Add functions to the fscache API to allow data file cookies to be acquired and relinquished by the network filesystem. It is intended that the filesystem will create such cookies per-inode under a volume. To request a cookie, the filesystem should call: struct fscache_cookie * fscache_acquire_cookie(struct fscache_volume *volume, u8 advice, const void *index_key, size_t index_key_len, const void *aux_data, size_t aux_data_len, loff_t object_size) The filesystem must first have created a volume cookie, which is passed in here. If it passes in NULL then the function will just return a NULL cookie. A binary key should be passed in index_key and is of size index_key_len. This is saved in the cookie and is used to locate the associated data in the cache. A coherency data buffer of size aux_data_len will be allocated and initialised from the buffer pointed to by aux_data. This is used to validate cache objects when they're opened and is stored on disk with them when they're committed. The data is stored in the cookie and will be updateable by various functions in later patches. The object_size must also be given. This is also used to perform a coherency check and to size the backing storage appropriately. This function disallows a cookie from being acquired twice in parallel, though it will cause the second user to wait if the first is busy relinquishing its cookie. When a network filesystem has finished with a cookie, it should call: void fscache_relinquish_cookie(struct fscache_volume *volume, bool retire) If retire is true, any backing data will be discarded immediately. Changes ======= ver #3: - fscache_hash()'s size parameter is now in bytes. Use __le32 as the unit to round up to. - When comparing cookies, simply see if the attributes are the same rather than subtracting them to produce a strcmp-style return[1]. - Add a check to see if the cookie is still hashed at the point of freeing. ver #2: - Don't hold n_accesses elevated whilst cache is bound to a cookie, but rather add a flag that prevents the state machine from being queued when n_accesses reaches 0. - Remove the unused cookie pointer field from the fscache_acquire tracepoint.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
