Merge tag 'fscache-fixes-20181130' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs

Pull fscache and cachefiles fixes from David Howells:
 "Misc fixes:

   - Fix an assertion failure at fs/cachefiles/xattr.c:138 caused by a
     race between a cache object lookup failing and someone attempting
     to reenable that object, thereby triggering an update of the
     object's attributes.

   - Fix an assertion failure at fs/fscache/operation.c:449 caused by a
     split atomic subtract and atomic read that allows a race to happen.

   - Fix a leak of backing pages when simultaneously reading the same
     page from the same object from two or more threads.

   - Fix a hang due to a race between a cache object being discarded and
     the corresponding cookie being reenabled.

  There are also some minor cleanups:

   - Cast an enum value to a different enum type to prevent clang from
     generating a warning. This shouldn't cause any sort of change in
     the emitted code.

   - Use ktime_get_real_seconds() instead of get_seconds(). This is just
     used to uniquify a filename for an object to be placed in the
     graveyard. Objects placed there are deleted by cachfilesd in
     userspace immediately thereafter.

   - Remove an initialised, but otherwise unused variable. This should
     have been entirely optimised away anyway"

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
