2018-06-19Add a new cache policy FSCACHE_WRITETHROUGH.Nicolas Lacasse
The new policy is identical to FSCACHE (which caches everything in memory), but it also flushes writes to the backing fs agent immediately. All gofer cache policy decisions have been moved into the cachePolicy type. Previously they were sprinkled around the codebase. There are many different things that we cache (page cache, negative dirents, dirent LRU, unstable attrs, readdir results....), and I don't think we should have individual flags to control each of these. Instead, we should have a few high-level cache policies that are consistent and useful to users. This refactoring makes it easy to add more such policies.
