There's a function for the first part of this:

		if (!gfpflags_allow_blocking(gfp) || !(gfp & __GFP_FS))

It shouldn't really be necessary to have ceph_fscache_list since
fscache_acquire_volume() will do it's own duplicate check.  I wonder if I
should make fscache_acquire_volume() return -EEXIST or -EBUSY rather than NULL
in such a case and not print an error, but rather leave that to the filesystem
to display.

That would allow you to get rid of the ceph_fscache_entry struct also, I
think.

That doesn't exist anymore.

Might look better to say "expanding" rather than "truncating up".
