    afs: Fix directory page locking · b61f7dcf
    David Howells authored
    The afs directory loading code (primarily afs_read_dir()) locks all the
    pages that hold a directory's content blob to defend against
    getdents/getdents races and getdents/lookup races where the competitors
    issue conflicting reads on the same data.  As the reads will complete
    consecutively, they may retrieve different versions of the data and
    one may overwrite the data that the other is busy parsing.
    
    Fix this by not locking the pages at all, but rather by turning the
    validation lock into an rwsem and getting an exclusive lock on it whilst
    reading the data or validating the attributes and a shared lock whilst
    parsing the data.  Sharing the attribute validation lock should be fine as
    the data fetch will retrieve the attributes also.
    
    The individual page locks aren't needed at all as the only place they're
    being used is to serialise data loading.
    
    Without this patch, the:
    
     	if (!test_bit(AFS_VNODE_DIR_VALID, &dvnode->flags)) {
    		...
    	}
    
    part of afs_read_dir() may be skipped, leaving the pages unlocked when we
    hit the success: clause - in which case we try to unlock the not-locked
    pages, leading to the following oops:
