There used to be time when ->d_revalidate() couldn't return an error.
So intents code had lookup_instantiate_filp() stash ERR_PTR(error)
in nd->intent.open.filp and had it checked after lookup_hash(), to
catch the otherwise silent failures. That had been introduced by
commit 4af4c52f34. These days
->d_revalidate() can and does propagate errors back to callers
explicitly, so this check isn't needed anymore.

We have a bunch of diverging codepaths in do_last(); some of
them converge, but the case of having to create a new file
duplicates large part of common tail of the rest and exits
separately. Massage them so that they could be merged.

Lift it to lookup_one_len() and link_path_walk() resp. into the
same place where we calculated default hash function of the same
name.

Instead of path_lookupat() doing trailing symlink resolution,
use the same scheme as on the O_CREAT side. Walk with
LOOKUP_PARENT, then (in do_last()) look the final component
up, then either open it or return error or, if it's a symlink,
give the symlink back to path_openat() to be resolved there.
The really messy complication here is RCU. We don't want to drop
out of RCU mode before the final lookup, since we don't want to
bounce parent directory ->d_count without a good reason.
Result is _not_ pretty; later in the series we'll clean it up.
For now we are roughly back where we'd been before the revert
done by Nick's series - top-level logics of path_openat() is
cleaned up, do_last() does actual opening, symlink resolution is
done uniformly.

New helper: terminate_walk(). An error has happened during pathname
resolution and we either drop nd->path or terminate RCU, depending
the mode we had been in. After that, nd is essentially empty.
Switch link_path_walk() to using that for cleanup.
Now the top-level logics in link_path_walk() is back to sanity. RCU
dependencies are in the lower-level functions.

Now we have do_follow_link() guaranteed to leave without dangling RCU
and the next step will get LOOKUP_RCU logics completely out of
link_path_walk().

new helper: path_openat(). Does what do_filp_open() does, except
that it tries only the walk mode (RCU/normal/force revalidation)
it had been told to.
Both create and non-create branches are using path_lookupat() now.
Fixed the double audit_inode() in non-create branch.

take calculation of open_flags by open(2) arguments into new helper
in fs/open.c, move filp_open() over there, have it and do_sys_open()
use that helper, switch exec.c callers of do_filp_open() to explicit
(and constant) struct open_flags.

No point messing with passing shitloads of "operation mode" arguments
to do_open() one by one, especially since they are not going to change
during do_filp_open(). Collect them into a struct, fill it and pass
to do_last() by reference.
Make sure that lookup intent flags are correctly set and removed - we
want them for do_last(), but they make no sense for __do_follow_link().

instead of ad-hackery around need_reval_dot(), do the following:
set a flag (LOOKUP_JUMPED) in the beginning of path, on absolute
symlink traversal, on ".." and on procfs-style symlinks. Clear on
normal components, leave unchanged on ".". Non-nested callers of
link_path_walk() call handle_reval_path(), which checks that flag
is set and that fs does want the final revalidate thing, then does
->d_revalidate(). In link_path_walk() all the return_reval stuff
is gone.

Actual dependency on whether we want RCU or not is in 3 small areas
(as it ought to be) and everything around those is the same in both
versions. Since each function has only one caller and those callers
are on two sides of if (flags & LOOKUP_RCU), it's easier and cleaner
to merge them and pull the checks inside.

New helper: path_lookupat(). Basically, what do_path_lookup() boils to
modulo -ECHILD/-ESTALE handler. path_walk* family is gone; vfs_path_lookup()
is using link_path_walk() directly, do_path_lookup() and do_filp_open()
are using path_lookupat().

Fix for a dumb preadv()/pwritev() compat bug - unlike the native
variants, compat_... ones forget to check FMODE_P{READ,WRITE}, so e.g.
on pipe the native preadv() will fail with -ESPIPE and compat one will
act as readv() and succeed. Not critical, but it's a clear bug with trivial
fix.

This reverts commit 951f3512db
drm/i915: Do not handle backlight combination mode specially
since this commit introduced other regressions due to untouched LBPC
register, e.g. the backlight dimmed after resume.
In addition to the revert, this patch includes a fix for the original
issue (weird backlight levels) by removing the wrong bit shift for
computing the current backlight level.
Also, including typo fixes (lpbc -> lbpc).

Without this patch, inodes are not promptly freed on last close of an
unlinked file by an nfs client:
client$ mount -tnfs4 server:/export/ /mnt/
client$ tail -f /mnt/FOO
...
server$ df -i /export
server$ rm /export/FOO
(^C the tail -f)
server$ df -i /export
server$ echo 2 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
server$ df -i /export
the df's will show that the inode is not freed on the filesystem until
the last step, when it could have been freed after killing the client's
tail -f. On-disk data won't be deallocated either, leading to possible
spurious ENOSPC.
This occurs because when the client does the close, it arrives in a
compound with a putfh and a close, processed like:
- putfh: look up the filehandle. The only alias found for the
inode will be DCACHE_UNHASHED alias referenced by the filp
this, so it creates a new DCACHE_DISCONECTED dentry and
returns that instead.
- close: closes the existing filp, which is destroyed
immediately by dput() since it's DCACHE_UNHASHED.
- end of the compound: release the reference
to the current filehandle, and dput() the new
DCACHE_DISCONECTED dentry, which gets put on the
unused list instead of being destroyed immediately.
Nick Piggin suggested fixing this by allowing d_obtain_alias to return
the unhashed dentry that is referenced by the filp, instead of making it
create a new dentry.
Leave __d_find_alias() alone to avoid changing behavior of other
callers.
Also nfsd doesn't need all the checks of __d_find_alias(); any dentry,
hashed or unhashed, disconnected or not, should work.

In the fallocate path the kernel doesn't check for the immutable/append
flag. It's possible to have a race condition in this scenario: an
application open a file in read/write and it does something, meanwhile
root set the immutable flag on the file, the application at that point
can call fallocate with success. In addition, we don't allow to do any
unreserve operation on an append only file but only the reserve one.
