Implement a register of caches and provide functions to manage it.
Two functions are provided for the cache backend to use:
(1) Acquire a cache cookie:
struct fscache_cache *fscache_acquire_cache(const char *name)
This gets the cache cookie for a cache of the specified name and moves
it to the preparation state. If a nameless cache cookie exists, that
will be given this name and used.
(2) Relinquish a cache cookie:
void fscache_relinquish_cache(struct fscache_cache *cache);
This relinquishes a cache cookie, cleans it and makes it available if
it's still referenced by a network filesystem.
Note that network filesystems don't deal with cache cookies directly, but
rather go straight to the volume registration.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
