Merge tag 'vfs-6.8.netfs' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull netfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This extends the netfs helper library that network filesystems can use
  to replace their own implementations. Both afs and 9p are ported. cifs
  is ready as well but the patches are way bigger and will be routed
  separately once this is merged. That will remove lots of code as well.

  The overal goal is to get high-level I/O and knowledge of the page
  cache and ouf of the filesystem drivers. This includes knowledge about
  the existence of pages and folios

  The pull request converts afs and 9p. This removes about 800 lines of
  code from afs and 300 from 9p. For 9p it is now possible to do writes
  in larger than a page chunks. Additionally, multipage folio support
  can be turned on for 9p. Separate patches exist for cifs removing
  another 2000+ lines. I've included detailed information in the
  individual pulls I took.

  Summary:

   - Add NFS-style (and Ceph-style) locking around DIO vs buffered I/O
     calls to prevent these from happening at the same time.

   - Support for direct and unbuffered I/O.

   - Support for write-through caching in the page cache.

   - O_*SYNC and RWF_*SYNC writes use write-through rather than writing
     to the page cache and then flushing afterwards.

   - Support for write-streaming.

   - Support for write grouping.

   - Skip reads for which the server could only return zeros or EOF.

   - The fscache module is now part of the netfs library and the
     corresponding maintainer entry is updated.

   - Some helpers from the fscache subsystem are renamed to mark them as
     belonging to the netfs library.

   - Follow-up fixes for the netfs library.

   - Follow-up fixes for the 9p conversion"
