[linux-cifs-client] [GIT PULL] Fix bugs in Slow-work, FS-Cache and CacheFiles

[David Howells]

Hi Linus,

Could you pull the attached patches before 2.6.32 please?  For the most part
they are bug fixes for the slow-work, FS-Cache and CacheFiles facilities, with
a few patches to produce better debugging information, and a couple of patches
to slow work from Jens that all the rest are built on top of.

These vastly improve the stability of FS-Cache under extremely high load -
especially when the system is running out of memory regularly.  I wrote a
better test case:

	http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/slurp.c

which helped enormously in reproducing these bugs.  Testing has involved
running repeated invocations of slurp over five NFS4 mounted directory trees
totalling ~40GB in N file spread over 100,000 dirs on a machine with 1GB of
RAM and 4GB of disk cache space.  Note that slurp, being massively parallel,
will abandon a part of the tree if it hits any error (such as ENOMEM) - so not
all the data set will necessarily be used in any particular run.

The patches can also be downloaded as:

	http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/patches/fscache-fixes.tar.bz2

The changes don't affect very much outside of FS-Cache and its dependents (NFS,
AFS and 9P), but the slow-work changes do affect CIFS and GFS2.

Thanks,
David
