Conventions are what people agree they are.
Anyway, I've attached a revised page flags patch if you can take a quick look
over that.
I'll drop the AFS-caching and AFS-write-fix patches for the moment and
concentrate on trying to get FS-Cache working with NFS.
So if we can agree on the two(?) things you brought up with the remaining
patches:
(1) Make PG_fscache overload PG_private_2 rather than PG_owner_priv_2. Would
that make you happy with patch 10 of 28?
(2) Then there's patch 9 of 28 - making read_cache_pages() release private
data that's already attached to pages it then discards due to error. Are
you still going to require that I duplicate read_cache_pages()? Or can
you accept that sharing is sufficient, especially if PG_private_2 now
exists?

FS-Cache: Recruit a couple of page flags for cache management
From: David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com>
Recruit a couple of page flags to aid in cache management. The following extra
flags are defined:
(1) PG_fscache (PG_private_2)
The marked page is backed by a local cache and is pinning resources in the
cache driver.
(2) PG_fscache_write (PG_owner_priv_2)
The marked page is being written to the local cache. The page may not be
modified whilst this is in progress.
If PG_fscache is set, then things that checked for PG_private will now also
check for that. This includes things like truncation and page invalidation.
The function page_has_private() had been added to make the checks for both
PG_private and PG_private_2 at the same time.
Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com>
