    fscache: Clear outstanding writes when disabling a cookie · 6bdded59
    David Howells authored
    fscache_disable_cookie() needs to clear the outstanding writes on the
    cookie it's disabling because they cannot be completed after.
    
    Without this, fscache_nfs_open_file() gets stuck because it disables the
    cookie when the file is opened for writing but can't uncache the pages till
    afterwards - otherwise there's a race between the open routine and anyone
    who already has it open R/O and is still reading from it.
    
    Looking in /proc/pid/stack of the offending process shows:
