[v3,46/68] cachefiles: Mark a backing file in use with an inode flag

Commit Message

David Howells Dec. 16, 2021, 4:19 p.m. UTC

Use an inode flag, S_KERNEL_FILE, to mark that a backing file is in use by
the kernel to prevent cachefiles or other kernel services from interfering
with that file.

Using S_SWAPFILE instead isn't really viable as that has other effects in
the I/O paths.
