- (5) Cookies are used to represent indices, files and other objects to the

-
- (6) The netfs is allowed to propose - dynamically - any index hierarchy it

- recursive, stack space is limited, and indices can only be children of
- indices.
-
- (7) Data I/O is done direct to and from the netfs's pages. The netfs
- indicates that page A is at index B of the data-file represented by cookie
- C, and that it should be read or written. The cache backend may or may

- invoked to indicate completion. The I/O may be either synchronous or
- asynchronous.

- (8) Cookies can be "retired" upon release. At this point FS-Cache will mark
- them as obsolete and the index hierarchy rooted at that point will get
- recycled.

- (9) The netfs provides a "match" function for index searches. In addition to

- entry should be updated or deleted.

-In the example above, you can see two netfs's being backed: NFS and AFS. These
-have different index hierarchies:
-
- * The NFS primary index contains per-server indices. Each server index is
- indexed by NFS file handles to get data file objects. Each data file
- objects can have an array of pages, but may also have further child
- objects, such as extended attributes and directory entries. Extended
- attribute objects themselves have page-array contents.
-
- * The AFS primary index contains per-cell indices. Each cell index contains
- per-logical-volume indices. Each of volume index contains up to three
- indices for the read-write, read-only and backup mirrors of those volumes.
- Each of these contains vnode data file objects, each of which contains an
- array of pages.
-
-The very top index is the FS-Cache master index in which individual netfs's
-have entries.
-
-Any index object may reside in more than one cache, provided it only has index
-children. Any index with non-index object children will be assumed to only
-reside in one cache.
+ * There are three types of cookie: cache, volume and data file cookies.
+ Cache cookies represent the cache as a whole and are not normally visible
+ to the netfs; the netfs gets a volume cookie to represent a collection of
+ files (typically something that a netfs would get for a superblock); and
+ data file cookies are used to cache data (something that would be got for
+ an inode).
+
+ * Volumes are matched using a key. This is a printable string that is used
+ to encode all the information that might be needed to distinguish one
+ superblock, say, from another. This would be a compound of things like
+ cell name or server address, volume name or share path. It must be a
+ valid pathname.
+
+ * Cookies are matched using a key. This is a binary blob and is used to
+ represent the object within a volume (so the volume key need not form
+ part of the blob). This might include things like an inode number and
+ uniquifier or a file handle.
+
+ * Cookie resources are set up and pinned by marking the cookie in-use.
+ This prevents the backing resources from being culled. Timed garbage
+ collection is employed to eliminate cookies that haven't been used for a
+ short while, thereby reducing resource overload. This is intended to be
+ used when a file is opened or closed.
+
+ A cookie can be marked in-use multiple times simultaneously; each mark
+ must be unused.
+
+ * Begin/end access functions are provided to delay cache withdrawal for the
+ duration of an operation and prevent structs from being freed whilst
+ we're looking at them.
+
+ * Data I/O is done by asynchronous DIO to/from a buffer described by the
+ netfs using an iov_iter.
+
+ * An invalidation facility is available to discard data from the cache and
+ to deal with I/O that's in progress that is accessing old data.
+
+ * Cookies can be "retired" upon release, thereby causing the object to be
+ removed from the cache.
