[PATCH 0/8] Fix assorted FS-Cache issues

From: David Howells
Date: Thu May 02 2013 - 20:33:26 EST




Following this mail is a series of patches to fix a number of FS-Cache issues,
including a number of oopses. The patches can also be found at:

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/log/?h=fscache

The patches are as follows:

(1) Don't put spin_lock() in a while-condition as spin_lock() may be wrapped
with do {} while(0) (cleanup).

(2) Name i_mutex lock classes rather than using numbers in CacheFiles (cleanup).

(3) Don't sleep in page release if __GFP_FS is not set (deadlock vs ext4).

(4) Uninline fscache_object_init() (cleanup).

(5) Wrap checks on object state (cleanup).

(6) Provide a system wait_on_atomic_t() and wake_up_atomic_t() (enhancement).

(7) Simplify the object state machine (need #4 and #5).

(8) Simplify cookie retention by objects (oops fix, need #6 and #7).
