There are a few d_obtain_alias callers that are using it to get the
root of a filesystem which may already have an alias somewhere else.

This is not the same as the filehandle-lookup case, and none of them
actually need DCACHE_DISCONNECTED set.

It isn't really a serious problem, but it would really be clearer if we
reserved DCACHE_DISCONNECTED for those cases where it's actually needed.

In the btrfs case this was causing a spurious printk from
nfsd/nfsfh.c:fh_verify when it found an unexpected DCACHE_DISCONNECTED
dentry.  Josef worked around this by unsetting DCACHE_DISCONNECTED
manually in 3a0dfa6a "Btrfs: unset DCACHE_DISCONNECTED when mounting
default subvol", and this replaces that workaround.

Any IS_ROOT() alias should be safe to use; there's nothing special about
DCACHE_DISCONNECTED dentries.

Note that this is in fact useful for filesystems such as btrfs which can
legimately encounter a directory with a preexisting IS_ROOT alias on a
lookup that crosses into a subvolume.  (Those aliases are currently
marked DCACHE_DISCONNECTED--but not really for any good reason, and
we'll change that soon.)

Currently if d_splice_alias finds a directory with an alias that is not
IS_ROOT or not DCACHE_DISCONNECTED, it creates a duplicate directory.

Duplicate directory dentries are unacceptable; it is better just to
error out.

(In the case of a local filesystem the most likely case is filesystem
corruption: for example, perhaps two directories point to the same child
directory, and the other parent has already been found and cached.)

Note that distributed filesystems may encounter this case in normal
operation if a remote host moves a directory to a location different
from the one we last cached in the dcache.  For that reason, such
filesystems should instead use d_materialise_unique, which tries to move
the old directory alias to the right place instead of erroring out.

d_splice_alias will d_move an IS_ROOT() directory dentry into place if
one exists.  This should be safe as long as the dentry remains IS_ROOT,
but I can't see what guarantees that: once we drop the i_lock all we
hold here is the i_mutex on an unrelated parent directory.

Instead copy the logic of d_materialise_unique.

Dentry that had been through (or into) __dentry_kill() might be seen
by shrink_dentry_list(); that's normal, it'll be taken off the shrink
list and freed if __dentry_kill() has already finished.  The problem
is, its ->d_parent might be pointing to already freed dentry, so
lock_parent() needs to be careful.

We need to check that dentry hasn't already gone into __dentry_kill()
*and* grab rcu_read_lock() before dropping ->d_lock - the latter makes
sure that whatever we see in ->d_parent after dropping ->d_lock it
won't be freed until we drop rcu_read_lock().

We have the same problem with ->d_lock order in the inner loop, where
we are dropping references to ancestors.  Same solution, basically -
instead of using dentry_kill() we use lock_parent() (introduced in the
previous commit) to get that lock in a safe way, recheck ->d_count
(in case if lock_parent() has ended up dropping and retaking ->d_lock
and somebody managed to grab a reference during that window), trylock
the inode->i_lock and use __dentry_kill() to do the rest.
Signed-off-by: NAl Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

The cause of livelocks there is that we are taking ->d_lock on
dentry and its parent in the wrong order, forcing us to use
trylock on the parent's one.  d_walk() takes them in the right
order, and unfortunately it's not hard to create a situation
when shrink_dentry_list() can't make progress since trylock
keeps failing, and shrink_dcache_parent() or check_submounts_and_drop()
keeps calling d_walk() disrupting the very shrink_dentry_list() it's
waiting for.

Solution is straightforward - if that trylock fails, let's unlock
the dentry itself and take locks in the right order.  We need to
stabilize ->d_parent without holding ->d_lock, but that's doable
using RCU.  And we'd better do that in the very beginning of the
loop in shrink_dentry_list(), since the checks on refcount, etc.
would need to be redone anyway.

That deals with a half of the problem - killing dentries on the
shrink list itself.  Another one (dropping their parents) is
in the next commit.

locking parent is interesting - it would be easy to do rcu_read_lock(),
lock whatever we think is a parent, lock dentry itself and check
if the parent is still the right one.  Except that we need to check
that *before* locking the dentry, or we are risking taking ->d_lock
out of order.  Fortunately, once the D1 is locked, we can check if
D2->d_parent is equal to D1 without the need to lock D2; D2->d_parent
can start or stop pointing to D1 only under D1->d_lock, so taking
D1->d_lock is enough.  In other words, the right solution is
rcu_read_lock/lock what looks like parent right now/check if it's
still our parent/rcu_read_unlock/lock the child.

in non-lazy walk we need to be careful about dentry switching from
negative to positive - both ->d_flags and ->d_inode are updated,
and in some places we might see only one store.  The cases where
dentry has been obtained by dcache lookup with ->i_mutex held on
parent are safe - ->d_lock and ->i_mutex provide all the barriers
we need.  However, there are several places where we run into
trouble:
	* do_last() fetches ->d_inode, then checks ->d_flags and
assumes that inode won't be NULL unless d_is_negative() is true.
Race with e.g. creat() - we might have fetched the old value of
->d_inode (still NULL) and new value of ->d_flags (already not
DCACHE_MISS_TYPE).  Lin Ming has observed and reported the resulting
oops.
	* a bunch of places checks ->d_inode for being non-NULL,
then checks ->d_flags for "is it a symlink".  Race with symlink(2)
in case if our CPU sees ->d_inode update first - we see non-NULL
there, but ->d_flags still contains DCACHE_MISS_TYPE instead of
DCACHE_SYMLINK_TYPE.  Result: false negative on "should we follow
link here?", with subsequent unpleasantness.

Our current DRM design uses a single address_space for all users of the
same DRM device. However, there is no way to create an anonymous
address_space without an underlying inode. Therefore, we wait for the
first ->open() callback on a registered char-dev and take-over the inode
of the char-dev. This worked well so far, but has several drawbacks:
 - We screw with FS internals and rely on some non-obvious invariants like
   inode->i_mapping being the same as inode->i_data for char-devs.
 - We don't have any address_space prior to the first ->open() from
   user-space. This leads to ugly fallback code and we cannot allocate
   global objects early.

As pointed out by Al-Viro, fs/anon_inode.c is *not* supposed to be used by
drivers for anonymous inode-allocation. Therefore, this patch follows the
proposed alternative solution and adds a pseudo filesystem mount-point to
DRM. We can then allocate private inodes including a private address_space
for each DRM device at initialization time.

Note that we could use:
  sysfs_get_inode(sysfs_mnt->mnt_sb, drm_device->dev->kobj.sd);
to get access to the underlying sysfs-inode of a "struct device" object.
However, most of this information is currently hidden and it's not clear
whether this address_space is suitable for driver access. Thus, unless
linux allows anonymous address_space objects or driver-core provides a
public inode per device, we're left with our own private internal mount
point.

    dcache: Translating dentry into pathname without taking rename_lock

The __dentry_path locking was changed and the variable error was
intended to be moved outside of the loop.  Unfortunately the inner
declaration of error was not removed. Resulting in a version of
__dentry_path that will never return an error.

Remove the problematic inner declaration of error and allow
__dentry_path to return errors once again.

When explicitly hashing the end of a string with the word-at-a-time
interface, we have to be careful which end of the word we pick up.

On big-endian CPUs, the upper-bits will contain the data we're after, so
ensure we generate our masks accordingly (and avoid hashing whatever
random junk may have been sitting after the string).

This patch adds a new dcache helper, bytemask_from_count, which creates
a mask appropriate for the CPU endianness.

The symlink /proc/<pid>/ns/{ipc,mnt,net,pid,user,uts} point to
dentries allocated with d_alloc_pseudo that we can mount, and
that have interesting names printed out with d_dname.

When these files are bind mounted /proc/mounts is not currently
displaying the mount point correctly because d_dname is called instead
of just displaying the path where the file is mounted.

Solve this by adding an explicit check to distinguish mounted pseudo
inodes and unmounted pseudo inodes.  Unmounted pseudo inodes always
use mount of their filesstem as the mnt_root  in their path making
these two cases easy to distinguish.

I can't for the life of me see any reason why anyone should care whether
a dentry that is never hooked into the dentry cache would need
DCACHE_DISCONNECTED set.

This originates from 4b936885 "fs:
improve scalability of pseudo filesystems", which probably just made the
false assumption the DCACHE_DISCONNECTED was meant to be set on anything
not connected to a parent somehow.

So this is just confusing.  Ideally the only uses of DCACHE_DISCONNECTED
would be in the filehandle-lookup code, which needs it to ensure
dentries are connected into the dentry tree before use.

I left d_alloc_pseudo there even though it's now equivalent to
__d_alloc(), just on the theory the name is better documentation of its
intended use outside dcache.c.

Every hashed dentry is either hashed in the dentry_hashtable, or a
superblock's s_anon list.

__d_drop() assumes it can determine which is the case by checking
DCACHE_DISCONNECTED; this is not true.

It is true that when DCACHE_DISCONNECTED is cleared, the dentry is not
only hashed on dentry_hashtable, but is fully connected to its parents
back to the root.

But the converse is *not* true: fs/exportfs/expfs.c:reconnect_path()
attempts to connect a directory (found by filehandle lookup) back to
root by ascending to parents and performing lookups one at a time.  It
does not clear DCACHE_DISCONNECTED until it's done, and that is not at
all an atomic process.

In particular, it is possible for DCACHE_DISCONNECTED to be set on a
dentry which is hashed on the dentry_hashtable.

Instead, use IS_ROOT() to check which hash chain a dentry is on.  This
*does* work:

Dentries are hashed only by:

	- d_obtain_alias, which adds an IS_ROOT() dentry to sb_anon.

	- __d_rehash, called by _d_rehash: hashes to the dentry's
	  parent, and all callers of _d_rehash appear to have d_parent
	  set to a "real" parent.
	- __d_rehash, called by __d_move: rehashes the moved dentry to
	  hash chain determined by target, and assigns target's d_parent
	  to its d_parent, before dropping the dentry's d_lock.

Therefore I believe it's safe for a holder of a dentry's d_lock to
assume that it is hashed on sb_anon if and only if IS_ROOT(dentry) is
true.

I believe the incorrect assumption about DCACHE_DISCONNECTED was
originally introduced by ceb5bdc2 "fs: dcache per-bucket dcache hash
locking".

Also add a comment while we're here.

Put a type field into struct dentry::d_flags to indicate if the dentry is one
of the following types that relate particularly to pathwalk:

	Miss (negative dentry)
	Directory
	"Automount" directory (defective - no i_op->lookup())
	Symlink
	Other (regular, socket, fifo, device)

The type field is set to one of the first five types on a dentry by calls to
__d_instantiate() and d_obtain_alias() from information in the inode (if one is
given).

The type is cleared by dentry_unlink_inode() when it reconstitutes an existing
dentry as a negative dentry.

Accessors provided are:

	d_set_type(dentry, type)
