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. Acked-by:

I_MUTEX_QUOTA is now just being used whenever we want to lock two non-directories. So the name isn't right. I_MUTEX_NONDIR2 isn't especially elegant but it's the best I could think of. Also fix some outdated documentation. Acked-by:

Reserve I_MUTEX_PARENT and I_MUTEX_CHILD for locking of actual directories. (Also I_MUTEX_QUOTA isn't really a meaningful name for this locking class any more; fixed in a later patch.) Acked-by:

We want to do this elsewhere as well. Also catch any attempts to use it for directories (where this ordering would conflict with ancestor-first directory ordering in lock_rename). Cc: Andreas Dilger <adilger.kernel@dilger.ca> Cc: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Acked-by:

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.) Reviewed-by:

Also replace 3 easily-confused three-letter acronyms by more helpful variable names. Just cleanup, no change in functionality, with one exception: the dentry_connected() check in the "out_reconnected" case will now only check the ancestors of the current dentry instead of checking all the way from target_dir. Since we've already verified connectivity up to this dentry, that should be sufficient. Reviewed-by:

Note this counter is now being set to 0 on every pass through the loop, so it no longer serves any useful purpose. Reviewed-by:

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.

Once we've found any connected parent, we know all our parents are connected--that's true even if there's a concurrent rename. May as well clear them all at once and be done with it. Reviewed-by:

The DCACHE_NEED_LOOKUP case referred to here was removed with 39e3c955 "vfs: remove DCACHE_NEED_LOOKUP". There are only four real_lookup() callers and all of them pass in an unhashed dentry just returned from d_alloc. Signed-off-by:

DCACHE_DISCONNECTED should not be cleared until we're sure the dentry is connected all the way up to the root of the filesystem. It *shouldn't* be cleared as soon as the dentry is connected to a parent. That will cause bugs at least on exportable filesystems. Acked-by:

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 4b936885 "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.

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 ceb5bdc2 "fs: dcache per-bucket dcache hash locking". Also add a comment while we're here.

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.
