[PATCH 1/8] FS-Cache: Add interface to check consistency of a cachedobject

From: David Howells
Date: Thu Sep 05 2013 - 18:21:17 EST


Extend the fscache netfs API so that the netfs can ask as to whether a cache
object is up to date with respect to its corresponding netfs object:

int fscache_check_consistency(struct fscache_cookie *cookie)

This will call back to the netfs to check whether the auxiliary data associated
with a cookie is correct. It returns 0 if it is and -ESTALE if it isn't; it
may also return -ENOMEM and -ERESTARTSYS.

The backends now have to implement a mandatory operation pointer:

int (*check_consistency)(struct fscache_object *object)

that corresponds to the above API call. FS-Cache takes care of pinning the
object and the cookie in memory and managing this call with respect to the
object state.

+To find out whether auxiliary data for an object is up to data within the
+cache, the following function can be called:
+
+ int fscache_check_consistency(struct fscache_cookie *cookie)
+
+This will call back to the netfs to check whether the auxiliary data associated

+may also return -ENOMEM and -ERESTARTSYS.

To request an update of the index data for an index or other object, the
following function should be called:
