netfs: Provide readahead and readpage netfs helpers
Add a pair of helper functions: (*) netfs_readahead() (*) netfs_readpage() to do the work of handling a readahead or a readpage, where the page(s) that form part of the request may be split between the local cache, the server or just require clearing, and may be single pages and transparent huge pages. This is all handled within the helper. Note that while both will read from the cache if there is data present, only netfs_readahead() will expand the request beyond what it was asked to do, and only netfs_readahead() will write back to the cache. netfs_readpage(), on the other hand, is synchronous and only fetches the page (which might be a THP) it is asked for. The netfs gives the helper parameters from the VM, the cache cookie it wants to use (or NULL) and a table of operations (only one of which is mandatory): (*) expand_readahead() [optional] Called to allow the netfs to request an expansion of a readahead request to meet its own alignment requirements. This is done by changing rreq->start and rreq->len. (*) clamp_length() [optional] Called to allow the netfs to cut down a subrequest to meet its own boundary requirements. If it does this, the helper will generate additional subrequests until the full request is satisfied. (*) is_still_valid() [optional] Called to find out if the data just read from the cache has been invalidated and must be reread from the server. (*) issue_op() [required] Called to ask the netfs to issue a read to the server. The subrequest describes the read. The read request holds information about the file being accessed. The netfs can cache information in rreq->netfs_priv. Upon completion, the netfs should set the error, transferred and can also set FSCACHE_SREQ_CLEAR_TAIL and then call fscache_subreq_terminated(). (*) done() [optional] Called after the pages have been unlocked. The read request is still pinning the file and mapping and may still be pinning pages with PG_fscache. rreq->error indicates any error that has been accumulated. (*) cleanup() [optional] Called when the helper is disposing of a finished read request. This allows the netfs to clear rreq->netfs_priv. Netfs support is enabled with CONFIG_NETFS_SUPPORT=y. It will be built even if CONFIG_FSCACHE=n and in this case much of it should be optimised away, allowing the filesystem to use it even when caching is disabled. Changes: v5: - Comment why netfs_readahead() is putting pages[2]. - Use page_file_mapping() rather than page->mapping[2]. - Use page_index() rather than page->index[2]. - Use set_page_fscache()[3] rather then SetPageFsCache() as this takes an appropriate ref too[4]. v4: - Folded in a kerneldoc comment fix. - Folded in a fix for the error handling in the case that ENOMEM occurs. - Added flag to netfs_subreq_terminated() to indicate that the caller may have been running async and stuff that might sleep needs punting to a workqueue (can't use in_softirq()[1]).
