FS-Cache: Permit cache retrieval ops to be interrupted in the initial wait phase
Permit the operations to retrieve data from the cache or to allocate space in the cache for future writes to be interrupted whilst they're waiting for permission for the operation to proceed. Typically this wait occurs whilst the cache object is being looked up on disk in the background. If an interruption occurs, and the operation has not yet been given the go-ahead to run, the operation is dequeued and cancelled, and control returns to the read operation of the netfs routine with none of the requested pages having been read or in any way marked as known by the cache. This means that the initial wait is done interruptibly rather than uninterruptibly. In addition, extra stats values are made available to show the number of ops cancelled and the number of cache space allocations interrupted. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
