fscache: Implement cookie-level access helpers
Add a number of helper functions to manage access to a cookie, pinning the cache object in place for the duration to prevent cache withdrawal from removing it: (1) void fscache_init_access_gate(struct fscache_cookie *cookie); This function initialises the access count when a cache binds to a cookie. An extra ref is taken on the access count to prevent wakeups while the cache is active. We're only interested in the wakeup when a cookie is being withdrawn and we're waiting for it to quiesce - at which point the counter will be decremented before the wait. The FSCACHE_COOKIE_NACC_ELEVATED flag is set on the cookie to keep track of the extra ref in order to handle a race between relinquishment and withdrawal both trying to drop the extra ref. (2) bool fscache_begin_cookie_access(struct fscache_cookie *cookie, enum fscache_access_trace why); This function attempts to begin access upon a cookie, pinning it in place if it's cached. If successful, it returns true and leaves a the access count incremented. (3) void fscache_end_cookie_access(struct fscache_cookie *cookie, enum fscache_access_trace why); This function drops the access count obtained by (2), permitting object withdrawal to take place when it reaches zero. A tracepoint is provided to track changes to the access counter on a cookie. Changes ======= ver #2: - Don't hold n_accesses elevated whilst cache is bound to a cookie, but rather add a flag that prevents the state machine from being queued when n_accesses reaches 0.
