While we do want to protect against multiple concurrent readers and writers on each upcall/downcall pipe, we don't want to limit concurrent reading and writing to separate caches. This patch therefore replaces the static buffer 'write_buf', which can only be used by one writer at a time, with use of the page cache as the temporary buffer for downcalls. We still fall back to using the the old global buffer if the downcall is larger than PAGE_CACHE_SIZE, since this is apparently needed by the SPKM security context initialisation. It then replaces the use of the global 'queue_io_mutex' with the inode->i_mutex in cache_read() and cache_write(). Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
