locks: break delegations on unlink

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.

vfs: take i_mutex on renamed file

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.

exportfs: fix quadratic behavior in filehandle lookup

Suppose we're given the filehandle for a directory whose closest
ancestor in the dcache is its Nth ancestor.

The main loop in reconnect_path searches for an IS_ROOT ancestor of
target_dir, reconnects that ancestor to its parent, then recommences the
search for an IS_ROOT ancestor from target_dir.

This behavior is quadratic in N.  And there's really no need to restart
the search from target_dir each time: once a directory has been looked
up, it won't become IS_ROOT again.  So instead of starting from
target_dir each time, we can continue where we left off.

This simplifies the code and improves performance on very deep directory
heirachies.  (I can't think of any reason anyone should need heirarchies
a hundred or more deep, but the performance improvement may be valuable
if only to limit damage in case of abuse.)

exportfs: stop retrying once we race with rename/remove

There are two places here where we could race with a rename or remove:

- We could find the parent, but then be removed or renamed away
  from that parent directory before finding our name in that
  directory.
- We could find the parent, and find our name in that parent,
  but then be renamed or removed before we look ourselves up by
  that name in that parent.

In both cases the concurrent rename or remove will take care of
reconnecting the directory that we're currently examining.  Our target
directory should then also be connected.  Check this and clear
DISCONNECTED in these cases instead of looping around again.

Note: we *do* need to check that this actually happened if we want to be
robust in the face of corrupted filesystems: a corrupted filesystem
could just return a completely wrong parent, and we want to fail with an
error in that case before starting to clear DISCONNECTED on
non-DISCONNECTED filesystems.

dcache: Don't set DISCONNECTED on "pseudo filesystem" dentries

I can't for the life of me see any reason why anyone should care whether
a dentry that is never hooked into the dentry cache would need
DCACHE_DISCONNECTED set.

This originates from 4b936885ab04dc6e0bb0ef35e0e23c1a7364d9e5 "fs:
improve scalability of pseudo filesystems", which probably just made the
false assumption the DCACHE_DISCONNECTED was meant to be set on anything
not connected to a parent somehow.

So this is just confusing.  Ideally the only uses of DCACHE_DISCONNECTED
would be in the filehandle-lookup code, which needs it to ensure
dentries are connected into the dentry tree before use.

I left d_alloc_pseudo there even though it's now equivalent to
__d_alloc(), just on the theory the name is better documentation of its
intended use outside dcache.c.

dcache: use IS_ROOT to decide where dentry is hashed

Every hashed dentry is either hashed in the dentry_hashtable, or a
superblock's s_anon list.

__d_drop() assumes it can determine which is the case by checking
DCACHE_DISCONNECTED; this is not true.

It is true that when DCACHE_DISCONNECTED is cleared, the dentry is not
only hashed on dentry_hashtable, but is fully connected to its parents
back to the root.

But the converse is *not* true: fs/exportfs/expfs.c:reconnect_path()
attempts to connect a directory (found by filehandle lookup) back to
root by ascending to parents and performing lookups one at a time.  It
does not clear DCACHE_DISCONNECTED until it's done, and that is not at
all an atomic process.

In particular, it is possible for DCACHE_DISCONNECTED to be set on a
dentry which is hashed on the dentry_hashtable.

Instead, use IS_ROOT() to check which hash chain a dentry is on.  This
*does* work:

Dentries are hashed only by:

- d_obtain_alias, which adds an IS_ROOT() dentry to sb_anon.

- __d_rehash, called by _d_rehash: hashes to the dentry's
  parent, and all callers of _d_rehash appear to have d_parent
  set to a "real" parent.
- __d_rehash, called by __d_move: rehashes the moved dentry to
  hash chain determined by target, and assigns target's d_parent
  to its d_parent, before dropping the dentry's d_lock.

Therefore I believe it's safe for a holder of a dentry's d_lock to
assume that it is hashed on sb_anon if and only if IS_ROOT(dentry) is
true.

I believe the incorrect assumption about DCACHE_DISCONNECTED was
originally introduced by ceb5bdc2d246 "fs: dcache per-bucket dcache hash
locking".

Also add a comment while we're here.

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.
