David,
Not sure if I'm doing something wrong here.
I've extracted the below code but get the following error after applying to

Subject: [PATCH] CacheFiles: Fix occasional EIO on call to vfs_unlink()

[ 7296.813394] FS-Cache: Cache "mycache" added (type cachefiles)
[ 7296.813432] CacheFiles: File cache on md3 registered
What happens is this:
(1) A cached NFS file is seen to have become out of date, so NFS retires
the
object and immediately acquires a new object with the same key.
(2) Retirement of the old object is done asynchronously - so the
lookup/create
to generate the new object may be done first.
This can be a problem as the old object and the new object must exist
at
the same point in the backing filesystem (i.e. they must have the same
pathname).
(3) The lookup for the new object sees that a backing file already exists,
checks to see whether it is valid and sees that it isn't. It then
deletes
that file and creates a new one on disk.
(4) The retirement phase for the old file is then performed. It tries to
delete the dentry it has, but ext4_unlink() returns -EIO because the
inode
attached to that dentry no longer matches the inode number associated
with
the filename in the parent directory.
The trace below shows this quite well.
[md5sum] ==>
__fscache_relinquish_cookie(ffff88002d12fb58{NFS.fh,ffff88002ce62100},1)
[md5sum] ==>
__fscache_acquire_cookie({NFS.server},{NFS.fh},ffff88002ce62100)
NFS has retired the old cookie and asked for a new one.
[kslowd] ==> fscache_object_state_machine({OBJ52,OBJECT_ACTIVE,24})
[kslowd] <== fscache_object_state_machine() [->OBJECT_DYING]
[kslowd] ==> fscache_object_state_machine({OBJ53,OBJECT_INIT,0})
[kslowd] <== fscache_object_state_machine() [->OBJECT_LOOKING_UP]
[kslowd] ==> fscache_object_state_machine({OBJ52,OBJECT_DYING,24})
[kslowd] <== fscache_object_state_machine() [->OBJECT_RECYCLING]
The old object (OBJ52) is going through the terminal states to get rid of
it, whilst the new object - (OBJ53) - is coming into being.
[kslowd] ==>
fscache_object_state_machine({OBJ53,OBJECT_LOOKING_UP,0})
[kslowd] ==>
cachefiles_walk_to_object({ffff88003029d8b8},OBJ53, at 68,)
[kslowd] lookup '@68'
[kslowd] next -> ffff88002ce41bd0 positive
[kslowd] advance
[kslowd] lookup 'Es0g00og0_Nd_XCYe3BOzvXrsBLMlN6aw16M1htaA'
[kslowd] next -> ffff8800369faac8 positive
The new object has looked up the subdir in which the file would be in
(getting dentry ffff88002ce41bd0) and then looked up the file itself
(getting dentry ffff8800369faac8).
[kslowd] validate 'Es0g00og0_Nd_XCYe3BOzvXrsBLMlN6aw16M1htaA'
[kslowd] ==>
cachefiles_bury_object(,'@68','Es0g00og0_Nd_XCYe3BOzvXrsBLMlN6aw16M1htaA')
[kslowd] remove ffff8800369faac8 from ffff88002ce41bd0
[kslowd] unlink stale object
[kslowd] <== cachefiles_bury_object() = 0
It then checks the file's xattrs to see if it's valid. NFS says that the
auxiliary data indicate the file is out of date (obvious to us - that's why
NFS ditched the old version and got a new one). CacheFiles then deletes the
old file (dentry ffff8800369faac8).
[kslowd] redo lookup
[kslowd] lookup 'Es0g00og0_Nd_XCYe3BOzvXrsBLMlN6aw16M1htaA'
[kslowd] next -> ffff88002cd94288 negative
[kslowd] create -> ffff88002cd94288{ffff88002cdaf238{ino=148247}}
CacheFiles then redoes the lookup and gets a negative result in a new dentry
(ffff88002cd94288) which it then creates a file for.
[kslowd] ==> cachefiles_mark_object_active(,OBJ53)
[kslowd] <== cachefiles_mark_object_active() = 0
[kslowd] === OBTAINED_OBJECT ===
[kslowd] <== cachefiles_walk_to_object() = 0 [148247]
[kslowd] <== fscache_object_state_machine() [->OBJECT_AVAILABLE]
The new object is then marked active and the state machine moves to the
available state - at which point NFS can start filling the object.
[kslowd] ==>
fscache_object_state_machine({OBJ52,OBJECT_RECYCLING,20})
[kslowd] ==> fscache_release_object()
[kslowd] ==> cachefiles_drop_object({OBJ52,2})
[kslowd] ==> cachefiles_delete_object(,OBJ52{ffff8800369faac8})
The old object, meanwhile, goes on with being retired. If allocation occurs
first, cachefiles_delete_object() has to wait for dir->d_inode->i_mutex to
become available before it can continue.
[kslowd] ==>
cachefiles_bury_object(,'@68','Es0g00og0_Nd_XCYe3BOzvXrsBLMlN6aw16M1htaA')
[kslowd] remove ffff8800369faac8 from ffff88002ce41bd0
[kslowd] unlink stale object
EXT4-fs warning (device sda6): ext4_unlink: Inode number mismatch in
unlink (148247!=148193)
CacheFiles: I/O Error: Unlink failed
FS-Cache: Cache cachefiles stopped due to I/O error
CacheFiles then tries to delete the file for the old object, but the dentry
it has (ffff8800369faac8) no longer points to a valid inode for that
directory entry, and so ext4_unlink() returns -EIO when de->inode does not
match i_ino.
[kslowd] <== cachefiles_bury_object() = -5
[kslowd] <== cachefiles_delete_object() = -5
[kslowd] <== fscache_object_state_machine() [->OBJECT_DEAD]
[kslowd] ==>
fscache_object_state_machine({OBJ53,OBJECT_AVAILABLE,0})
[kslowd] <== fscache_object_state_machine() [->OBJECT_ACTIVE]
(Note that the above trace includes extra information beyond that produced
by the upstream code).
The fix is to note when an object that is being retired has had its object
deleted preemptively by a replacement object that is being created, and to
skip the second removal attempt in such a case.
