Add functions to the fscache API to allow data file cookies to be acquired
and relinquished by the network filesystem. It is intended that the
filesystem will create such cookies per-inode under a volume.
To request a cookie, the filesystem should call:
struct fscache_cookie *
fscache_acquire_cookie(struct fscache_volume *volume,
u8 advice,
const void *index_key,
size_t index_key_len,
const void *aux_data,
size_t aux_data_len,
loff_t object_size)
The filesystem must first have created a volume cookie, which is passed in
here. If it passes in NULL then the function will just return a NULL
cookie.
A binary key should be passed in index_key and is of size index_key_len.
This is saved in the cookie and is used to locate the associated data in
the cache.
A coherency data buffer of size aux_data_len will be allocated and
initialised from the buffer pointed to by aux_data. This is used to
validate cache objects when they're opened and is stored on disk with them
when they're committed. The data is stored in the cookie and will be
updateable by various functions in later patches.
The object_size must also be given. This is also used to perform a
coherency check and to size the backing storage appropriately.
This function disallows a cookie from being acquired twice in parallel,
though it will cause the second user to wait if the first is busy
relinquishing its cookie.
When a network filesystem has finished with a cookie, it should call:
void
fscache_relinquish_cookie(struct fscache_volume *volume,
bool retire)
If retire is true, any backing data will be discarded immediately.
Changes
=======
ver #3:
- fscache_hash()'s size parameter is now in bytes. Use __le32 as the unit
to round up to.
- When comparing cookies, simply see if the attributes are the same rather
than subtracting them to produce a strcmp-style return[1].
- Add a check to see if the cookie is still hashed at the point of
freeing.
ver #2:
- Don't hold n_accesses elevated whilst cache is bound to a cookie, but
rather add a flag that prevents the state machine from being queued when
n_accesses reaches 0.
- Remove the unused cookie pointer field from the fscache_acquire
tracepoint.

Add functions to the fscache API to allow volumes to be acquired and
relinquished by the network filesystem. A volume is an index of data
storage cache objects. A volume is represented by a volume cookie in the
API. A filesystem would typically create a volume for a superblock and
then create per-inode cookies within it.
To request a volume, the filesystem calls:
struct fscache_volume *
fscache_acquire_volume(const char *volume_key,
const char *cache_name,
const void *coherency_data,
size_t coherency_len)
The volume_key is a printable string used to match the volume in the cache.
It should not contain any '/' characters. For AFS, for example, this would
be "afs,<cellname>,<volume_id>", e.g. "afs,example.com,523001".
The cache_name can be NULL, but if not it should be a string indicating the
name of the cache to use if there's more than one available.
The coherency data, if given, is an arbitrarily-sized blob that's attached
to the volume and is compared when the volume is looked up. If it doesn't
match, the old volume is judged to be out of date and it and everything
within it is discarded.
Acquiring a volume twice concurrently is disallowed, though the function
will wait if an old volume cookie is being relinquishing.
When a network filesystem has finished with a volume, it should return the
volume cookie by calling:
void
fscache_relinquish_volume(struct fscache_volume *volume,
const void *coherency_data,
bool invalidate)
If invalidate is true, the entire volume will be discarded; if false, the
volume will be synced and the coherency data will be updated.
Changes
=======
ver #4:
- Removed an extraneous param from kdoc on fscache_relinquish_volume()[3].
ver #3:
- fscache_hash()'s size parameter is now in bytes. Use __le32 as the unit
to round up to.
- When comparing cookies, simply see if the attributes are the same rather
than subtracting them to produce a strcmp-style return[2].
- Make the coherency data an arbitrary blob rather than a u64, but don't
store it for the moment.
ver #2:
- Fix error check[1].
- Make a fscache_acquire_volume() return errors, including EBUSY if a
conflicting volume cookie already exists. No error is printed now -
that's left to the netfs.

Allow the current state of all fscache objects to be dumped by doing:
cat /proc/fs/fscache/objects
By default, all objects and all fields will be shown. This can be restricted
by adding a suitable key to one of the caller's keyrings (such as the session
keyring):
keyctl add user fscache:objlist "<restrictions>" @s
The <restrictions> are:
K Show hexdump of object key (don't show if not given)
A Show hexdump of object aux data (don't show if not given)
And paired restrictions:
C Show objects that have a cookie
c Show objects that don't have a cookie
B Show objects that are busy
b Show objects that aren't busy
W Show objects that have pending writes
w Show objects that don't have pending writes
R Show objects that have outstanding reads
r Show objects that don't have outstanding reads
S Show objects that have slow work queued
s Show objects that don't have slow work queued
If neither side of a restriction pair is given, then both are implied. For
example:
keyctl add user fscache:objlist KB @s
shows objects that are busy, and lists their object keys, but does not dump
their auxiliary data. It also implies "CcWwRrSs", but as 'B' is given, 'b' is
not implied.

Make FS-Cache create its /proc interface and present various statistical
information through it. Also provide the functions for updating this
information.
These features are enabled by:
CONFIG_FSCACHE_PROC
CONFIG_FSCACHE_STATS
CONFIG_FSCACHE_HISTOGRAM
The /proc directory for FS-Cache is also exported so that caching modules can
add their own statistics there too.
The FS-Cache module is loadable at this point, and the statistics files can be
examined by userspace:
cat /proc/fs/fscache/stats
cat /proc/fs/fscache/histogram
