    mm/fs: add hooks to support cleancache · c515e1fd
    Dan Magenheimer authored
    
    
    This fourth patch of eight in this cleancache series provides the
    core hooks in VFS for: initializing cleancache per filesystem;
    capturing clean pages reclaimed by page cache; attempting to get
    pages from cleancache before filesystem read; and ensuring coherency
    between pagecache, disk, and cleancache.  Note that the placement
    of these hooks was stable from 2.6.18 to 2.6.38; a minor semantic
    change was required due to a patchset in 2.6.39.
    
    All hooks become no-ops if CONFIG_CLEANCACHE is unset, or become
    a check of a boolean global if CONFIG_CLEANCACHE is set but no
    cleancache "backend" has claimed cleancache_ops.
    
    Details and a FAQ can be found in Documentation/vm/cleancache.txt
