Subject[GIT PULL] Fixes for FS-Cache/CacheFiles [try #2]
Date
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
