[PATCH 3/4] netfs, cachefiles: Add a method to query presence of data in the cache

From: David Howells
Date: Thu Jan 27 2022 - 11:03:02 EST


Add a netfs_cache_ops method by which a network filesystem can ask the
cache about what data it has available and where so that it can make a
multipage read more efficient.

+ [Required] Called to find out where the next piece of data is within a

Note that these methods are passed a pointer to the cache resource structure,
not the read request structure as they could be used in other situations where
there isn't a read request structure as well, such as writing dirty data to the
