he completion function will be given an error, and will also be passed contextual information to allow the netfs to fall back to querying the server for the absent pages. For each successful read, the page completion function will also be called. Any pages subsequently tracked by the cache will have PG_fscache set upon them on return. fscache_uncache_page() must be called for such pages. If supplied by the netfs, the mark_pages_cached() cookie op will be invoked for any pages now tracked. (*) fscache_alloc_page(). Allocate internal metadata to track a netfs page and reserve disk space. This will return -ENOMEM on memory allocation error, -ERESTARTSYS on signal, -ENOBUFS if the object isn't cached, or there isn't enough space in the cache, or 0 if successful. Any pages subsequently tracked by the cache will have PG_fscache set upon them on return. fscache_uncache_page() must be called for such pages. If supplied by the netfs, the mark_pages_cached() cookie op will be invoked for any pages now tracked. (*) fscache_write_page(). Request data be stored to disk. This may only be called on pages that have been read or alloc'd by the above three functions and have not yet been uncached. This will return -ENOMEM on memory allocation error, -ERESTARTSYS on signal, -ENOBUFS if the object isn't cached, or there isn't immediately enough space in the cache, or 0 if successful. On a successful return, this operation will have queued the page for asynchronous writing to the cache. The page will be returned with PG_fscache_write set until the write completes one way or another. The caller will not be notified if the write fails due to an I/O error. If that happens, the object will become available and all pending writes will be aborted. Note that the cache may batch up page writes, and so it may take a while to get around to writing them out. The caller must assume that until PG_fscache_write is cleared the page is use by the cache. Any changes made to the page may be reflected on disk. The page may even be under DMA. (*) fscache_uncache_page(). Indicate that the cache should stop tracking a page previously read or alloc'd from the cache. If the page was alloc'd only, but unwritten, it will not appear on disk.
