Merge tag 'fscache-fixes-20180725' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs

Pull fscache/cachefiles fixes from David Howells:

 - Allow cancelled operations to be queued so they can be cleaned up.

 - Fix a refcounting bug in the monitoring of reads on backend files
   whereby a race can occur between monitor objects being listed for
   work, the work processing being queued and the work processor running
   and destroying the monitor objects.

 - Fix a ref overput in object attachment, whereby a tentatively
   considered object is put in error handling without first being 'got'.

 - Fix a missing clear of the CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE flag whereby an
   assertion occurs when we retry because it seems the object is now
   active.

 - Wait rather BUG'ing on an object collision in the depths of
   cachefiles as the active object should be being cleaned up - also
   depends on the one above.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
