ce8644fcad lookup_open(): expand the call of vfs_create()
Lift IS_DEADDIR handling up into the part common with atomic_open(),
remove it from the latter.  Collapse permission checks into the
call of may_o_create(), getting it closer to atomic_open() case.

9902af79c0 parallel lookups: actual switch to rwsem
ta-da!

The main issue is the lack of down_write_killable(), so the places
like readdir.c switched to plain inode_lock(); once killable
variants of rwsem primitives appear, that'll be dealt with.

lockdep side also might need more work

d9171b9345 parallel lookups machinery, part 4 (and last)
If we *do* run into an in-lookup match, we need to wait for it to
cease being in-lookup.  Fortunately, we do have unused space in
in-lookup dentries - d_lru is never looked at until it stops being
in-lookup.

So we can stash a pointer to wait_queue_head from stack frame of
the caller of ->lookup().  Some precautions are needed while
waiting, but it's not that hard - we do hold a reference to dentry
we are waiting for, so it can't go away.  If it's found to be
in-lookup the wait_queue_head is still alive and will remain so
at least while ->d_lock is held.  Moreover, the condition we
are waiting for becomes true at the same point where everything
on that wq gets woken up, so we can just add ourselves to the
queue once.

d_alloc_parallel() gets a pointer to wait_queue_head_t from its
caller; lookup_slow() adjusted, d_add_ci() taught to use
d_alloc_parallel() if the dentry passed to it happens to be
in-lookup one (i.e. if it's been called from the parallel lookup).

That's pretty much it - all that remains is to switch ->i_mutex
to rwsem and have lookup_slow() take it shared.

94bdd655ca parallel lookups machinery, part 3
We will need to be able to check if there is an in-lookup
dentry with matching parent/name.  Right now it's impossible,
but as soon as start locking directories shared such beasts
will appear.

Add a secondary hash for locating those.  Hash chains go through
the same space where d_alias will be once it's not in-lookup anymore.
Search is done under the same bitlock we use for modifications -
with the primary hash we can rely on d_rehash() into the wrong
chain being the worst that could happen, but here the pointers are
buggered once it's removed from the chain.  On the other hand,
the chains are not going to be long and normally we'll end up
adding to the chain anyway.  That allows us to avoid bothering with
->d_lock when doing the comparisons - everything is stable until
removed from chain.

New helper: d_alloc_parallel().  Right now it allocates, verifies
that no hashed and in-lookup matches exist and adds to in-lookup
hash.

Returns ERR_PTR() for error, hashed match (in the unlikely case it's
been found) or new dentry.  In-lookup matches trigger BUG() for
now; that will change in the next commit when we introduce waiting
for ongoing lookup to finish.  Note that in-lookup matches won't be
possible until we actually go for shared locking.

lookup_slow() switched to use of d_alloc_parallel().

Again, these commits are separated only for making it easier to
review.  All this machinery will start doing something useful only
when we go for shared locking; it's just that the combination is
too large for my taste.

85c7f81041 beginning of transition to parallel lookups - marking in-lookup dentries
marked as such when (would be) parallel lookup is about to pass them
to actual ->lookup(); unmarked when
	* __d_add() is about to make it hashed, positive or not.
	* __d_move() (from d_splice_alias(), directly or via
__d_unalias()) puts a preexisting dentry in its place
	* in caller of ->lookup() if it has escaped all of the
above.  Bug (WARN_ON, actually) if it reaches the final dput()
or d_instantiate() while still marked such.

As the result, we are guaranteed that for as long as the flag is
set, dentry will
	* remain negative unhashed with positive refcount
	* never have its ->d_alias looked at
	* never have its ->d_lru looked at
	* never have its ->d_parent and ->d_name changed

Right now we have at most one such for any given parent directory.
With parallel lookups that restriction will weaken to
	* only exist when parent is locked shared
	* at most one with given (parent,name) pair (comparison of
names is according to ->d_compare())
	* only exist when there's no hashed dentry with the same
(parent,name)

Transition will take the next several commits; unfortunately, we'll
only be able to switch to rwsem at the end of this series.  The
reason for not making it a single patch is to simplify review.

New primitives: d_in_lookup() (a predicate checking if dentry is in
the in-lookup state) and d_lookup_done() (tells the system that
we are done with lookup and if it's still marked as in-lookup, it
should cease to be such).

10c64cea04 atomic_open(): fix the handling of create_error
* if we have a hashed negative dentry and either CREAT|EXCL on
r/o filesystem, or CREAT|TRUNC on r/o filesystem, or CREAT|EXCL
with failing may_o_create(), we should fail with EROFS or the
error may_o_create() has returned, but not ENOENT.  Which is what
the current code ends up returning.

* if we have CREAT|TRUNC hitting a regular file on a read-only
filesystem, we can't fail with EROFS here.  At the very least,
not until we'd done follow_managed() - we might have a writable
file (or a device, for that matter) bound on top of that one.
Moreover, the code downstream will see that O_TRUNC and attempt
to grab the write access (*after* following possible mount), so
if we really should fail with EROFS, it will happen.  No need
to do that inside atomic_open().

The real logics is much simpler than what the current code is
trying to do - if we decided to go for simple lookup, ended
up with a negative dentry *and* had create_error set, fail with
create_error.  No matter whether we'd got that negative dentry
from lookup_real() or had found it in dcache.

b8a7a3a667 posix_acl: Inode acl caching fixes
When get_acl() is called for an inode whose ACL is not cached yet, the
get_acl inode operation is called to fetch the ACL from the filesystem.
The inode operation is responsible for updating the cached acl with
set_cached_acl().  This is done without locking at the VFS level, so
another task can call set_cached_acl() or forget_cached_acl() before the
get_acl inode operation gets to calling set_cached_acl(), and then
get_acl's call to set_cached_acl() results in caching an outdate ACL.

Prevent this from happening by setting the cached ACL pointer to a
task-specific sentinel value before calling the get_acl inode operation.
Move the responsibility for updating the cached ACL from the get_acl
inode operations to get_acl().  There, only set the cached ACL if the
sentinel value hasn't changed.

The sentinel values are chosen to have odd values.  Likewise, the value
of ACL_NOT_CACHED is odd.  In contrast, ACL object pointers always have
an even value (ACLs are aligned in memory).  This allows to distinguish
uncached ACLs values from ACL objects.

In addition, switch from guarding inode->i_acl and inode->i_default_acl
upates by the inode->i_lock spinlock to using xchg() and cmpxchg().

Filesystems that do not want ACLs returned from their get_acl inode
operations to be cached must call forget_cached_acl() to prevent the VFS
from doing so.

Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "All kinds of stuff.  That probably should've been 5 or 6 separate
  branches, but by the time I'd realized how large and mixed that bag
  had become it had been too close to -final to play with rebasing.

  Some fs/namei.c cleanups there, memdup_user_nul() introduction and
  switching open-coded instances, burying long-dead code, whack-a-mole
  of various kinds, several new helpers for ->llseek(), assorted
  cleanups and fixes from various people, etc.

  One piece probably deserves special mention - Neil's
  lookup_one_len_unlocked().  Similar to lookup_one_len(), but gets
  called without ->i_mutex and tries to avoid ever taking it.  That, of
  course, means that it's not useful for any directory modifications,
  but things like getting inode attributes in nfds readdirplus are fine
  with that.  I really should've asked for moratorium on lookup-related
  changes this cycle, but since I hadn't done that early enough...  I
  *am* asking for that for the coming cycle, though - I'm going to try
  and get conversion of i_mutex to rwsem with ->lookup() done under lock
  taken shared.

  There will be a patch closer to the end of the window, along the lines
  of the one Linus had posted last May - mechanical conversion of
  ->i_mutex accesses to inode_lock()/inode_unlock()/inode_trylock()/
  inode_is_locked()/inode_lock_nested().  To quote Linus back then:

bbddca8e8f nfsd: don't hold i_mutex over userspace upcalls
We need information about exports when crossing mountpoints during
lookup or NFSv4 readdir.  If we don't already have that information
cached, we may have to ask (and wait for) rpc.mountd.

In both cases we currently hold the i_mutex on the parent of the
directory we're asking rpc.mountd about.  We've seen situations where
rpc.mountd performs some operation on that directory that tries to take
the i_mutex again, resulting in deadlock.

With some care, we may be able to avoid that in rpc.mountd.  But it
seems better just to avoid holding a mutex while waiting on userspace.

It appears that lookup_one_len is pretty much the only operation that
needs the i_mutex.  So we could just drop the i_mutex elsewhere and do
something like

	mutex_lock()
	lookup_one_len()
	mutex_unlock()

In many cases though the lookup would have been cached and not required
the i_mutex, so it's more efficient to create a lookup_one_len() variant
that only takes the i_mutex when necessary.

6b2553918d replace ->follow_link() with new method that could stay in RCU mode
new method: ->get_link(); replacement of ->follow_link().  The differences
are:
	* inode and dentry are passed separately
	* might be called both in RCU and non-RCU mode;
the former is indicated by passing it a NULL dentry.
	* when called that way it isn't allowed to block
and should return ERR_PTR(-ECHILD) if it needs to be called
in non-RCU mode.

It's a flagday change - the old method is gone, all in-tree instances
converted.  Conversion isn't hard; said that, so far very few instances
do not immediately bail out when called in RCU mode.  That'll change
in the next commits.

c62d25556b mm, fs: introduce mapping_gfp_constraint()
There are many places which use mapping_gfp_mask to restrict a more
generic gfp mask which would be used for allocations which are not
directly related to the page cache but they are performed in the same
context.

Let's introduce a helper function which makes the restriction explicit and
easier to track.  This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

Pull userns hardlink capability check fix from Eric Biederman:
 "This round just contains a single patch.  There has been a lot of
  other work this period but it is not quite ready yet, so I am pushing
  it until 4.5.

  The remaining change by Dirk Steinmetz wich fixes both Gentoo and
  Ubuntu containers allows hardlinks if we have the appropriate
  capabilities in the user namespace.  Security wise it is really a
  gimme as the user namespace root can already call setuid become that
  user and create the hardlink"

f2ca379642 namei: permit linking with CAP_FOWNER in userns
Attempting to hardlink to an unsafe file (e.g. a setuid binary) from
within an unprivileged user namespace fails, even if CAP_FOWNER is held
within the namespace. This may cause various failures, such as a gentoo
installation within a lxc container failing to build and install specific
packages.

This change permits hardlinking of files owned by mapped uids, if
CAP_FOWNER is held for that namespace. Furthermore, it improves consistency
by using the existing inode_owner_or_capable(), which is aware of
namespaced capabilities as of 23adbe12ef ("fs,userns: Change
inode_capable to capable_wrt_inode_uidgid").

This is hitting us in Ubuntu during some dpkg upgrades in containers.
When upgrading a file dpkg creates a hard link to the old file to back
it up before overwriting it. When packages upgrade suid files owned by a
non-root user the link isn't permitted, and the package upgrade fails.
This patch fixes our problem.

daf3761c9f namei: results of d_is_negative() should be checked after dentry revalidation
Leandro Awa writes:
 "After switching to version 4.1.6, our parallelized and distributed
  workflows now fail consistently with errors of the form:

  T34: ./regex.c:39:22: error: config.h: No such file or directory

  From our 'git bisect' testing, the following commit appears to be the
  possible cause of the behavior we've been seeing: commit 766c4cbfacd8"

Al Viro says:
 "What happens is that 766c4cbfac got the things subtly wrong.

  We used to treat d_is_negative() after lookup_fast() as "fall with
  ENOENT".  That was wrong - checking ->d_flags outside of ->d_seq
  protection is unreliable and failing with hard error on what should've
  fallen back to non-RCU pathname resolution is a bug.

  Unfortunately, we'd pulled the test too far up and ran afoul of
  another kind of staleness.  The dentry might have been absolutely
  stable from the RCU point of view (and we might be on UP, etc), but
  stale from the remote fs point of view.  If ->d_revalidate() returns
  "it's actually stale", dentry gets thrown away and the original code
  wouldn't even have looked at its ->d_flags.

  What we need is to check ->d_flags where 766c4cbfac does (prior to
  ->d_seq validation) but only use the result in cases where we do not
  discard this dentry outright"

is no need to do that again from its callers. Drop it.
