Subject: [GIT PULL] Fixes for FS-Cache/CacheFiles [try #2]
Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2014 10:51:14 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5932.1411379474@warthog.procyon.org.uk> (raw)

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
