[PATCH 24/64] netfs: Pass more information on how to deal with a hole in the cache

From: David Howells
Date: Mon Nov 29 2021 - 09:30:57 EST


Pass more information to the cache on how to deal with a hole if it
encounters one when trying to read from the cache. Three options are
provided:

(1) NETFS_READ_HOLE_IGNORE. Read the hole along with the data, assuming
it to be a punched-out extent by the backing filesystem.

(2) NETFS_READ_HOLE_CLEAR. If there's a hole, erase the requested region
of the cache and clear the read buffer.

(3) NETFS_READ_HOLE_FAIL. Fail the read if a hole is detected.
