Conventions are what people agree they are.

Anyway, I've attached a revised page flags patch if you can take a quick look
over that.

I'll drop the AFS-caching and AFS-write-fix patches for the moment and
concentrate on trying to get FS-Cache working with NFS.

So if we can agree on the two(?) things you brought up with the remaining
patches:

 (1) Make PG_fscache overload PG_private_2 rather than PG_owner_priv_2.  Would
     that make you happy with patch 10 of 28?

 (2) Then there's patch 9 of 28 - making read_cache_pages() release private
     data that's already attached to pages it then discards due to error.  Are
     you still going to require that I duplicate read_cache_pages()?  Or can
     you accept that sharing is sufficient, especially if PG_private_2 now
     exists?

FS-Cache: Recruit a couple of page flags for cache management

From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx>

Recruit a couple of page flags to aid in cache management.  The following extra
flags are defined:

 (1) PG_fscache (PG_private_2)

     The marked page is backed by a local cache and is pinning resources in the
     cache driver.

 (2) PG_fscache_write (PG_owner_priv_2)

     The marked page is being written to the local cache.  The page may not be
     modified whilst this is in progress.

If PG_fscache is set, then things that checked for PG_private will now also
check for that.  This includes things like truncation and page invalidation.
The function page_has_private() had been added to make the checks for both
PG_private and PG_private_2 at the same time.
