nfs_lookup() used to consult a lookup cache before trying an actual wire
lookup operation. The lookup cache would be invalid, of course, if the
parent directory's mtime had changed, so nfs_lookup performed an inode
revalidation on the parent.
Since nfs_lookup() doesn't use a cache anymore, the revalidation is no
longer necessary. There are cases where it will generate a lot of
unnecessary GETATTR traffic.
See http://bugzilla.linux-nfs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9
Test-plan:
Use lndir and "rm -rf" and watch for excess GETATTR traffic or application
level errors.

Since we almost always call nfs_end_data_update() after we called
nfs_refresh_inode(), we now end up marking the inode metadata
as needing revalidation immediately after having updated it.
This patch rearranges things so that we mark the inode as needing
revalidation _before_ we call nfs_refresh_inode() on those operations
that need it.

If the server is in the unconfirmed OPEN state for a given open owner
and receives a second OPEN for the same open owner, it will cancel the
state of the first request and set up an OPEN_CONFIRM for the second.
This can cause a race that is discussed in rfc3530 on page 181.

NFSv4 file state-changing functions such as OPEN, CLOSE, LOCK,... are all
labelled with "sequence identifiers" in order to prevent the server from
reordering RPC requests, as this could cause its file state to
become out of sync with the client.
Currently the NFS client code enforces this ordering locally using
semaphores to restrict access to structures until the RPC call is done.
This, of course, only works with synchronous RPC calls, since the
user process must first grab the semaphore.
By dropping semaphores, and instead teaching the RPC engine to hold
the RPC calls until they are ready to be sent, we can extend this
process to work nicely with asynchronous RPC calls too.
This patch adds a new list called "rpc_sequence" that defines the order
of the RPC calls to be sent. We add one such list for each state_owner.
When an RPC call is ready to be sent, it checks if it is top of the
rpc_sequence list. If so, it proceeds. If not, it goes back to sleep,
and loops until it hits top of the list.
Once the RPC call has completed, it can then bump the sequence id counter,
and remove itself from the rpc_sequence list, and then wake up the next
sleeper.
Note that the state_owner sequence ids and lock_owner sequence ids are
all indexed to the same rpc_sequence list, so OPEN, LOCK,... requests
are all ordered w.r.t. each other.

Currently rpc_mkdir/rpc_rmdir and rpc_mkpipe/mk_unlink have an API that's
a little unfortunate. They take a path relative to the rpc_pipefs root and
thus need to perform a full lookup. If you look at debugfs or usbfs they
always store the dentry for directories they created and thus can pass in
a dentry + single pathname component pair into their equivalents of the
above functions.
And in fact rpc_pipefs actually stores a dentry for all but one component so
this change not only simplifies the core rpc_pipe code but also the callers.
Unfortuntately this code path is only used by the NFS4 idmapper and
AUTH_GSSAPI for which I don't have a test enviroment. Could someone give
it a spin? It's the last bit needed before we can rework the
lookup_hash API

This bug could cause oopses and page state corruption, because ncpfs
used the generic page-cache symlink handlign functions. But those
functions only work if the page cache is guaranteed to be "stable", ie a
page that was installed when the symlink walk was started has to still
be installed in the page cache at the end of the walk.
We could have fixed ncpfs to not use the generic helper routines, but it
is in many ways much cleaner to instead improve on the symlink walking
helper routines so that they don't require that absolute stability.
We do this by allowing "follow_link()" to return a error-pointer as a
cookie, which is fed back to the cleanup "put_link()" routine. This
also simplifies NFS symlink handling.

Down the road we want to eliminate the use of the global kernel lock entirely
from the NFS client. To do this, we need to protect the fields in the
nfs_inode structure adequately. Start by serializing updates to the
"cache_validity" field.
Note this change addresses an SMP hang found by njw@osdl.org, where processes
deadlock because nfs_end_data_update and nfs_revalidate_mapping update the
"cache_validity" field without proper serialization.

Introduce atomic bitops to manipulate the bits in the nfs_inode structure's
"flags" field.
Using bitops means we can use a generic wait_on_bit call instead of an ad hoc
locking scheme in fs/nfs/inode.c, so we can remove the "nfs_i_wait" field from
nfs_inode at the same time.
The other new flags field will continue to use bitmask and logic AND and OR.
This permits several flags to be set at the same time efficiently. The
following patch adds a spin lock to protect these flags, and this spin lock
will later cover other fields in the nfs_inode structure, amortizing the cost
of using this type of serialization.

When the client performs an exclusive create and opens the file for writing,
a Netapp filer will first create the file using the mode 01777. It does this
since an NFSv3/v4 exclusive create cannot immediately set the mode bits.
The 01777 mode then gets put into the inode->i_mode. After the file creation
is successful, we then do a setattr to change the mode to the correct value
(as per the NFS spec).
The problem is that nfs_refresh_inode() no longer updates inode->i_mode, so
the latter retains the 01777 mode. A bit later, the VFS notices this, and calls
remove_suid(). This of course now resets the file mode to inode->i_mode & 0777.
Hey presto, the file mode on the server is now magically changed to 0777. Duh...
