[091/107] FS-Cache: Add a helper to bulk uncache pages on an inode

2.6.39-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit c902ce1bfb40d8b049bd2319b388b4b68b04bc27 upstream.

Add an FS-Cache helper to bulk uncache pages on an inode. This will
only work for the circumstance where the pages in the cache correspond
1:1 with the pages attached to an inode's page cache.

This is required for CIFS and NFS: When disabling inode cookie, we were
returning the cookie and setting cifsi->fscache to NULL but failed to
invalidate any previously mapped pages. This resulted in "Bad page
state" errors and manifested in other kind of errors when running
fsstress. Fix it by uncaching mapped pages when we disable the inode
cookie.

This patch should fix the following oops and "Bad page state" errors
seen during fsstress testing.

I tested the uncaching by the following means:

(1) Create a big file on my NFS server (104857600 bytes).

(2) Read the file into the cache with md5sum on the NFS client. Look in
/proc/fs/fscache/stats:

Pages : mrk=25601 unc=0

(3) Open the file for read/write ("bash 5<>/warthog/bigfile"). Look in proc
again:

Pages : mrk=25601 unc=25601

+BULK INODE PAGE UNCACHE
+-----------------------
+
+A convenience routine is provided to perform an uncache on all the pages
+attached to an inode. This assumes that the pages on the inode correspond on a
+1:1 basis with the pages in the cache.
+
+ void fscache_uncache_all_inode_pages(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
+ struct inode *inode);
+
+This takes the netfs cookie that the pages were cached with and the inode that
+the pages are attached to. This function will wait for pages to finish being
+written to the cache and for the cache to finish with the page generally. No
+error is returned.
