Pull AFS updates from David Howells:
"Use the new netfs lib.
Begin the process of overhauling the use of the fscache API by AFS and
the introduction of support for features such as Transparent Huge
Pages (THPs).
- Add some support for THPs, including using core VM helper functions
to find details of pages.
- Use the ITER_XARRAY I/O iterator to mediate access to the pagecache
as this handles THPs and doesn't require allocation of large bvec
arrays.
- Delegate address_space read/pre-write I/O methods for AFS to the
netfs helper library. A method is provided to the library that
allows it to issue a read against the server.
This includes a change in use for PG_fscache (it now indicates a
DIO write in progress from the marked page), so a number of waits
need to be deployed for it.
- Split the core AFS writeback function to make it easier to modify
in future patches to handle writing to the cache. [This might
feasibly make more sense moved out into my fscache-iter branch].
I've tested these with "xfstests -g quick" against an AFS volume
(xfstests needs patching to make it work). With this, AFS without a
cache passes all expected xfstests; with a cache, there's an extra
failure, but that's also there before these patches. Fixing that
probably requires a greater overhaul (as can be found on my
fscache-iter branch, but that's for a later time).
Thanks should go to Marc Dionne and Jeff Altman of AuriStor for
exercising the patches in their test farm also"
