Pull fs-cache fixes from David Howells:
Can you pull these commits to fix an issue with NFS whereby caching can be
enabled on a file that is open for writing by subsequently opening it for
reading. This can be made to crash by opening it for writing again if you're
quick enough.
The gist of the patchset is that the cookie should be acquired at inode
creation only and subsequently enabled and disabled as appropriate (which
dispenses with the backing objects when they're not needed).
The extra synchronisation that NFS does can then be dispensed with as it is
thenceforth managed by FS-Cache.
Could you send these on to Linus?
This likely will need fixing also in CIFS and 9P also once the FS-Cache
changes are upstream. AFS and Ceph are probably safe.
* 'fscache' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs:
NFS: Use i_writecount to control whether to get an fscache cookie in nfs_open()
FS-Cache: Provide the ability to enable/disable cookies
FS-Cache: Add use/unuse/wake cookie wrappers
Use i_writecount to control whether to get an fscache cookie in nfs_open() as
NFS does not do write caching yet. I *think* this is the cause of a problem
encountered by Mark Moseley whereby __fscache_uncache_page() gets a NULL
pointer dereference because cookie->def is NULL:

The code at the instruction pointer was disassembled:

> 0xffffffff812a1907 <+39>: je 0xffffffff812a19cd <__fscache_uncache_page+237>
These instructions make up:
ASSERTCMP(cookie->def->type, !=, FSCACHE_COOKIE_TYPE_INDEX);
That cmpb is the faulting instruction (%rax is 0). So cookie->def is NULL -
which presumably means that the cookie has already been at least partway
through __fscache_relinquish_cookie().
What I think may be happening is something like a three-way race on the same
file:
PROCESS 1 PROCESS 2 PROCESS 3

open(O_RDONLY)
open(O_WRONLY)

-->__fscache_uncache_page(cookie)
<crash>
<--__fscache_relinquish_cookie()
nfs_inode->fscache = NULL
<--nfs_fscache_set_inode_cookie()
What is needed is something to prevent process #2 from reacquiring the cookie
- and I think checking i_writecount should do the trick.
It's also possible to have a two-way race on this if the file is opened
O_TRUNC|O_RDONLY instead.

Determine if we've created a new file by examining the directory change
attribute and/or the O_EXCL flag.
This fixes a regression when doing a non-exclusive create of a new file.
If the FILE_CREATED flag is not set, the atomic_open() command will
perform full file access permissions checks instead of just checking
for MAY_OPEN.

This is to ensure that we don't clear the NFS_CONTEXT_RESEND_WRITES
flag while there are still writes that haven't been resent.

If the server reboots before it can commit the unstable writes to disk,
then nfs_commit_release_pages() will detect this when it compares the
verifier returned by COMMIT to the one returned by WRITE. When this
happens, the client needs to resend those writes in order to guarantee
that they make it to stable storage.
This patch adds a signalling mechanism to notify fsync() that it
needs to retry all writes before it can exit.

We need to ensure that if the call to filemap_write_and_wait_range()
fails, then we report that error back to the application.

This patch moves the NFS v4 file functions into a new file that is only
compiled when CONFIG_NFS_V4 is enabled.
