[GIT PULL] Fixes for FS-Cache/CacheFiles

From: David Howells
Date: Wed Sep 17 2014 - 11:13:28 EST


Hi Linus,

Could you pull these fixes for FS-Cache and Cachefiles:

(1) Put a timeout in releasepage() to deal with a recursive hang between the
memory allocator, writeback, ext4 and fscache under memory pressure.

(2) Fix a pair of refcount bugs in the fscache error handling.

(3) Remove a couple of unused pagevecs. This could be punted to -next if
you'd rather.

Thanks,
David
