    NFSD: introduce struct nfsd_attrs · 7fe2a71d
    NeilBrown authored
    The attributes that nfsd might want to set on a file include 'struct
    iattr' as well as an ACL and security label.
    The latter two are passed around quite separately from the first, in
    part because they are only needed for NFSv4.  This leads to some
    clumsiness in the code, such as the attributes NOT being set in
    nfsd_create_setattr().
    
    We need to keep the directory locked until all attributes are set to
    ensure the file is never visibile without all its attributes.  This need
    combined with the inconsistent handling of attributes leads to more
    clumsiness.
    
    As a first step towards tidying this up, introduce 'struct nfsd_attrs'.
    This is passed (by reference) to vfs.c functions that work with
    attributes, and is assembled by the various nfs*proc functions which
    call them.  As yet only iattr is included, but future patches will
    expand this.
