kernfs_node->parent and ->name are currently marked as "published" indicating that kernfs users may access them directly; however, those fields may get updated by kernfs_rename[_ns]() and unrestricted access may lead to erroneous values or oops. Protect ->parent and ->name updates with a irq-safe spinlock kernfs_rename_lock and implement the following accessors for these fields. * kernfs_name() - format the node's name into the specified buffer * kernfs_path() - format the node's path into the specified buffer * pr_cont_kernfs_name() - pr_cont a node's name (doesn't need buffer) * pr_cont_kernfs_path() - pr_cont a node's path (doesn't need buffer) * kernfs_get_parent() - pin and return a node's parent All can be called under any context. The recursive sysfs_pathname() in fs/sysfs/dir.c is replaced with kernfs_path() and sysfs_rename_dir_ns() is updated to use kernfs_get_parent() instead of dereferencing parent directly. v2: Dummy definition of kernfs_path() for !CONFIG_KERNFS was missing static inline making it cause a lot of build warnings.

Implement helpers to determine node from dentry and root from super_block. Also add a kernfs_rename_ns() wrapper which assumes NULL namespace. These generally make sense and will be used by cgroup. v2: Some dummy implementations for !CONFIG_SYSFS was missing. Fixed. Reported by kbuild test robot.

Currently, kernfs_nodes are made visible to userland on creation, which makes it difficult for kernfs users to atomically succeed or fail creation of multiple nodes. In addition, if something fails after creating some nodes, the created nodes might already be in use and their active refs need to be drained for removal, which has the potential to introduce tricky reverse locking dependency on active_ref depending on how the error path is synchronized. This patch introduces per-root flag KERNFS_ROOT_CREATE_DEACTIVATED. If set, all nodes under the root are created in the deactivated state and stay invisible to userland until explicitly enabled by the new kernfs_activate() API. Also, nodes which have never been activated are guaranteed to bypass draining on removal thus allowing error paths to not worry about lockding dependency on active_ref draining.

kernfs_iop_lookup(), kernfs_dir_pos() and kernfs_dir_next_pos() were missing kernfs_active() tests before using the found kernfs_node. As deactivated state is currently visible only while a node is being removed, this doesn't pose an actual problem. e.g. lookup succeeding on a deactivated node doesn't harm anything as the eventual file operations are gonna fail and those failures are indistinguishible from the cases in which the lookups had happened before the node was deactivated. However, we're gonna allow new nodes to be created deactivated and then activated explicitly by the kernfs user when it sees fit. This is to support atomically making multiple nodes visible to userland and thus those nodes must not be visible to userland before activated. Let's plug the lookup and readdir holes so that deactivated nodes are invisible to userland. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

kernfs_dir_ops are currently being invoked without any active reference, which makes it tricky for the invoked operations to determine whether the objects associated those nodes are safe to access and will remain that way for the duration of such operations. kernfs already has active_ref mechanism to deal with this which makes the removal of a given node the synchronization point for gating the file operations. There's no reason for dir_ops to be any different. Update the dir_ops handling so that active_ref is held while the dir_ops are executing. This guarantees that while a dir_ops is executing the target nodes stay alive. As kernfs_dir_ops doesn't have any in-kernel user at this point, this doesn't affect anybody.

Sometimes it's necessary to implement a node which wants to delete nodes including itself. This isn't straightforward because of kernfs active reference. While a file operation is in progress, an active reference is held and kernfs_remove() waits for all such references to drain before completing. For a self-deleting node, this is a deadlock as kernfs_remove() ends up waiting for an active reference that itself is sitting on top of. This currently is worked around in the sysfs layer using sysfs_schedule_callback() which makes such removals asynchronous. While it works, it's rather cumbersome and inherently breaks synchronicity of the operation - the file operation which triggered the operation may complete before the removal is finished (or even started) and the removal may fail asynchronously. If a removal operation is immmediately followed by another operation which expects the specific name to be available (e.g. removal followed by rename onto the same name), there's no way to make the latter operation reliable. The thing is there's no inherent reason for this to be asynchrnous. All that's necessary to do this synchronous is a dedicated operation which drops its own active ref and deactivates self. This patch implements kernfs_remove_self() and its wrappers in sysfs and driver core. kernfs_remove_self() is to be called from one of the file operations, drops the active ref the task is holding, removes the self node, and restores active ref to the dead node so that the ref is balanced afterwards. __kernfs_remove() is updated so that it takes an early exit if the target node is already fully removed so that the active ref restored by kernfs_remove_self() after removal doesn't confuse the deactivation path. This makes implementing self-deleting nodes very easy. The normal removal path doesn't even need to be changed to use kernfs_remove_self() for the self-deleting node. The method can invoke kernfs_remove_self() on itself before proceeding the normal removal path. kernfs_remove() invoked on the node by the normal deletion path will simply be ignored. This will replace sysfs_schedule_callback(). A subtle feature of sysfs_schedule_callback() is that it collapses multiple invocations - even if multiple removals are triggered, the removal callback is run only once. An equivalent effect can be achieved by testing the return value of kernfs_remove_self() - only the one which gets %true return value should proceed with actual deletion. All other instances of kernfs_remove_self() will wait till the enclosing kernfs operation which invoked the winning instance of kernfs_remove_self() finishes and then return %false. This trivially makes all users of kernfs_remove_self() automatically show correct synchronous behavior even when there are multiple concurrent operations - all "echo 1 > delete" instances will finish only after the whole operation is completed by one of the instances. Note that manipulation of active ref is implemented in separate public functions - kernfs_[un]break_active_protection(). kernfs_remove_self() is the only user at the moment but this will be used to cater to more complex cases. v2: For !CONFIG_SYSFS, dummy version kernfs_remove_self() was missing and sysfs_remove_file_self() had incorrect return type. Fix it. Reported by kbuild test bot. v3: kernfs_[un]break_active_protection() separated out from kernfs_remove_self() and exposed as public API.

KERNFS_REMOVED is used to mark half-initialized and dying nodes so that they don't show up in lookups and deny adding new nodes under or renaming it; however, its role overlaps that of deactivation. It's necessary to deny addition of new children while removal is in progress; however, this role considerably intersects with deactivation - KERNFS_REMOVED prevents new children while deactivation prevents new file operations. There's no reason to have them separate making things more complex than necessary. This patch removes KERNFS_REMOVED. * Instead of KERNFS_REMOVED, each node now starts its life deactivated. This means that we now use both atomic_add() and atomic_sub() on KN_DEACTIVATED_BIAS, which is INT_MIN. The compiler generates an overflow warnings when negating INT_MIN as the negation can't be represented as a positive number. Nothing is actually broken but let's bump BIAS by one to avoid the warnings for archs which negates the subtrahend.. * A new helper kernfs_active() which tests whether kn->active >= 0 is added for convenience and lockdep annotation. All KERNFS_REMOVED tests are replaced with negated kernfs_active() tests. * __kernfs_remove() is updated to deactivate, but not drain, all nodes in the subtree instead of setting KERNFS_REMOVED. This removes deactivation from kernfs_deactivate(), which is now renamed to kernfs_drain(). * Sanity check on KERNFS_REMOVED in kernfs_put() is replaced with checks on the active ref. * Some comment style updates in the affected area. v2: Reordered before removal path restructuring. kernfs_active() dropped and kernfs_get/put_active() used instead. RB_EMPTY_NODE() used in the lookup paths. v3: Reverted most of v2 except for creating a new node with KN_DEACTIVATED_BIAS.

There currently are two mechanisms gating active ref lockdep annotations - KERNFS_LOCKDEP flag and KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF type mask. The former disables lockdep annotations in kernfs_get/put_active() while the latter disables all of kernfs_deactivate(). While KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF also behaves as an optimization to skip the deactivation step for non-file nodes, the benefit is marginal and it needlessly diverges code paths. Let's drop KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF. While at it, add a test helper kernfs_lockdep() to test KERNFS_LOCKDEP flag so that it's more convenient and the related code can be compiled out when not enabled. v2: Refreshed on top of ("kernfs: make kernfs_deactivate() honor KERNFS_LOCKDEP flag"). As the earlier patch already added KERNFS_LOCKDEP tests to kernfs_deactivate(), those additions are dropped from this patch and the existing ones are simply converted to kernfs_lockdep().

kernfs_addrm_cxt and the accompanying kernfs_addrm_start/finish() were added because there were operations which should be performed outside kernfs_mutex after adding and removing kernfs_nodes. The necessary operations were recorded in kernfs_addrm_cxt and performed by kernfs_addrm_finish(); however, after the recent changes which relocated deactivation and unmapping so that they're performed directly during removal, the only operation kernfs_addrm_finish() performs is kernfs_put(), which can be moved inside the removal path too. This patch moves the kernfs_put() of the base ref to __kernfs_remove() and remove kernfs_addrm_cxt and kernfs_addrm_start/finish(). * kernfs_add_one() is updated to grab and release kernfs_mutex itself. sysfs_addrm_start/finish() invocations around it are removed from all users. * __kernfs_remove() puts an unlinked node directly instead of chaining it to kernfs_addrm_cxt. Its callers are updated to grab and release kernfs_mutex instead of calling kernfs_addrm_start/finish() around it. v2: Rebased on top of "kernfs: associate a new kernfs_node with its parent on creation" which dropped @parent from kernfs_add_one().

kernfs_unmap_bin_file() is supposed to unmap all memory mappings of the target file before kernfs_remove() finishes; however, it currently is being called from kernfs_addrm_finish() and has the same race problem as the original implementation of deactivation when there are multiple removers - only the remover which snatches the node to its addrm_cxt->removed list is guaranteed to wait for its completion before returning. It can be easily fixed by moving kernfs_unmap_bin_file() invocation from kernfs_addrm_finish() to kernfs_deactivated(). The function may be called multiple times but that shouldn't do any harm.

The recursive nature of kernfs_remove() means that, even if kernfs_remove() is not allowed to be called multiple times on the same node, there may be race conditions between removal of parent and its descendants. While we can claim that kernfs_remove() shouldn't be called on one of the descendants while the removal of an ancestor is in progress, such rule is unnecessarily restrictive and very difficult to enforce. It's better to simply allow invoking kernfs_remove() as the caller sees fit as long as the caller ensures that the node is accessible. The current behavior in such situations is broken. Whoever enters removal path first takes the node off the hierarchy and then deactivates. Following removers either return as soon as it notices that it's not the first one or can't even find the target node as it has already been removed from the hierarchy. In both cases, the following removers may finish prematurely while the nodes which should be removed and drained are still being processed by the first one. This patch restructures so that multiple removers, whether through recursion or direction invocation, always follow the following rules. * When there are multiple concurrent removers, only one puts the base ref. * Regardless of which one puts the base ref, all removers are blocked until the target node is fully deactivated and removed. To achieve the above, removal path now first marks all descendants including self REMOVED and then deactivates and unlinks leftmost descendant one-by-one. kernfs_deactivate() is called directly from __kernfs_removal() and drops and regrabs kernfs_mutex for each descendant to drain active refs. As this means that multiple removers can enter kernfs_deactivate() for the same node, the function is updated so that it can handle multiple deactivators of the same node - only one actually deactivates but all wait till drain completion. The restructured removal path guarantees that a removed node gets unlinked only after the node is deactivated and drained. Combined with proper multiple deactivator handling, this guarantees that any invocation of kernfs_remove() returns only after the node itself and all its descendants are deactivated, drained and removed. v2: Draining separated into a separate loop (used to be in the same loop as unlink) and done from __kernfs_deactivate(). This is to allow exposing deactivation as a separate interface later. Root node removal was broken in v1 patch. Fixed. v3: Revert most of v2 except for root node removal fix and simplification of KERNFS_REMOVED setting loop. v4: Refreshed on top of ("kernfs: make kernfs_deactivate() honor KERNFS_LOCKDEP flag").

kernfs_node->u.completion is used to notify deactivation completion from kernfs_put_active() to kernfs_deactivate(). We now allow multiple racing removals of the same node and the current removal scheme is no longer correct - kernfs_remove() invocation may return before the node is properly deactivated if it races against another removal. The removal path will be restructured to address the issue. To help such restructure which requires supporting multiple waiters, this patch replaces kernfs_node->u.completion with kernfs_root->deactivate_waitq. This makes deactivation event notifications share a per-root waitqueue_head; however, the wait path is quite cold and this will also allow shaving one pointer off kernfs_node. v2: Refreshed on top of ("kernfs: make kernfs_deactivate() honor KERNFS_LOCKDEP flag").

Once created, a kernfs_node is always destroyed by kernfs_put(). Since ba7443bc ("sysfs, kernfs: implement kernfs_create/destroy_root()"), kernfs_put() depends on kernfs_root() to locate the ino_ida. kernfs_root() in turn depends on kernfs_node->parent being set for !dir nodes. This means that kernfs_put() of a !dir node requires its ->parent to be initialized. This leads to oops when a newly created !dir node is destroyed without going through kernfs_add_one() or after failing kernfs_add_one() before ->parent is set. kernfs_root() invoked from kernfs_put() will try to dereference NULL parent. Fix it by moving parent association to kernfs_new_node() from kernfs_add_one(). kernfs_new_node() now takes @parent instead of @root and determines the root from the parent and also sets the new node's parent properly. @parent parameter is removed from kernfs_add_one(). As there's no parent when creating the root node, __kernfs_new_node() which takes @root as before and doesn't set the parent is used in that case. This ensures that a kernfs_node in any stage in its life has its parent associated and thus can be put.

895a068a ("kernfs: make kernfs_get_active() block if the node is deactivated but not removed") added "struct kernfs_root *root = kernfs_root(kn);" at the head of the function; however, the parameter @kn is checked for later implying that the function may be called with NULL. This means that we may end up invoking kernfs_root() with NULL which will oops. None of the existing users invokes removal with NULL @kn, so this bug doesn't actually trigger. We can relocate kernfs_root() invocation after NULL check; however, allowing NULL param tends to cause more confusion than actually helping anything. As there's no existing user, let's remove the spurious NULL check. This bug was detected by smatch.

A new fields kernfs_node->deact_depth is added so that concurrent and nested deactivations are handled properly. kernfs_node->hash is moved so that it's paired with the new field so that it doesn't increase the size of kernfs_node. A kernfs user's lock would normally nest inside active ref but during removal the user may want to perform kernfs_remove() while holding the said lock, which would introduce a reverse locking dependency. This function can be used to break such reverse dependency by allowing deactivation step to performed separately outside user's critical section. This will also be used implement kernfs_remove_self(). Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

Currently, kernfs_get_active() fails if the target node is deactivated. This is fine as a node always gets removed after deactivation; however, we're gonna add reactivation so the assumption won't hold. It'd be incorrect for kernfs_get_active() to fail for a node which was deactivated only temporarily. This patch makes kernfs_get_active() block if the node is deactivated but not removed. If the node gets reactivated (not yet implemented), it will be retried and succeed. If the node gets removed, it will be woken up and fail.

kernfs_addrm_cxt and the accompanying kernfs_addrm_start/finish() were added because there were operations which should be performed outside kernfs_mutex after adding and removing kernfs_nodes. The necessary operations were recorded in kernfs_addrm_cxt and performed by kernfs_addrm_finish(); however, after the recent changes which relocated deactivation and unmapping so that they're performed directly during removal, the only operation kernfs_addrm_finish() performs is kernfs_put(), which can be moved inside the removal path too. This patch moves the kernfs_put() of the base ref to __kernfs_remove() and remove kernfs_addrm_cxt and kernfs_addrm_start/finish(). * kernfs_add_one() is updated to grab and release the parent's active ref and kernfs_mutex itself. kernfs_get/put_active() and kernfs_addrm_start/finish() invocations around it are removed from all users. * __kernfs_remove() puts an unlinked node directly instead of chaining it to kernfs_addrm_cxt. Its callers are updated to grab and release kernfs_mutex instead of calling kernfs_addrm_start/finish() around it. v2: Updated to fit the v2 restructuring of removal path.

kernfs_unmap_bin_file() is supposed to unmap all memory mappings of the target file before kernfs_remove() finishes; however, it currently is being called from kernfs_addrm_finish() and has the same race problem as the original implementation of deactivation when there are multiple removers - only the remover which snatches the node to its addrm_cxt->removed list is guaranteed to wait for its completion before returning. It can be fixed by moving kernfs_unmap_bin_file() invocation from kernfs_addrm_finish() to __kernfs_remove(). The function may be called multiple times but that shouldn't do any harm. We end up dropping kernfs_mutex in the removal loop and the node may be removed inbetween by someone else. kernfs_unlink_sibling() is updated to test whether the node has already been removed and return accordingly. __kernfs_remove() in turn performs post-unlinking cleanup only if it actually unlinked the node. KERNFS_HAS_MMAP test is moved out of the unmap function into __kernfs_remove() so that we don't unlock kernfs_mutex unnecessarily. While at it, drop the now meaningless "bin" qualifier from the function name. v2: Rewritten to fit the v2 restructuring of removal path. HAS_MMAP test relocated.

The recursive nature of kernfs_remove() means that, even if kernfs_remove() is not allowed to be called multiple times on the same node, there may be race conditions between removal of parent and its descendants. While we can claim that kernfs_remove() shouldn't be called on one of the descendants while the removal of an ancestor is in progress, such rule is unnecessarily restrictive and very difficult to enforce. It's better to simply allow invoking kernfs_remove() as the caller sees fit as long as the caller ensures that the node is accessible. The current behavior in such situations is broken. Whoever enters removal path first takes the node off the hierarchy and then deactivates. Following removers either return as soon as it notices that it's not the first one or can't even find the target node as it has already been removed from the hierarchy. In both cases, the following removers may finish prematurely while the nodes which should be removed and drained are still being processed by the first one. This patch restructures so that multiple removers, whether through recursion or direction invocation, always follow the following rules. * When there are multiple concurrent removers, only one puts the base ref. * Regardless of which one puts the base ref, all removers are blocked until the target node is fully deactivated and removed. To achieve the above, removal path now first deactivates the subtree, drains it and then unlinks one-by-one. __kernfs_deactivate() is called directly from __kernfs_removal() and drops and regrabs kernfs_mutex for each descendant to drain active refs. As this means that multiple removers can enter __kernfs_deactivate() for the same node, the function is updated so that it can handle multiple deactivators of the same node - only one actually deactivates but all wait till drain completion. The restructured removal path guarantees that a removed node gets unlinked only after the node is deactivated and drained. Combined with proper multiple deactivator handling, this guarantees that any invocation of kernfs_remove() returns only after the node itself and all its descendants are deactivated, drained and removed. v2: Draining separated into a separate loop (used to be in the same loop as unlink) and done from __kernfs_deactivate(). This is to allow exposing deactivation as a separate interface later. Root node removal was broken in v1 patch. Fixed.

KERNFS_REMOVED is used to mark half-initialized and dying nodes so that they don't show up in lookups and deny adding new nodes under or renaming it; however, its role overlaps those of deactivation and removal from rbtree. It's necessary to deny addition of new children while removal is in progress; however, this role considerably intersects with deactivation - KERNFS_REMOVED prevents new children while deactivation prevents new file operations. There's no reason to have them separate making things more complex than necessary. KERNFS_REMOVED is also used to decide whether a node is still visible to vfs layer, which is rather redundant as equivalent determination can be made by testing whether the node is on its parent's children rbtree or not. This patch removes KERNFS_REMOVED. * Instead of KERNFS_REMOVED, each node now starts its life deactivated. This means that we now use both atomic_add() and atomic_sub() on KN_DEACTIVATED_BIAS, which is INT_MIN. The compiler generates an overflow warnings when negating INT_MIN as the negation can't be represented as a positive number. Nothing is actually broken but let's bump BIAS by one to avoid the warnings for archs which negates the subtrahend.. * KERNFS_REMOVED tests in add and rename paths are replaced with kernfs_get/put_active() of the target nodes. Due to the way the add path is structured now, active ref handling is done in the callers of kernfs_add_one(). This will be consolidated up later. * kernfs_remove_one() is updated to deactivate instead of setting KERNFS_REMOVED. This removes deactivation from kernfs_deactivate(), which is now renamed to kernfs_drain(). * kernfs_dop_revalidate() now tests RB_EMPTY_NODE(&kn->rb) instead of KERNFS_REMOVED and KERNFS_REMOVED test in kernfs_dir_pos() is dropped. A node which is removed from the children rbtree is not included in the iteration in the first place. This means that a node may be visible through vfs a bit longer - it's now also visible after deactivation until the actual removal. This slightly enlarged window difference doesn't make any difference to the userland. * Sanity check on KERNFS_REMOVED in kernfs_put() is replaced with checks on the active ref. * Some comment style updates in the affected area. v2: Reordered before removal path restructuring. kernfs_active() dropped and kernfs_get/put_active() used instead. RB_EMPTY_NODE() used in the lookup paths. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

There currently are two mechanisms gating active ref lockdep annotations - KERNFS_LOCKDEP flag and KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF type mask. The former disables lockdep annotations in kernfs_get/put_active() while the latter disables all of kernfs_deactivate(). While KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF also behaves as an optimization to skip the deactivation step for non-file nodes, the benefit is marginal and it needlessly diverges code paths. Let's drop KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF and use KERNFS_LOCKDEP in kernfs_deactivate() too. While at it, add a test helper kernfs_lockdep() to test KERNFS_LOCKDEP flag so that it's more convenient and the related code can be compiled out when not enabled.

kernfs_node->u.completion is used to notify deactivation completion from kernfs_put_active() to kernfs_deactivate(). We now allow multiple racing removals of the same node and the current removal scheme is no longer correct - kernfs_remove() invocation may return before the node is properly deactivated if it races against another removal. The removal path will be restructured to address the issue. To help such restructure which requires supporting multiple waiters, this patch replaces kernfs_node->u.completion with kernfs_root->deactivate_waitq. This makes deactivation event notifications share a per-root waitqueue_head; however, the wait path is quite cold and this will also allow shaving one pointer off kernfs_node.

Add support for mkdir(2), rmdir(2) and rename(2) syscalls. This is implemented through optional kernfs_dir_ops callback table which can be specified on kernfs_create_root(). An implemented callback is invoked when the matching syscall is invoked. As kernfs keep dcache syncs with internal representation and revalidates dentries on each access, the implementation of these methods is extremely simple. Each just discovers the relevant kernfs_node(s) and invokes the requested callback which is allowed to do any kernfs operations and the end result doesn't necessarily have to match the expected semantics of the syscall. This will be used to convert cgroup to use kernfs instead of its own filesystem implementation.

kernfs doesn't allow negative dentries - kernfs_iop_lookup() returns ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) instead of NULL which short-circuits negative dentry creation and kernfs's d_delete() callback, kernfs_dop_delete(), returns 1 for all removed nodes. This in turn allows kernfs_dop_revalidate() to assume that there's no negative dentry for kernfs. This worked fine for sysfs but kernfs is scheduled to grow mkdir(2) support which depend on negative dentries. This patch updates so that kernfs allows negative dentries. The required changes are almost trivial - kernfs_iop_lookup() now returns NULL instead of ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) when the target kernfs_node doesn't exist, kernfs_dop_delete() is removed and kernfs_dop_revalidate() is updated to check whether the target dentry is negative and request fresh lookup if so.

kernfs_rename_ns() currently assumes that the target sysfs_dirent has a copied name. This has been okay because sysfs supports rename only for directories which always have copied names; however, there's nothing in kernfs interface which calls for such restriction and currently invoking kernfs_rename_ns() on a regular file leads to oops because it ends up trying to kfree() a static name. This patch updates kernfs_rename_ns() so that it skips kfree() of the old name if it's static. This allows it to be used for all node types.

Because sysfs used struct attribute which are supposed to stay constant, sysfs didn't copy names when creating regular files. The specified string for name was supposed to stay constant. Such distinction isn't inherent for kernfs. kernfs_create_file[_ns]() should be able to take the same @name as kernfs_create_dir[_ns]() As there can be huge number of sysfs attributes, we still want to be able to use static names for sysfs attributes. This patch renames kernfs_create_file_ns_key() to __kernfs_create_file() and adds @name_is_static parameter so that the caller can explicitly indicate that @name can be used without copying. kernfs is updated to use KERNFS_STATIC_NAME to distinguish static and copied names.

kernfs currently assumes that the caller doesn't try to create a new node under a removed parent, rename a removed node, or move a node under a removed node. While this works fine for sysfs, it'd be nice to have protection against such cases especially given that kernfs is planned to add support for mkdir, rmdir and rename requsts from userland which may make race conditions more likely. This patch updates create and rename paths to check REMOVED and fail the operation with -ENOENT if performed on or towards removed nodes. Note that remove path already has such check.
