<content type='text'>
commit 85e4ea1049c70fb99de5c6057e835d151fb647da upstream.

If an NFS file is opened for writing and closed, fscache_invalidate() will
be asked to invalidate the file - however, if the cookie is in the
LOOKING_UP state (or the CREATING state), then request to invalidate
doesn't get recorded for fscache_cookie_state_machine() to do something
with.

Fix this by making __fscache_invalidate() set a flag if it sees the cookie
is in the LOOKING_UP state to indicate that we need to go to invalidation.
Note that this requires a count on the n_accesses counter for the state
machine, which that will release when it's done.

fscache_cookie_state_machine() then shifts to the INVALIDATING state if it
sees the flag.

Without this, an nfs file can get corrupted if it gets modified locally and
then read locally as the cache contents may not get updated.

fscache_cookies_seq_ops is only used in proc.c that is compiled under

same case exsits in internal.h.

Also, make fscache_lru_cookie_timeout static due to no user outside

Add a function to invalidate the cache behind a cookie:

	void fscache_invalidate(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
				const void *aux_data,
				loff_t size,
				unsigned int flags)

This causes any cached data for the specified cookie to be discarded.  If
the cookie is marked as being in use, a new cache object will be created if
possible and future I/O will use that instead.  In-flight I/O should be
abandoned (writes) or reconsidered (reads).  Each time it is called
cookie-&gt;inval_counter is incremented and this can be used to detect
invalidation at the end of an I/O operation.

The coherency data attached to the cookie can be updated and the cookie
size should be reset.  One flag is available, FSCACHE_INVAL_DIO_WRITE,
which should be used to indicate invalidation due to a DIO write on a
file.  This will temporarily disable caching for this cookie.

Changes
=======
ver #2:
 - Should only change to inval state if can get access to cache.

<title>fscache: Implement cookie user counting and resource pinning</title>

<id>urn:sha1:12bb21a29c19aae50cfad4e2bb5c943108f34a7d</id>
<content type='text'>
Provide a pair of functions to count the number of users of a cookie (open
files, writeback, invalidation, resizing, reads, writes), to obtain and pin
resources for the cookie and to prevent culling for the whilst there are
users.

The first function marks a cookie as being in use:

	void fscache_use_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
				bool will_modify);

The caller should indicate the cookie to use and whether or not the caller
is in a context that may modify the cookie (e.g. a file open O_RDWR).

If the cookie is not already resourced, fscache will ask the cache backend
in the background to do whatever it needs to look up, create or otherwise
obtain the resources necessary to access data.  This is pinned to the
cookie and may not be culled, though it may be withdrawn if the cache as a
whole is withdrawn.

The second function removes the in-use mark from a cookie and, optionally,
updates the coherency data:

	void fscache_unuse_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
				  const void *aux_data,
				  const loff_t *object_size);

If non-NULL, the aux_data buffer and/or the object_size will be saved into
the cookie and will be set on the backing store when the object is
committed.

If this removes the last usage on a cookie, the cookie is placed onto an
LRU list from which it will be removed and closed after a couple of seconds
if it doesn't get reused.  This prevents resource overload in the cache -
in particular it prevents it from holding too many files open.

Changes
=======
ver #2:
 - Fix fscache_unuse_cookie() to use atomic_dec_and_lock() to avoid a
   potential race if the cookie gets reused before it completes the
   unusement.
 - Added missing transition to LRU_DISCARDING state.

<id>urn:sha1:5d00e426f95e7ea036fec2a0aceb3f71d6dbdf92</id>
<content type='text'>
Implement a very simple cookie state machine to handle lookup,
invalidation, withdrawal, relinquishment and, to be added later, commit on
LRU discard.

Three cache methods are provided: -&gt;lookup_cookie() to look up and, if
necessary, create a data storage object; -&gt;withdraw_cookie() to free the
resources associated with that object and potentially delete it; and
-&gt;prepare_to_write(), to do prepare for changes to the cached data to be
modified locally.

Changes
=======
ver #3:
 - Fix a race between LRU discard and relinquishment whereby the former
   would override the latter and thus the latter would never happen[1].

ver #2:
 - Don't hold n_accesses elevated whilst cache is bound to a cookie, but
   rather add a flag that prevents the state machine from being queued when
   n_accesses reaches 0.

<id>urn:sha1:a7733fb632722a2f085f9324f14783effe268ed3</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a number of helper functions to manage access to a cookie, pinning the
cache object in place for the duration to prevent cache withdrawal from
removing it:

 (1) void fscache_init_access_gate(struct fscache_cookie *cookie);

     This function initialises the access count when a cache binds to a
     cookie.  An extra ref is taken on the access count to prevent wakeups
     while the cache is active.  We're only interested in the wakeup when a
     cookie is being withdrawn and we're waiting for it to quiesce - at
     which point the counter will be decremented before the wait.

     The FSCACHE_COOKIE_NACC_ELEVATED flag is set on the cookie to keep
     track of the extra ref in order to handle a race between
     relinquishment and withdrawal both trying to drop the extra ref.

 (2) bool fscache_begin_cookie_access(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
				      enum fscache_access_trace why);

     This function attempts to begin access upon a cookie, pinning it in
     place if it's cached.  If successful, it returns true and leaves a the
     access count incremented.

 (3) void fscache_end_cookie_access(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
				    enum fscache_access_trace why);

     This function drops the access count obtained by (2), permitting
     object withdrawal to take place when it reaches zero.

A tracepoint is provided to track changes to the access counter on a
cookie.

Changes
=======
ver #2:
 - Don't hold n_accesses elevated whilst cache is bound to a cookie, but
   rather add a flag that prevents the state machine from being queued when
   n_accesses reaches 0.

<title>fscache: Implement cookie registration</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7f3283aba39a0f395700c3b5defa4ec49d9914b3</id>
<content type='text'>
Add functions to the fscache API to allow data file cookies to be acquired
and relinquished by the network filesystem.  It is intended that the
filesystem will create such cookies per-inode under a volume.

To request a cookie, the filesystem should call:

	struct fscache_cookie *
	fscache_acquire_cookie(struct fscache_volume *volume,
			       u8 advice,
			       const void *index_key,
			       size_t index_key_len,
			       const void *aux_data,
			       size_t aux_data_len,
			       loff_t object_size)


The filesystem must first have created a volume cookie, which is passed in
here.  If it passes in NULL then the function will just return a NULL
cookie.

A binary key should be passed in index_key and is of size index_key_len.
This is saved in the cookie and is used to locate the associated data in
the cache.

A coherency data buffer of size aux_data_len will be allocated and
initialised from the buffer pointed to by aux_data.  This is used to
validate cache objects when they're opened and is stored on disk with them
when they're committed.  The data is stored in the cookie and will be
updateable by various functions in later patches.

The object_size must also be given.  This is also used to perform a
coherency check and to size the backing storage appropriately.

This function disallows a cookie from being acquired twice in parallel,
though it will cause the second user to wait if the first is busy
relinquishing its cookie.


When a network filesystem has finished with a cookie, it should call:

	void
	fscache_relinquish_cookie(struct fscache_volume *volume,
				  bool retire)

If retire is true, any backing data will be discarded immediately.

Changes
=======
ver #3:
 - fscache_hash()'s size parameter is now in bytes.  Use __le32 as the unit
   to round up to.
 - When comparing cookies, simply see if the attributes are the same rather
   than subtracting them to produce a strcmp-style return[1].
 - Add a check to see if the cookie is still hashed at the point of
   freeing.

ver #2:
 - Don't hold n_accesses elevated whilst cache is bound to a cookie, but
   rather add a flag that prevents the state machine from being queued when
   n_accesses reaches 0.
 - Remove the unused cookie pointer field from the fscache_acquire
   tracepoint.
