[ Upstream commit 22f9400a6f3560629478e0a64247b8fcc811a24d ]

In fscache_create_volume(), there is a missing memory barrier between the
bit-clearing operation and the wake-up operation. This may cause a
situation where, after a wake-up, the bit-clearing operation hasn't been
detected yet, leading to an indefinite wait. The triggering process is as
follows:

  [cookie1]                [cookie2]                  [volume_work]
fscache_perform_lookup
  fscache_create_volume
                        fscache_perform_lookup
                          fscache_create_volume
			                        fscache_create_volume_work
                                                  cachefiles_acquire_volume
                                                  clear_and_wake_up_bit
    test_and_set_bit
                            test_and_set_bit
                              goto maybe_wait
      goto no_wait

In the above process, cookie1 and cookie2 has the same volume. When cookie1
enters the -no_wait- process, it will clear the bit and wake up the waiting
process. If a barrier is missing, it may cause cookie2 to remain in the
-wait- process indefinitely.

In commit 3288666c7256 ("fscache: Use clear_and_wake_up_bit() in
fscache_create_volume_work()"), barriers were added to similar operations
in fscache_create_volume_work(), but fscache_create_volume() was missed.

By combining the clear and wake operations into clear_and_wake_up_bit() to
fix this issue.

Export fscache_put_volume() and add fscache_try_get_volume()
helper function to allow cachefiles to get/put fscache_volume
via linux/fscache-cache.h.

Instead of inventing a custom way to conditionally enable debugging,
just make use of pr_debug(), which also has dynamic debugging facilities
and is more likely known to someone who hunts a problem in the netfs
code. Also drop the module parameter netfs_debug which didn't have any
effect without further source changes. (The variable netfs_debug was
only used in #ifdef blocks for cpp vars that don't exist; Note that
CONFIG_NETFS_DEBUG isn't settable via kconfig, a variable with that name
never existed in the mainline and is probably just taken over (and
renamed) from similar custom debug logging implementations.)

<title>netfs, fscache: Move fs/fscache/* into fs/netfs/</title>

There's a problem with dependencies between netfslib and fscache as each
wants to access some functions of the other.  Deal with this by moving
fs/fscache/* into fs/netfs/ and renaming those files to begin with
"fscache-".

For the moment, the moved files are changed as little as possible and an
fscache module is still built.  A subsequent patch will integrate them.
