<title>fscache: Maintain a catalogue of allocated cookies</title>

<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.

<title>fscache: Pass object size in rather than calling back for it</title>

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>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.

<title>fscache: Fix hanging wait on page discarded by writeback</title>

If the fscache asynchronous write operation elects to discard a page that's
pending storage to the cache because the page would be over the store limit
then it needs to wake the page as someone may be waiting on completion of
the write.

The problem is that the store limit may be updated by a different
asynchronous operation - and so may miss the write - and that the store
limit may not even get updated until later by the netfs.

Fix the kernel hang by making fscache_write_op() mark as written any pages
that are over the limit.

 (1) fscache_n_op_requeue is never used, so get rid of it.

 (2) cachefiles_uncache_page() is passed in a lock that it releases, so
     this needs annotating.
