mainlining shenanigans

Add a function to invalidate the cache behind a cookie: void fscache_invalidate(struct fscache_cookie *cookie, const void *aux_data, loff_t size, unsigned int flags) This causes any cached data for the specified cookie to be discarded. If the cookie is marked as being in use, a new cache object will be created if possible and future I/O will use that instead. In-flight I/O should be abandoned (writes) or reconsidered (reads). Each time it is called cookie->inval_counter is incremented and this can be used to detect invalidation at the end of an I/O operation. The coherency data attached to the cookie can be updated and the cookie size should be reset. One flag is available, FSCACHE_INVAL_DIO_WRITE, which should be used to indicate invalidation due to a DIO write on a file. This will temporarily disable caching for this cookie. Changes ======= ver #2: - Should only change to inval state if can get access to cache.

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.
