As it is, we have debugfs_remove() racing with symlink traversals. Supply ->evict_inode() and do freeing there - inode will remain pinned until we are done with the symlink body. And rip the idiocy with checking if dentry is positive right after we'd verified debugfs_positive(), which is a stronger check...

I've noticed significant locking contention in memory reclaimer around sb_lock inside grab_super_passive(). Grab_super_passive() is called from two places: in icache/dcache shrinkers (function super_cache_scan) and from writeback (function __writeback_inodes_wb). Both are required for progress in memory allocator. Grab_super_passive() acquires sb_lock to increment sb->s_count and check sb->s_instances. It seems sb->s_umount locked for read is enough here: super-block deactivation always runs under sb->s_umount locked for write. Protecting super-block itself isn't a problem: in super_cache_scan() sb is protected by shrinker_rwsem: it cannot be freed if its slab shrinkers are still active. Inside writeback super-block comes from inode from bdi writeback list under wb->list_lock. This patch removes locking sb_lock and checks s_instances under s_umount: generic_shutdown_super() unlinks it under sb->s_umount locked for write. New variant is called trylock_super() and since it only locks semaphore, callers must call up_read(&sb->s_umount) instead of drop_super(sb) when they're done.

Fanotify probably doesn't want to watch autodirs so make it use d_can_lookup() rather than d_is_dir() when checking a dir watch and give an error on fake directories. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Fix up the following scripted S_ISDIR/S_ISREG/S_ISLNK conversions (or lack thereof) in cachefiles: (1) Cachefiles mostly wants to use d_can_lookup() rather than d_is_dir() as it doesn't want to deal with automounts in its cache. (2) Coccinelle didn't find S_IS* expressions in ASSERT() statements in cachefiles. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Convert the following where appropriate: (1) S_ISLNK(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_symlink(dentry). (2) S_ISREG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_reg(dentry). (3) S_ISDIR(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_dir(dentry). This is actually more complicated than it appears as some calls should be converted to d_can_lookup() instead. The difference is whether the directory in question is a real dir with a ->lookup op or whether it's a fake dir with a ->d_automount op. In some circumstances, we can subsume checks for dentry->d_inode not being NULL into this, provided we the code isn't in a filesystem that expects d_inode to be NULL if the dirent really *is* negative (ie. if we're going to use d_inode() rather than d_backing_inode() to get the inode pointer). Note that the dentry type field may be set to something other than DCACHE_MISS_TYPE when d_inode is NULL in the case of unionmount, where the VFS manages the fall-through from a negative dentry to a lower layer. In such a case, the dentry type of the negative union dentry is set to the same as the type of the lower dentry. However, if you know d_inode is not NULL at the call site, then you can use the d_is_xxx() functions even in a filesystem. There is one further complication: a 0,0 chardev dentry may be labelled DCACHE_WHITEOUT_TYPE rather than DCACHE_SPECIAL_TYPE. Strictly, this was intended for special directory entry types that don't have attached inodes. The following perl+coccinelle script was used: use strict; my @callers; open($fd, 'git grep -l \'S_IS[A-Z].*->d_inode\' |') || die "Can't grep for S_ISDIR and co. callers"; @callers = <$fd>; close($fd); unless (@callers) { print "No matches\n"; exit(0); } my @cocci = ( '@@', 'expression E;', '@@', '', '- S_ISLNK(E->d_inode->i_mode)', '+ d_is_symlink(E)', '', '@@', 'expression E;', '@@', '', '- S_ISDIR(E->d_inode->i_mode)', '+ d_is_dir(E)', '', '@@', 'expression E;', '@@', '', '- S_ISREG(E->d_inode->i_mode)', '+ d_is_reg(E)' ); my $coccifile = "tmp.sp.cocci"; open($fd, ">$coccifile") || die $coccifile; print($fd "$_\n") || die $coccifile foreach (@cocci); close($fd); foreach my $file (@callers) { chomp $file; print "Processing ", $file, "\n"; system("spatch", "--sp-file", $coccifile, $file, "--in-place", "--no-show-diff") == 0 || die "spatch failed"; } [AV: overlayfs parts skipped] Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Use d_is_positive(dentry) or d_is_negative(dentry) rather than testing dentry->d_inode as the dentry may cover another layer that has an inode when the top layer doesn't or may hold a 0,0 chardev that's actually a whiteout.

Split DCACHE_FILE_TYPE into DCACHE_REGULAR_TYPE (dentries representing regular files) and DCACHE_SPECIAL_TYPE (representing blockdev, chardev, FIFO and socket files). d_is_reg() and d_is_special() are added to detect these subtypes and d_is_file() is left as the union of the two. This allows a number of places that use S_ISREG(dentry->d_inode->i_mode) to use d_is_reg(dentry) instead.

Add a DCACHE_FALLTHRU flag to indicate that, in a layered filesystem, this is a virtual dentry that covers another one in a lower layer that should be used instead. This may be recorded on medium if directory integration is stored there. The flag can be set with d_set_fallthru() and tested with d_is_fallthru().

Introduce some function for getting the inode (and also the dentry) in an environment where layered/unioned filesystems are in operation. The problem is that we have places where we need *both* the union dentry and the lower source or workspace inode or dentry available, but we can only have a handle on one of them. Therefore we need to derive the handle to the other from that. The idea is to introduce an extra field in struct dentry that allows the union dentry to refer to and pin the lower dentry.

Code that does this: if (!(d_unhashed(tmp) && tmp->d_inode)) { ... simple_unlink(parent->d_inode, tmp); } is broken because: !(d_unhashed(tmp) && tmp->d_inode) is equivalent to: !d_unhashed(tmp) || !tmp->d_inode so it is possible to get into simple_unlink() with tmp->d_inode == NULL. simple_unlink(), however, assumes tmp->d_inode cannot be NULL. I think that what was meant is this: !d_unhashed(tmp) && tmp->d_inode and that the logical-not operator or the final close-bracket was misplaced.

Pull networking updates from David Miller: 1) Missing netlink attribute validation in nft_lookup, from Patrick McHardy. 2) Restrict ipv6 partial checksum handling to UDP, since that's the only case it works for. From Vlad Yasevich. 3) Clear out silly device table sentinal macros used by SSB and BCMA drivers. From Joe Perches. 4) Make sure the remote checksum code never creates a situation where the remote checksum is applied yet the tunneling metadata describing the remote checksum transformation is still present. Otherwise an external entity might see this and apply the checksum again. From Tom Herbert. 5) Use msecs_to_jiffies() where applicable, from Nicholas Mc Guire. 6) Don't explicitly initialize timer struct fields, use setup_timer() and mod_timer() instead. From Vaishali Thakkar. 7) Don't invoke tg3_halt() without the tp->lock held, from Jun'ichi Nomura. 8) Missing __percpu annotation in ipvlan driver, from Eric Dumazet. 9) Don't potentially perform skb_get() on shared skbs, also from Eric Dumazet. 10) Fix COW'ing of metrics for non-DST_HOST routes in ipv6, from Martin KaFai Lau. 11) Fix merge resolution error between the iov_iter changes in vhost and some bug fixes that occurred at the same time. From Jason Wang. 12) If rtnl_configure_link() fails we have to perform a call to ->dellink() before unregistering the device.

Commit a7854487: md: When RAID5 is dirty, force reconstruct-write instead of read-modify-write. Causes an RCW cycle to be forced even when the array is degraded. A degraded array cannot support RCW as that requires reading all data blocks, and one may be missing. Forcing an RCW when it is not possible causes a live-lock and the code spins, repeatedly deciding to do something that cannot succeed. So change the condition to only force RCW on non-degraded arrays.
