 access must be provided by the netfs.
 
 
+Per-Inode Context
+=================
+
+The network filesystem helper library needs a place to store a bit of state for
+its use on each netfs inode it is helping to manage.  To this end, a context
+structure is defined::
+
+	struct netfs_i_context {
+		const struct netfs_request_ops *ops;
+		struct fscache_cookie	*cache;
+	};
+
+A network filesystem that wants to use netfs lib must place one of these
+directly after the VFS ``struct inode`` it allocates, usually as part of its
+own struct.  This can be done in a way similar to the following::
+
+	struct my_inode {
+		struct {
+			/* These must be contiguous */
+			struct inode		vfs_inode;
+			struct netfs_i_context  netfs_ctx;
+		};
+		...
+	};
+
+This allows netfslib to find its state by simple offset from the inode pointer,
+thereby allowing the netfslib helper functions to be pointed to directly by the
+VFS/VM operation tables.
+
+The structure contains the following fields:
+
+ * ``ops``
+
+   The set of operations provided by the network filesystem to netfslib.
+
+ * ``cache``
+
+   Local caching cookie, or NULL if no caching is enabled.  This field does not
+   exist if fscache is disabled.
+
+
+Inode Context Helper Functions
+------------------------------
+
+To help deal with the per-inode context, a number helper functions are
+provided.  Firstly, a function to perform basic initialisation on a context and
+set the operations table pointer::
+
+	void netfs_i_context_init(struct inode *inode,
+				  const struct netfs_request_ops *ops);
+
+then two functions to cast between the VFS inode structure and the netfs
+context::
+
+	struct netfs_i_context *netfs_i_context(struct inode *inode);
+	struct inode *netfs_inode(struct netfs_i_context *ctx);
+
+and finally, a function to get the cache cookie pointer from the context
+attached to an inode (or NULL if fscache is disabled)::
+
+	struct fscache_cookie *netfs_i_cookie(struct inode *inode);
+
+
