285e728b0a FS-Cache: Don't delete pending pages from the page-store tracking tree
Don't delete pending pages from the page-store tracking tree, but rather send
them for another write as they've presumably been updated.

1bccf513ac FS-Cache: Fix lock misorder in fscache_write_op()
FS-Cache has two structs internally for keeping track of the internal state of
a cached file: the fscache_cookie struct, which represents the netfs's state,
and fscache_object struct, which represents the cache's state.  Each has a
pointer that points to the other (when both are in existence), and each has a
spinlock for pointer maintenance.

Since netfs operations approach these structures from the cookie side, they get
the cookie lock first, then the object lock.  Cache operations, on the other
hand, approach from the object side, and get the object lock first.  It is not
then permitted for a cache operation to get the cookie lock whilst it is
holding the object lock lest deadlock occur; instead, it must do one of two
things:

 (1) increment the cookie usage counter, drop the object lock and then get both
     locks in order, or

 (2) simply hold the object lock as certain parts of the cookie may not be
     altered whilst the object lock is held.

It is also not permitted to follow either pointer without holding the lock at
the end you start with.  To break the pointers between the cookie and the
object, both locks must be held.

fscache_write_op(), however, violates the locking rules: It attempts to get the
cookie lock without (a) checking that the cookie pointer is a valid pointer,
and (b) holding the object lock to protect the cookie pointer whilst it follows
it.  This is so that it can access the pending page store tree without
interference from __fscache_write_page().

This is fixed by splitting the cookie lock, such that the page store tracking
tree is protected by its own lock, and checking that the cookie pointer is
non-NULL before we attempt to follow it whilst holding the object lock.

The new lock is subordinate to both the cookie lock and the object lock, and so
should be taken after those.

5753c44188 FS-Cache: Permit cache retrieval ops to be interrupted in the initial wait phase
Permit the operations to retrieve data from the cache or to allocate space in
the cache for future writes to be interrupted whilst they're waiting for
permission for the operation to proceed.  Typically this wait occurs whilst the
cache object is being looked up on disk in the background.

If an interruption occurs, and the operation has not yet been given the
go-ahead to run, the operation is dequeued and cancelled, and control returns
to the read operation of the netfs routine with none of the requested pages
having been read or in any way marked as known by the cache.

This means that the initial wait is done interruptibly rather than
uninterruptibly.

In addition, extra stats values are made available to show the number of ops
cancelled and the number of cache space allocations interrupted.

52bd75fdb1 FS-Cache: Add counters for entry/exit to/from cache operation functions

these as a single counter that's added to or removed from as appropriate.

4fbf4291aa FS-Cache: Allow the current state of all objects to be dumped
Allow the current state of all fscache objects to be dumped by doing:

	cat /proc/fs/fscache/objects

By default, all objects and all fields will be shown.  This can be restricted
by adding a suitable key to one of the caller's keyrings (such as the session
keyring):

	keyctl add user fscache:objlist "<restrictions>" @s

The <restrictions> are:

	K	Show hexdump of object key (don't show if not given)
	A	Show hexdump of object aux data (don't show if not given)

And paired restrictions:

	C	Show objects that have a cookie
	c	Show objects that don't have a cookie
	B	Show objects that are busy
	b	Show objects that aren't busy
	W	Show objects that have pending writes
	w	Show objects that don't have pending writes
	R	Show objects that have outstanding reads
	r	Show objects that don't have outstanding reads
	S	Show objects that have slow work queued
	s	Show objects that don't have slow work queued

If neither side of a restriction pair is given, then both are implied.  For
example:

	keyctl add user fscache:objlist KB @s

shows objects that are busy, and lists their object keys, but does not dump
their auxiliary data.  It also implies "CcWwRrSs", but as 'B' is given, 'b' is
not implied.

include the object ID and the state.  Operations include the object ID, the
operation ID and the operation type and state.

b510882281 FS-Cache: Implement data I/O part of netfs API
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.
