Al Viro d6d95ded91 lookup_one_len_unlocked(): use lookup_dcache()
No need to lock parent just because of ->d_revalidate() on child;
contrary to the stale comment, lookup_dcache() *can* be used without
locking the parent.  Result can be moved as soon as we return, of
course, but the same is true for lookup_one_len_unlocked() itself.

Linus Torvalds 33caf82acf Merge branch 'work.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "All kinds of stuff.  That probably should've been 5 or 6 separate
  branches, but by the time I'd realized how large and mixed that bag
  had become it had been too close to -final to play with rebasing.

  Some fs/namei.c cleanups there, memdup_user_nul() introduction and
  switching open-coded instances, burying long-dead code, whack-a-mole
  of various kinds, several new helpers for ->llseek(), assorted
  cleanups and fixes from various people, etc.

  One piece probably deserves special mention - Neil's
  lookup_one_len_unlocked().  Similar to lookup_one_len(), but gets
  called without ->i_mutex and tries to avoid ever taking it.  That, of
  course, means that it's not useful for any directory modifications,
  but things like getting inode attributes in nfds readdirplus are fine
  with that.  I really should've asked for moratorium on lookup-related
  changes this cycle, but since I hadn't done that early enough...  I
  *am* asking for that for the coming cycle, though - I'm going to try
  and get conversion of i_mutex to rwsem with ->lookup() done under lock
  taken shared.

  There will be a patch closer to the end of the window, along the lines
  of the one Linus had posted last May - mechanical conversion of
  ->i_mutex accesses to inode_lock()/inode_unlock()/inode_trylock()/
  inode_is_locked()/inode_lock_nested().  To quote Linus back then:

    -----
    |    This is an automated patch using
    |

    |
    |    with a very few manual fixups

  I'm going to send that once the ->i_mutex-affecting stuff in -next
  gets mostly merged (or when Linus says he's about to stop taking
  merges)"

NeilBrown bbddca8e8f nfsd: don't hold i_mutex over userspace upcalls
We need information about exports when crossing mountpoints during
lookup or NFSv4 readdir.  If we don't already have that information
cached, we may have to ask (and wait for) rpc.mountd.

In both cases we currently hold the i_mutex on the parent of the
directory we're asking rpc.mountd about.  We've seen situations where
rpc.mountd performs some operation on that directory that tries to take
the i_mutex again, resulting in deadlock.

With some care, we may be able to avoid that in rpc.mountd.  But it
seems better just to avoid holding a mutex while waiting on userspace.

It appears that lookup_one_len is pretty much the only operation that
needs the i_mutex.  So we could just drop the i_mutex elsewhere and do
something like

	mutex_lock()
	lookup_one_len()
	mutex_unlock()

In many cases though the lookup would have been cached and not required
the i_mutex, so it's more efficient to create a lookup_one_len() variant
that only takes the i_mutex when necessary.

Al Viro 6b2553918d replace ->follow_link() with new method that could stay in RCU mode
new method: ->get_link(); replacement of ->follow_link().  The differences
are:
	* inode and dentry are passed separately
	* might be called both in RCU and non-RCU mode;
the former is indicated by passing it a NULL dentry.
	* when called that way it isn't allowed to block
and should return ERR_PTR(-ECHILD) if it needs to be called
in non-RCU mode.

It's a flagday change - the old method is gone, all in-tree instances
converted.  Conversion isn't hard; said that, so far very few instances
do not immediately bail out when called in RCU mode.  That'll change
in the next commits.

Dirk Steinmetz f2ca379642 namei: permit linking with CAP_FOWNER in userns
Attempting to hardlink to an unsafe file (e.g. a setuid binary) from
within an unprivileged user namespace fails, even if CAP_FOWNER is held
within the namespace. This may cause various failures, such as a gentoo
installation within a lxc container failing to build and install specific
packages.

This change permits hardlinking of files owned by mapped uids, if
CAP_FOWNER is held for that namespace. Furthermore, it improves consistency
by using the existing inode_owner_or_capable(), which is aware of
namespaced capabilities as of 23adbe12ef ("fs,userns: Change
inode_capable to capable_wrt_inode_uidgid").

This is hitting us in Ubuntu during some dpkg upgrades in containers.
When upgrading a file dpkg creates a hard link to the old file to back
it up before overwriting it. When packages upgrade suid files owned by a
non-root user the link isn't permitted, and the package upgrade fails.
This patch fixes our problem.

Leandro Awa writes:
 "After switching to version 4.1.6, our parallelized and distributed
  workflows now fail consistently with errors of the form:

  T34: ./regex.c:39:22: error: config.h: No such file or directory

  From our 'git bisect' testing, the following commit appears to be the
  possible cause of the behavior we've been seeing: commit 766c4cbfacd8"

Al Viro says:
 "What happens is that 766c4cbfac got the things subtly wrong.

  We used to treat d_is_negative() after lookup_fast() as "fall with
  ENOENT".  That was wrong - checking ->d_flags outside of ->d_seq
  protection is unreliable and failing with hard error on what should've
  fallen back to non-RCU pathname resolution is a bug.

  Unfortunately, we'd pulled the test too far up and ran afoul of
  another kind of staleness.  The dentry might have been absolutely
  stable from the RCU point of view (and we might be on UP, etc), but
  stale from the remote fs point of view.  If ->d_revalidate() returns
  "it's actually stale", dentry gets thrown away and the original code
  wouldn't even have looked at its ->d_flags.

  What we need is to check ->d_flags where 766c4cbfac does (prior to
  ->d_seq validation) but only use the result in cases where we do not
  discard this dentry outright"

Eric W. Biederman 397d425dc2 vfs: Test for and handle paths that are unreachable from their mnt_root
In rare cases a directory can be renamed out from under a bind mount.
In those cases without special handling it becomes possible to walk up
the directory tree to the root dentry of the filesystem and down
from the root dentry to every other file or directory on the filesystem.

Like division by zero .. from an unconnected path can not be given
a useful semantic as there is no predicting at which path component
the code will realize it is unconnected.  We certainly can not match
the current behavior as the current behavior is a security hole.

Therefore when encounting .. when following an unconnected path
return -ENOENT.

- Add a function path_connected to verify path->dentry is reachable
  from path->mnt.mnt_root.  AKA to validate that rename did not do
  something nasty to the bind mount.

  To avoid races path_connected must be called after following a path
  component to it's next path component.

Al Viro 97242f99a0 link_path_walk(): be careful when failing with ENOTDIR
In RCU mode we might end up with dentry evicted just we check
that it's a directory.  In such case we should return ECHILD
rather than ENOTDIR, so that pathwalk would be retries in non-RCU
mode.

Breakage had been introduced in commit b18825a - prior to that
we were looking at nd->inode, which had been fetched before
verifying that ->d_seq was still valid.  That form of check
would only be satisfied if at some point the pathname prefix
would indeed have resolved to a non-directory.  The fix consists
of checking ->d_seq after we'd run into a non-directory dentry,
and failing with ECHILD in case of mismatch.

Note that all branches since 3.12 have that problem...

Al Viro 06d7137e5c namei: make set_root_rcu() return void
The only caller that cares about its return value can just
as easily pick it from nd->root_seq itself.  We used to just
calculate it and return to caller, but these days we are
storing it in nd->root_seq in all cases.

Al Viro 9883d1855e namei: move saved_nd pointer into struct nameidata
these guys are always declared next to each other; might as well put
the former (pointer to previous instance) into the latter and simplify
the calling conventions for {set,restore}_nameidata()

they are always called next to each other; moreover,
terminate_walk() is more symmetrical that way.
