Subject: [PATCH 2/2] fscache: Clear outstanding writes when disabling a
 cookie

fscache_disable_cookie() needs to clear the outstanding writes on the
cookie it's disabling because they cannot be completed after.

Without this, fscache_nfs_open_file() gets stuck because it disables the
cookie when the file is opened for writing but can't uncache the pages till
afterwards - otherwise there's a race between the open routine and anyone
who already has it open R/O and is still reading from it.

Looking in /proc/pid/stack of the offending process shows:

[<ffffffffa0142883>] __fscache_wait_on_page_write+0x82/0x9b [fscache]
[<ffffffffa014336e>] __fscache_uncache_all_inode_pages+0x91/0xe1 [fscache]
