This patchset converts ceph to use the new (not yet merged) FSCache API.
Trying to use fscache+ceph today usually results in oopses. With this
series, it seems to be quite stable.
Where possible, I've converted the code to use the new read helper,
which hides away a lot of the gory details of page handling, which I think
makes the resulting code clearer than it was.
It starts with a few cleanup/reorganization patches to prepare the code. I then
rip out most of the old ceph fscache helpers and replace them with new
ones for the new API.
The rest of the series then plugs buffered read/write caching support
back into the code, with the most of the read-side routines using the
fscache_read_helper.
This passes xfstests' quick group run with the cache disabled. With it
enabled, it passed most of it, but I hit some OOM kills on generic/531.
Still tracking that bit down, but we suspect the problem is in
fscache/cachefiles code and not in these patches.
This is based on top of David's latest fscache-iter branch:
