Not all filesystems now provide the rename i_op - ext4 for one - but rather provide the rename2 i_op. CacheFiles checks that the filesystem has rename and so will reject ext4 now with EPERM:
CacheFiles: Failed to register: -1 Fix this by checking for rename2 as an alternative. The call to vfs_rename() actually handles selection of the appropriate function, so we needn't worry about that. Turning on debugging shows: [cachef] ==> cachefiles_get_directory(,,cache) [cachef] subdir -> ffff88000b22b778 positive [cachef] <== cachefiles_get_directory() = -1 [check] where -1 is EPERM.
