      fs: fs_struct rwlock to spinlock
      
      struct fs_struct.lock is an rwlock with the read-side used to protect root and
      pwd members while taking references to them. Taking a reference to a path
      typically requires just 2 atomic ops, so the critical section is very small.
      Parallel read-side operations would have cacheline contention on the lock, the
      dentry, and the vfsmount cachelines, so the rwlock is unlikely to ever give a
      real parallelism increase.
      
      Replace it with a spinlock to avoid one or two atomic operations in typical
      path lookup fastpath.

      Get rid of indirect include of fs_struct.h · 5ad4e53b
      Al Viro 提交于
      Don't pull it in sched.h; very few files actually need it and those
      can include directly.  sched.h itself only needs forward declaration
      of struct fs_struct;

      New helper - current_umask() · ce3b0f8d
      Al Viro 提交于
      current->fs->umask is what most of fs_struct users are doing.
      Put that into a helper function.

      New locking/refcounting for fs_struct · 498052bb
      Al Viro 提交于
      * all changes of current->fs are done under task_lock and write_lock of
        old fs->lock
      * refcount is not atomic anymore (same protection)
      * its decrements are done when removing reference from current; at the
        same time we decide whether to free it.
      * put_fs_struct() is gone
      * new field - ->in_exec.  Set by check_unsafe_exec() if we are trying to do
        execve() and only subthreads share fs_struct.  Cleared when finishing exec
        (success and failure alike).  Makes CLONE_FS fail with -EAGAIN if set.
      * check_unsafe_exec() may fail with -EAGAIN if another execve() from subthread
        is in progress.

      Take fs_struct handling to new file (fs/fs_struct.c) · 3e93cd67
      Al Viro 提交于
      Pure code move; two new helper functions for nfsd and daemonize
      (unshare_fs_struct() and daemonize_fs_struct() resp.; for now -
      the same code as used to be in callers).  unshare_fs_struct()
      exported (for nfsd, as copy_fs_struct()/exit_fs() used to be),
      copy_fs_struct() and exit_fs() don't need exports anymore.
