This patch fixes two warnings generated by make docs. The functions
fscache_use_cookie and fscache_unuse_cookie, both have a parameter
named cookie. But they are documented with the name "object" with
unclear description. Which generates the warning when creating docs.
This commit will replace the currently misdocumented parameter names
with the correct ones while adding proper descriptions.

- Some build-system performance improvements.
- The removal of the archaic submitting-drivers.rst document,
with the movement of what useful material that remained into

If an NFS file is opened for writing and closed, fscache_invalidate() will
be asked to invalidate the file - however, if the cookie is in the
LOOKING_UP state (or the CREATING state), then request to invalidate
doesn't get recorded for fscache_cookie_state_machine() to do something
with.
Fix this by making __fscache_invalidate() set a flag if it sees the cookie
is in the LOOKING_UP state to indicate that we need to go to invalidation.
Note that this requires a count on the n_accesses counter for the state
machine, which that will release when it's done.
fscache_cookie_state_machine() then shifts to the INVALIDATING state if it
sees the flag.
Without this, an nfs file can get corrupted if it gets modified locally and
then read locally as the cache contents may not get updated.

Fscache/CacheFiles used to serve as a local cache for a remote
networking fs. A new on-demand read mode will be introduced for
CacheFiles, which can boost the scenario where on-demand read semantics
are needed, e.g. container image distribution.
The essential difference between these two modes is seen when a cache
miss occurs: In the original mode, the netfs will fetch the data from
the remote server and then write it to the cache file; in on-demand
read mode, fetching the data and writing it into the cache is delegated
to a user daemon.
As the first step, notify the user daemon when looking up cookie. In
this case, an anonymous fd is sent to the user daemon, through which the
user daemon can write the fetched data to the cache file. Since the user
daemon may move the anonymous fd around, e.g. through dup(), an object
ID uniquely identifying the cache file is also attached.
Also add one advisory flag (FSCACHE_ADV_WANT_CACHE_SIZE) suggesting that
the cache file size shall be retrieved at runtime. This helps the
scenario where one cache file contains multiple netfs files, e.g. for
the purpose of deduplication. In this case, netfs itself has no idea the
size of the cache file, whilst the user daemon should give the hint on
it.

Pull netfs updates from David Howells:
"Netfs prep for write helpers.
Having had a go at implementing write helpers and content encryption
support in netfslib, it seems that the netfs_read_{,sub}request
structs and the equivalent write request structs were almost the same
and so should be merged, thereby requiring only one set of
alloc/get/put functions and a common set of tracepoints.
Merging the structs also has the advantage that if a bounce buffer is
added to the request struct, a read operation can be performed to fill
the bounce buffer, the contents of the buffer can be modified and then
a write operation can be performed on it to send the data wherever it
needs to go using the same request structure all the way through. The
I/O handlers would then transparently perform any required crypto.
This should make it easier to perform RMW cycles if needed.
The potentially common functions and structs, however, by their names
all proclaim themselves to be associated with the read side of things.
The bulk of these changes alter this in the following ways:
- Rename struct netfs_read_{,sub}request to netfs_io_{,sub}request.
- Rename some enums, members and flags to make them more appropriate.
- Adjust some comments to match.
- Drop "read"/"rreq" from the names of common functions. For
instance, netfs_get_read_request() becomes netfs_get_request().
- The ->init_rreq() and ->issue_op() methods become ->init_request()
and ->issue_read(). I've kept the latter as a read-specific
function and in another branch added an ->issue_write() method.
The driver source is then reorganised into a number of files:
fs/netfs/buffered_read.c Create read reqs to the pagecache
fs/netfs/io.c Dispatchers for read and write reqs
fs/netfs/main.c Some general miscellaneous bits
fs/netfs/objects.c Alloc, get and put functions
fs/netfs/stats.c Optional procfs statistics.
and future development can be fitted into this scheme, e.g.:
fs/netfs/buffered_write.c Modify the pagecache
fs/netfs/buffered_flush.c Writeback from the pagecache
fs/netfs/direct_read.c DIO read support
fs/netfs/direct_write.c DIO write support
fs/netfs/unbuffered_write.c Write modifications directly back
Beyond the above changes, there are also some changes that affect how
things work:
- Make fscache_end_operation() generally available.
- In the netfs tracing header, generate enums from the symbol ->
string mapping tables rather than manually coding them.
- Add a struct for filesystems that uses netfslib to put into their
inode wrapper structs to hold extra state that netfslib is
interested in, such as the fscache cookie. This allows netfslib
functions to be set in filesystem operation tables and jumped to
directly without having to have a filesystem wrapper.
- Add a member to the struct added above to track the remote inode
length as that may differ if local modifications are buffered. We
may need to supply an appropriate EOF pointer when storing data (in
AFS for example).
- Pass extra information to netfs_alloc_request() so that the
->init_request() hook can access it and retain information to
indicate the origin of the operation.
- Make the ->init_request() hook return an error, thereby allowing a
filesystem that isn't allowed to cache an inode (ceph or cifs, for
example) to skip readahead.
- Switch to using refcount_t for subrequests and add tracepoints to
log refcount changes for the request and subrequest structs.
- Add a function to consolidate dispatching a read request. Similar
code is used in three places and another couple are likely to be
added in the future"

Add a comment into fscache_note_page_release() to explain how the
page-release optimisation logic works[1]. It's not entirely obvious as it
has nothing to do with whether or not the netfs file contains data.
FSCACHE_COOKIE_NO_DATA_TO_READ is set if we have no data in the cache yet
(ie. the backing file lookup was negative, the file is 0 length or the
cookie got invalidated). It means that we have no data in the cache, not
that the file is necessarily empty on the server.
FSCACHE_COOKIE_HAVE_DATA is set once we've stored data in the backing file.
From that point on, we have data we *could* read - however, it's covered by
pages in the netfs pagecache until at such time one of those covering pages
is released.
So if we've written data to the cache (HAVE_DATA) and there wasn't any data
in the cache when we started (NO_DATA_TO_READ), it may no longer be true
that we can skip reading from the cache.
Read skipping is done by cachefiles_prepare_read().
Note that tracking is not done on a per-page basis, but only on a per-file
basis.

Move NFS to using fscache DIO API instead of the old upstream I/O API as
that has been removed. This is a stopgap solution as the intention is that
at sometime in the future, the cache will move to using larger blocks and
won't be able to store individual pages in order to deal with the potential
for data corruption due to the backing filesystem being able insert/remove
bridging blocks of zeros into its extent list[1].
NFS then reads and writes cache pages synchronously and one page at a time.
The preferred change would be to use the netfs lib, but the new I/O API can
be used directly. It's just that as the cache now needs to track data for
itself, caching blocks may exceed page size...
This code is somewhat borrowed from my "fallback I/O" patchset[2].

Cachefiles has a problem in that it needs to keep the backing file for a
cookie open whilst there are local modifications pending that need to be
written to it. However, we don't want to keep the file open indefinitely,
as that causes EMFILE/ENFILE/ENOMEM problems.
Reopening the cache file, however, is a problem if this is being done due
to writeback triggered by exit(). Some filesystems will oops if we try to
open a file in that context because they want to access current->fs or
other resources that have already been dismantled.
To get around this, I added the following:
(1) An inode flag, I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB, to be set on a network filesystem
inode to indicate that we have a usage count on the cookie caching
that inode.
(2) A flag in struct writeback_control, unpinned_fscache_wb, that is set
when __writeback_single_inode() clears the last dirty page from
i_pages - at which point it clears I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB and sets this
flag.
This has to be done here so that clearing I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB can be
done atomically with the check of PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY that clears
I_DIRTY_PAGES.
(3) A function, fscache_set_page_dirty(), which if it is not set, sets
I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB and calls fscache_use_cookie() to pin the cache
resources.
(4) A function, fscache_unpin_writeback(), to be called by ->write_inode()
to unuse the cookie.
(5) A function, fscache_clear_inode_writeback(), to be called when the
inode is evicted, before clear_inode() is called. This cleans up any
lingering I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB.
The network filesystem can then use these tools to make sure that
fscache_write_to_cache() can write locally modified data to the cache as
well as to the server.
For the future, I'm working on write helpers for netfs lib that should
allow this facility to be removed by keeping track of the dirty regions
separately - but that's incomplete at the moment and is also going to be
affected by folios, one way or another, since it deals with pages

Provide a higher-level function than fscache_write() to perform a write
from an inode's pagecache to the cache, whilst fending off concurrent
writes by means of the PG_fscache mark on a page:
void fscache_write_to_cache(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
struct address_space *mapping,
loff_t start,
size_t len,
loff_t i_size,
netfs_io_terminated_t term_func,
void *term_func_priv,
bool caching);
If caching is false, this function does nothing except call (*term_func)()
if given. It assumes that, in such a case, PG_fscache will not have been
set on the pages.
Otherwise, if caching is true, this function requires the source pages to
have had PG_fscache set on them before calling. start and len define the
region of the file to be modified and i_size indicates the new file size.
The source pages are extracted from the mapping.
term_func and term_func_priv work as for fscache_write(). The PG_fscache
marks will be cleared at the end of the operation, before term_func is
called or the function otherwise returns.
There is an additonal helper function to clear the PG_fscache bits from a
range of pages:
void fscache_clear_page_bits(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
struct address_space *mapping,
loff_t start, size_t len,
bool caching);
If caching is true, the pages to be managed are expected to be located on
mapping in the range defined by start and len. If caching is false, it
does nothing.

Provide a pair of functions to perform raw I/O on the cache. The first
function allows an arbitrary asynchronous direct-IO read to be made against
a cache object, though the read should be aligned and sized appropriately

fscache_begin_read_operation(). A read operation is sent to the backing
filesystem, starting at start_pos within the file. The size of the read is
specified by the iterator, as is the location of the output buffer.
If there is a hole in the data it can be ignored and left to the backing
filesystem to deal with (NETFS_READ_HOLE_IGNORE), a hole at the beginning
can be skipped over and the buffer padded with zeros
(NETFS_READ_HOLE_CLEAR) or -ENODATA can be given (NETFS_READ_HOLE_FAIL).
If term_func is not NULL, the operation may be performed asynchronously.
Upon completion, successful or otherwise, (*term_func)() will be called and
passed term_func_priv, along with an error or the amount of data
transferred. If the op is run asynchronously, fscache_read() will return
-EIOCBQUEUED.
The second function allows an arbitrary asynchronous direct-IO write to be
made against a cache object, though the write should be aligned and sized
appropriately for the backing device:
int fscache_write(struct netfs_cache_resources *cres,
loff_t start_pos,
struct iov_iter *iter,
netfs_io_terminated_t term_func,
void *term_func_priv);
This works in very similar way to fscache_read(), except that there's no
need to deal with holes (they're just overwritten).
The caller is responsible for preventing concurrent overlapping writes.

Provide a function to begin a read operation:
int fscache_begin_read_operation(
struct netfs_cache_resources *cres,
struct fscache_cookie *cookie)
This is primarily intended to be called by network filesystems on behalf of
netfslib, but may also be called to use the I/O access functions directly.
It attaches the resources required by the cache to cres struct from the
supplied cookie.
This holds access to the cache behind the cookie for the duration of the
operation and forces cache withdrawal and cookie invalidation to perform
synchronisation on the operation. cres->inval_counter is set from the
cookie at this point so that it can be compared at the end of the
operation.
Note that this does not guarantee that the cache state is fully set up and
able to perform I/O immediately; looking up and creation may be left in
progress in the background. The operations intended to be called by the
network filesystem, such as reading and writing, are expected to wait for
the cookie to move to the correct state.
This will, however, potentially sleep, waiting for a certain minimum state
to be set or for operations such as invalidate to advance far enough that
I/O can resume.
Also provide a function for the cache to call to wait for the cache object
to get to a state where it can be used for certain things:
bool fscache_wait_for_operation(struct netfs_cache_resources *cres,
enum fscache_want_stage stage);
This looks at the cache resources provided by the begin function and waits
for them to get to an appropriate stage. There's a choice of wanting just
some parameters (FSCACHE_WANT_PARAM) or the ability to do I/O
(FSCACHE_WANT_READ or FSCACHE_WANT_WRITE).

Add a function to invalidate the cache behind a cookie:
void fscache_invalidate(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
const void *aux_data,
loff_t size,
unsigned int flags)
This causes any cached data for the specified cookie to be discarded. If
the cookie is marked as being in use, a new cache object will be created if
possible and future I/O will use that instead. In-flight I/O should be
abandoned (writes) or reconsidered (reads). Each time it is called
cookie->inval_counter is incremented and this can be used to detect
invalidation at the end of an I/O operation.
The coherency data attached to the cookie can be updated and the cookie
size should be reset. One flag is available, FSCACHE_INVAL_DIO_WRITE,
which should be used to indicate invalidation due to a DIO write on a
file. This will temporarily disable caching for this cookie.

Provide a pair of functions to count the number of users of a cookie (open
files, writeback, invalidation, resizing, reads, writes), to obtain and pin
resources for the cookie and to prevent culling for the whilst there are
users.
The first function marks a cookie as being in use:
void fscache_use_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
bool will_modify);
The caller should indicate the cookie to use and whether or not the caller
is in a context that may modify the cookie (e.g. a file open O_RDWR).
If the cookie is not already resourced, fscache will ask the cache backend
in the background to do whatever it needs to look up, create or otherwise
obtain the resources necessary to access data. This is pinned to the
cookie and may not be culled, though it may be withdrawn if the cache as a
whole is withdrawn.
The second function removes the in-use mark from a cookie and, optionally,
updates the coherency data:
void fscache_unuse_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
const void *aux_data,
const loff_t *object_size);
If non-NULL, the aux_data buffer and/or the object_size will be saved into
the cookie and will be set on the backing store when the object is
committed.
If this removes the last usage on a cookie, the cookie is placed onto an
LRU list from which it will be removed and closed after a couple of seconds
if it doesn't get reused. This prevents resource overload in the cache -
in particular it prevents it from holding too many files open.
Changes
=======
ver #2:
- Fix fscache_unuse_cookie() to use atomic_dec_and_lock() to avoid a
potential race if the cookie gets reused before it completes the
unusement.

Add functions to the fscache API to allow data file cookies to be acquired
and relinquished by the network filesystem. It is intended that the
filesystem will create such cookies per-inode under a volume.
To request a cookie, the filesystem should call:
struct fscache_cookie *
fscache_acquire_cookie(struct fscache_volume *volume,
u8 advice,
const void *index_key,
size_t index_key_len,
const void *aux_data,
size_t aux_data_len,
loff_t object_size)
The filesystem must first have created a volume cookie, which is passed in
here. If it passes in NULL then the function will just return a NULL
cookie.
A binary key should be passed in index_key and is of size index_key_len.
This is saved in the cookie and is used to locate the associated data in
the cache.
A coherency data buffer of size aux_data_len will be allocated and
initialised from the buffer pointed to by aux_data. This is used to
validate cache objects when they're opened and is stored on disk with them
when they're committed. The data is stored in the cookie and will be
updateable by various functions in later patches.
The object_size must also be given. This is also used to perform a
coherency check and to size the backing storage appropriately.
This function disallows a cookie from being acquired twice in parallel,
though it will cause the second user to wait if the first is busy
relinquishing its cookie.
When a network filesystem has finished with a cookie, it should call:
void
fscache_relinquish_cookie(struct fscache_volume *volume,
bool retire)
If retire is true, any backing data will be discarded immediately.
Changes
=======
ver #3:
- fscache_hash()'s size parameter is now in bytes. Use __le32 as the unit
to round up to.
- When comparing cookies, simply see if the attributes are the same rather
than subtracting them to produce a strcmp-style return[1].
- Add a check to see if the cookie is still hashed at the point of
freeing.
ver #2:
- Don't hold n_accesses elevated whilst cache is bound to a cookie, but
rather add a flag that prevents the state machine from being queued when
n_accesses reaches 0.
- Remove the unused cookie pointer field from the fscache_acquire
tracepoint.

Add functions to the fscache API to allow volumes to be acquired and
relinquished by the network filesystem. A volume is an index of data
storage cache objects. A volume is represented by a volume cookie in the
API. A filesystem would typically create a volume for a superblock and
then create per-inode cookies within it.
To request a volume, the filesystem calls:
struct fscache_volume *
fscache_acquire_volume(const char *volume_key,
const char *cache_name,
const void *coherency_data,
size_t coherency_len)
The volume_key is a printable string used to match the volume in the cache.
It should not contain any '/' characters. For AFS, for example, this would
be "afs,<cellname>,<volume_id>", e.g. "afs,example.com,523001".
The cache_name can be NULL, but if not it should be a string indicating the
name of the cache to use if there's more than one available.
The coherency data, if given, is an arbitrarily-sized blob that's attached
to the volume and is compared when the volume is looked up. If it doesn't
match, the old volume is judged to be out of date and it and everything
within it is discarded.
Acquiring a volume twice concurrently is disallowed, though the function
will wait if an old volume cookie is being relinquishing.
When a network filesystem has finished with a volume, it should return the
volume cookie by calling:
void
fscache_relinquish_volume(struct fscache_volume *volume,
const void *coherency_data,
bool invalidate)
If invalidate is true, the entire volume will be discarded; if false, the
volume will be synced and the coherency data will be updated.
Changes
=======
ver #4:
- Removed an extraneous param from kdoc on fscache_relinquish_volume()[3].
ver #3:
- fscache_hash()'s size parameter is now in bytes. Use __le32 as the unit
to round up to.
- When comparing cookies, simply see if the attributes are the same rather
than subtracting them to produce a strcmp-style return[2].
- Make the coherency data an arbitrary blob rather than a u64, but don't
store it for the moment.
ver #2:
- Fix error check[1].
- Make a fscache_acquire_volume() return errors, including EBUSY if a
conflicting volume cookie already exists. No error is printed now -
that's left to the netfs.

Add an alternate API by which the cache can be accessed through a kiocb,
doing async DIO, rather than using the current API that tells the cache
where all the pages are.
The new API is intended to be used in conjunction with the netfs helper
library. A filesystem must pick one or the other and not mix them.
Filesystems wanting to use the new API must #define FSCACHE_USE_NEW_IO_API
before #including the header. This prevents them from continuing to use
the old API at the same time as there are incompatibilities in how the
PG_fscache page bit is used.
Changes:
v6:
- Provide a routine to shape a write so that the start and length can be

Move the PG_fscache related helper funcs (such as SetPageFsCache()) to
linux/netfs.h rather than linux/fscache.h as the intention is to move to a
model where they're used by the network filesystem and the helper library,
but not by fscache/cachefiles itself.

Maintain a catalogue of allocated cookies so that cookie collisions can be
handled properly. For the moment, this just involves printing a warning
and returning a NULL cookie to the caller of fscache_acquire_cookie(), but
in future it might make sense to wait for the old cookie to finish being
cleaned up.
This requires the cookie key to be stored attached to the cookie so that we
still have the key available if the netfs relinquishes the cookie. This is
done by an earlier patch.
The catalogue also renders redundant fscache_netfs_list (used for checking
for duplicates), so that can be removed.

Pass the object size in to fscache_acquire_cookie() and
fscache_write_page() rather than the netfs providing a callback by which it
can be received. This makes it easier to update the size of the object
when a new page is written that extends the object.
The current object size is also passed by fscache to the check_aux
function, obviating the need to store it in the aux data.

Attach copies of the index key and auxiliary data to the fscache cookie so
that:
(1) The callbacks to the netfs for this stuff can be eliminated. This
can simplify things in the cache as the information is still
available, even after the cache has relinquished the cookie.
(2) Simplifies the locking requirements of accessing the information as we
don't have to worry about the netfs object going away on us.
(3) The cache can do lazy updating of the coherency information on disk.
As long as the cache is flushed before reboot/poweroff, there's no
need to update the coherency info on disk every time it changes.
(4) Cookies can be hashed or put in a tree as the index key is easily
available. This allows:
(a) Checks for duplicate cookies can be made at the top fscache layer
rather than down in the bowels of the cache backend.
(b) Caching can be added to a netfs object that has a cookie if the
cache is brought online after the netfs object is allocated.
A certain amount of space is made in the cookie for inline copies of the
data, but if it won't fit there, extra memory will be allocated for it.
The downside of this is that live cache operation requires more memory.

Fix the default for fscache_maybe_release_page() for when the cookie isn't
valid or the page isn't cached. It mustn't return false as that indicates
the page cannot yet be freed.
The problem with the default is that if, say, there's no cache, but a
network filesystem's pages are using up almost all the available memory, a
system can OOM because the filesystem ->releasepage() op will not allow
them to be released as fscache_maybe_release_page() incorrectly prevents
it.
This can be tested by writing a sequence of 512MiB files to an AFS mount.
It does not affect NFS or CIFS because both of those wrap the call in a
check of PG_fscache and it shouldn't bother Ceph as that only has
PG_private set whilst writeback is in progress. This might be an issue for
9P, however.
Note that the pages aren't entirely stuck. Removing a file or unmounting
will clear things because that uses ->invalidatepage() instead.

Patch series "Ranged pagevec lookup", v2.
In this series I make pagevec_lookup() update the index (to be
consistent with pagevec_lookup_tag() and also as a preparation for
ranged lookups), provide ranged variant of pagevec_lookup() and use it
in places where it makes sense. This not only removes some common code
but is also a measurable performance win for some use cases (see patch
4/10) where radix tree is sparse and searching & grabing of a page after
the end of the range has measurable overhead.
This patch (of 10):
The callback doesn't ever get called. Remove it.

Provide the ability to enable and disable fscache cookies. A disabled cookie
will reject or ignore further requests to:
Acquire a child cookie
Invalidate and update backing objects
Check the consistency of a backing object
Allocate storage for backing page
Read backing pages
Write to backing pages
but still allows:
Checks/waits on the completion of already in-progress objects
Uncaching of pages
Relinquishment of cookies
Two new operations are provided:
(1) Disable a cookie:
void fscache_disable_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
bool invalidate);
If the cookie is not already disabled, this locks the cookie against other
dis/enablement ops, marks the cookie as being disabled, discards or
invalidates any backing objects and waits for cessation of activity on any
associated object.
This is a wrapper around a chunk split out of fscache_relinquish_cookie(),
but it reinitialises the cookie such that it can be reenabled.
All possible failures are handled internally. The caller should consider
calling fscache_uncache_all_inode_pages() afterwards to make sure all page
markings are cleared up.
(2) Enable a cookie:
void fscache_enable_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
bool (*can_enable)(void *data),
void *data)
If the cookie is not already enabled, this locks the cookie against other
dis/enablement ops, invokes can_enable() and, if the cookie is not an
index cookie, will begin the procedure of acquiring backing objects.
The optional can_enable() function is passed the data argument and returns
a ruling as to whether or not enablement should actually be permitted to
begin.
All possible failures are handled internally. The cookie will only be
marked as enabled if provisional backing objects are allocated.
A later patch will introduce these to NFS. Cookie enablement during nfs_open()
is then contingent on i_writecount <= 0. can_enable() checks for a race
between open(O_RDONLY) and open(O_WRONLY/O_RDWR). This simplifies NFS's cookie
handling and allows us to get rid of open(O_RDONLY) accidentally introducing
caching to an inode that's open for writing already.
One operation has its API modified:
(3) Acquire a cookie.
struct fscache_cookie *fscache_acquire_cookie(
struct fscache_cookie *parent,
const struct fscache_cookie_def *def,
void *netfs_data,
bool enable);
This now has an additional argument that indicates whether the requested
cookie should be enabled by default. It doesn't need the can_enable()
function because the caller must prevent multiple calls for the same netfs
object and it doesn't need to take the enablement lock because no one else
can get at the cookie before this returns.

Currently the fscache code expect the netfs to call fscache_readpages_or_alloc
inside the aops readpages callback. It marks all the pages in the list
provided by readahead with PG_private_2. In the cases that the netfs fails to
read all the pages (which is legal) it ends up returning to the readahead and
triggering a BUG. This happens because the page list still contains marked
pages.
This patch implements a simple fscache_readpages_cancel function that the netfs
should call before returning from readpages. It will revoke the pages from the
underlying cache backend and unmark them.
The problem was originally worked out in the Ceph devel tree, but it also
occurs in CIFS. It appears that NFS, AFS and 9P are okay as read_cache_pages()
will clean up the unprocessed pages in the case of an error.
This can be used to address the following oops:

Extend the fscache netfs API so that the netfs can ask as to whether a cache
object is up to date with respect to its corresponding netfs object:
int fscache_check_consistency(struct fscache_cookie *cookie)
This will call back to the netfs to check whether the auxiliary data associated
with a cookie is correct. It returns 0 if it is and -ESTALE if it isn't; it
may also return -ENOMEM and -ERESTARTSYS.
The backends now have to implement a mandatory operation pointer:
int (*check_consistency)(struct fscache_object *object)
that corresponds to the above API call. FS-Cache takes care of pinning the
object and the cookie in memory and managing this call with respect to the
object state.

Provide a proper invalidation method rather than relying on the netfs retiring
the cookie it has and getting a new one. The problem with this is that isn't
easy for the netfs to make sure that it has completed/cancelled all its
outstanding storage and retrieval operations on the cookie it is retiring.
Instead, have the cache provide an invalidation method that will cancel or wait
for all currently outstanding operations before invalidating the cache, and
will cause new operations to queue up behind that. Whilst invalidation is in
progress, some requests will be rejected until the cache can stack a barrier on
the operation queue to cause new operations to be deferred behind it.

Under some circumstances CacheFiles defers the marking of pages with PG_fscache
so that it can take advantage of pagevecs to reduce the number of calls to
fscache_mark_pages_cached() and the netfs's hook to keep track of this.
There are, however, two problems with this:
(1) It can lead to the PG_fscache mark being applied _after_ the page is set
PG_uptodate and unlocked (by the call to fscache_end_io()).
(2) CacheFiles's ref on the page is dropped immediately following
fscache_end_io() - and so may not still be held when the mark is applied.
This can lead to the page being passed back to the allocator before the
mark is applied.
Fix this by, where appropriate, marking the page before calling
fscache_end_io() and releasing the page. This means that we can't take
advantage of pagevecs and have to make a separate call for each page to the
marking routines.
The symptoms of this are Bad Page state errors cropping up under memory
pressure, for example:
BUG: Bad page state in process tar pfn:002da

As can be seen, PG_private_2 (== PG_fscache) is set in the page flags.
Instrumenting fscache_mark_pages_cached() to verify whether page->mapping was
set appropriately showed that sometimes it wasn't. This led to the discovery
that sometimes the page has apparently been reclaimed by the time the marker
got to see it.

Add an FS-Cache helper to bulk uncache pages on an inode. This will
only work for the circumstance where the pages in the cache correspond
1:1 with the pages attached to an inode's page cache.
This is required for CIFS and NFS: When disabling inode cookie, we were
returning the cookie and setting cifsi->fscache to NULL but failed to
invalidate any previously mapped pages. This resulted in "Bad page
state" errors and manifested in other kind of errors when running
fsstress. Fix it by uncaching mapped pages when we disable the inode
cookie.
This patch should fix the following oops and "Bad page state" errors
seen during fsstress testing.

Handle netfs pages that the vmscan algorithm wants to evict from the pagecache
under OOM conditions, but that are waiting for write to the cache. Under these
conditions, vmscan calls the releasepage() function of the netfs, asking if a
page can be discarded.
The problem is typified by the following trace of a stuck process:

In the above backtrace, the following is happening:
(1) A page storage operation is being executed by a slow-work thread
(fscache_write_op()).
(2) FS-Cache farms the operation out to the cache to perform
(cachefiles_write_page()).
(3) CacheFiles is then calling Ext3 to perform the actual write, using Ext3's
standard write (do_sync_write()) under KERNEL_DS directly from the netfs
page.
(4) However, for Ext3 to perform the write, it must allocate some memory, in
particular, it must allocate at least one page cache page into which it
can copy the data from the netfs page.
(5) Under OOM conditions, the memory allocator can't immediately come up with
a page, so it uses vmscan to find something to discard
(try_to_free_pages()).
(6) vmscan finds a clean netfs page it might be able to discard (possibly the
one it's trying to write out).
(7) The netfs is called to throw the page away (nfs_release_page()) - but it's
called with __GFP_WAIT, so the netfs decides to wait for the store to
complete (__fscache_wait_on_page_write()).
(8) This blocks a slow-work processing thread - possibly against itself.
The system ends up stuck because it can't write out any netfs pages to the
cache without allocating more memory.
To avoid this, we make FS-Cache cancel some writes that aren't in the middle of
actually being performed. This means that some data won't make it into the
cache this time. To support this, a new FS-Cache function is added
fscache_maybe_release_page() that replaces what the netfs releasepage()
functions used to do with respect to the cache.
The decisions fscache_maybe_release_page() makes are counted and displayed
through /proc/fs/fscache/stats on a line labelled "VmScan". There are four
counters provided: "nos=N" - pages that weren't pending storage; "gon=N" -
pages that were pending storage when we first looked, but weren't by the time
we got the object lock; "bsy=N" - pages that we ignored as they were actively
being written when we looked; and "can=N" - pages that we cancelled the storage
of.
What I'd really like to do is alter the behaviour of the cancellation
heuristics, depending on how necessary it is to expel pages. If there are
plenty of other pages that aren't waiting to be written to the cache that
could be ejected first, then it would be nice to hold up on immediate
cancellation of cache writes - but I don't see a way of doing that.

Implement the data I/O part of the FS-Cache netfs API. The documentation and
API header file were added in a previous patch.
This patch implements the following functions for the netfs to call:
(*) fscache_attr_changed().
Indicate that the object has changed its attributes. The only attribute
currently recorded is the file size. Only pages within the set file size
will be stored in the cache.
This operation is submitted for asynchronous processing, and will return
immediately. It will return -ENOMEM if an out of memory error is
encountered, -ENOBUFS if the object is not actually cached, or 0 if the
operation is successfully queued.
(*) fscache_read_or_alloc_page().
(*) fscache_read_or_alloc_pages().
Request data be fetched from the disk, and allocate internal metadata to
track the netfs pages and reserve disk space for unknown pages.
These operations perform semi-asynchronous data reads. Upon returning
they will indicate which pages they think can be retrieved from disk, and
will have set in progress attempts to retrieve those pages.
These will return, in order of preference, -ENOMEM on memory allocation
error, -ERESTARTSYS if a signal interrupted proceedings, -ENODATA if one
or more requested pages are not yet cached, -ENOBUFS if the object is not
actually cached or if there isn't space for future pages to be cached on
this object, or 0 if successful.
In the case of the multipage function, the pages for which reads are set
in progress will be removed from the list and the page count decreased
appropriately.
If any read operations should fail, the completion function will be given
an error, and will also be passed contextual information to allow the
netfs to fall back to querying the server for the absent pages.
For each successful read, the page completion function will also be
called.
Any pages subsequently tracked by the cache will have PG_fscache set upon
them on return. fscache_uncache_page() must be called for such pages.
If supplied by the netfs, the mark_pages_cached() cookie op will be
invoked for any pages now tracked.
(*) fscache_alloc_page().
Allocate internal metadata to track a netfs page and reserve disk space.
This will return -ENOMEM on memory allocation error, -ERESTARTSYS on
signal, -ENOBUFS if the object isn't cached, or there isn't enough space
in the cache, or 0 if successful.
Any pages subsequently tracked by the cache will have PG_fscache set upon
them on return. fscache_uncache_page() must be called for such pages.
If supplied by the netfs, the mark_pages_cached() cookie op will be
invoked for any pages now tracked.
(*) fscache_write_page().
Request data be stored to disk. This may only be called on pages that
have been read or alloc'd by the above three functions and have not yet
been uncached.
This will return -ENOMEM on memory allocation error, -ERESTARTSYS on
signal, -ENOBUFS if the object isn't cached, or there isn't immediately
enough space in the cache, or 0 if successful.
On a successful return, this operation will have queued the page for
asynchronous writing to the cache. The page will be returned with
PG_fscache_write set until the write completes one way or another. The
caller will not be notified if the write fails due to an I/O error. If
that happens, the object will become available and all pending writes will
be aborted.
Note that the cache may batch up page writes, and so it may take a while
to get around to writing them out.
The caller must assume that until PG_fscache_write is cleared the page is
use by the cache. Any changes made to the page may be reflected on disk.
The page may even be under DMA.
(*) fscache_uncache_page().
Indicate that the cache should stop tracking a page previously read or
alloc'd from the cache. If the page was alloc'd only, but unwritten, it
will not appear on disk.

Implement the cookie management part of the FS-Cache netfs client API. The
documentation and API header file were added in a previous patch.
This patch implements the following three functions:
(1) fscache_acquire_cookie().
Acquire a cookie to represent an object to the netfs. If the object in
question is a non-index object, then that object and its parent indices
will be created on disk at this point if they don't already exist. Index
creation is deferred because an index may reside in multiple caches.
(2) fscache_relinquish_cookie().
Retire or release a cookie previously acquired. At this point, the
object on disk may be destroyed.
(3) fscache_update_cookie().
Update the in-cache representation of a cookie. This is used to update
the auxiliary data for coherency management purposes.
With this patch it is possible to have a netfs instruct a cache backend to
look up, validate and create metadata on disk and to destroy it again.
The ability to actually store and retrieve data in the objects so created is
added in later patches.
Note that these functions will never return an error. _All_ errors are
handled internally to FS-Cache.
The worst that can happen is that fscache_acquire_cookie() may return a NULL
pointer - which is considered a negative cookie pointer and can be passed back
to any function that takes a cookie without harm. A negative cookie pointer
merely suppresses caching at that level.
The stub in linux/fscache.h will detect inline the negative cookie pointer and
abort the operation as fast as possible. This means that the compiler doesn't
have to set up for a call in that case.
See the documentation in Documentation/filesystems/caching/netfs-api.txt for
more information.
