[PATCH v3 02/15] netfs: Fix netfs_create_write_req() to handle async cache object creation
From: David Howells
Date: Thu Jun 25 2026 - 10:10:55 EST
netfs_create_write_req() will skip caching if the fscache cookie is
disabled, but this is a problem because async cache object creation might
not have got far enough yet that has been enabled - thereby causing the
call to fscache_begin_write_operation() to be skipped.
Fix this by removing the checks on the cookie and delegating this to
fscache_begin_write_operation().
Fixes: 7b589a9b45ae ("netfs: Fix handling of USE_PGPRIV2 and WRITE_TO_CACHE flags")
Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260624115737.2964520-1-dhowells%40redhat.com
