f249fdd8c1 autofs4: fix sparse warning in root.c
fs/autofs4/root.c:536:23: warning: symbol 'ino' shadows an earlier one
fs/autofs4/root.c:510:22: originally declared here

There is no need to redeclare, we are at the end of the loop and in
the next iteration of the loop, ino will be reset.

4ac9137858 Embed a struct path into struct nameidata instead of nd->{dentry,mnt}
This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good
reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects
that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.

Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
  <dentry,vfsmount> pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
  struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:

without patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5321639  858418  715768 6895825  6938d1 vmlinux

with patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5320026  858418  715768 6894212  693284 vmlinux

This patch:

Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.

a47afb0f9d pid namespaces: round up the API
The set of functions process_session, task_session, process_group and
task_pgrp is confusing, as the names can be mixed with each other when looking
at the code for a long time.

The proposals are to
* equip the functions that return the integer with _nr suffix to
  represent that fact,
* and to make all functions work with task (not process) by making
  the common prefix of the same name.

For monotony the routines signal_session() and set_signal_session() are
replaced with task_session_nr() and set_task_session(), especially since they
are only used with the explicit task->signal dereference.

1864f7bd58 autofs4: deadlock during create
Due to inconsistent locking in the VFS between calls to lookup and
revalidate deadlock can occur in the automounter.

The inconsistency is that the directory inode mutex is held for both lookup
and revalidate calls when called via lookup_hash whereas it is held only
for lookup during a path walk.  Consequently, if the mutex is held during a
call to revalidate autofs4 can't release the mutex to callback the daemon
as it can't know whether it owns the mutex.

This situation happens when a process tries to create a directory within an
automount and a second process also tries to create the same directory
between the lookup and the mkdir.  Since the first process has dropped the
mutex for the daemon callback, the second process takes it during
revalidate leading to deadlock between the autofs daemon and the second
process when the daemon tries to create the mount point directory.

After spending quite a bit of time trying to resolve this on more than one
occassion, using rather complex and ulgy approaches, it turns out that just
delaying the hashing of the dentry until the create operation works fine.

c3724b129b [PATCH] autofs4: fix race in unhashed dentry code
Commit f50b6f8691 introduced a race in
autofs4 between autofs_lookup_unhashed() and autofs_dentry_release().

autofs_dentry_release() ends up clearing the ->dentry and ->inode members
of autofs_info before removing it from the rehash list.  The list is
protected by the rehash lock in both functions, but since
autofs_dentry_release() starts tearing the autofs_info struct down before
removing it from the list, autofs_lookup_unhashed() can get a autofs_info
with a NULL dentry.

This patch moves the clearing of ->dentry and ->inode after the removal
from the rehash list.

c9ffec4848 [PATCH] autofs4: check for directory re-create in lookup
This problem was identified and fixed some time ago by Jeff Moyer but it fell
through the cracks somehow.

It is possible that a user space application could remove and re-create a
directory during a request.  To avoid returning a failure from lookup
incorrectly when our current dentry is unhashed we need to check if another
positive, hashed dentry matching this one exists and if so return it instead
of a fail.

f50b6f8691 [PATCH] autofs4: fix another race between mount and expire
Jeff Moyer has identified a race between mount and expire.

What happens is that during an expire the situation can arise that a directory
is removed and another lookup is done before the expire issues a completion
status to the kernel module.  In this case, since the the lookup gets a new
dentry, it doesn't know that there is an expire in progress and when it posts
its mount request, matches the existing expire request and waits for its
completion.  ENOENT is then returned to user space from lookup (as the dentry
passed in is now unhashed) without having performed the mount request.

The solution used here is to keep track of dentrys in this unhashed state and
reuse them, if possible, in order to preserve the flags.  Additionally, this
infrastructure will provide the framework for the reintroduction of caching of
mount fails removed earlier in development.

9a53c3a783 [PATCH] r/o bind mounts: unlink: monitor i_nlink
When a filesystem decrements i_nlink to zero, it means that a write must be
performed in order to drop the inode from the filesystem.

We're shortly going to have keep filesystems from being remounted r/o between
the time that this i_nlink decrement and that write occurs.

So, add a little helper function to do the decrements.  We'll tie into it in a
bit to note when i_nlink hits zero.

bcdc5e019d [PATCH] autofs4 needs to force fail return revalidate
For a long time now I have had a problem with not being able to return a
lookup failure on an existsing directory.  In autofs this corresponds to a
mount failure on a autofs managed mount entry that is browsable (and so the
mount point directory exists).

While this problem has been present for a long time I've avoided resolving
it because it was not very visible.  But now that autofs v5 has "mount and
expire on demand" of nested multiple mounts, such as is found when mounting
an export list from a server, solving the problem cannot be avoided any
longer.

I've tried very hard to find a way to do this entirely within the autofs4
module but have not been able to find a satisfactory way to achieve it.

So, I need to propose a change to the VFS.

a537055395 [PATCH] autofs4: NFY_NONE wait race fix
This patch fixes two problems.

First, the comparison of entries in the waitq.c was incorrect.

Second, the NFY_NONE check was incorrect. The test of whether the dentry
is mounted if ineffective, for example, if an expire fails then we could
wait forever on a non existant expire. The bug was identified by Jeff
Moyer.

The patch changes autofs4 to wait on expires only as this is all that's
needed.  If there is no existing wait when autofs4_wait is call with a type
of NFY_NONE it delays until either a wait appears or the the expire flag is
cleared.

e0a7aae940 [PATCH] autofs4: expire mounts that hold no (extra) references only
Alter the expire semantics that define how "busyness" is determined.
Currently a last_used counter is updated on every revalidate from processes
other than the mount owner process group.

This patch changes that so that an expire candidate is busy only if it has a
reference count greater than the expected minimum, such as when there is an
open file or working directory in use.

This method is the only way that busyness can be established for direct mounts
within the new implementation.  For consistency the expire semantic is made
the same for all mounts.

A side effect of the patch is that mounts which remain mounted unessessarily
in the presence of some GUI programs that scan the filesystem should now
expire.

1aff3c8b05 [PATCH] autofs4: fix false negative return from expire
Fix the case where an expire returns busy on a tree mount when it is in fact
not busy.  This case was overlooked when the patch to prevent the expiring
away of "scaffolding" directories for tree mounts was applied.

The problem arises when a tree of mounts is a member of a map with other keys.
 The current logic will not expire the tree if any other mount in the map is
busy.  The solution is to maintain a "minimum" use count for each autofs
dentry and compare this to the actual dentry usage count during expire.

2d753e62b8 [PATCH] autofs4: can't mount due to mount point dir not empty
Addresse a problem where stale dentrys stop mounts from happening.

When a mount point directory is pre-created and a non-existent entry within it
is requested a dentry ends up being created within the mount point directory
which stops future mounts.  The problem is solved by ignoring negative,
unhashed dentrys in the mount point d_subdirs list.

Additionally the apparent cacheing of -ENOENT returns from requests is
removed.  The test on d_time is a tautology and d_time is not initialised and
has an unexpected value.  In short it doesn't do what it's meant to.

The cacheing of failed requests to the daemon is important and will be
followed up later.

5160ee6fc8 [PATCH] shrink dentry struct
Some long time ago, dentry struct was carefully tuned so that on 32 bits
UP, sizeof(struct dentry) was exactly 128, ie a power of 2, and a multiple
of memory cache lines.

Then RCU was added and dentry struct enlarged by two pointers, with nice
results for SMP, but not so good on UP, because breaking the above tuning
(128 + 8 = 136 bytes)

This patch reverts this unwanted side effect, by using an union (d_u),
where d_rcu and d_child are placed so that these two fields can share their
memory needs.

At the time d_free() is called (and d_rcu is really used), d_child is known
to be empty and not touched by the dentry freeing.

Lockless lookups only access d_name, d_parent, d_lock, d_op, d_flags (so
the previous content of d_child is not needed if said dentry was unhashed
but still accessed by a CPU because of RCU constraints)

As dentry cache easily contains millions of entries, a size reduction is
worth the extra complexity of the ugly C union.

1684b2bba6 [PATCH] autofs4: bad lookup fix
For browsable autofs maps, a mount request that arrives at the same time an
expire is happening can fail to perform the needed mount.

This happens becuase the directory exists and so the revalidate succeeds when
we need it to fail so that lookup is called on the same dentry to do the
mount.  Instead lookup is called on the next path component which should be
whithin the mount, but the parent isn't mounted.

The solution is to allow the revalidate to continue and perform the mount as
no directory creation (at mount time) is needed for browsable mount entries.

9b1e3afd6d [PATCH] autofs4: avoid panic on bind mount of autofs owned directory
While this is not a solution to bind and move mounts on autofs owned
directories it is necessary to fix the trady error handling.

At least it avoids the kernel panic I observed checking out bug #4589.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
