Hi Linus,
Can you pull these fixes for fscache and cachefiles please?
There are five:
(1) Allow cancelled operations to be queued so they can be cleaned up.
(2) Fix a refcounting bug in the monitoring of reads on backend files
whereby a race can occur between monitor objects being listed for work,
the work processing being queued and the work processor running and
destroying the monitor objects.
(3) Fix a ref overput in object attachment, whereby a tentatively
considered object is put in error handling without first being 'got'.
(4) Fix a missing clear of the CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE flag whereby an
assertion occurs when we retry because it seems the object is now
active.
(5) Wait rather BUG'ing on an object collision in the depths of cachefiles
as the active object should be being cleaned up - also depends on (4).
David
