netfs_read_folio() needs to handle partially-valid pages that are marked dirty, but not uptodate in the event that someone tries to read a page was used to cache data by a streaming write. In such a case, make netfs_read_folio() set up a bvec iterator that points to the parts of the folio that need filling and to a sink page for the data that should be discarded and use that instead of i_pages as the iterator to be written to. This requires netfs_rreq_unlock_folios() to convert the page into a normal dirty uptodate page, getting rid of the partial write record and bumping the group pointer over to folio->private.

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.
