is patch #3 which converts nfs_read_folio
and nfs_readahead.

Changes since v2 (all PATCH 3)
- Fix Aug 28 kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> compile warning due
  to unusued 'inode' variable by removing dprintk (can bring back
  as a trace event if needed)
- Rename nfs_issue_read to nfs_netfs_issue_read
- Rename nfs_begin_cache_operation to nfs_netfs_begin_cache_operation
- Add nfs_netfs_read_completion and move logic from read.c into fscache.c
- Add nfs_netfs_read_initiate and nfs_netfs_read_done to handle netfs
  IO accounting updates (resolves prior hang with BAD_STATEID errors),
  moving logic out of pagelist.c

The patches are fairly stable as evidenced with xfstests generic with
various servers: hammerspace w/NFS4.2+fscache,
NetApp(ontap9) NFSv4.1+fscache, and RHEL8 NFSv3+fscache.
The known issues are as follows:

1. Unit test setting rsize < readahead does not properly read from
fscache but re-reads data from the NFS server
* This will be fixed once another linux-cachefs [4] patch to resolve
"Stop read optimisation when folio removed from pagecache"

2. "Cache volume key already in use" after xfstest runs
* xfstests (hammerspace with vers=4.2,fsc) shows the following on the
console after some tests:
"NFS: Cache volume key already in use (nfs,4.1,2,c50,cfe0100a,3,,,8000,100000,100000,bb8,ea60,7530,ea60,1)"
* This may be fixed with another patch [4] that is in progress

3. Hang (RESOLVED)

4. Data corruption seen with unit test where rsize < readahead
* Seen with vanilla 6.0-rc2 (did not occur on 5.19); likely unrelated
to this patchset
