Subject: [GIT PULL] Fix assorted FS-Cache issues


Hi Linus,

Can you please pull this GIT branch?  It contains a number of fixes for
various FS-Cache issues plus some cleanups.  The commits are, in order:

 (1) Provide a system wait_on_atomic_t() and wake_up_atomic_t() sharing the
     bit-wait table (enhancement for #8).

 (2) Don't put spin_lock() in a while-condition as spin_lock() may have a
     do {} while(0) wrapper (cleanup).

 (3) Symbolically name i_mutex lock classes rather than using numbers in
     CacheFiles (cleanup).

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

 (5) Uninline fscache_object_init() (cleanup for #7).

 (6) Wrap checks on object state (cleanup for #7).

 (7) Simplify the object state machine by separating work states from wait
     states.

 (8) Simplify cookie retention by objects (NULL pointer deref fix).

 (9) Remove unused list_to_page() macro (cleanup).

(10) Make the remaining-pages counter in the retrieval op atomic (assertion
     failure fix).

(11) Don't use spin_is_locked() in assertions (assertion failure fix).

This is tagged with fscache-20130702.  This is the same as fscache-20130619
but with added acks.

Thanks,
David
