[PATCH 14/28] FS-Cache: The object-available state can't rely on thecookie to be available

From: David Howells
Date: Thu Nov 19 2009 - 12:25:04 EST


The object-available state in the object processing state machine (as
processed by fscache_object_available()) can't rely on the cookie to be
available because the FSCACHE_COOKIE_CREATING bit may have been cleared by
fscache_obtained_object() prior to the object being put into the
FSCACHE_OBJECT_AVAILABLE state.

Clearing the FSCACHE_COOKIE_CREATING bit on a cookie permits
__fscache_relinquish_cookie() to proceed and detach the cookie from the
object.

To deal with this, we don't dereference object->cookie in
fscache_object_available() if the object has already been detached.

In addition, a couple of assertions are added into fscache_drop_object() to
make sure the object is unbound from the cookie before it gets there.
