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"
