ef778e7ae6 FS-Cache: Provide proper invalidation
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.

9f10523f89 FS-Cache: Fix operation state management and accounting
Fix the state management of internal fscache operations and the accounting of
what operations are in what states.

This is done by:

 (1) Give struct fscache_operation a enum variable that directly represents the
     state it's currently in, rather than spreading this knowledge over a bunch
     of flags, who's processing the operation at the moment and whether it is
     queued or not.

     This makes it easier to write assertions to check the state at various
     points and to prevent invalid state transitions.

 (2) Add an 'operation complete' state and supply a function to indicate the
     completion of an operation (fscache_op_complete()) and make things call
     it.  The final call to fscache_put_operation() can then check that an op
     in the appropriate state (complete or cancelled).

 (3) Adjust the use of object->n_ops, ->n_in_progress, ->n_exclusive to better
     govern the state of an object:

	(a) The ->n_ops is now the number of extant operations on the object
	    and is now decremented by fscache_put_operation() only.

	(b) The ->n_in_progress is simply the number of objects that have been
	    taken off of the object's pending queue for the purposes of being
	    run.  This is decremented by fscache_op_complete() only.

	(c) The ->n_exclusive is the number of exclusive ops that have been
	    submitted and queued or are in progress.  It is decremented by
	    fscache_op_complete() and by fscache_cancel_op().

     fscache_put_operation() and fscache_operation_gc() now no longer try to
     clean up ->n_exclusive and ->n_in_progress.  That was leading to double
     decrements against fscache_cancel_op().

     fscache_cancel_op() now no longer decrements ->n_ops.  That was leading to
     double decrements against fscache_put_operation().

     fscache_submit_exclusive_op() now decides whether it has to queue an op
     based on ->n_in_progress being > 0 rather than ->n_ops > 0 as the latter
     will persist in being true even after all preceding operations have been
     cancelled or completed.  Furthermore, if an object is active and there are
     runnable ops against it, there must be at least one op running.

 (4) Add a remaining-pages counter (n_pages) to struct fscache_retrieval and
     provide a function to record completion of the pages as they complete.

     When n_pages reaches 0, the operation is deemed to be complete and
     fscache_op_complete() is called.

     Add calls to fscache_retrieval_complete() anywhere we've finished with a
     page we've been given to read or allocate for.  This includes places where
     we just return pages to the netfs for reading from the server and where
     accessing the cache fails and we discard the proposed netfs page.

The bugs in the unfixed state management manifest themselves as oopses like the
following where the operation completion gets out of sync with return of the
cookie by the netfs.  This is possible because the cache unlocks and returns
all the netfs pages before recording its completion - which means that there's
nothing to stop the netfs discarding them and returning the cookie.

7394daa8c6 FS-Cache: Add use of /proc and presentation of statistics
Make FS-Cache create its /proc interface and present various statistical
information through it.  Also provide the functions for updating this
information.

These features are enabled by:

	CONFIG_FSCACHE_PROC
	CONFIG_FSCACHE_STATS
	CONFIG_FSCACHE_HISTOGRAM

The /proc directory for FS-Cache is also exported so that caching modules can
add their own statistics there too.

The FS-Cache module is loadable at this point, and the statistics files can be
examined by userspace:

	cat /proc/fs/fscache/stats
	cat /proc/fs/fscache/histogram

0dfc41d1ef FS-Cache: Add the FS-Cache cache backend API and documentation
Add the API for a generic facility (FS-Cache) by which caches may declare them
selves open for business, and may obtain work to be done from network
filesystems.  The header file is included by:

	#include <linux/fscache-cache.h>

Documentation for the API is also added to:

	Documentation/filesystems/caching/backend-api.txt

This API is not usable without the implementation of the utility functions
which will be added in further patches.
