Provide a pair of functions to perform raw I/O on the cache. The first
function allows an arbitrary asynchronous direct-IO read to be made against
a cache object, though the read should be aligned and sized appropriately
for the backing device:
int fscache_read(struct netfs_cache_resources *cres,
loff_t start_pos,
struct iov_iter *iter,
enum netfs_read_from_hole read_hole,
netfs_io_terminated_t term_func,
void *term_func_priv);
The cache resources must have been previously initialised by
fscache_begin_read_operation(). A read operation is sent to the backing
filesystem, starting at start_pos within the file. The size of the read is
specified by the iterator, as is the location of the output buffer.
If there is a hole in the data it can be ignored and left to the backing
filesystem to deal with (NETFS_READ_HOLE_IGNORE), a hole at the beginning
can be skipped over and the buffer padded with zeros
(NETFS_READ_HOLE_CLEAR) or -ENODATA can be given (NETFS_READ_HOLE_FAIL).
If term_func is not NULL, the operation may be performed asynchronously.
Upon completion, successful or otherwise, (*term_func)() will be called and
passed term_func_priv, along with an error or the amount of data
transferred. If the op is run asynchronously, fscache_read() will return
-EIOCBQUEUED.
The second function allows an arbitrary asynchronous direct-IO write to be
made against a cache object, though the write should be aligned and sized
appropriately for the backing device:
int fscache_write(struct netfs_cache_resources *cres,
loff_t start_pos,
struct iov_iter *iter,
netfs_io_terminated_t term_func,
void *term_func_priv);
This works in very similar way to fscache_read(), except that there's no
need to deal with holes (they're just overwritten).
The caller is responsible for preventing concurrent overlapping writes.

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.
