  • cleancache_ops is used to decide whether backend is registered.
    So now cleancache_enabled is always true if defined CONFIG_CLEANCACHE.

  • Instead of using a backend_registered to determine whether a backend is
    enabled. This allows us to remove the backend_register check and just
    do 'if (cleancache_ops)'

  • With the goal of allowing tmem backends (zcache, ramster, Xen tmem) to
    be built/loaded as modules rather than built-in and enabled by a boot
    parameter, this patch provides "lazy initialization", allowing backends
    to register to cleancache even after filesystems were mounted. Calls to
    init_fs and init_shared_fs are remembered as fake poolids but no real
    tmem_pools created. On backend registration the fake poolids are mapped
    to real poolids and respective tmem_pools.

  • pass inode + parent's inode or NULL instead of dentry + bool saying
    whether we want the parent or not.

    NOTE: that needs ceph fix folded in.

  • The values are rarely changed so might as well put them in the
    appropiate section.

  • Complete the renaming from "flush" to "invalidate" across
    both tmem frontends (cleancache and frontswap) and both tmem backends
    (Xen and zcache), as required by akpm.

    This change is completely cosmetic.

  • Per akpm suggestions alter the use of the term flush to be
    invalidate. The next patch will do this across all MM.

  • This third patch of eight in this cleancache series provides
    the core code for cleancache that interfaces between the hooks in
    VFS and individual filesystems and a cleancache backend. It also
    includes build and config patches.

    Two new files are added: mm/cleancache.c and include/linux/cleancache.h.

    Note that CONFIG_CLEANCACHE can default to on; in systems that do
    not provide a cleancache backend, all hooks devolve to a simple
    check of a global enable flag, so performance impact should
    be negligible but can be reduced to zero impact if config'ed off.
    However for this first commit, it defaults to off.

    Details and a FAQ can be found in Documentation/vm/cleancache.txt
