Allow d_manage() to be called from pathwalk when it is in RCU-walk mode as well
as when it is in Ref-walk mode.  This permits __follow_mount_rcu() to call
d_manage() directly.  d_manage() needs a parameter to indicate that it is in
RCU-walk mode as it isn't allowed to sleep if in that mode (but should return
-ECHILD instead).

autofs4_d_manage() can then be set to retain RCU-walk mode if the daemon
accesses it and otherwise request dropping back to ref-walk mode.

This patch required a previous patch to add the ->d_automount()
dentry operation.

Add a function to use the newly defined ->d_manage() dentry operation
for blocking during mount and expire.

Whether the VFS calls the dentry operations d_automount() and d_manage()
is controled by the DMANAGED_AUTOMOUNT and DMANAGED_TRANSIT flags. autofs
uses the d_automount() operation to callback to user space to request
mount operations and the d_manage() operation to block walks into mounts
that are under construction or destruction.

In order to prevent these functions from being called unnecessarily the
DMANAGED_* flags are cleared for cases which would cause this. In the
common case the DMANAGED_AUTOMOUNT and DMANAGED_TRANSIT flags are both
set for dentrys waiting to be mounted. The DMANAGED_TRANSIT flag is
cleared upon successful mount request completion and set during expire
runs, both during the dentry expire check, and if selected for expire,
is left set until a subsequent successful mount request completes.

The exception to this is the so-called rootless multi-mount which has
no actual mount at its base. In this case the DMANAGED_AUTOMOUNT flag
is cleared upon successful mount request completion as well and set
again after a successful expire.

Add a dentry op (d_manage) to permit a filesystem to hold a process and make it
sleep when it tries to transit away from one of that filesystem's directories
during a pathwalk.  The operation is keyed off a new dentry flag
(DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT).

The filesystem is allowed to be selective about which processes it holds and
which it permits to continue on or prohibits from transiting from each flagged
directory.  This will allow autofs to hold up client processes whilst letting
its userspace daemon through to maintain the directory or the stuff behind it
or mounted upon it.

The ->d_manage() dentry operation:

	int (*d_manage)(struct path *path, bool mounting_here);

takes a pointer to the directory about to be transited away from and a flag
indicating whether the transit is undertaken by do_add_mount() or
do_move_mount() skipping through a pile of filesystems mounted on a mountpoint.

It should return 0 if successful and to let the process continue on its way;
-EISDIR to prohibit the caller from skipping to overmounted filesystems or
automounting, and to use this directory; or some other error code to return to
the user.

->d_manage() is called with namespace_sem writelocked if mounting_here is true
and no other locks held, so it may sleep.  However, if mounting_here is true,
it may not initiate or wait for a mount or unmount upon the parameter
directory, even if the act is actually performed by userspace.

Within fs/namei.c, follow_managed() is extended to check with d_manage() first
on each managed directory, before transiting away from it or attempting to
automount upon it.

follow_down() is renamed follow_down_one() and should only be used where the
filesystem deliberately intends to avoid management steps (e.g. autofs).

A new follow_down() is added that incorporates the loop done by all other
callers of follow_down() (do_add/move_mount(), autofs and NFSD; whilst AFS, NFS
and CIFS do use it, their use is removed by converting them to use
d_automount()).  The new follow_down() calls d_manage() as appropriate.  It
also takes an extra parameter to indicate if it is being called from mount code
(with namespace_sem writelocked) which it passes to d_manage().  follow_down()
ignores automount points so that it can be used to mount on them.

__follow_mount_rcu() is made to abort rcu-walk mode if it hits a directory with
DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT set on the basis that we're probably going to have to
sleep.  It would be possible to enter d_manage() in rcu-walk mode too, and have
that determine whether to abort or not itself.  That would allow the autofs
daemon to continue on in rcu-walk mode.

Note that DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT on a directory should be cleared when it isn't
required as every tranist from that directory will cause d_manage() to be
invoked.  It can always be set again when necessary.

==========================
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR AUTOFS
==========================

Autofs currently uses the lookup() inode op and the d_revalidate() dentry op to
trigger the automounting of indirect mounts, and both of these can be called
with i_mutex held.

autofs knows that the i_mutex will be held by the caller in lookup(), and so
can drop it before invoking the daemon - but this isn't so for d_revalidate(),
since the lock is only held on _some_ of the code paths that call it.  This
means that autofs can't risk dropping i_mutex from its d_revalidate() function
before it calls the daemon.

The bug could manifest itself as, for example, a process that's trying to
validate an automount dentry that gets made to wait because that dentry is
expired and needs cleaning up:

	mkdir         S ffffffff8014e05a     0 32580  24956
	Call Trace:
	 [<ffffffff885371fd>] :autofs4:autofs4_wait+0x674/0x897

	 [<ffffffff80057a2f>] lookup_create+0x46/0x80
	 [<ffffffff800e6e31>] sys_mkdirat+0x56/0xe4

versus the automount daemon which wants to remove that dentry, but can't
because the normal process is holding the i_mutex lock:

	automount     D ffffffff8014e05a     0 32581      1              32561
	Call Trace:

	 [<ffffffff8005d229>] tracesys+0x71/0xe0
	 [<ffffffff8005d28d>] tracesys+0xd5/0xe0

which means that the system is deadlocked.

This patch allows autofs to hold up normal processes whilst the daemon goes
ahead and does things to the dentry tree behind the automouter point without
risking a deadlock as almost no locks are held in d_manage() and none in
d_automount().

With the recent changes to remove the BKL a mutex was added to the
ioctl entry point for calls to the old ioctl interface. This mutex
needs to be removed because of the need for the expire ioctl to call
back to the daemon to perform a umount and receive a completion
status (via another ioctl).

This should be fine as the new ioctl interface uses much of the same
code and it has been used without a mutex for around a year without
issue, as was the original intention.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

A deadlock can occur when user space uses a signal (autofs version 4 uses
SIGCHLD for this) to effect expire completion.

The order of events is:

Expire process completes, but before being able to send SIGCHLD to it's parent
...

Another process walks onto a different mount point and drops the directory
inode semaphore prior to sending the request to the daemon as it must ...

A third process does an lstat on on the expired mount point causing it to wait
on expire completion (unfortunately) holding the directory semaphore.

The mount request then arrives at the daemon which does an lstat and,
deadlock.

For some time I was concerned about releasing the directory semaphore around
the expire wait in autofs4_lookup as well as for the mount call back.  I
finally realized that the last round of changes in this function made the
expiring dentry and the lookup dentry separate and distinct so the check and
possible wait can be done anywhere prior to the mount call back.  This patch
moves the check to just before the mount call back and inside the directory
inode mutex release.
