FS-Cache: Handle read request vs lookup, creation or other cache failure
FS-Cache doesn't correctly handle the netfs requesting a read from the cache on an object that failed or was withdrawn by the cache. A trace similar to the following might be seen: CacheFiles: Lookup failed error -105 [exe ] unexpected submission OP165afe [OBJ6cac OBJECT_LC_DYING] [exe ] objstate=OBJECT_LC_DYING [OBJECT_LC_DYING] [exe ] objflags=0 [exe ] objevent=9 [fffffffffffffffb] [exe ] ops=0 inp=0 exc=0 Pid: 6970, comm: exe Not tainted 2.6.32-rc6-cachefs #50 Call Trace: [<ffffffffa0076477>] fscache_submit_op+0x3ff/0x45a [fscache] [<ffffffffa0077997>] __fscache_read_or_alloc_pages+0x187/0x3c4 [fscache] [<ffffffffa00b6480>] ? nfs_readpage_from_fscache_complete+0x0/0x66 [nfs] [<ffffffffa00b6388>] __nfs_readpages_from_fscache+0x7e/0x176 [nfs] [<ffffffff8108e483>] ? __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x11c/0x5cf [<ffffffffa009d796>] nfs_readpages+0x114/0x1d7 [nfs] [<ffffffff81090314>] __do_page_cache_readahead+0x15f/0x1ec [<ffffffff81090228>] ? __do_page_cache_readahead+0x73/0x1ec [<ffffffff810903bd>] ra_submit+0x1c/0x20 [<ffffffff810906bb>] ondemand_readahead+0x227/0x23a [<ffffffff81090762>] page_cache_sync_readahead+0x17/0x19 [<ffffffff8108a99e>] generic_file_aio_read+0x236/0x5a0 [<ffffffffa00937bd>] nfs_file_read+0xe4/0xf3 [nfs] [<ffffffff810b2fa2>] do_sync_read+0xe3/0x120 [<ffffffff81354cc3>] ? _spin_unlock_irq+0x2b/0x31 [<ffffffff8104c0f1>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x34 [<ffffffff811848e5>] ? selinux_file_permission+0x5d/0x10f [<ffffffff81352bdb>] ? thread_return+0x3e/0x101 [<ffffffff8117d7b0>] ? security_file_permission+0x11/0x13 [<ffffffff810b3b06>] vfs_read+0xaa/0x16f [<ffffffff81058df0>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x10c/0x130 [<ffffffff810b3c84>] sys_read+0x45/0x6c [<ffffffff8100ae2b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b The object state might also be OBJECT_DYING or OBJECT_WITHDRAWING. This should be handled by simply rejecting the new operation with ENOBUFS. There's no need to log an error for it. Events of this type now appear in the stats file under Ops:rej.
