Fix bug introduced by commit 4582a4ab2a "FUSE: Adapt readdirplus to application
usage patterns".
We need to check for a positive dentry; negative dentries are not added by
readdirplus. Secondly we need to advise the use of readdirplus on the *parent*,
otherwise the whole thing is useless. Thirdly all this is only relevant if
"readdirplus_auto" mode is selected by the filesystem.
We advise the use of readdirplus only if the dentry was still valid. If we had
to redo the lookup then there was no use in doing the -plus version.

Existing flag fc->blocked is used to suspend request allocation both in case
of many background request submitted and period of time before init_reply
arrives from userspace. Next patch will skip blocking allocations of
synchronous request (disregarding fc->blocked). This is mostly OK, but
we still need to suspend allocations if init_reply is not arrived yet. The
patch introduces flag fc->initialized which will serve this purpose.

There are two types of processing requests in FUSE: synchronous (via
fuse_request_send()) and asynchronous (via adding to fc->bg_queue).
Fortunately, the type of processing is always known in advance, at the time
of request allocation. This preparatory patch utilizes this fact making
fuse_get_req() aware about the type. Next patches will use it.

Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
to match.
A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.
Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
making things safer with no real cost.
Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
with blacklist and alias directives. Allowing simple, safe,
well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.
This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
would not work. While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
cases. The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
autofs4.
This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.
After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
module. The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
without regards to the users permissions. In general all a filesystem
module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted. In a user
namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
which most filesystems do not set today.

The patch categorizes all fuse_get_req() invocations into two categories:
- fuse_get_req_nopages(fc) - when caller doesn't care about req->pages
- fuse_get_req(fc, n) - when caller need n page pointers (n > 0)
Adding fuse_get_req_nopages() helps to avoid numerous fuse_get_req(fc, 0)
scattered over code. Now it's clear from the first glance when a caller need
fuse_req with page pointers.

This patch implements readdirplus support in FUSE, similar to NFS.
The payload returned in the readdirplus call contains
'fuse_entry_out' structure thereby providing all the necessary inputs
for 'faking' a lookup() operation on the spot.
If the dentry and inode already existed (for e.g. in a re-run of ls -l)
then just the inode attributes timeout and dentry timeout are refreshed.
With a simple client->network->server implementation of a FUSE based
filesystem, the following performance observations were made:
Test: Performing a filesystem crawl over 20,000 files with
sh# time ls -lR /mnt
Without readdirplus:
Run 1: 18.1s
Run 2: 16.0s
Run 3: 16.2s
With readdirplus:
Run 1: 4.1s
Run 2: 3.8s
Run 3: 3.8s
The performance improvement is significant as it avoided 20,000 upcalls
calls (lookup). Cache consistency is no worse than what already is.

Use kuid_t and kgid_t in struct fuse_conn and struct fuse_mount_data.
The connection between between a fuse filesystem and a fuse daemon is
established when a fuse filesystem is mounted and provided with a file
descriptor the fuse daemon created by opening /dev/fuse.
For now restrict the communication of uids and gids between the fuse
filesystem and the fuse daemon to the initial user namespace. Enforce
this by verifying the file descriptor passed to the mount of fuse was
opened in the initial user namespace. Ensuring the mount happens in
the initial user namespace is not necessary as mounts from non-initial
user namespaces are not yet allowed.
In fuse_req_init_context convert the currrent fsuid and fsgid into the
initial user namespace for the request that will be sent to the fuse
daemon.
In fuse_fill_attr convert the uid and gid passed from the fuse daemon
from the initial user namespace into kuids and kgids.
In iattr_to_fattr called from fuse_setattr convert kuids and kgids
into the uids and gids in the initial user namespace before passing
them to the fuse filesystem.
In fuse_change_attributes_common called from fuse_dentry_revalidate,
fuse_permission, fuse_geattr, and fuse_setattr, and fuse_iget convert
the uid and gid from the fuse daemon into a kuid and a kgid to store
on the fuse inode.
By default fuse mounts are restricted to task whose uid, suid, and
euid matches the fuse user_id and whose gid, sgid, and egid matches
the fuse group id. Convert the user_id and group_id mount options
into kuids and kgids at mount time, and use uid_eq and gid_eq to
compare the in fuse_allow_task.

- it's not backward compatible, passing flock(2) calls to userspace

- it doesn't cater for the fact that flock locks are automatically
unlocked on file release
- it doesn't take into account the fact that flock exclusive locks
(write locks) don't need an fd opened for write.
The last one invalidates the original premise of the patch that flock
locks can be emulated with POSIX locks.
This patch fixes the first two issues. The last one needs to be fixed
in userspace if the filesystem assumed that a write lock will happen
only on a file operned for write (as in the case of the current fuse
library).

Caching "we have already removed suid/caps" was overenthusiastic as merged.
On network filesystems we might have had suid/caps set on another client,
silently picked by this client on revalidate, all of that *without* clearing
the S_NOSEC flag.
AFAICS, the only reasonably sane way to deal with that is
* new superblock flag; unless set, S_NOSEC is not going to be set.
* local block filesystems set it in their ->mount() (more accurately,
mount_bdev() does, so does btrfs ->mount(), users of mount_bdev() other than
local block ones clear it)
* if any network filesystem (or a cluster one) wants to use S_NOSEC,
it'll need to set MS_NOSEC in sb->s_flags *AND* take care to clear S_NOSEC when
inode attribute changes are picked from other clients.
It's not an earth-shattering hole (anybody that can set suid on another client
will almost certainly be able to write to the file before doing that anyway),
but it's a bug that needs fixing.

RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:
- Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
page lock to follow page->mapping.
The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.
In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.
The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.

Terje Malmedal reports that a fuse filesystem with 32 million inodes
on a machine with lots of memory can go unresponsive for up to 30
minutes when all those inodes are evicted from the icache.
The reason is that FORGET messages, sent when the inode is evicted,
are queued up together with regular filesystem requests, and while the
huge queue of FORGET messages are processed no other filesystem
operation can proceed.
Since a full fuse request structure is allocated for each inode, these
take up quite a bit of memory as well.
To solve these issues, create a slim 'fuse_forget_link' structure
containing just the minimum of information required to send the FORGET
request and chain these on a separate queue.
When userspace is asking for a request make sure that FORGET and
non-FORGET requests are selected fairly: for each 8 non-FORGET allow
16 FORGET requests. This will make sure FORGETs do not pile up, yet
other requests are also allowed to proceed while the queued FORGETs
are processed.
