commit 5556e7e6d30e8e9b5ee51b0e5edd526ee80e5e36 upstream.

Consider eCryptfs dcache entries to be stale when the corresponding
lower inode's i_nlink count is zero. This solves a problem caused by the
lower inode being directly modified, without going through the eCryptfs
mount, leaving stale eCryptfs dentries cached and the eCryptfs inode's
i_nlink count not being cleared.

The FITRIM ioctl has the same arguments on 32-bit and 64-bit
architectures, so we can add it to the list of compatible ioctls and
drop it from compat_ioctl method of various filesystems.

a) instead of storing the symlink body (via nd_set_link()) and returning
an opaque pointer later passed to -&gt;put_link(), -&gt;follow_link() _stores_
that opaque pointer (into void * passed by address by caller) and returns
the symlink body.  Returning ERR_PTR() on error, NULL on jump (procfs magic
symlinks) and pointer to symlink body for normal symlinks.  Stored pointer
is ignored in all cases except the last one.

Storing NULL for opaque pointer (or not storing it at all) means no call
of -&gt;put_link().

b) the body used to be passed to -&gt;put_link() implicitly (via nameidata).
Now only the opaque pointer is.  In the cases when we used the symlink body
to free stuff, -&gt;follow_link() now should store it as opaque pointer in addition
to returning it.

All places outside of core VFS that checked -&gt;read and -&gt;write for being NULL or
called the methods directly are gone now, so NULL {read,write} with non-NULL
{read,write}_iter will do the right thing in all cases.

struct kiocb now is a generic I/O container, so move it to fs.h.
Also do a #include diet for aio.h while we're at it.

<title>fs: don't allow to complete sync iocbs through aio_complete</title>

The AIO interface is fairly complex because it tries to allow
filesystems to always work async and then wakeup a synchronous
caller through aio_complete.  It turns out that basically no one
was doing this to avoid the complexity and context switches,
and we've already fixed up the remaining users and can now
get rid of this case.
