[PATCH 0/6] mm, netfs, cifs: Miscellaneous fixes

Hi Christian, Steve,

Firstly, here are some fixes to DIO read handling and the retrying of
reads, particularly in relation to cifs:

 (1) Fix the missing credit renegotiation in cifs on the retrying of reads.
     The credits we had ended with the original read (or the last retry)
     and to perform a new read we need more credits otherwise the server
     can reject our read with EINVAL.

 (2) Fix the handling of short DIO reads to avoid ENODATA when the read
     retry tries to access a portion of the file after the EOF.

Secondly, some patches fixing cifs copy and zero offload:

 (3) Fix cifs_file_copychunk_range() to not try to partially invalidate
     folios that are only partly covered by the range, but rather flush
     them back and invalidate them.

 (4) Fix filemap_invalidate_inode() to use the correct invalidation
     function so that it doesn't leave partially invalidated folios hanging
     around (which may hide part of the result of an offloaded copy).

 (5) Fix smb3_zero_data() to correctly handle zeroing of data that's
     buffered locally but not yet written back and with the EOF position on
     the server short of the local EOF position.

     Note that this will also affect afs and 9p, particularly with regard
     to direct I/O writes.

And finally, here's an adjustment to debugging statements:

 (6) Adjust three debugging output statements.  Not strictly a fix, so
     could be dropped.  Including the subreq ID in some extra debug lines
     helps a bit, though.

The patches can also be found here:
