FS-Cache: One of the write operation paths doesn't set the object state
In fscache_write_op(), if the object is determined to have become inactive or to have lost its cookie, we don't move the operation state from in-progress, and so an assertion in fscache_put_operation() fails with an assertion (see below). Instrumenting fscache_op_work_func() indicates that it called fscache_write_op() before calling fscache_put_operation() - where the assertion failed. The assertion at line 433 indicates that the operation state is IN_PROGRESS rather than being COMPLETE or CANCELLED. Instrumenting fscache_write_op() showed that it was being called on an object that had had its cookie removed and that this was due to relinquishment of the cookie by the netfs. At this point fscache no longer has access to the pages of netfs data that were requested to be written, and so simply cancelling the operation is the thing to do.
