Don't hold vfsmount_lock over the loop traversing ->mnt_parent;
do check_mnt(new.mnt) under namespace_sem instead; combined with
namespace_sem held over all that code it'll guarantee the stability
of ->mnt_parent chain all the way to the root.

Doing check_mnt() outside of namespace_sem in case of pivot_root()
is wrong anyway.

new function: mount_fs().  Does all work done by vfs_kern_mount()
except the allocation and filling of vfsmount; returns root dentry
or ERR_PTR().

vfs_kern_mount() switched to using it and taken to fs/namespace.c,
along with its wrappers.

alloc_vfsmnt()/free_vfsmnt() made static.

functions in namespace.c slightly reordered.

It turns out that while a maximum of 8 partitions may be what people
"should" have had, you can actually fit up to 18 entries(*) in a sector.

And some people clearly were taking advantage of that, like Michael
Cree, who had ten partitions on one of his OSF disks.

(*) The OSF partition data starts at byte offset 64 in the first sector,
    and the array of 16-byte partition entries start at offset 148 in
    the on-disk partition structure.

iprune_sem is continously giving us lockdep warnings because we do take it in
read mode in the reclaim path, but we're also doing non-NOFS allocations under
it taken in write mode.

Taking a bit deeper look at it I think it's fixable quite trivially:

 - for invalidate_inodes we do not need iprune_sem at all.  We have an active
   reference on the superblock, so the filesystem is not going away until it
   has finished.
 - for evict_inodes we do need it, to make sure prune_icache has done it's
   work before we tear down the superblock.  But there is no reason to
   hold it over the actual reclaim operation - it's enough to cycle through
   it after the actual reclaim to make sure we wait for any pending
   prune_icache to complete.  We just have to remove the WARN_ON for
   otherwise busy inodes as they can actually happen now.

commit 574197e0 had a missing
piece, breaking the loop detection ;-/
Signed-off-by: NAl Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

The new vfs locking scheme introduced in 2.6.38 breaks NFS sillyrename
because the latter relies on being able to determine the parent
directory of the dentry in the ->iput() callback in order to send the
appropriate unlink rpc call.

Looking at the code that cares about races with dput(), there doesn't
seem to be anything that specifically uses d_parent as a test for
whether or not there is a race:
  - __d_lookup_rcu(), __d_lookup() all test for d_hashed() after d_parent
  - shrink_dcache_for_umount() is safe since nothing else can rearrange
    the dentries in that super block.
  - have_submount(), select_parent() and d_genocide() can test for a
    deletion if we set the DCACHE_DISCONNECTED flag when the dentry
    is removed from the parent's d_subdirs list.

The last remaining place (resolution of nested symlink) converted
to the loop of the same kind we have in path_lookupat() and
path_openat().

Note that we still *do* have a recursion in pathname resolution;
can't avoid it, really.  However, it's strictly for nested symlinks
now - i.e. ones in the middle of a pathname.

link_path_walk() has lost the tail now - it always walks everything
except the last component.

do_follow_link() renamed to nested_symlink() and moved down.
Signed-off-by: NAl Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Now that link_path_walk() is called without LOOKUP_PARENT
only from do_follow_link(), we can simplify the checks in
last component handling.  First of all, checking if we'd
arrived to a directory is not needed - the caller will check
it anyway.  And LOOKUP_FOLLOW is guaranteed to be there,
since we only get to that place with nd->depth > 0.
