Subject[PATCH 0/4] cifs: Use fscache I/O again after the rewrite disabled it
From
Date

Hi Steve,

Here are some patches to make cifs actually do I/O to the cache after it
got disabled in the fscache rewrite[1] plus a warning fix that you might
want to detach and take separately:

(1) Fix a kernel doc warning.

(2) Change cifs from using ->readpages() to using ->readahead().

(3) Provide a netfs cache op to query for the presence of data in the
cache.[*]

(4) Make ->readahead() call

The patches can be found here also:

[*] Ideally, we would use the netfslib read helpers, but it's probably better
to roll iterators down into cifs's I/O layer before doing that[2].
