When netfslib is performing writeback (ie. ->writepages), it maintains two
parallel streams of writes, one to the server and one to the cache, but it
doesn't mark either stream of writes as active until it gets some data that
needs to be written to that stream.
This is done because some folios will only be written to the cache
(e.g. copying to the cache on read is done by marking the folios and
letting writeback do the actual work) and sometimes we'll only be writing
to the server (e.g. if there's no cache).
Now, since we don't actually dispatch uploads and cache writes in parallel,
but rather flip between the streams, depending on which has the lowest
so-far-issued offset, and don't wait for the subreqs to finish before
flipping, we can end up in a situation where, say, we issue a write to the
server and this completes before we start the write to the cache.
But because we only activate a stream when we first add a subreq to it, the
result collection code may run before we manage to activate the stream -
resulting in the folio being cleaned and having the writeback-in-progress
mark removed. At this point, the folio no longer belongs to us.
This is only really a problem for folios that need to be written to both
streams - and in that case, the upload to the server is started first,
followed by the write to the cache - and the cache write may see a bad
folio.
Fix this by activating the cache stream up front if there's a cache
available. If there's a cache, then all data is going to be written to it.
