<id>urn:sha1:7f3283aba39a0f395700c3b5defa4ec49d9914b3</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

<id>urn:sha1:62ab63352350e881ae693a8236b35d7d0516c78b</id>
<content type='text'>
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,&lt;cellname&gt;,&lt;volume_id&gt;", 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.

<id>urn:sha1:9549332df4ed4e761a1d41c83f2c25d28bb22431</id>
<content type='text'>
Implement a register of caches and provide functions to manage it.

Two functions are provided for the cache backend to use:

 (1) Acquire a cache cookie:

	struct fscache_cache *fscache_acquire_cache(const char *name)

     This gets the cache cookie for a cache of the specified name and moves
     it to the preparation state.  If a nameless cache cookie exists, that
     will be given this name and used.

 (2) Relinquish a cache cookie:

	void fscache_relinquish_cache(struct fscache_cache *cache);

     This relinquishes a cache cookie, cleans it and makes it available if
     it's still referenced by a network filesystem.

Note that network filesystems don't deal with cache cookies directly, but
rather go straight to the volume registration.

Remove the code that comprises the fscache driver as it's going to be
substantially rewritten, with the majority of the code being erased in the
rewrite.

A small piece of linux/fscache.h is left as that is #included by a bunch of
network filesystems.
