as possible.
+ (*) Indicate that a stale object was found and discarded:
+
+ void fscache_object_retrying_stale(struct fscache_object *object);
+
+ This is called to indicate that the lookup procedure found an object in
+ the cache that the netfs decided was stale. The object has been
+ discarded from the cache and the lookup will be performed again.
+
+
+ (*) Indicate that the caching backend killed an object:
+
+ void fscache_object_mark_killed(struct fscache_object *object,
+ enum fscache_why_object_killed why);
+
+ This is called to indicate that the cache backend preemptively killed an
+ object. The why parameter should be set to indicate the reason:
+
+ FSCACHE_OBJECT_IS_STALE - the object was stale and needs discarding.
+ FSCACHE_OBJECT_NO_SPACE - there was insufficient cache space
+ FSCACHE_OBJECT_WAS_RETIRED - the object was retired when relinquished.
+ FSCACHE_OBJECT_WAS_CULLED - the object was culled to make space.
+
+
(*) Get and release references on a retrieval record:
void fscache_get_retrieval(struct fscache_retrieval *op);
