The various vfs_*() helpers are called by filesystems or by the vfs
itself to perform core operations such as create, link, mkdir, mknod, rename,
rmdir, tmpfile and unlink. Enable them to handle idmapped mounts. If the
inode is accessed through an idmapped mount map it into the
mount's user namespace and pass it down. Afterwards the checks and
operations are identical to non-idmapped mounts. If the initial user
namespace is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts will see
identical behavior as before.

In order to handle idmapped mounts we will extend the vfs rename helper
to take two new arguments in follow up patches. Since this operations
already takes a bunch of arguments add a simple struct renamedata and
make the current helper use it before we extend it.

get_seconds() returns an unsigned long can overflow on some architectures
and is deprecated because of that. In cachefs, we cast that number to
a a 32-bit integer, which will overflow in year 2106 on all architectures.

As confirmed by David Howells, the overflow probably isn't harmful
in the end, since the timestamps are only used to make the file names
unique, but they don't strictly have to be in monotonically increasing
order since the files only exist in order to be deleted as quickly
as possible.

Moving to ktime_get_real_seconds() avoids the deprecated interface.

the victim might've been rmdir'ed just before the lock_rename();
unlike the normal callers, we do not look the source up after the
parents are locked - we know it beforehand and just recheck that it's
still the child of what used to be its parent.  Unfortunately,
the check is too weak - we don't spot a dead directory since its
-&gt;d_parent is unchanged, dentry is positive, etc.  So we sail all
the way to -&gt;rename(), with hosting filesystems _not_ expecting
to be asked renaming an rmdir'ed subdirectory.

The fix is easy, fortunately - the lock on parent is sufficient for
making IS_DEADDIR() on child safe.

If we meet a conflicting object that is marked FSCACHE_OBJECT_IS_LIVE in
the active object tree, we have been emitting a BUG after logging
information about it and the new object.

Instead, we should wait for the CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE flag to be cleared
on the old object (or return an error).  The ACTIVE flag should be cleared
after it has been removed from the active object tree.  A timeout of 60s is
used in the wait, so we shouldn't be able to get stuck there.

<title>cachefiles: Fix missing clear of the CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE flag</title>

In cachefiles_mark_object_active(), the new object is marked active and
then we try to add it to the active object tree.  If a conflicting object
is already present, we want to wait for that to go away.  After the wait,
we go round again and try to re-mark the object as being active - but it's
already marked active from the first time we went through and a BUG is
issued.

Fix this by clearing the CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE flag before we try again.

Analysis from Kiran Kumar Modukuri:

[Impact]
Oops during heavy NFS + FSCache + Cachefiles

CacheFiles: Error: Overlong wait for old active object to go away.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000002

CacheFiles: Error: Object already active kernel BUG at
fs/cachefiles/namei.c:163!

[Cause]
In a heavily loaded system with big files being read and truncated, an
fscache object for a cookie is being dropped and a new object being
looked. The new object being looked for has to wait for the old object
to go away before the new object is moved to active state.

[Fix]
Clear the flag 'CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE' for the new object when
retrying the object lookup.

[Testcase]
Have run ~100 hours of NFS stress tests and have not seen this bug recur.

[Regression Potential]
 - Limited to fscache/cachefiles.

That can (and does, on some filesystems) happen - -&gt;mkdir() (and thus
vfs_mkdir()) can legitimately leave its argument negative and just
unhash it, counting upon the lookup to pick the object we'd created
next time we try to look at that name.

Some vfs_mkdir() callers forget about that possibility...
