[PATCH v9 03/21] cachefiles: unbind cachefiles gracefully in on-demand mode

[Jeffle Xu]

Add a refcount to avoid the deadlock in on-demand read mode. The
on-demand read mode will pin the corresponding cachefiles object for
each anonymous fd. The cachefiles object is unpinned when the anonymous
fd gets closed. When the user daemon exits and the fd of
"/dev/cachefiles" device node gets closed, it will wait for all
cahcefiles objects gets withdrawn. Then if there's any anonymous fd
getting closed after the fd of the device node, the user daemon will
hang forever, waiting for all objects getting withdrawn.

To fix this, add a refcount indicating if there's any object pinned by
anonymous fds. The cachefiles cache gets unbound and withdrawn when the
refcount decreased to 0. It won't change the behaviour of the original
mode, in which case the cachefiles cache gets unbound and withdrawn as
long as the fd of the device node gets closed. Besides, kref_get() is
adequate whilst kref_get_unless_zero() is not needed here, since no more
anonymous fd will be created when the .release() callback of the device
node fd has already been called.
