Commit 8b8edefa (fscache: convert object to use workqueue instead of
slow-work) made fscache_exit() call unregister_sysctl_table()
unconditionally breaking build when sysctl is disabled. Fix it by
putting it inside CONFIG_SYSCTL.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

fscache no longer uses slow-work. Drop references to it.
Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo
Acked-by: David Howells -
Make fscache operation to use only workqueue instead of combination of
workqueue and slow-work. FSCACHE_OP_SLOW is dropped and
FSCACHE_OP_FAST is renamed to FSCACHE_OP_ASYNC and uses newly added
fscache_op_wq workqueue to execute op->processor().
fscache_operation_init_slow() is dropped and fscache_operation_init()
now takes @processor argument directly.* Unbound workqueue is used.
* fscache_retrieval_work() is no longer necessary as OP_ASYNC now does
the equivalent thing.* sysctl fscache.operation_max_active added to control concurrency.
The default value is nr_cpus clamped between 2 and
WQ_UNBOUND_MAX_ACTIVE.* debugfs support is dropped for now. Tracing API based debug
facility is planned to be added.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Make fscache object state transition callbacks use workqueue instead
of slow-work. New dedicated unbound CPU workqueue fscache_object_wq
is created. get/put callbacks are renamed and modified to take
@object and called directly from the enqueue wrapper and the work
function. While at it, make all open coded instances of get/put to
use fscache_get/put_object().* Unbound workqueue is used.
* work_busy() output is printed instead of slow-work flags in object
debugging outputs. They mean basically the same thing bit-for-bit.* sysctl fscache.object_max_active added to control concurrency. The
default value is nr_cpus clamped between 4 and
WQ_UNBOUND_MAX_ACTIVE.* slow_work_sleep_till_thread_needed() is replaced with fscache
private implementation fscache_object_sleep_till_congested() which
waits on fscache_object_wq congestion.* debugfs support is dropped for now. Tracing API based debug
facility is planned to be added.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Wait for outstanding slow work items belonging to a module to clear when
unregistering that module as a user of the facility. This prevents the put_ref
code of a work item from being taken away before it returns.Signed-off-by: David Howells

Provide a slab from which can be allocated the FS-Cache cookies that will be
presented to the netfs.Also provide a slab constructor and a function to recursively discard a cookie
and its ancestor chain.Signed-off-by: David Howells

Implement the entry points by which a cache backend may initialise, add,
declare an error upon and withdraw a cache.Further, an object is created in sysfs under which each cache added will get
an object created:/sys/fs/fscache//
All of this is described in Documentation/filesystems/caching/backend-api.txt
added by a previous patch.Signed-off-by: David Howells

Make FS-Cache create its /proc interface and present various statistical
information through it. Also provide the functions for updating this
information.These features are enabled by:
CONFIG_FSCACHE_PROC
CONFIG_FSCACHE_STATS
CONFIG_FSCACHE_HISTOGRAMThe /proc directory for FS-Cache is also exported so that caching modules can
add their own statistics there too.The FS-Cache module is loadable at this point, and the statistics files can be
examined by userspace:cat /proc/fs/fscache/stats
cat /proc/fs/fscache/histogramSigned-off-by: David Howells

Add the main configuration option, allowing FS-Cache to be selected; the
module entry and exit functions and the debugging stuff used by these patches.The two configuration options added are:
CONFIG_FSCACHE
CONFIG_FSCACHE_DEBUGThe first enables the facility, and the second makes the debugging statements
enableable through the "debug" module parameter. The value of this parameter
is a bitmask as described in:Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt
The module can be loaded at this point, but all it will do at this point in
the patch series is to start up the slow work facility and shut it down again.Signed-off-by: David Howells
