JFYI, the code reading and writing the cache looks good to me.

It is still possible that some entries might stay unused (filled
with zeroes) but it should be hard to hit in practice. It
is good enough from my POV.

I do not give Reviewed-by tag just because I somehow do not have power
to review the entire patch carefully enough at the moment.

Best Regards,
