b34df792b4 FS-Cache: Use radix tree preload correctly in tracking of pages to be stored
__fscache_write_page() attempts to load the radix tree preallocation pool for
the CPU it is on before calling radix_tree_insert(), as the insertion must be
done inside a pair of spinlocks.

Use of the preallocation pool, however, is contingent on the radix tree being
initialised without __GFP_WAIT specified.  __fscache_acquire_cookie() was
passing GFP_NOFS to INIT_RADIX_TREE() - but that includes __GFP_WAIT.

The solution is to AND out __GFP_WAIT.

Additionally, the banner comment to radix_tree_preload() is altered to make
note of this prerequisite.  Possibly there should be a WARN_ON() too.

Without this fix, I have seen the following recursive deadlock caused by
radix_tree_insert() attempting to allocate memory inside the spinlocked
region, which resulted in FS-Cache being called back into to release memory -
which required the spinlock already held.

7e311a207d FS-Cache: Clear netfs pointers in cookie after detaching object, not before
Clear the pointers from the fscache_cookie struct to netfs private data after
clearing the pointer to the cookie from the fscache_object struct and
releasing the object lock, rather than before.

This allows the netfs private data pointers to be relied on simply by holding
the object lock, rather than having to hold the cookie lock.  This is makes
things simpler as the cookie lock has to be taken before the object lock, but
sometimes the object pointer is all that the code has.

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.

ccc4fc3d11 FS-Cache: Implement the cookie management part of the netfs API
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.

955d00917f FS-Cache: Provide a slab for cookie allocation

presented to the netfs.

Also provide a slab constructor and a function to recursively discard a cookie
and its ancestor chain.
