I'm writing a networked filesystem which reads data in 2MB blocks from
remote database. However read requests from the kernel come in much
smaller sizes - for example 4K-128K.

Since it would be very slow to refetch the 2MB block for e.g. every
consecutive 4K reads, a cache for fetched data is needed. A custom cache
would do, however since the kernel already implements pagecache to cache
file data, it is logical to use it directly.

FUSE protocol provides primitives for pagecache control. We already have
support for e.g. invalidating a data region for inode (InodeNotify), but
there is more there. In particular it is possible to store and
retrieve data into/from the kernel cache with "store notify" and
"retrieve notify" messages:

This patch adds support for "store notify". Adding support for "retrieve
notify" might be added later since a) it is not needed right now, and b)
supporting it is a bit more work since the kernel sends a separate reply
with data and infrastructure has to be added to glue it back to original
"retrieve notify" server-originated request.

For user-visible API I decided not to duplicate FUSE-protocol naming
1-1 and to be more explicit in names - emphasizing it is about cache
control - it is e.g. InodeNotifyStoreCache instead of
InodeNotifyStore, and for retrieving it (hopefully) should be just
InodeRetrieveCache instead of InodeNotifyRetrieveCache and a
separate callback.

Thanks beforehand,
