Subject[PATCH 4.4 29/80] cachefiles: Wait rather than BUGing on "Unexpected object collision"
Date
4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kiran Kumar Modukuri <kiran.modukuri@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit c2412ac45a8f8f1cd582723c1a139608694d410d ]

If we meet a conflicting object that is marked FSCACHE_OBJECT_IS_LIVE in
the active object tree, we have been emitting a BUG after logging
information about it and the new object.

Instead, we should wait for the CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE flag to be cleared
on the old object (or return an error). The ACTIVE flag should be cleared
after it has been removed from the active object tree. A timeout of 60s is
used in the wait, so we shouldn't be able to get stuck there.

Fixes: 9ae326a69004 ("CacheFiles: A cache that backs onto a mounted filesystem")
