BULK INODE PAGE UNCACHE
-----------------------

A convenience routine is provided to perform an uncache on all the pages
attached to an inode. This assumes that the pages on the inode correspond on a
1:1 basis with the pages in the cache.

void fscache_uncache_all_inode_pages(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
struct inode *inode);

This takes the netfs cookie that the pages were cached with and the inode that
the pages are attached to. This function will wait for pages to finish being
written to the cache and for the cache to finish with the page generally. No
error is returned.

incremented by the driver core before executing ->probe(). Still, it may be
desirable to suspend the device as soon as ->probe() has finished, so the driver
core uses pm_runtime_put_sync() to invoke the subsystem-level idle callback for
the device at that time.

Moreover, the driver core prevents runtime PM callbacks from racing with the bus
notifier callback in __device_release_driver(), which is necessary, because the
notifier is used by some subsystems to carry out operations affecting the
runtime PM functionality. It does so by calling pm_runtime_get_sync() before
driver_sysfs_remove() and the BUS_NOTIFY_UNBIND_DRIVER notifications. This
resumes the device if it's in the suspended state and prevents it from
being suspended again while those routines are being executed.

To allow bus types and drivers to put devices into the suspended state by
calling pm_runtime_suspend() from their ->remove() routines, the driver core
executes pm_runtime_put_sync() after running the BUS_NOTIFY_UNBIND_DRIVER
notifications in __device_release_driver(). This requires bus types and
drivers to make their ->remove() callbacks avoid races with runtime PM directly,
but also it allows of more flexibility in the handling of devices during the
removal of their drivers.

The user space can effectively disallow the driver of the device to power manage
it at run time by changing the value of its /sys/devices/.../power/control

The above is always safe. It will disable interrupts _locally_, but the
spinlock itself will guarantee the global lock, so it will guarantee that
there is only one thread-of-control within the region(s) protected by that
lock. This works well even under UP. The above sequence under UP
essentially is just the same as doing

unsigned long flags;

save_flags(flags); cli();
... critical section ...
restore_flags(flags);

architectures that allow doing the "save_flags + cli" in one operation).

spinlock for most things - using more than one spinlock can make things a
lot more complex and even slower and is usually worth it only for
sequences that you _know_ need to be split up: avoid it at all cost if you
aren't sure). HOWEVER, it _does_ mean that if you have some code that does

cli();

sti();

spin_lock_irqsave(flags);

then they are NOT mutually exclusive, and the critical regions can happen
at the same time on two different CPU's. That's fine per se, but the
critical regions had better be critical for different things (ie they
can't stomp on each other).

The above is a problem mainly if you end up mixing code - for example the
routines in ll_rw_block() tend to use cli/sti to protect the atomicity of
their actions, and if a driver uses spinlocks instead then you should
think about issues like the above.

The single spin-lock primitives above are by no means the only ones. They
