<content type='text'>
Use refcount_t for the fscache_cookie refcount instead of atomic_t and
rename the 'usage' member to 'ref' in such cases.  The tracepoints that
reference it change from showing "u=%d" to "r=%d".

<id>urn:sha1:2908f5e101e3fb1d478cff1c556966e1af816641</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a cookie debug ID and use that in traces and in procfiles rather than
displaying the (hashed) pointer to the cookie.  This is easier to correlate
and we don't lose anything when interpreting oops output since that shows
unhashed addresses and registers that aren't comparable to the hashed
values.

Changes:

ver #2:
 - Fix the fscache_op tracepoint to handle a NULL cookie pointer.

<title>fscache, cachefiles: Add alternate API to use kiocb for read/write to cache</title>
<updated>2021-04-23T09:14:32Z</updated>
<author>
<name>David Howells</name>

<published>2021-02-22T11:39:47Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=26aaeffcafe6cbb7c3978fa6ed7555122f8c9f8c'/>
<id>urn:sha1:26aaeffcafe6cbb7c3978fa6ed7555122f8c9f8c</id>
<content type='text'>
Add an alternate API by which the cache can be accessed through a kiocb,
doing async DIO, rather than using the current API that tells the cache
where all the pages are.

The new API is intended to be used in conjunction with the netfs helper
library.  A filesystem must pick one or the other and not mix them.

Filesystems wanting to use the new API must #define FSCACHE_USE_NEW_IO_API
before #including the header.  This prevents them from continuing to use
the old API at the same time as there are incompatibilities in how the
PG_fscache page bit is used.

Changes:
v6:
 - Provide a routine to shape a write so that the start and length can be
   aligned for DIO[3].

v4:
 - Use the vfs_iocb_iter_read/write() helpers[1]
 - Move initial definition of fscache_begin_read_operation() here.
 - Remove a commented-out line[2]
 - Combine ki-&gt;term_func calls in cachefiles_read_complete()[2].
 - Remove explicit NULL initialiser[2].
 - Remove extern on func decl[2].
 - Put in param names on func decl[2].
 - Remove redundant else[2].
 - Fill out the kdoc comment for fscache_begin_read_operation().
 - Rename fs/fscache/page2.c to io.c to match later patches.

Move the PG_fscache related helper funcs (such as SetPageFsCache()) to
linux/netfs.h rather than linux/fscache.h as the intention is to move to a
model where they're used by the network filesystem and the helper library,
but not by fscache/cachefiles itself.

<id>urn:sha1:ec0328e46d6e5d0f17372eb90ab8e333c2ac7ca9</id>
<content type='text'>
Maintain a catalogue of allocated cookies so that cookie collisions can be
handled properly.  For the moment, this just involves printing a warning
and returning a NULL cookie to the caller of fscache_acquire_cookie(), but
in future it might make sense to wait for the old cookie to finish being
cleaned up.

This requires the cookie key to be stored attached to the cookie so that we
still have the key available if the netfs relinquishes the cookie.  This is
done by an earlier patch.

The catalogue also renders redundant fscache_netfs_list (used for checking
for duplicates), so that can be removed.

<content type='text'>
Pass the object size in to fscache_acquire_cookie() and
fscache_write_page() rather than the netfs providing a callback by which it
can be received.  This makes it easier to update the size of the object
when a new page is written that extends the object.

The current object size is also passed by fscache to the check_aux
function, obviating the need to store it in the aux data.

<title>fscache: Attach the index key and aux data to the cookie</title>

<id>urn:sha1:402cb8dda949d9b8c0df20ad2527d139faad7ca1</id>
<content type='text'>
Attach copies of the index key and auxiliary data to the fscache cookie so
that:

 (1) The callbacks to the netfs for this stuff can be eliminated.  This
     can simplify things in the cache as the information is still
     available, even after the cache has relinquished the cookie.

 (2) Simplifies the locking requirements of accessing the information as we
     don't have to worry about the netfs object going away on us.

 (3) The cache can do lazy updating of the coherency information on disk.
     As long as the cache is flushed before reboot/poweroff, there's no
     need to update the coherency info on disk every time it changes.

 (4) Cookies can be hashed or put in a tree as the index key is easily
     available.  This allows:

     (a) Checks for duplicate cookies can be made at the top fscache layer
     	 rather than down in the bowels of the cache backend.

     (b) Caching can be added to a netfs object that has a cookie if the
     	 cache is brought online after the netfs object is allocated.

A certain amount of space is made in the cookie for inline copies of the
data, but if it won't fit there, extra memory will be allocated for it.

The downside of this is that live cache operation requires more memory.
