cifs: Support fscache indexing rewrite
Change the cifs filesystem to take account of the changes to fscache's
indexing rewrite and reenable caching in cifs.
The following changes have been made:
(1) The fscache_netfs struct is no more, and there's no need to register
the filesystem as a whole.
(2) The session cookie is now an fscache_volume cookie, allocated with
fscache_acquire_volume(). That takes three parameters: a string
representing the "volume" in the index, a string naming the cache to
use (or NULL) and a u64 that conveys coherency metadata for the
volume.
For cifs, I've made it render the volume name string as:
"cifs,<ipaddress>,<sharename>"
where the sharename has '/' characters replaced with ';'.
This probably needs rethinking a bit as the total name could exceed
the maximum filename component length.
Further, the coherency data is currently just set to 0. It needs
something else doing with it - I wonder if it would suffice simply to
sum the resource_id, vol_create_time and vol_serial_number or maybe
hash them.
(3) The fscache_cookie_def is no more and needed information is passed
directly to fscache_acquire_cookie(). The cache no longer calls back
into the filesystem, but rather metadata changes are indicated at
other times.
fscache_acquire_cookie() is passed the same keying and coherency
information as before.
(4) The functions to set/reset cookies are removed and
fscache_use_cookie() and fscache_unuse_cookie() are used instead.
fscache_use_cookie() is passed a flag to indicate if the cookie is
opened for writing. fscache_unuse_cookie() is passed updates for the
metadata if we changed it (ie. if the file was opened for writing).
These are called when the file is opened or closed.
(5) cifs_setattr_*() are made to call fscache_resize() to change the size
of the cache object.
(6) The functions to read and write data are stubbed out pending a
conversion to use netfslib.
Changes
=======
ver #8:
- Abstract cache invalidation into a helper function.
- Fix some checkpatch warnings[3].
ver #7:
- Removed the accidentally added-back call to get the super cookie in
cifs_root_iget().
- Fixed the right call to cifs_fscache_get_super_cookie() to take account
of the "-o fsc" mount flag.
ver #6:
- Moved the change of gfpflags_allow_blocking() to current_is_kswapd() for
cifs here.
- Fixed one of the error paths in cifs_atomic_open() to jump around the
call to use the cookie.
- Fixed an additional successful return in the middle of cifs_open() to
use the cookie on the way out.
- Only get a volume cookie (and thus inode cookies) when "-o fsc" is
supplied to mount.
ver #5:
- Fixed a couple of bits of cookie handling[2]:
- The cookie should be released in cifs_evict_inode(), not
cifsFileInfo_put_final(). The cookie needs to persist beyond file
closure so that writepages will be able to write to it.
- fscache_use_cookie() needs to be called in cifs_atomic_open() as it is
for cifs_open().
ver #4:
- Fixed the use of sizeof with memset.
- tcon->vol_create_time is __le64 so doesn't need cpu_to_le64().
ver #3:
- Canonicalise the cifs coherency data to make the cache portable.
- Set volume coherency data.
ver #2:
- Use gfpflags_allow_blocking() rather than using flag directly.
- Upgraded to -rc4 to allow for upstream changes[1].
- fscache_acquire_volume() now returns errors.
