Make AFS use the new netfs_write_begin() helper to do the pre-reading required before the write. If successful, the helper returns with the required page filled in and locked. It may read more than just one page, expanding the read to meet cache granularity requirements as necessary. Note: A more advanced version of this could be made that does generic_perform_write() for a whole cache granule. This would make it easier to avoid doing the download/read for the data to be overwritten.

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.
