Subject: [PATCH 00/17] Fix assorted FS-Cache problems
Following the mail is a series of patches to fix a number of FS-Cache problems,
including a number of oopses. The patches can also be found at:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fscache.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/fixes
The patches are as follows:
(*) A patch to correctly mark cached netfs pages. This fixes an oops that
shows up in the page allocator with PG_private_2 still being set on pages.
(*) A patch to downgrade memory allocation levels in the cache to not try so
hard and to be more willing to abort with ENOMEM. It's a cache - it
doesn't matter if we can't store something.
(*) A patch to check that there are no read operations outstanding on a
cookie when it is relinquished.
(*) A patch to make conditional some debugging prints.
(*) A patch to make cookie relinquishment log a warning and wait for any
outstanding reads.
(*) A patch to fix up operation state handling and accounting. This fixes a
BUG in __fscache_relinquish_cookie() that occurs when cache operation
completion gets out of sync with the netfs releasing a cookie back to
fscache.
(*) Four patches to provide proper invalidation facilities so that the netfs
can request a cache object be invalidated rather than retiring the cookie
it has and then getting a new one.
The first patch provides the hooks and management in the FS-Cache module.
The second patch splits do_sys_truncate() to create a vfs_truncate() for
cachefiles's invalidation to call.
The third patch makes cachefiles honour invalidation requests.
The fourth patch makes NFS use the invalidation call.
These fix a BUG() in __fscache_read_or_alloc_pages() that occurs when an
object that has operations outstanding on it gets its cookie removed.
(*) Add some missing calls to note completion of retrieval operations in
cachefiles. These cause an assertion failure BUG in
fscache_put_operation() when it tries to destroy an operation that is
still live.
(*) Three patches to clean up object event IDs in FS-Cache and to stop masking
off bits that needn't be masked off.
(*) A patch to limit the number of I/O errors reported on a cache to 1. This
prevents a lot of noise being generated from a busy cache when it is
aborted.
(*) A patch to handle an unexpected state in exclusive op submission in
FS-Cache. This fixes a BUG that occurs in fscache_submit_exclusive_op()
if it sees the cache in an aborted state due to an I/O error having
occurred.
(*) A patch to make nfs_migrate_page() wait for FS-Cache to finish with a
page. This fixes a bad page state BUG in the memory allocator due to NFS
trying to migrate a page that FS-Cache is doing stuff to.
