Prior to this update, loading the FS-Cache kernel module would cause the kernel to be tainted as a Technology Preview via the mark_tech_preview() function, which would cause kernel lock debugging to be disabled by the add_taint() function. However, the NFS and CIFS modules depend on the FS-Cache module so using either NFS or CIFS would cause the FS-Cache module to be loaded and the kernel tainted. With this update, FS-Cache only taints the kernel when a cache is brought online (for instance by starting the cachefilesd service) and, additionally, the add_taint() function has been modified so that it does not disable lock debugging for informational-only taints.
