The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action'
function to be provided which does the actual waiting.
There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical.
Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one
which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule().
So:
Rename wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock to
wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action
to make it explicit that they need an action function.
Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io
which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use
a standard one.
The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made
based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action
function.
All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which
can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their
action functions have been discarded.
wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the
event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and
interpolate their own error code as appropriate.
The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was
ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used
fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function.
David Howells confirms this should be uniformly
"uninterruptible"
The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS
which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call.
A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action'
functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan'
field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan).
As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they
will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack. So
the distinction will still be visible, only with different
function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the
gfs2/glock.c case).
Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action
functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS. CIFS also now
uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware
schedule call as NFS.

Simplify the way fscache cache objects retain their cookie. The way I
implemented the cookie storage handling made synchronisation a pain (ie. the
object state machine can't rely on the cookie actually still being there).
Instead of the the object being detached from the cookie and the cookie being
freed in __fscache_relinquish_cookie(), we defer both operations:
(*) The detachment of the object from the list in the cookie now takes place
in fscache_drop_object() and is thus governed by the object state machine
(fscache_detach_from_cookie() has been removed).
(*) The release of the cookie is now in fscache_object_destroy() - which is
called by the cache backend just before it frees the object.
This means that the fscache_cookie struct is now available to the cache all the
way through from ->alloc_object() to ->drop_object() and ->put_object() -
meaning that it's no longer necessary to take object->lock to guarantee access.
However, __fscache_relinquish_cookie() doesn't wait for the object to go all
the way through to destruction before letting the netfs proceed. That would
massively slow down the netfs. Since __fscache_relinquish_cookie() leaves the
cookie around, in must therefore break all attachments to the netfs - which
includes ->def, ->netfs_data and any outstanding page read/writes.
To handle this, struct fscache_cookie now has an n_active counter:
(1) This starts off initialised to 1.
(2) Any time the cache needs to get at the netfs data, it calls
fscache_use_cookie() to increment it - if it is not zero. If it was zero,
then access is not permitted.
(3) When the cache has finished with the data, it calls fscache_unuse_cookie()
to decrement it. This does a wake-up on it if it reaches 0.
(4) __fscache_relinquish_cookie() decrements n_active and then waits for it to
reach 0. The initialisation to 1 in step (1) ensures that we only get
wake ups when we're trying to get rid of the cookie.
This leaves __fscache_relinquish_cookie() a lot simpler.
***
This fixes a problem in the current code whereby if fscache_invalidate() is
followed sufficiently quickly by fscache_relinquish_cookie() then it is
possible for __fscache_relinquish_cookie() to have detached the cookie from the
object and cleared the pointer before a thread is dispatched to process the
invalidation state in the object state machine.
Since the pending write clearance was deferred to the invalidation state to
make it asynchronous, we need to either wait in relinquishment for the stores
tree to be cleared in the invalidation state or we need to handle the clearance
in relinquishment.
Further, if the relinquishment code does clear the tree, then the invalidation
state need to make the clearance contingent on still having the cookie to hand
(since that's where the tree is rooted) and we have to prevent the cookie from
disappearing for the duration.
This can lead to an oops like the following:

Commit 8b8edefa (fscache: convert object to use workqueue instead of
slow-work) made fscache_exit() call unregister_sysctl_table()
unconditionally breaking build when sysctl is disabled. Fix it by
putting it inside CONFIG_SYSCTL.

Make fscache operation to use only workqueue instead of combination of
workqueue and slow-work. FSCACHE_OP_SLOW is dropped and
FSCACHE_OP_FAST is renamed to FSCACHE_OP_ASYNC and uses newly added
fscache_op_wq workqueue to execute op->processor().
fscache_operation_init_slow() is dropped and fscache_operation_init()
now takes @processor argument directly.
* Unbound workqueue is used.
* fscache_retrieval_work() is no longer necessary as OP_ASYNC now does
the equivalent thing.
* sysctl fscache.operation_max_active added to control concurrency.
The default value is nr_cpus clamped between 2 and
WQ_UNBOUND_MAX_ACTIVE.
* debugfs support is dropped for now. Tracing API based debug
facility is planned to be added.

Make fscache object state transition callbacks use workqueue instead
of slow-work. New dedicated unbound CPU workqueue fscache_object_wq
is created. get/put callbacks are renamed and modified to take
@object and called directly from the enqueue wrapper and the work
function. While at it, make all open coded instances of get/put to
use fscache_get/put_object().
* Unbound workqueue is used.
* work_busy() output is printed instead of slow-work flags in object
debugging outputs. They mean basically the same thing bit-for-bit.
* sysctl fscache.object_max_active added to control concurrency. The
default value is nr_cpus clamped between 4 and
WQ_UNBOUND_MAX_ACTIVE.
* slow_work_sleep_till_thread_needed() is replaced with fscache
private implementation fscache_object_sleep_till_congested() which
waits on fscache_object_wq congestion.
* debugfs support is dropped for now. Tracing API based debug
facility is planned to be added.

Implement the entry points by which a cache backend may initialise, add,
declare an error upon and withdraw a cache.
Further, an object is created in sysfs under which each cache added will get
an object created:
/sys/fs/fscache/<cachetag>/
All of this is described in Documentation/filesystems/caching/backend-api.txt
added by a previous patch.

Make FS-Cache create its /proc interface and present various statistical
information through it. Also provide the functions for updating this
information.
These features are enabled by:
CONFIG_FSCACHE_PROC
CONFIG_FSCACHE_STATS
CONFIG_FSCACHE_HISTOGRAM
The /proc directory for FS-Cache is also exported so that caching modules can
add their own statistics there too.
The FS-Cache module is loadable at this point, and the statistics files can be
examined by userspace:
cat /proc/fs/fscache/stats
cat /proc/fs/fscache/histogram

Add the main configuration option, allowing FS-Cache to be selected; the
module entry and exit functions and the debugging stuff used by these patches.
The two configuration options added are:
CONFIG_FSCACHE
CONFIG_FSCACHE_DEBUG
The first enables the facility, and the second makes the debugging statements
enableable through the "debug" module parameter. The value of this parameter
is a bitmask as described in:
Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt
The module can be loaded at this point, but all it will do at this point in
the patch series is to start up the slow work facility and shut it down again.
