7813b94a54 vfs: rename 'do_follow_link' to 'should_follow_link'
Al points out that the do_follow_link() helper function really is
misnamed - it's about whether we should try to follow a symlink or not,
not about actually doing the following.

206b1d09a5 Fix POSIX ACL permission check
After commit 3567866bf2: "RCUify freeing acls, let check_acl() go ahead in
RCU mode if acl is cached" posix_acl_permission is being called with an
unsupported flag and the permission check fails. This patch fixes the issue.

3ddcd0569c vfs: optimize inode cache access patterns
The inode structure layout is largely random, and some of the vfs paths
really do care.  The path lookup in particular is already quite D$
intensive, and profiles show that accessing the 'inode->i_op->xyz'
fields is quite costly.

We already optimized the dcache to not unnecessarily load the d_op
structure for members that are often NULL using the DCACHE_OP_xyz bits
in dentry->d_flags, and this does something very similar for the inode
ops that are used during pathname lookup.

It also re-orders the fields so that the fields accessed by 'stat' are
together at the beginning of the inode structure, and roughly in the
order accessed.

The effect of this seems to be in the 1-2% range for an empty kernel
"make -j" run (which is fairly kernel-intensive, mostly in filename
lookup), so it's visible.  The numbers are fairly noisy, though, and
likely depend a lot on exact microarchitecture.  So there's more tuning
to be done.

84635d68be vfs: fix check_acl compile error when CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL is not set
Commit e77819e57f ("vfs: move ACL cache lookup into generic code")

14067ff536 vfs: make gcc generate more obvious code for acl permission checking
The "fsuid is the inode owner" case is not necessarily always the likely

e77819e57f vfs: move ACL cache lookup into generic code
This moves logic for checking the cached ACL values from low-level
filesystems into generic code.  The end result is a streamlined ACL
check that doesn't need to load the inode->i_op->check_acl pointer at
all for the common cached case.

The filesystems also don't need to check for a non-blocking RCU walk
case in their acl_check() functions, because that is all handled at a
VFS layer.

capability overrides apply only to the default case; if fs has ->permission()
that does _not_ call generic_permission(), we have no business doing them.
Moreover, if it has ->permission() that does call generic_permission(), we
have no need to recheck capabilities.

Besides, the capability overrides should apply only if we got EACCES from
acl_permission_check(); any other value (-EIO, etc.) should be returned
to caller, capabilities or not capabilities.

44396f4b5c fs: add a DCACHE_NEED_LOOKUP flag for d_flags
Btrfs (and I'd venture most other fs's) stores its indexes in nice disk order
for readdir, but unfortunately in the case of anything that stats the files in
order that readdir spits back (like oh say ls) that means we still have to do
the normal lookup of the file, which means looking up our other index and then
looking up the inode.  What I want is a way to create dummy dentries when we
find them in readdir so that when ls or anything else subsequently does a
stat(), we already have the location information in the dentry and can go
straight to the inode itself.  The lookup stuff just assumes that if it finds a
dentry it is done, it doesn't perform a lookup.  So add a DCACHE_NEED_LOOKUP
flag so that the lookup code knows it still needs to run i_op->lookup() on the
parent to get the inode for the dentry.  I have tested this with btrfs and I
went from something that looks like this

To this

8aef188452 VFS: Fix vfsmount overput on simultaneous automount
[Kudos to dhowells for tracking that crap down]

If two processes attempt to cause automounting on the same mountpoint at the
same time, the vfsmount holding the mountpoint will be left with one too few
references on it, causing a BUG when the kernel tries to clean up.

The problem is that lock_mount() drops the caller's reference to the
mountpoint's vfsmount in the case where it finds something already mounted on
the mountpoint as it transits to the mounted filesystem and replaces path->mnt
with the new mountpoint vfsmount.

During a pathwalk, however, we don't take a reference on the vfsmount if it is
the same as the one in the nameidata struct, but do_add_mount() doesn't know
this.

The fix is to make sure we have a ref on the vfsmount of the mountpoint before
calling do_add_mount().  However, if lock_mount() doesn't transit, we're then
left with an extra ref on the mountpoint vfsmount which needs releasing.
We can handle that in follow_managed() by not making assumptions about what
we can and what we cannot get from lookup_mnt() as the current code does.

The callers of follow_managed() expect that reference to path->mnt will be
grabbed iff path->mnt has been changed.  follow_managed() and follow_automount()
keep track of whether such reference has been grabbed and assume that it'll
happen in those and only those cases that'll have us return with changed
path->mnt.  That assumption is almost correct - it breaks in case of
racing automounts and in even harder to hit race between following a mountpoint
and a couple of mount --move.  The thing is, we don't need to make that
assumption at all - after the end of loop in follow_manage() we can check
if path->mnt has ended up unchanged and do mntput() if needed.

The BUG can be reproduced with the following test program:

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <sys/types.h>
	#include <sys/stat.h>
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <sys/wait.h>
	int main(int argc, char **argv)
	{
		int pid, ws;
		struct stat buf;
		pid = fork();
		stat(argv[1], &buf);
		if (pid > 0) wait(&ws);
		return 0;
	}

and the following procedure:

 (1) Mount an NFS volume that on the server has something else mounted on a
     subdirectory.  For instance, I can mount / from my server:

	mount warthog:/ /mnt -t nfs4 -r

     On the server /data has another filesystem mounted on it, so NFS will see
     a change in FSID as it walks down the path, and will mark /mnt/data as
     being a mountpoint.  This will cause the automount code to be triggered.

     !!! Do not look inside the mounted fs at this point !!!

 (2) Run the above program on a file within the submount to generate two
     simultaneous automount requests:

	/tmp/forkstat /mnt/data/testfile

 (3) Unmount the automounted submount:

	umount /mnt/data

 (4) Unmount the original mount:

	umount /mnt

     At this point the kernel should throw a BUG with something like the
     following:

	BUG: Dentry ffff880032e3c5c0{i=2,n=} still in use (1) [unmount of nfs4 0:12]

Note that the bug appears on the root dentry of the original mount, not the
mountpoint and not the submount because sys_umount() hasn't got to its final
mntput_no_expire() yet, but this isn't so obvious from the call trace:

as do_umount() is inlined.  However, you can see release_mounts() in there.

Note also that it may be necessary to have multiple CPU cores to be able to
trigger this bug.

A reliable way to reproduce this bug is:
Login to KDE, run 'rsnapshot sync', and apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk,
and apt-get remove openjdk-6-jdk.

The buggy part of the patch is this:
	struct inode *inode = NULL;
.....
-               if (nd.last.name[nd.last.len])
-                       goto slashes;
                inode = dentry->d_inode;
-               if (inode)
-                       ihold(inode);
+               if (nd.last.name[nd.last.len] || !inode)
+                       goto slashes;
+               ihold(inode)
...
	if (inode)
		iput(inode);	/* truncate the inode here */

If nd.last.name[nd.last.len] is nonzero (and thus goto slashes branch is taken),
and dentry->d_inode is non-NULL, then this code now does an additional iput on
the inode, which is wrong.

Fix this by only setting the inode variable if nd.last.name[nd.last.len] is 0.

b5afd2c406 vfs: fix vfs_rename_dir for FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE filesystems
vfs_rename_dir() doesn't properly account for filesystems with
FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE.  If new_dentry has a target inode attached, it
unhashes the new_dentry prior to the rename() iop and rehashes it after,
but doesn't account for the possibility that rename() may have swapped
{old,new}_dentry.  For FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE filesystems, it rehashes
new_dentry (now the old renamed-from name, which d_move() expected to go
away), such that a subsequent lookup will find it.  Currently all
FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE filesystems compensate for this by failing in
d_revalidate.

The bug was introduced by: commit 349457ccf2
"[PATCH] Allow file systems to manually d_move() inside of ->rename()"

Fix by not rehashing the new dentry.  Rehashing used to be needed by
d_move() but isn't anymore.

The helper is now only called by file systems, not the VFS.
