Pull parallel filesystem directory handling update from Al Viro.

This is the main parallel directory work by Al that makes the vfs layer
able to do lookup and readdir in parallel within a single directory.
That's a big change, since this used to be all protected by the
directory inode mutex.

The inode mutex is replaced by an rwsem, and serialization of lookups of
a single name is done by a "in-progress" dentry marker.

The series begins with xattr cleanups, and then ends with switching
filesystems over to actually doing the readdir in parallel (switching to
the "iterate_shared()" that only takes the read lock).

A more detailed explanation of the process from Al Viro:
 "The xattr work starts with some acl fixes, then switches ->getxattr to
  passing inode and dentry separately.  This is the point where the
  things start to get tricky - that got merged into the very beginning
  of the -rc3-based #work.lookups, to allow untangling the
  security_d_instantiate() mess.  The xattr work itself proceeds to
  switch a lot of filesystems to generic_...xattr(); no complications
  there.

  After that initial xattr work, the series then does the following:

   - untangle security_d_instantiate()

   - convert a bunch of open-coded lookup_one_len_unlocked() to calls of
     that thing; one such place (in overlayfs) actually yields a trivial
     conflict with overlayfs fixes later in the cycle - overlayfs ended
     up switching to a variant of lookup_one_len_unlocked() sans the
     permission checks.  I would've dropped that commit (it gets
     overridden on merge from #ovl-fixes in #for-next; proper resolution
     is to use the variant in mainline fs/overlayfs/super.c), but I
     didn't want to rebase the damn thing - it was fairly late in the
     cycle...

   - some filesystems had managed to depend on lookup/lookup exclusion
     for *fs-internal* data structures in a way that would break if we
     relaxed the VFS exclusion.  Fixing hadn't been hard, fortunately.

   - core of that series - parallel lookup machinery, replacing
     ->i_mutex with rwsem, making lookup_slow() take it only shared.  At
     that point lookups happen in parallel; lookups on the same name
     wait for the in-progress one to be done with that dentry.

     Surprisingly little code, at that - almost all of it is in
     fs/dcache.c, with fs/namei.c changes limited to lookup_slow() -
     making it use the new primitive and actually switching to locking
     shared.

   - parallel readdir stuff - first of all, we provide the exclusion on
     per-struct file basis, same as we do for read() vs lseek() for
     regular files.  That takes care of most of the needed exclusion in
     readdir/readdir; however, these guys are trickier than lookups, so
     I went for switching them one-by-one.  To do that, a new method
     '->iterate_shared()' is added and filesystems are switched to it
     as they are either confirmed to be OK with shared lock on directory
     or fixed to be OK with that.  I hope to kill the original method
     come next cycle (almost all in-tree filesystems are switched
     already), but it's still not quite finished.

   - several filesystems get switched to parallel readdir.  The
     interesting part here is dealing with dcache preseeding by readdir;
     that needs minor adjustment to be safe with directory locked only
     shared.

     Most of the filesystems doing that got switched to in those
     commits.  Important exception: NFS.  Turns out that NFS folks, with
     their, er, insistence on VFS getting the fuck out of the way of the
     Smart Filesystem Code That Knows How And What To Lock(tm) have
     grown the locking of their own.  They had their own homegrown
     rwsem, with lookup/readdir/atomic_open being *writers* (sillyunlink
     is the reader there).  Of course, with VFS getting the fuck out of
     the way, as requested, the actual smarts of the smart filesystem
     code etc. had become exposed...

   - do_last/lookup_open/atomic_open cleanups.  As the result, open()
     without O_CREAT locks the directory only shared.  Including the
     ->atomic_open() case.  Backmerge from #for-linus in the middle of
     that - atomic_open() fix got brought in.

   - then comes NFS switch to saner (VFS-based ;-) locking, killing the
     homegrown "lookup and readdir are writers" kinda-sorta rwsem.  All
     exclusion for sillyunlink/lookup is done by the parallel lookups
     mechanism.  Exclusion between sillyunlink and rmdir is a real rwsem
     now - rmdir being the writer.

     Result: NFS lookups/readdirs/O_CREAT-less opens happen in parallel
     now.

   - the rest of the series consists of switching a lot of filesystems
     to parallel readdir; in a lot of cases ->llseek() gets simplified
     as well.  One backmerge in there (again, #for-linus - rockridge
     fix)"

3c9fe8cdff vfs: add lookup_hash() helper
Overlayfs needs lookup without inode_permission() and already has the name
hash (in form of dentry->d_name on overlayfs dentry).  It also doesn't
support filesystems with d_op->d_hash() so basically it only needs
the actual hashed lookup from lookup_one_len_unlocked()

So add a new helper that does unlocked lookup of a hashed name.

9409e22acd vfs: rename: check backing inode being equal
If a file is renamed to a hardlink of itself POSIX specifies that rename(2)
should do nothing and return success.

This condition is checked in vfs_rename().  However it won't detect hard
links on overlayfs where these are given separate inodes on the overlayfs
layer.

Overlayfs itself detects this condition and returns success without doing
anything, but then vfs_rename() will proceed as if this was a successful
rename (detach_mounts(), d_move()).

The correct thing to do is to detect this condition before even calling
into overlayfs.  This patch does this by calling vfs_select_inode() to get
the underlying inodes.

d9171b9345 parallel lookups machinery, part 4 (and last)
If we *do* run into an in-lookup match, we need to wait for it to
cease being in-lookup.  Fortunately, we do have unused space in
in-lookup dentries - d_lru is never looked at until it stops being
in-lookup.

So we can stash a pointer to wait_queue_head from stack frame of
the caller of ->lookup().  Some precautions are needed while
waiting, but it's not that hard - we do hold a reference to dentry
we are waiting for, so it can't go away.  If it's found to be
in-lookup the wait_queue_head is still alive and will remain so
at least while ->d_lock is held.  Moreover, the condition we
are waiting for becomes true at the same point where everything
on that wq gets woken up, so we can just add ourselves to the
queue once.

d_alloc_parallel() gets a pointer to wait_queue_head_t from its
caller; lookup_slow() adjusted, d_add_ci() taught to use
d_alloc_parallel() if the dentry passed to it happens to be
in-lookup one (i.e. if it's been called from the parallel lookup).

That's pretty much it - all that remains is to switch ->i_mutex
to rwsem and have lookup_slow() take it shared.

94bdd655ca parallel lookups machinery, part 3
We will need to be able to check if there is an in-lookup
dentry with matching parent/name.  Right now it's impossible,
but as soon as start locking directories shared such beasts
will appear.

Add a secondary hash for locating those.  Hash chains go through
the same space where d_alias will be once it's not in-lookup anymore.
Search is done under the same bitlock we use for modifications -
with the primary hash we can rely on d_rehash() into the wrong
chain being the worst that could happen, but here the pointers are
buggered once it's removed from the chain.  On the other hand,
the chains are not going to be long and normally we'll end up
adding to the chain anyway.  That allows us to avoid bothering with
->d_lock when doing the comparisons - everything is stable until
removed from chain.

New helper: d_alloc_parallel().  Right now it allocates, verifies
that no hashed and in-lookup matches exist and adds to in-lookup
hash.

Returns ERR_PTR() for error, hashed match (in the unlikely case it's
been found) or new dentry.  In-lookup matches trigger BUG() for
now; that will change in the next commit when we introduce waiting
for ongoing lookup to finish.  Note that in-lookup matches won't be
possible until we actually go for shared locking.

lookup_slow() switched to use of d_alloc_parallel().

Again, these commits are separated only for making it easier to
review.  All this machinery will start doing something useful only
when we go for shared locking; it's just that the combination is
too large for my taste.

85c7f81041 beginning of transition to parallel lookups - marking in-lookup dentries
marked as such when (would be) parallel lookup is about to pass them
to actual ->lookup(); unmarked when
	* __d_add() is about to make it hashed, positive or not.
	* __d_move() (from d_splice_alias(), directly or via
__d_unalias()) puts a preexisting dentry in its place
	* in caller of ->lookup() if it has escaped all of the
above.  Bug (WARN_ON, actually) if it reaches the final dput()
or d_instantiate() while still marked such.

As the result, we are guaranteed that for as long as the flag is
set, dentry will
	* remain negative unhashed with positive refcount
	* never have its ->d_alias looked at
	* never have its ->d_lru looked at
	* never have its ->d_parent and ->d_name changed

Right now we have at most one such for any given parent directory.
With parallel lookups that restriction will weaken to
	* only exist when parent is locked shared
	* at most one with given (parent,name) pair (comparison of
names is according to ->d_compare())
	* only exist when there's no hashed dentry with the same
(parent,name)

Transition will take the next several commits; unfortunately, we'll
only be able to switch to rwsem at the end of this series.  The
reason for not making it a single patch is to simplify review.

New primitives: d_in_lookup() (a predicate checking if dentry is in
the in-lookup state) and d_lookup_done() (tells the system that
we are done with lookup and if it's still marked as in-lookup, it
should cease to be such).

10c64cea04 atomic_open(): fix the handling of create_error
* if we have a hashed negative dentry and either CREAT|EXCL on
r/o filesystem, or CREAT|TRUNC on r/o filesystem, or CREAT|EXCL
with failing may_o_create(), we should fail with EROFS or the
error may_o_create() has returned, but not ENOENT.  Which is what
the current code ends up returning.

* if we have CREAT|TRUNC hitting a regular file on a read-only
filesystem, we can't fail with EROFS here.  At the very least,
not until we'd done follow_managed() - we might have a writable
file (or a device, for that matter) bound on top of that one.
Moreover, the code downstream will see that O_TRUNC and attempt
to grab the write access (*after* following possible mount), so
if we really should fail with EROFS, it will happen.  No need
to do that inside atomic_open().

The real logics is much simpler than what the current code is
trying to do - if we decided to go for simple lookup, ended
up with a negative dentry *and* had create_error set, fail with
create_error.  No matter whether we'd got that negative dentry
from lookup_real() or had found it in dcache.

b8a7a3a667 posix_acl: Inode acl caching fixes
When get_acl() is called for an inode whose ACL is not cached yet, the
get_acl inode operation is called to fetch the ACL from the filesystem.
The inode operation is responsible for updating the cached acl with
set_cached_acl().  This is done without locking at the VFS level, so
another task can call set_cached_acl() or forget_cached_acl() before the
get_acl inode operation gets to calling set_cached_acl(), and then
get_acl's call to set_cached_acl() results in caching an outdate ACL.

Prevent this from happening by setting the cached ACL pointer to a
task-specific sentinel value before calling the get_acl inode operation.
Move the responsibility for updating the cached ACL from the get_acl
inode operations to get_acl().  There, only set the cached ACL if the
sentinel value hasn't changed.

The sentinel values are chosen to have odd values.  Likewise, the value
of ACL_NOT_CACHED is odd.  In contrast, ACL object pointers always have
an even value (ACLs are aligned in memory).  This allows to distinguish
uncached ACLs values from ACL objects.

In addition, switch from guarding inode->i_acl and inode->i_default_acl
upates by the inode->i_lock spinlock to using xchg() and cmpxchg().

Filesystems that do not want ACLs returned from their get_acl inode
operations to be cached must call forget_cached_acl() to prevent the VFS
from doing so.

c80567c82a do_last(): don't let a bogus return value from ->open() et.al. to confuse us
... into returning a positive to path_openat(), which would interpret that
as "symlink had been encountered" and proceed to corrupt memory, etc.
It can only happen due to a bug in some ->open() instance or in some LSM
hook, etc., so we report any such event *and* make sure it doesn't trick
us into further unpleasantness.

5955102c99 wrappers for ->i_mutex access
parallel to mutex_{lock,unlock,trylock,is_locked,lock_nested},
inode_foo(inode) being mutex_foo(&inode->i_mutex).

Please, use those for access to ->i_mutex; over the coming cycle
->i_mutex will become rwsem, with ->lookup() done with it held
only shared.

Linus Torvalds
33caf82acf Merge branch 'work.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "All kinds of stuff.  That probably should've been 5 or 6 separate
  branches, but by the time I'd realized how large and mixed that bag
  had become it had been too close to -final to play with rebasing.

  Some fs/namei.c cleanups there, memdup_user_nul() introduction and
  switching open-coded instances, burying long-dead code, whack-a-mole
  of various kinds, several new helpers for ->llseek(), assorted
  cleanups and fixes from various people, etc.

  One piece probably deserves special mention - Neil's
  lookup_one_len_unlocked().  Similar to lookup_one_len(), but gets
  called without ->i_mutex and tries to avoid ever taking it.  That, of
  course, means that it's not useful for any directory modifications,
  but things like getting inode attributes in nfds readdirplus are fine
  with that.  I really should've asked for moratorium on lookup-related
  changes this cycle, but since I hadn't done that early enough...  I
  *am* asking for that for the coming cycle, though - I'm going to try
  and get conversion of i_mutex to rwsem with ->lookup() done under lock
  taken shared.

  There will be a patch closer to the end of the window, along the lines
  of the one Linus had posted last May - mechanical conversion of
  ->i_mutex accesses to inode_lock()/inode_unlock()/inode_trylock()/
  inode_is_locked()/inode_lock_nested().  To quote Linus back then:

    -----
    |    This is an automated patch using
    |
    |        sed 's/mutex_lock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_lock(\1)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_unlock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_unlock(\1)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_lock_nested(&\(.*\)->i_mutex,[     ]*I_MUTEX_\([A-Z0-9_]*\))/inode_lock_nested(\1, I_MUTEX_\2)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_is_locked(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_is_locked(\1)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_trylock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_trylock(\1)/'
    |
    |    with a very few manual fixups
    -----

  I'm going to send that once the ->i_mutex-affecting stuff in -next
  gets mostly merged (or when Linus says he's about to stop taking
  merges)"

bbddca8e8f nfsd: don't hold i_mutex over userspace upcalls
We need information about exports when crossing mountpoints during
lookup or NFSv4 readdir.  If we don't already have that information
cached, we may have to ask (and wait for) rpc.mountd.

In both cases we currently hold the i_mutex on the parent of the
directory we're asking rpc.mountd about.  We've seen situations where
rpc.mountd performs some operation on that directory that tries to take
the i_mutex again, resulting in deadlock.

With some care, we may be able to avoid that in rpc.mountd.  But it
seems better just to avoid holding a mutex while waiting on userspace.

It appears that lookup_one_len is pretty much the only operation that
needs the i_mutex.  So we could just drop the i_mutex elsewhere and do
something like

	mutex_lock()
	lookup_one_len()
	mutex_unlock()

In many cases though the lookup would have been cached and not required
the i_mutex, so it's more efficient to create a lookup_one_len() variant
that only takes the i_mutex when necessary.
