[Linux-cachefs] [PATCH 0/1] cachefiles: Add a command to restore on-demand requests

[Jia Zhu]

Hi David, Jeffle & Xiang

In production environment, process crashes sometimes occurs.

In cachefiles on-demand read scenario, if user daemon crashes,
requests will return -EIO.
User programs which do not consider this error will trap into
uncertain state.

Based on this, we came up with a user daemon crash recover scheme.
Even if user daemon crashes, the device connection and anonymous fd
will not be released. Recovered user daemon only needs to write 'restore'
to /dev/cachefiles to restore in-flight requests.

Userspace Crash Recover Demo (Based on Jeffle's User Demo)
