Due to inode number reuse in filesystems, we can end up corrupting the
inode on our client if we apply the file attributes without ensuring that
the filehandle matches.
Typical symptoms include spurious "mode changed" reports in the syslog.

We still do want to ensure that we don't invalidate the dentry if the
inode number matches, but we don't have a filehandle.

<title>fs: make remaining filesystems use .rename2</title>

This is trivial to do:

 - add flags argument to foo_rename()
 - check if flags is zero
 - assign foo_rename() to .rename2 instead of .rename

This doesn't mean it's impossible to support RENAME_NOREPLACE for these
filesystems, but it is not trivial, like for local filesystems.
RENAME_NOREPLACE must guarantee atomicity (i.e. it shouldn't be possible
for a file to be created on one host while it is overwritten by rename on
another host).

Filesystems converted:

9p, afs, ceph, coda, ecryptfs, kernfs, lustre, ncpfs, nfs, ocfs2, orangefs.

After this, we can get rid of the duplicate interfaces for rename.

Before we try to stash it in the dcache, we need to at least check
that the filename passed to us by the server is non-empty and doesn't
contain any illegal '\0' or '/' characters.

Pull NFS client updates from Trond Myklebust:
 "Highlights include:

  Stable bugfixes:
   - nfs: don't create zero-length requests

   - several LAYOUTGET bugfixes

  Features:
   - several performance related features

   - more aggressive caching when we can rely on close-to-open
     cache consistency

   - remove serialisation of O_DIRECT reads and writes

   - optimise several code paths to not flush to disk unnecessarily.

     However allow for the idiosyncracies of pNFS for those layout
     types that need to issue a LAYOUTCOMMIT before the metadata can
     be updated on the server.

   - SUNRPC updates to the client data receive path

   - pNFS/SCSI support RH/Fedora dm-mpath device nodes

   - pNFS files/flexfiles can now use unprivileged ports when
     the generic NFS mount options allow it.

  Bugfixes:
   - Don't use RDMA direct data placement together with data
     integrity or privacy security flavours

   - Remove the RDMA ALLPHYSICAL memory registration mode as
     it has potential security holes.

   - Several layout recall fixes to improve NFSv4.1 protocol
     compliance.

   - Fix an Oops in the pNFS files and flexfiles connection
     setup to the DS

   - Allow retry of operations that used a returned delegation
      stateid

   - Don't mark the inode as revalidated if a LAYOUTCOMMIT is

This changes the vfs dentry hashing to mix in the parent pointer at the
_beginning_ of the hash, rather than at the end.

That actually improves both the hash and the code generation, because we
can move more of the computation to the "static" part of the dcache
setup, and do less at lookup runtime.

It turns out that a lot of other hash users also really wanted to mix in
a base pointer as a 'salt' for the hash, and so the slightly extended
interface ends up working well for other cases too.

Users that want a string hash that is purely about the string pass in a
'salt' pointer of NULL.

* merge branch 'salted-string-hash':
  fs/dcache.c: Save one 32-bit multiply in dcache lookup
  vfs: make the string hashes salt the hash

-&gt;atomic_open() can be given an in-lookup dentry *or* a negative one
found in dcache.  Use d_in_lookup() to tell one from another, rather
than d_unhashed().
