When explicitly hashing the end of a string with the word-at-a-time
interface, we have to be careful which end of the word we pick up.
On big-endian CPUs, the upper-bits will contain the data we're after, so
ensure we generate our masks accordingly (and avoid hashing whatever
random junk may have been sitting after the string).
This patch adds a new dcache helper, bytemask_from_count, which creates
a mask appropriate for the CPU endianness.

Failure to grab reference to parent dentry should go through the
same cleanup as nd->seq mismatch. As it is, we might end up with
caller thinking it needs to path_put() nd->root, with obvious
nasty results once we'd hit that bug enough times to drive the
refcount of root dentry all the way to zero...

We need to break delegations on any operation that changes the set of
links pointing to an inode. Start with unlink.
Such operations also hold the i_mutex on a parent directory. Breaking a
delegation may require waiting for a timeout (by default 90 seconds) in
the case of a unresponsive NFS client. To avoid blocking all directory
operations, we therefore drop locks before waiting for the delegation.
The logic then looks like:
acquire locks
...
test for delegation; if found:
take reference on inode
release locks
wait for delegation break
drop reference on inode
retry
It is possible this could never terminate. (Even if we take precautions
to prevent another delegation being acquired on the same inode, we could
get a different inode on each retry.) But this seems very unlikely.
The initial test for a delegation happens after the lock on the target
inode is acquired, but the directory inode may have been acquired
further up the call stack. We therefore add a "struct inode **"
argument to any intervening functions, which we use to pass the inode
back up to the caller in the case it needs a delegation synchronously
broken.

A read delegation is used by NFSv4 as a guarantee that a client can
perform local read opens without informing the server.
The open operation takes the last component of the pathname as an
argument, thus is also a lookup operation, and giving the client the
above guarantee means informing the client before we allow anything that
would change the set of names pointing to the inode.
Therefore, we need to break delegations on rename, link, and unlink.
We also need to prevent new delegations from being acquired while one of
these operations is in progress.
We could add some completely new locking for that purpose, but it's
simpler to use the i_mutex, since that's already taken by all the
operations we care about.
The single exception is rename. So, modify rename to take the i_mutex
on the file that is being renamed.
Also fix up lockdep and Documentation/filesystems/directory-locking to
reflect the change.

Put a type field into struct dentry::d_flags to indicate if the dentry is one
of the following types that relate particularly to pathwalk:
Miss (negative dentry)
Directory
"Automount" directory (defective - no i_op->lookup())
Symlink
Other (regular, socket, fifo, device)
The type field is set to one of the first five types on a dentry by calls to
__d_instantiate() and d_obtain_alias() from information in the inode (if one is
given).
The type is cleared by dentry_unlink_inode() when it reconstitutes an existing
dentry as a negative dentry.
Accessors provided are:
d_set_type(dentry, type)
d_is_directory(dentry)
d_is_autodir(dentry)
d_is_symlink(dentry)
d_is_file(dentry)
d_is_negative(dentry)
d_is_positive(dentry)
A bunch of checks in pathname resolution switched to those.

* RCU-delayed freeing of vfsmounts
* vfsmount_lock replaced with a seqlock (mount_lock)
* sequence number from mount_lock is stored in nameidata->m_seq and
used when we exit RCU mode
* new vfsmount flag - MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT. Set by umount_tree() when its
caller knows that vfsmount will have no surviving references.
* synchronize_rcu() done between unlocking namespace_sem in namespace_unlock()
and doing pending mntput().
* new helper: legitimize_mnt(mnt, seq). Checks the mount_lock sequence
number against seq, then grabs reference to mnt. Then it rechecks mount_lock
again to close the race and either returns success or drops the reference it
has acquired. The subtle point is that in case of MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT we can
simply decrement the refcount and sod off - aforementioned synchronize_rcu()
makes sure that final mntput() won't come until we leave RCU mode. We need
that, since we don't want to end up with some lazy pathwalk racing with
umount() and stealing the final mntput() from it - caller of umount() may
expect it to return only once the fs is shut down and we don't want to break
that. In other cases (i.e. with MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT absent) we have to do
full-blown mntput() in case of mount_lock sequence number mismatch happening
just as we'd grabbed the reference, but in those cases we won't be stealing
the final mntput() from anything that would care.
* mntput_no_expire() doesn't lock anything on the fast path now. Incidentally,
SMP and UP cases are handled the same way - no ifdefs there.
* normal pathname resolution does *not* do any writes to mount_lock. It does,
of course, bump the refcounts of vfsmount and dentry in the very end, but that's
it.

Historically, when a syscall that creates a dentry fails, you get an audit
record that looks something like this (when trying to create a file named
"new" in "/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63"):
type=PATH msg=audit(1366128956.279:965): item=0 name="/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63/new" inode=2138308 dev=fd:02 mode=040700 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=staff_u:object_r:user_tmp_t:s15:c0.c1023
This record makes no sense since it's associating the inode information for
"/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63" with the path "/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63/new". The recent
patch I posted to fix the audit_inode call in do_last fixes this, by making it
look more like this:
type=PATH msg=audit(1366128765.989:13875): item=0 name="/tmp/tmp.DJ1O8V3e4f/" inode=141 dev=fd:02 mode=040700 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=staff_u:object_r:user_tmp_t:s15:c0.c1023
While this is more correct, if the creation of the file fails, then we
have no record of the filename that the user tried to create.
This patch adds a call to audit_inode_child to may_create. This creates
an AUDIT_TYPE_CHILD_CREATE record that will sit in place until the
create succeeds. When and if the create does succeed, then this record
will be updated with the correct inode info from the create.
This fixes what was broken in commit bfcec708.
Commit 79f6530c should also be backported to stable v3.7+.

If O_CREAT|O_EXCL are passed to open, then we know that either
- the file is successfully created, or
- the operation fails in some way.
So previously we set FILE_CREATED before calling ->atomic_open() so the
filesystem doesn't have to. This, however, led to bugs in the
implementation that went unnoticed when the filesystem didn't check for
existence, yet returned success. To prevent this kind of bug, require
filesystems to always explicitly set FILE_CREATED on O_CREAT|O_EXCL and
verify this in the VFS.
Also added a couple more verifications for the result of atomic_open():
- Warn if filesystem set FILE_CREATED despite the lack of O_CREAT.
- Warn if filesystem set FILE_CREATED but gave a negative dentry.

When I moved the RCU walk termination into unlazy_walk(), I didn't copy
quite all of it: for the successful RCU termination we properly add the
necessary reference counts to our temporary copy of the root path, but
for the failure case we need to make sure that any temporary root path
information is cleared out (since it does _not_ have the proper
reference counts from the RCU lookup).
We could clean up this mess by just always dropping the temporary root
information, but Al points out that that would mean that a single lookup
through symlinks could see multiple different root entries if it races
with another thread doing chroot. Not that I think we should really
care (we had that before too, back before we had a copy of the root path
in the nameidata).
Al says he has a cunning plan. In the meantime, this is the minimal fix
for the problem, even if it's not all that pretty.

This is the fix that the last two commits indirectly led up to - making
sure that we don't call dput() in a bad context on the dentries we've
looked up in RCU mode after the sequence count validation fails.
This basically expands d_rcu_to_refcount() into the callers, and then
fixes the callers to delay the dput() in the failure case until _after_
we've dropped all locks and are no longer in an RCU-locked region.
The case of 'complete_walk()' was trivial, since its failure case did
the unlock_rcu_walk() directly after the call to d_rcu_to_refcount(),
and as such that is just a pure expansion of the function with a trivial
movement of the resulting dput() to after 'unlock_rcu_walk()'.
In contrast, the unlazy_walk() case was much more complicated, because
not only does convert two different dentries from RCU to be reference
counted, but it used to not call unlock_rcu_walk() at all, and instead
just returned an error and let the caller clean everything up in
"terminate_walk()".
Happily, one of the dentries in question (called "parent" inside
unlazy_walk()) is the dentry of "nd->path", which terminate_walk() wants
a refcount to anyway for the non-RCU case.
So what the new and improved unlazy_walk() does is to first turn that
dentry into a refcounted one, and once that is set up, the error cases
can continue to use the terminate_walk() helper for cleanup, but for the
non-RCU case. Which makes it possible to drop out of RCU mode if we
actually hit the sequence number failure case.

This simplifies the RCU to refcounting code in particular.
I was originally intending to leave this for later, but walking through
all the dput() logic (see previous commit), I realized that the dput()
"might_sleep()" check was misleadingly weak. And I removed it as
misleading, both for performance profiling and for debugging.
However, the might_sleep() debugging case is actually true: the final
dput() can indeed sleep, if the inode of the dentry that you are
releasing ends up sleeping at iput time (see dentry_iput()). So the
problem with the might_sleep() in dput() wasn't that it wasn't true, it
was that it wasn't actually testing and triggering on the interesting
case.
In particular, just about *any* dput() can indeed sleep, if you happen
to race with another thread deleting the file in question, and you then
lose the race to the be the last dput() for that file. But because it's
a very rare race, the debugging code would never trigger it in practice.
Why is this problematic? The new d_rcu_to_refcount() (see commit
15570086b590: "vfs: reimplement d_rcu_to_refcount() using
lockref_get_or_lock()") does a dput() for the failure case, and it does
it under the RCU lock. So potentially sleeping really is a bug.
But there's no way I'm going to fix this with the previous complicated
"lockref_get_or_lock()" interface. And rather than revert to the old
and crufty nested dentry locking code (which did get this right by
delaying the reference count updates until they were verified to be
safe), let's make forward progress.

Christopher reported a regression where he was unable to unmount a NFS
filesystem where the root had gone stale. The problem is that
d_revalidate handles the root of the filesystem differently from other
dentries, but d_weak_revalidate does not. We could simply fix this by
making d_weak_revalidate return success on IS_ROOT dentries, but there
are cases where we do want to revalidate the root of the fs.
A umount is really a special case. We generally aren't interested in
anything but the dentry and vfsmount that's attached at that point. If
the inode turns out to be stale we just don't care since the intent is
to stop using it anyway.
Try to handle this situation better by treating umount as a special
case in the lookup code. Have it resolve the parent using normal
means, and then do a lookup of the final dentry without revalidating
it. In most cases, the final lookup will come out of the dcache, but
the case where there's a trailing symlink or !LAST_NORM entry on the
end complicates things a bit.

This moves __d_rcu_to_refcount() from <linux/dcache.h> into fs/namei.c
and re-implements it using the lockref infrastructure instead. It also
adds a lot of comments about what is actually going on, because turning
a dentry that was looked up using RCU into a long-lived reference
counted entry is one of the more subtle parts of the rcu walk.
We also used to be _particularly_ subtle in unlazy_walk() where we
re-validate both the dentry and its parent using the same sequence
count. We used to do it by nesting the locks and then verifying the
sequence count just once.
That was silly, because nested locking is expensive, but the sequence
count check is not. So this just re-validates the dentry and the parent
separately, avoiding the nested locking, and making the lockref lookup
possible.

This just replaces the dentry count/lock combination with the lockref
structure that contains both a count and a spinlock, and does the
mechanical conversion to use the lockref infrastructure.
There are no semantic changes here, it's purely syntactic. The
reference lockref implementation uses the spinlock exactly the same way
that the old dcache code did, and the bulk of this patch is just
expanding the internal "d_count" use in the dcache code to use
"d_lockref.count" instead.
This is purely preparation for the real change to make the reference
count updates be lockless during the 3.12 merge window.
[ As with the previous commit, this is a rewritten version of a concept
originally from Waiman, so credit goes to him, blame for any errors
goes to me.
Waiman's patch had some semantic differences for taking advantage of
the lockless update in dget_parent(), while this patch is
intentionally a pure search-and-replace change with no semantic
changes. - Linus ]

It wasn't necessarily wrong per se, but we're still busily discussing
the exact details of this all, so I'm going to revert it for now.
It's true that you can already do flink() through /proc and that flink()
isn't new. But as Brad Spengler points out, some secure environments do
not mount proc, and flink adds a new interface that can avoid path
lookup of the source for those kinds of environments.
We may re-do this (and even mark it for stable backporting back in 3.11
and possibly earlier) once the whole discussion about the interface is done.

Every now and then someone proposes a new flink syscall, and this spawns
a long discussion of whether it would be a security problem. I think
that this is missing the point: flink is *already* allowed without
privilege as long as /proc is mounted -- it's called AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW.
Now that O_TMPFILE is here, the ability to create a file with O_TMPFILE,
write it, and link it in is very convenient. The only problem is that
it requires that /proc be mounted so that you can do:
linkat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/self/fd/<tmpfd>", dfd, path, AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW)
This sucks -- it's much nicer to do:
linkat(tmpfd, "", dfd, path, AT_EMPTY_PATH)
Let's allow it.
If this turns out to be excessively scary, it we could instead require
that the inode in question be I_LINKABLE, but this seems pointless given
the /proc situation

Instances either don't look at it at all (the majority of cases) or
only want it to find the superblock (which can be had as dentry->d_sb).
A few cases that want more are actually safe with dentry->d_inode -
the only precaution needed is the check that it hadn't been replaced with

Pull audit changes from Eric Paris:
"Al used to send pull requests every couple of years but he told me to
just start pushing them to you directly.
Our touching outside of core audit code is pretty straight forward. A
couple of interface changes which hit net/. A simple argument bug
calling audit functions in namei.c and the removal of some assembly
branch prediction code on ppc"

Jiri reported a regression in auditing of open(..., O_CREAT) syscalls.
In older kernels, creating a file with open(..., O_CREAT) created
audit_name records that looked like this:
type=PATH msg=audit(1360255720.628:64): item=1 name="/abc/foo" inode=138810 dev=fd:00 mode=0100640 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0
type=PATH msg=audit(1360255720.628:64): item=0 name="/abc/" inode=138635 dev=fd:00 mode=040750 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0
...in recent kernels though, they look like this:
type=PATH msg=audit(1360255402.886:12574): item=2 name=(null) inode=264599 dev=fd:00 mode=0100640 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0
type=PATH msg=audit(1360255402.886:12574): item=1 name=(null) inode=264598 dev=fd:00 mode=040750 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0
type=PATH msg=audit(1360255402.886:12574): item=0 name="/abc/foo" inode=264598 dev=fd:00 mode=040750 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0
Richard bisected to determine that the problems started with commit
bfcec708, but the log messages have changed with some later
audit-related patches.
The problem is that this audit_inode call is passing in the parent of
the dentry being opened, but audit_inode is being called with the parent
flag false. This causes later audit_inode and audit_inode_child calls to
match the wrong entry in the audit_names list.
This patch simply sets the flag to properly indicate that this inode
represents the parent. With this, the audit_names entries are back to
looking like they did before.

It's "normal" - it can happen if the file descriptor you followed was
opened with O_NOFOLLOW.

The following set of operations on a NFS client and server will cause
server# mkdir a
client# cd a
server# mv a a.bak
client# sleep 30 # (or whatever the dir attrcache timeout is)
client# stat .
stat: cannot stat `.': Stale NFS file handle
Obviously, we should not be getting an ESTALE error back there since the
inode still exists on the server. The problem is that the lookup code
will call d_revalidate on the dentry that "." refers to, because NFS has
FS_REVAL_DOT set.
nfs_lookup_revalidate will see that the parent directory has changed and
will try to reverify the dentry by redoing a LOOKUP. That of course
fails, so the lookup code returns ESTALE.
The problem here is that d_revalidate is really a bad fit for this case.
What we really want to know at this point is whether the inode is still
good or not, but we don't really care what name it goes by or whether
the dcache is still valid.
Add a new d_op->d_weak_revalidate operation and have complete_walk call
that instead of d_revalidate. The intent there is to allow for a
"weaker" d_revalidate that just checks to see whether the inode is still
good. This is also gives us an opportunity to kill off the FS_REVAL_DOT
special casing.
[AV: changed method name, added note in porting, fixed confusion re
having it possibly called from RCU mode (it won't be)]
