Move NFS to using fscache DIO API instead of the old upstream I/O API as that has been removed. This is a stopgap solution as the intention is that at sometime in the future, the cache will move to using larger blocks and won't be able to store individual pages in order to deal with the potential for data corruption due to the backing filesystem being able insert/remove bridging blocks of zeros into its extent list[1]. NFS then reads and writes cache pages synchronously and one page at a time. The preferred change would be to use the netfs lib, but the new I/O API can be used directly. It's just that as the cache now needs to track data for itself, caching blocks may exceed page size... This code is somewhat borrowed from my "fallback I/O" patchset[2]. Changes ======= ver #3: - Restore lost =n fallback for nfs_fscache_release_page()[2].

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
