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.
(4) The cachefiles requirement that the base directory support rename should permit rename2 as an alternative - otherwise certain filesystems cannot now be used as backing stores (such as ext4).
I've fixed a bug in "FS-Cache: refcount becomes corrupt under vma pressure." whereby fscache_unuse_cookie() was being passed a cookie rather than an object pointing to that cookie.
Thanks, David --- The following changes since commit 68e370289c29e3beac99d59c6d840d470af9dfcf:
