[PATCH v12 5/8] netfs: Add the cache object ID to netfs_read/write tracepoints

From: David Howells

Date: Tue Sep 08 2026 - 06:08:45 EST


Add the cache object debug ID to netfs_read/write tracepoints to make
debugging easier as there's now a direct cross-reference with the
cachefiles tracepoints that only log that debug ID.
