hi, fscache cannot currently be used with btrfs as the backing store for the cache (managed by cachefilesd). This is because cachefiles needs the ->bmap address_space_operation, and btrfs doesn't provide it.
cachefiles only uses this to find out if a particular page is a 'hole' or
not. For btrfs, this can be done with 'SEEK_DATA'.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be possible to query a filesystem or a file
to see if SEEK_DATA is reliable or not, so we cannot simply use SEEK_DATA
when reliable, else ->bmap if available.
The following patch make fscache work for me on btrfs. It explicitly checks
for BTRFS_SUPER_MAGIC. Not really a nice solution, but all I could think of.
Is there a better way? Could a better way be created? Maybe
SEEK_DATA_RELIABLE ??
Comments, suggestions welcome.
Also, if you do try to use fscache on btrfs with 3.19, then nothing gets
cached (as expected) and with a heavy load you can lose a race and get an
asserting fail in fscache_enqueue_operation
ASSERT(fscache_object_is_available(op->object));
It looks like the object is being killed before it is available...
