Hi all!

This is the third version of this patch series. The new version has no
functional changes compared to the previous one, so I've kept the previous
Acked-by and Reviewed-by, so please let me know if you have any objections.

Thank you, Jia Zhu and Jingbo Xu, Jeff Layton, Gao Xiang, for the feedback
in the previous version.

We've been testing ondemand mode for cachefiles since January, and we're
almost done. We hit a lot of issues during the testing period, and this
patch set fixes some of the issues related to ondemand requests.
The patches have passed internal testing without regression.

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.
Please let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Baokun
