Merge tag 'fscache-next-20180406' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs Pull fscache updates from David Howells: "Three patches that fix some of AFS's usage of fscache: (1) Need to invalidate the cache if a foreign data change is detected on the server. (2) Move the vnode ID uniquifier (equivalent to i_generation) from the auxiliary data to the index key to prevent a race between file delete and a subsequent file create seeing the same index key. (3) Need to retire cookies that correspond to files that we think got deleted on the server. Four patches to fix some things in fscache and cachefiles: (4) Fix a couple of checker warnings. (5) Correctly indicate to the end-of-operation callback whether an operation completed or was cancelled. (6) Add a check for multiple cookie relinquishment. (7) Fix a path through the asynchronous write that doesn't wake up a waiter for a page if the cache decides not to write that page, but discards it instead. A couple of patches to add tracepoints to fscache and cachefiles: (8) Add tracepoints for cookie operators, object state machine execution, cachefiles object management and cachefiles VFS operations. (9) Add tracepoints for fscache operation management and page wrangling. And then three development patches: (10) Attach the index key and auxiliary data to the cookie, pass this information through various fscache-netfs API functions and get rid of the callbacks to the netfs to get it. This means that the cache can get at this information, even if the netfs goes away. It also means that the cache can be lazy in updating the coherency data. (11) Pass the object data size through various fscache-netfs API rather than calling back to the netfs for it, and store the value in the object. This makes it easier to correctly resize the object, as the size is updated on writes to the cache, rather than calling back out to the netfs. (12) Maintain a catalogue of allocated cookies. This makes it possible to catch cookie collision up front rather than down in the bowels of the cache being run from a service thread from the object state machine. This will also make it possible in the future to reconnect to a cookie that's not gone dead yet because it's waiting for finalisation of the storage and also make it possible to bring cookies online if the cache is added after the cookie has been obtained" * tag 'fscache-next-20180406' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs: fscache: Maintain a catalogue of allocated cookies fscache: Pass object size in rather than calling back for it fscache: Attach the index key and aux data to the cookie fscache: Add more tracepoints fscache: Add tracepoints fscache: Fix hanging wait on page discarded by writeback fscache: Detect multiple relinquishment of a cookie fscache: Pass the correct cancelled indications to fscache_op_complete() fscache, cachefiles: Fix checker warnings afs: Be more aggressive in retiring cached vnodes afs: Use the vnode ID uniquifier in the cache key not the aux data afs: Invalidate cache on server data change
