176306f59a VFS: fix recent breakage of FS_REVAL_DOT
Commit 1f36f774b2 broke FS_REVAL_DOT semantics.

In particular, before this patch, the command
   ls -l
in an NFS mounted directory would always check if the directory on the server
had changed and if so would flush and refill the pagecache for the dir.
After this patch, the same "ls -l" will repeatedly return stale date until
the cached attributes for the directory time out.

The following patch fixes this by ensuring the d_revalidate is called by
do_last when "." is being looked-up.
link_path_walk has already called d_revalidate, but in that case LOOKUP_OPEN
is not set so nfs_lookup_verify_inode chooses not to do any validation.

The following patch restores the original behaviour.

d83c49f3e3 Fix the regression created by "set S_DEAD on unlink()..." commit
1) i_flags simply doesn't work for mount/unlink race prevention;
we may have many links to file and rm on one of those obviously
shouldn't prevent bind on top of another later on.  To fix it
right way we need to mark _dentry_ as unsuitable for mounting
upon; new flag (DCACHE_CANT_MOUNT) is protected by d_flags and
i_mutex on the inode in question.  Set it (with dont_mount(dentry))
in unlink/rmdir/etc., check (with cant_mount(dentry)) in places
in namespace.c that used to check for S_DEAD.  Setting S_DEAD
is still needed in places where we used to set it (for directories
getting killed), since we rely on it for readdir/rmdir race
prevention.

2) rename()/mount() protection has another bogosity - we unhash
the target before we'd checked that it's not a mountpoint.  Fixed.

3) ancient bogosity in pivot_root() - we locked i_mutex on the
right directory, but checked S_DEAD on the different (and wrong)
one.  Noticed and fixed.

002baeecf5 vfs: Fix O_NOFOLLOW behavior for paths with trailing slashes
According to specification

	mkdir d; ln -s d a; open("a/", O_NOFOLLOW | O_RDONLY)

should return success but currently it returns ELOOP.  This is a
regression caused by path lookup cleanup patch series.

Fix the code to ignore O_NOFOLLOW in case the provided path has trailing
slashes.

c99658fe97 bail out with ELOOP earlier in do_link loop
If we'd passed through 32 trailing symlinks already, there's
no sense following the 33rd - we'll bail out anyway.  Better
bugger off earlier.

It *does* change behaviour, after a fashion - if the 33rd happens
to be a procfs-style symlink, original code *would* allow it.

907f4554e2 dquot: move dquot initialization responsibility into the filesystem
Currently various places in the VFS call vfs_dq_init directly.  This means
we tie the quota code into the VFS.  Get rid of that and make the
filesystem responsible for the initialization.   For most metadata operations
this is a straight forward move into the methods, but for truncate and
open it's a bit more complicated.

For truncate we currently only call vfs_dq_init for the sys_truncate case
because open already takes care of it for ftruncate and open(O_TRUNC) - the
new code causes an additional vfs_dq_init for those which is harmless.

For open the initialization is moved from do_filp_open into the open method,
which means it happens slightly earlier now, and only for regular files.
The latter is fine because we don't need to initialize it for operations
on special files, and we already do it as part of the namespace operations
for directories.

Add a dquot_file_open helper that filesystems that support generic quotas
can use to fill in ->open.

8eb988c70e fix ima breakage
The "Untangling ima mess, part 2 with counters" patch messed
up the counters.  Based on conversations with Al Viro, this patch
streamlines ima_path_check() by removing the counter maintaince.
The counters are now updated independently, from measuring the file,
in __dentry_open() and alloc_file() by calling ima_counts_get().
ima_path_check() is called from nfsd and do_filp_open().
It also did not measure all files that should have been measured.
Reason: ima_path_check() got bogus value passed as mask.

86acdca1b6 fix autofs/afs/etc. magic mountpoint breakage
We end up trying to kfree() nd.last.name on open("/mnt/tmp", O_CREAT)
if /mnt/tmp is an autofs direct mount.  The reason is that nd.last_type
is bogus here; we want LAST_BIND for everything of that kind and we
get LAST_NORM left over from finding parent directory.

So make sure that it *is* set properly; set to LAST_BIND before
doing ->follow_link() - for normal symlinks it will be changed
by __vfs_follow_link() and everything else needs it set that way.

39159de2a0 vfs: force reval of target when following LAST_BIND symlinks (try #7)
procfs-style symlinks return a last_type of LAST_BIND without an actual
path string. This causes __follow_link to skip calling __vfs_follow_link
and so the dentry isn't revalidated.

This is a problem when the link target sits on NFSv4 as it depends on
the VFS to revalidate the dentry before using it on an open call. Ensure
that this occurs by forcing a revalidation of the target dentry of
LAST_BIND symlinks.

832b6af198 sysfs: Propagate renames to the vfs on demand
By teaching sysfs_revalidate to hide a dentry for
a sysfs_dirent if the sysfs_dirent has been renamed,
and by teaching sysfs_lookup to return the original
dentry if the sysfs dirent has been renamed.  I can
show the results of renames correctly without having to
update the dcache during the directory rename.

This massively simplifies the rename logic allowing a lot
of weird sysfs special cases to be removed along with
a lot of now unnecesary helper code.

6b2f3d1f76 vfs: Implement proper O_SYNC semantics
While Linux provided an O_SYNC flag basically since day 1, it took until
Linux 2.4.0-test12pre2 to actually get it implemented for filesystems,
since that day we had generic_osync_around with only minor changes and the
great "For now, when the user asks for O_SYNC, we'll actually give
O_DSYNC" comment.  This patch intends to actually give us real O_SYNC
semantics in addition to the O_DSYNC semantics.  After Jan's O_SYNC
patches which are required before this patch it's actually surprisingly
simple, we just need to figure out when to set the datasync flag to
vfs_fsync_range and when not.

This patch renames the existing O_SYNC flag to O_DSYNC while keeping it's
numerical value to keep binary compatibility, and adds a new real O_SYNC
flag.  To guarantee backwards compatiblity it is defined as expanding to
both the O_DSYNC and the new additional binary flag (__O_SYNC) to make
sure we are backwards-compatible when compiled against the new headers.

This also means that all places that don't care about the differences can
just check O_DSYNC and get the right behaviour for O_SYNC, too - only
places that actuall care need to check __O_SYNC in addition.  Drivers and
network filesystems have been updated in a fail safe way to always do the
full sync magic if O_DSYNC is set.  The few places setting O_SYNC for
lower layers are kept that way for now to stay failsafe.

We enforce that O_DSYNC is set when __O_SYNC is set early in the open path
to make sure we always get these sane options.

Note that parisc really screwed up their headers as they already define a
O_DSYNC that has always been a no-op.  We try to repair it by using it for
the new O_DSYNC and redefinining O_SYNC to send both the traditional
O_SYNC numerical value _and_ the O_DSYNC one.

5909ccaa30 Make 'check_acl()' a first-class filesystem op
This is stage one in flattening out the callchains for the common
permission testing.  Rather than have most filesystem implement their
own inode->i_op->permission function that just calls back down to the
VFS layers 'generic_permission()' with the per-filesystem ACL checking
function, the filesystem can just expose its 'check_acl' function
directly, and let the VFS layer do everything for it.

This is all just preparatory - no filesystem actually enables this yet.

cb9179ead0 Simplify exec_permission_lite(), part 3
Don't call down to the generic inode_permission() function just to
call the inode-specific permission function - just do it directly.

The generic inode_permission() code does things like checking MAY_WRITE
and devcgroup_inode_permission(), neither of which are relevant for the
light pathname walk permission checks (we always do just MAY_EXEC, and
the inode is never a special device).

copy current->fs->root there.  After path_walk() is finished, we check
if we'd got a cached value in nd->root and drop it.  Before calling
path_walk() we should either set nd->root.mnt to NULL *or* copy (and
pin down) some path to nd->root.  In the latter case we won't be
looking at current->fs->root at all.

2f9092e102 Fix i_mutex vs. readdir handling in nfsd
Commit 14f7dd63 ("Copy XFS readdir hack into nfsd code") introduced a
bug to generic code which had been extant for a long time in the XFS
version -- it started to call through into lookup_one_len() and hence
into the file systems' ->lookup() methods without i_mutex held on the
directory.

This patch fixes it by locking the directory's i_mutex again before
calling the filldir functions. The original deadlocks which commit
14f7dd63 was designed to avoid are still avoided, because they were due
to fs-internal locking, not i_mutex.

While we're at it, fix the return type of nfsd_buffered_readdir() which
should be a __be32 not an int -- it's an NFS errno, not a Linux errno.
And return nfserrno(-ENOMEM) when allocation fails, not just -ENOMEM.
Sparse would have caught that, if it wasn't so busy bitching about
__cold__.

Commit 05f4f678 ("nfsd4: don't do lookup within readdir in recovery
code") introduced a similar problem with calling lookup_one_len()
without i_mutex, which this patch also addresses. To fix that, it was
necessary to fix the called functions so that they expect i_mutex to be
held; that part was done by J. Bruce Fields.

The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
called.  It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
take the page lock.  The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
anyway, so turn that into a single flag.

Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS.  Filesystems can now act on
this flag in their write_begin function.  Change __grab_cache_page to
accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
and does away with random leading underscores).

This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg.  ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
random example).

1239f26c05 make INIT_FS use the __RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED initialization
[AV: rediffed on top of unification of init_fs]
Initialization of init_fs still uses the deprecated RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED macro.
This patch updates it to use the __RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED(lock) macro.

cb23beb551 kill vfs_permission
With all the nameidata removal there's no point anymore for this helper.
Of the three callers left two will go away with the next lookup series
anyway.

Also add proper kerneldoc to inode_permission as this is the main
permission check routine now.

No need for the nameidata in may_open - a struct path is enough.
