If d_alloc_parallel() returns ERR_PTR(...), we don't want to dput()
that.  Small reorganization allows to have all error-in-lookup
cases rejoin the main codepath after dput(child), avoiding the
entire problem.

First of all, calling pid_revalidate() in the end of <pid>/* lookups
is *not* about closing any kind of races; that used to be true once
upon a time, but these days those comments are actively misleading.
Especially since pid_revalidate() doesn't even do d_drop() on
failure anymore.  It doesn't matter, anyway, since once
pid_revalidate() starts returning false, ->d_delete() of those
dentries starts saying "don't keep"; they won't get stuck in
dcache any longer than they are pinned.

These calls cannot be just removed, though - the side effect of
pid_revalidate() (updating i_uid/i_gid/etc.) is what we are calling
it for here.

Let's separate the "update ownership" into a new helper (pid_update_inode())
and use it, both in lookups and in pid_revalidate() itself.

The comments in pid_revalidate() are also out of date - they refer to
the time when pid_revalidate() used to call d_drop() directly...

That's one case when unlink() destroys a subtree, thanks to "resource

for now let's just disallow overmounting; as it is, anything that
plays games with those would leak mounts.

kill_ioctx() used to have an explicit RCU delay between removing the
reference from ->ioctx_table and percpu_ref_kill() dropping the refcount.
At some point that delay had been removed, on the theory that
percpu_ref_kill() itself contained an RCU delay.  Unfortunately, that was
the wrong kind of RCU delay and it didn't care about rcu_read_lock() used
by lookup_ioctx().  As the result, we could get ctx freed right under
lookup_ioctx().  Tejun has fixed that in a6d7cff4 ("fs/aio: Add explicit
RCU grace period when freeing kioctx"); however, that fix is not enough.

Suppose io_destroy() from one thread races with e.g. io_setup() from another;
CPU1 removes the reference from current->mm->ioctx_table[...] just as CPU2
has picked it (under rcu_read_lock()).  Then CPU1 proceeds to drop the
refcount, getting it to 0 and triggering a call of free_ioctx_users(),
which proceeds to drop the secondary refcount and once that reaches zero
calls free_ioctx_reqs().  That does
        INIT_RCU_WORK(&ctx->free_rwork, free_ioctx);
        queue_rcu_work(system_wq, &ctx->free_rwork);
and schedules freeing the whole thing after RCU delay.

In the meanwhile CPU2 has gotten around to percpu_ref_get(), bumping the
refcount from 0 to 1 and returned the reference to io_setup().

Tejun's fix (that queue_rcu_work() in there) guarantees that ctx won't get
freed until after percpu_ref_get().  Sure, we'd increment the counter before
ctx can be freed.  Now we are out of rcu_read_lock() and there's nothing to
stop freeing of the whole thing.  Unfortunately, CPU2 assumes that since it
has grabbed the reference, ctx is *NOT* going away until it gets around to
dropping that reference.

The fix is obvious - use percpu_ref_tryget_live() and treat failure as miss.
It's not costlier than what we currently do in normal case, it's safe to
call since freeing *is* delayed and it closes the race window - either
lookup_ioctx() comes before percpu_ref_kill() (in which case ctx->users
won't reach 0 until the caller of lookup_ioctx() drops it) or lookup_ioctx()
fails, ctx->users is unaffected and caller of lookup_ioctx() doesn't see
the object in question at all.

open file, unlink it, then use ioctl(2) to make it immutable or
append only.  Now close it and watch the blocks *not* freed...

Immutable/append-only checks belong in ->setattr().
Note: the bug is old and backport to anything prior to 737f2e93
("ext2: convert to use the new truncate convention") will need
these checks lifted into ext2_setattr().

unhash it, counting upon the lookup to pick the object we'd created

new_sb is left uninitialized in case of early failures in kernfs_mount_ns(),
and while IS_ERR(root) is true in all such cases, using IS_ERR(root) || !new_sb
is not a solution - IS_ERR(root) is true in some cases when new_sb is true.

Make sure new_sb is initialized (and matches the reality) in all cases and
fix the condition for dropping kobj reference - we want it done precisely
in those situations where the reference has not been transferred into a new
super_block instance.

Making something exportable takes more than providing ->s_export_ops.

as it is, exporting AFFS is badly (and exploitably) broken.
