	The important part in sockfd_lookup_light() is avoiding needless
file refcount operations, not the marginal reduction of the register
pressure from not keeping a struct file pointer in the caller.

	Switch to use fdget()/fdpu(); with sane use of CLASS(fd) we can
get a better code generation...

	Would be nice if somebody tested it on networking test suites
(including benchmarks)...

	sockfd_lookup_light() does fdget(), uses sock_from_file() to
get the associated socket and returns the struct socket reference to
the caller, along with "do we need to fput()" flag.  No matching fdput(),
the caller does its equivalent manually, using the fact that sock-&gt;file
points to the struct file the socket has come from.

	Get rid of that - have the callers do fdget()/fdput() and
use sock_from_file() directly.  That kills sockfd_lookup_light()
and fput_light() (no users left).

	What's more, we can get rid of explicit fdget()/fdput() by
switching to CLASS(fd, ...) - code generation does not suffer, since
now fdput() inserted on "descriptor is not opened" failure exit
is recognized to be a no-op by compiler.

Once upon a time, predecessors of those used to do file lookup
without bumping a refcount, provided that caller held rcu_read_lock()
across the lookup and whatever it wanted to read from the struct
file found.  When struct file allocation switched to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU,
that stopped being feasible and these primitives started to bump the
file refcount for lookup result, requiring the caller to call fput()
afterwards.

But that turned them pointless - e.g.
	rcu_read_lock();
	file = lookup_fdget_rcu(fd);
	rcu_read_unlock();
is equivalent to
	file = fget_raw(fd);
and all callers of lookup_fdget_rcu() are of that form.  Similarly,
task_lookup_fdget_rcu() calls can be replaced with calling fget_task().
task_lookup_next_fdget_rcu() doesn't have direct counterparts, but
its callers would be happier if we replaced it with an analogue that
deals with RCU internally.

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Recently, we added the ability to list mounts in other mount
  namespaces and the ability to retrieve namespace file descriptors
  without having to go through procfs by deriving them from pidfds.

  This extends nsfs in two ways:

   (1) Add the ability to retrieve information about a mount namespace
       via NS_MNT_GET_INFO.

       This will return the mount namespace id and the number of mounts
       currently in the mount namespace. The number of mounts can be
       used to size the buffer that needs to be used for listmount() and
       is in general useful without having to actually iterate through
       all the mounts.

      The structure is extensible.

   (2) Add the ability to iterate through all mount namespaces over
       which the caller holds privilege returning the file descriptor
       for the next or previous mount namespace.

       To retrieve a mount namespace the caller must be privileged wrt
       to it's owning user namespace. This means that PID 1 on the host
       can list all mounts in all mount namespaces or that a container
       can list all mounts of its nested containers.

       Optionally pass a structure for NS_MNT_GET_INFO with
       NS_MNT_GET_{PREV,NEXT} to retrieve information about the mount
       namespace in one go.

  (1) and (2) can be implemented for other namespace types easily.

  Together with recent api additions this means one can iterate through
  all mounts in all mount namespaces without ever touching procfs.

  The commit message in 49224a345c48 ('Merge patch series "nsfs: iterate
  through mount namespaces"') contains example code how to do this"

New helpers: BORROWED_FD(file) and CLONED_FD(file), for
borrowed and cloned file references resp.

	NOTE: this might need tuning; in particular, inline on
__fget_light() is there to keep the code generation same as
before - we probably want to keep it inlined in fdget() et.al.
(especially so in fdget_pos()), but that needs profiling.

	We want the compiler to see that fdput() on empty instance
is a no-op.  The emptiness check is that file reference is NULL,
while fdput() is "fput() if FDPUT_FPUT is present in flags".
The reason why fdput() on empty instance is a no-op is something
compiler can't see - it's that we never generate instances with
NULL file reference combined with non-zero flags.

	It's not that hard to deal with - the real primitives behind
fdget() et.al. are returning an unsigned long value, unpacked by (inlined)
__to_fd() into the current struct file * + int.  The lower bits are
used to store flags, while the rest encodes the pointer.  Linus suggested
that keeping this unsigned long around with the extractions done by inlined
accessors should generate a sane code and that turns out to be the case.
Namely, turning struct fd into a struct-wrapped unsinged long, with
        fd_empty(f) =&gt; unlikely(f.word == 0)
	fd_file(f) =&gt; (struct file *)(f.word &amp; ~3)
	fdput(f) =&gt; if (f.word &amp; 1) fput(fd_file(f))
ends up with compiler doing the right thing.  The cost is the patch
footprint, of course - we need to switch f.file to fd_file(f) all over
the tree, and it's not doable with simple search and replace; there are
false positives, etc.

	Note that the sole member of that structure is an opaque
unsigned long - all accesses should be done via wrappers and I don't
want to use a name that would invite manual casts to file pointers,
etc.  The value of that member is equal either to (unsigned long)p | flags,
p being an address of some struct file instance, or to 0 for an empty fd.

	For now the new predicate (fd_empty(f)) has no users; all the
existing checks have form (!fd_file(f)).  We will convert to fd_empty()
use later; here we only define it (and tell the compiler that it's
unlikely to return true).

	This commit only deals with representation change; there will
be followups.

        fd_empty(f) =&gt; unlikely(f.word == 0)
	fd_file(f) =&gt; (struct file *)(f.word &amp; ~3)
	fdput(f) =&gt; if (f.word &amp; 1) fput(fd_file(f))
ends up with compiler doing the right thing.  The cost is the patch
footprint, of course - we need to switch f.file to fd_file(f) all over
the tree, and it's not doable with simple search and replace; there are
false positives, etc.

	Note that the sole member of that structure is an opaque
unsigned long - all accesses should be done via wrappers and I don't
want to use a name that would invite manual casts to file pointers,
etc.  The value of that member is equal either to (unsigned long)p | flags,
p being an address of some struct file instance, or to 0 for an empty fd.

	For now the new predicate (fd_empty(f)) has no users; all the
existing checks have form (!fd_file(f)).  We will convert to fd_empty()
use later; here we only define it (and tell the compiler that it's
unlikely to return true).

	This commit only deals with representation change; there will
be followups.

	For any changes of struct fd representation we need to
turn existing accesses to fields into calls of wrappers.
Accesses to struct fd::flags are very few (3 in linux/file.h,
1 in net/socket.c, 3 in fs/overlayfs/file.c and 3 more in
explicit initializers).
	Those can be dealt with in the commit converting to
new layout; accesses to struct fd::file are too many for that.
	This commit converts (almost) all of f.file to
fd_file(f).  It's not entirely mechanical ('file' is used as
a member name more than just in struct fd) and it does not
even attempt to distinguish the uses in pointer context from
those in boolean context; the latter will be eventually turned
into a separate helper (fd_empty()).

	NOTE: mass conversion to fd_empty(), tempting as it
might be, is a bad idea; better do that piecewise in commit
that convert from fdget...() to CLASS(...).

[conflicts in fs/fhandle.c, kernel/bpf/syscall.c, mm/memcontrol.c
caught by git; fs/stat.c one got caught by git grep]
[fs/xattr.c conflict]
