Subject: [PATCH 0/5] cachefiles, nfs: Fixes


Hi Linus, Trond, Anna,

Can you pull these fixes for cachefiles and NFS's use of fscache?  Should
they go through the NFS tree or directly upstream?  The things fixed are:

 (1) The reorganisation of bmap() use accidentally caused the return value
     of cachefiles_read_or_alloc_pages() to get corrupted.

 (2) The NFS superblock index key accidentally got changed to include a
     number of kernel pointers - meaning that the key isn't matchable after
     a reboot.

 (3) A redundant check in nfs_fscache_get_super_cookie().

 (4) The NFS change_attr sometimes set in the auxiliary data for the
     caching of an file and sometimes not, which causes the cache to get
     discarded when it shouldn't.

 (5) There's a race between cachefiles_read_waiter() and
     cachefiles_read_copier() that causes an occasional assertion failure.

The patches are tagged here:

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git
	tag fscache-fixes-20200508-2

Thanks,
David
