Hello everyone!

Recently we found some bugs while doing tests on cachefiles ondemand mode,
and this patchset is a fix for some of those issues. The following is a
brief overview of the patches, see the patches for more details.

Patch 1-5: Holding reference counts of reqs and objects on read requests
to avoid malicious restore leading to use-after-free.

Patch 6-10: Add some consistency checks to copen/cread/get_fd to avoid
malicious copen/cread/close fd injections causing use-after-free or hung.

Patch 11: When cache is marked as CACHEFILES_DEAD, flush all requests,
otherwise the kernel may be hung. since this state is irreversible, the
daemon can read open requests but cannot copen.

Patch 12: Allow interrupting a read request being processed by killing
the read process as a way of avoiding hung in some special cases.

Comments and questions are, as always, welcome.

Thanks,
Baokun
