VFS and page cache
VFS is integrated with page cache
If allows to provide zero-copy semantics (file contents is served from page cache, no copying)
It simplifies VFS in some cases – all operations (e.g. read) are done on pages
It also simplifies FS implementation - filesystem can provide page-level operations and page-cache layer together with VFS will handle most work (like mmap and AIO)
