Move the d_move() in vfs_rename_dir() up, similarly to how it's done in
vfs_rename_other().  The next patch will consolidate these two functions
and this is the only structural difference between them.

I'm not sure if doing the d_move() after the dput is even valid.  But there
may be a logical explanation for that.  But moving the d_move() before the
dput() (and the mutex_unlock()) should definitely not hurt.

We can get false negative from __lookup_mnt() if an unrelated vfsmount
gets moved.  In that case legitimize_mnt() is guaranteed to fail,
and we will fall back to non-RCU walk... unless we end up running
into a hard error on a filesystem object we wouldn't have reached
if not for that false negative.  IOW, delaying that check until
the end of pathname resolution is wrong - we should recheck right
after we attempt to cross the mountpoint.  We don't need to recheck
unless we see d_mountpoint() being true - in that case even if
we have just raced with mount/umount, we can simply go on as if
we'd come at the moment when the sucker wasn't a mountpoint; if we
run into a hard error as the result, it was a legitimate outcome.
__lookup_mnt() returning NULL is different in that respect, since
it might've happened due to operation on completely unrelated
mountpoint.

Our write() system call has always been atomic in the sense that you get
the expected thread-safe contiguous write, but we haven't actually
guaranteed that concurrent writes are serialized wrt f_pos accesses, so
threads (or processes) that share a file descriptor and use "write()"
concurrently would quite likely overwrite each others data.

This violates POSIX.1-2008/SUSv4 Section XSI 2.9.7 that says:

 "2.9.7 Thread Interactions with Regular File Operations

  All of the following functions shall be atomic with respect to each
  other in the effects specified in POSIX.1-2008 when they operate on
  regular files or symbolic links: [...]"

and one of the effects is the file position update.

This unprotected file position behavior is not new behavior, and nobody
has ever cared.  Until now.  Yongzhi Pan reported unexpected behavior to
Michael Kerrisk that was due to this.

This resolves the issue with a f_pos-specific lock that is taken by
read/write/lseek on file descriptors that may be shared across threads
or processes.

This changes 'do_execve()' to get the executable name as a 'struct
filename', and to free it when it is done.  This is what the normal
users want, and it simplifies and streamlines their error handling.

The controlled lifetime of the executable name also fixes a
use-after-free problem with the trace_sched_process_exec tracepoint: the
lifetime of the passed-in string for kernel users was not at all
obvious, and the user-mode helper code used UMH_WAIT_EXEC to serialize
the pathname allocation lifetime with the execve() having finished,
which in turn meant that the trace point that happened after
mm_release() of the old process VM ended up using already free'd memory.

To solve the kernel string lifetime issue, this simply introduces
"getname_kernel()" that works like the normal user-space getname()
function, except with the source coming from kernel memory.

As Oleg points out, this also means that we could drop the tcomm[] array
from 'struct linux_binprm', since the pathname lifetime now covers
setup_new_exec().  That would be a separate cleanup.

We need to break delegations on any operation that changes the set of
links pointing to an inode.  Start with unlink.

Such operations also hold the i_mutex on a parent directory.  Breaking a
delegation may require waiting for a timeout (by default 90 seconds) in
the case of a unresponsive NFS client.  To avoid blocking all directory
operations, we therefore drop locks before waiting for the delegation.
The logic then looks like:

	acquire locks
	...
	test for delegation; if found:
		take reference on inode
		release locks
		wait for delegation break
		drop reference on inode
		retry

It is possible this could never terminate.  (Even if we take precautions
to prevent another delegation being acquired on the same inode, we could
get a different inode on each retry.)  But this seems very unlikely.

The initial test for a delegation happens after the lock on the target
inode is acquired, but the directory inode may have been acquired
further up the call stack.  We therefore add a "struct inode **"
argument to any intervening functions, which we use to pass the inode
back up to the caller in the case it needs a delegation synchronously
broken.

A read delegation is used by NFSv4 as a guarantee that a client can
perform local read opens without informing the server.

The open operation takes the last component of the pathname as an
argument, thus is also a lookup operation, and giving the client the
above guarantee means informing the client before we allow anything that
would change the set of names pointing to the inode.

Therefore, we need to break delegations on rename, link, and unlink.

We also need to prevent new delegations from being acquired while one of
these operations is in progress.

We could add some completely new locking for that purpose, but it's
simpler to use the i_mutex, since that's already taken by all the
operations we care about.

The single exception is rename.  So, modify rename to take the i_mutex
on the file that is being renamed.

Also fix up lockdep and Documentation/filesystems/directory-locking to
reflect the change.

	Miss (negative dentry)
	Directory
	"Automount" directory (defective - no i_op->lookup())

simply decrement the refcount and sod off - aforementioned synchronize_rcu()
makes sure that final mntput() won't come until we leave RCU mode.  We need
that, since we don't want to end up with some lazy pathwalk racing with
umount() and stealing the final mntput() from it - caller of umount() may
expect it to return only once the fs is shut down and we don't want to break
that.  In other cases (i.e. with MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT absent) we have to do
full-blown mntput() in case of mount_lock sequence number mismatch happening
just as we'd grabbed the reference, but in those cases we won't be stealing
the final mntput() from anything that would care.
* mntput_no_expire() doesn't lock anything on the fast path now.  Incidentally,

Historically, when a syscall that creates a dentry fails, you get an audit
record that looks something like this (when trying to create a file named
"new" in "/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63"):

    type=PATH msg=audit(1366128956.279:965): item=0 name="/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63/new" inode=2138308 dev=fd:02 mode=040700 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=staff_u:object_r:user_tmp_t:s15:c0.c1023

This record makes no sense since it's associating the inode information for
"/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63" with the path "/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63/new". The recent
patch I posted to fix the audit_inode call in do_last fixes this, by making it
look more like this:

    type=PATH msg=audit(1366128765.989:13875): item=0 name="/tmp/tmp.DJ1O8V3e4f/" inode=141 dev=fd:02 mode=040700 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=staff_u:object_r:user_tmp_t:s15:c0.c1023

While this is more correct, if the creation of the file fails, then we
have no record of the filename that the user tried to create.

This patch adds a call to audit_inode_child to may_create. This creates
an AUDIT_TYPE_CHILD_CREATE record that will sit in place until the
create succeeds. When and if the create does succeed, then this record
will be updated with the correct inode info from the create.

This fixes what was broken in commit bfcec708.

If O_CREAT|O_EXCL are passed to open, then we know that either

 - the file is successfully created, or
 - the operation fails in some way.

So previously we set FILE_CREATED before calling ->atomic_open() so the
filesystem doesn't have to.  This, however, led to bugs in the
implementation that went unnoticed when the filesystem didn't check for
existence, yet returned success.  To prevent this kind of bug, require
filesystems to always explicitly set FILE_CREATED on O_CREAT|O_EXCL and
verify this in the VFS.

Also added a couple more verifications for the result of atomic_open():

 - Warn if filesystem set FILE_CREATED despite the lack of O_CREAT.
 - Warn if filesystem set FILE_CREATED but gave a negative dentry.

When I moved the RCU walk termination into unlazy_walk(), I didn't copy
quite all of it: for the successful RCU termination we properly add the
necessary reference counts to our temporary copy of the root path, but
for the failure case we need to make sure that any temporary root path
information is cleared out (since it does _not_ have the proper
reference counts from the RCU lookup).

We could clean up this mess by just always dropping the temporary root
information, but Al points out that that would mean that a single lookup
through symlinks could see multiple different root entries if it races
with another thread doing chroot.  Not that I think we should really
care (we had that before too, back before we had a copy of the root path
in the nameidata).

Al says he has a cunning plan.  In the meantime, this is the minimal fix
for the problem, even if it's not all that pretty.

This is the fix that the last two commits indirectly led up to - making
sure that we don't call dput() in a bad context on the dentries we've
looked up in RCU mode after the sequence count validation fails.

This basically expands d_rcu_to_refcount() into the callers, and then
fixes the callers to delay the dput() in the failure case until _after_
we've dropped all locks and are no longer in an RCU-locked region.

The case of 'complete_walk()' was trivial, since its failure case did
the unlock_rcu_walk() directly after the call to d_rcu_to_refcount(),
and as such that is just a pure expansion of the function with a trivial
movement of the resulting dput() to after 'unlock_rcu_walk()'.

In contrast, the unlazy_walk() case was much more complicated, because
not only does convert two different dentries from RCU to be reference
counted, but it used to not call unlock_rcu_walk() at all, and instead
just returned an error and let the caller clean everything up in
"terminate_walk()".

Happily, one of the dentries in question (called "parent" inside
unlazy_walk()) is the dentry of "nd->path", which terminate_walk() wants
a refcount to anyway for the non-RCU case.

So what the new and improved unlazy_walk() does is to first turn that
dentry into a refcounted one, and once that is set up, the error cases
can continue to use the terminate_walk() helper for cleanup, but for the
non-RCU case.  Which makes it possible to drop out of RCU mode if we
actually hit the sequence number failure case.

This simplifies the RCU to refcounting code in particular.

I was originally intending to leave this for later, but walking through
all the dput() logic (see previous commit), I realized that the dput()
"might_sleep()" check was misleadingly weak.  And I removed it as
misleading, both for performance profiling and for debugging.

However, the might_sleep() debugging case is actually true: the final
dput() can indeed sleep, if the inode of the dentry that you are
releasing ends up sleeping at iput time (see dentry_iput()).  So the
problem with the might_sleep() in dput() wasn't that it wasn't true, it
was that it wasn't actually testing and triggering on the interesting
case.

In particular, just about *any* dput() can indeed sleep, if you happen
to race with another thread deleting the file in question, and you then
lose the race to the be the last dput() for that file.  But because it's
a very rare race, the debugging code would never trigger it in practice.

Why is this problematic? The new d_rcu_to_refcount() (see commit
15570086: "vfs: reimplement d_rcu_to_refcount() using
lockref_get_or_lock()") does a dput() for the failure case, and it does
it under the RCU lock.  So potentially sleeping really is a bug.

But there's no way I'm going to fix this with the previous complicated
"lockref_get_or_lock()" interface.  And rather than revert to the old
and crufty nested dentry locking code (which did get this right by
delaying the reference count updates until they were verified to be
safe), let's make forward progress.

Christopher reported a regression where he was unable to unmount a NFS
filesystem where the root had gone stale. The problem is that
d_revalidate handles the root of the filesystem differently from other
dentries, but d_weak_revalidate does not. We could simply fix this by
making d_weak_revalidate return success on IS_ROOT dentries, but there
are cases where we do want to revalidate the root of the fs.

A umount is really a special case. We generally aren't interested in
anything but the dentry and vfsmount that's attached at that point. If
the inode turns out to be stale we just don't care since the intent is
to stop using it anyway.

Try to handle this situation better by treating umount as a special
case in the lookup code. Have it resolve the parent using normal
means, and then do a lookup of the final dentry without revalidating
it. In most cases, the final lookup will come out of the dcache, but
the case where there's a trailing symlink or !LAST_NORM entry on the
end complicates things a bit.

This moves __d_rcu_to_refcount() from <linux/dcache.h> into fs/namei.c
and re-implements it using the lockref infrastructure instead.  It also
adds a lot of comments about what is actually going on, because turning
a dentry that was looked up using RCU into a long-lived reference
counted entry is one of the more subtle parts of the rcu walk.

We also used to be _particularly_ subtle in unlazy_walk() where we
re-validate both the dentry and its parent using the same sequence
count.  We used to do it by nesting the locks and then verifying the
sequence count just once.

That was silly, because nested locking is expensive, but the sequence
count check is not.  So this just re-validates the dentry and the parent
separately, avoiding the nested locking, and making the lockref lookup
possible.

This just replaces the dentry count/lock combination with the lockref
structure that contains both a count and a spinlock, and does the
mechanical conversion to use the lockref infrastructure.

There are no semantic changes here, it's purely syntactic.  The
reference lockref implementation uses the spinlock exactly the same way
that the old dcache code did, and the bulk of this patch is just
expanding the internal "d_count" use in the dcache code to use
"d_lockref.count" instead.

This is purely preparation for the real change to make the reference
count updates be lockless during the 3.12 merge window.
