Subject: [PATCH 0/8] Fix assorted FS-Cache issues



Following this mail is a series of patches to fix a number of FS-Cache issues,
including a number of oopses.  The patches can also be found at:

	http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/log/?h=fscache

The patches are as follows:

 (1) Don't put spin_lock() in a while-condition as spin_lock() may be wrapped
     with do {} while(0) (cleanup).

 (2) Name i_mutex lock classes rather than using numbers in CacheFiles (cleanup).

 (3) Don't sleep in page release if __GFP_FS is not set (deadlock vs ext4).

 (4) Uninline fscache_object_init() (cleanup).

 (5) Wrap checks on object state (cleanup).

 (6) Provide a system wait_on_atomic_t() and wake_up_atomic_t() (enhancement).

 (7) Simplify the object state machine (need #4 and #5).

 (8) Simplify cookie retention by objects (oops fix, need #6 and #7).
