      VFS: Fix the nfs sillyrename regression in kernel 2.6.38 · c83ce989
      Trond Myklebust authored 
      The new vfs locking scheme introduced in 2.6.38 breaks NFS sillyrename
because the latter relies on being able to determine the parent
directory of the dentry in the ->iput() callback in order to send the
appropriate unlink rpc call.

Looking at the code that cares about races with dput(), there doesn't
seem to be anything that specifically uses d_parent as a test for
whether or not there is a race:
  - __d_lookup_rcu(), __d_lookup() all test for d_hashed() after d_parent
  - shrink_dcache_for_umount() is safe since nothing else can rearrange
    the dentries in that super block.
  - have_submount(), select_parent() and d_genocide() can test for a
    deletion if we set the DCACHE_DISCONNECTED flag when the dentry
    is removed from the parent's d_subdirs list.

      dcache.c: create helper function for duplicated functionality · c826cb7d
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This creates a helper function for he "try to ascend into the parent
directory" case, which was written out in triplicate before.  With all
the locking and subtle sequence number stuff, we really don't want to
duplicate that kind of code.

      Turn resolution of trailing symlinks iterative everywhere · b356379a
      Al Viro authored 
      The last remaining place (resolution of nested symlink) converted
to the loop of the same kind we have in path_lookupat() and
path_openat().

Note that we still *do* have a recursion in pathname resolution;
can't avoid it, really.  However, it's strictly for nested symlinks
now - i.e. ones in the middle of a pathname.

link_path_walk() has lost the tail now - it always walks everything
except the last component.

do_follow_link() renamed to nested_symlink() and moved down.

      simplify link_path_walk() tail · ce052544
      Al Viro authored 
      Now that link_path_walk() is called without LOOKUP_PARENT
only from do_follow_link(), we can simplify the checks in
last component handling.  First of all, checking if we'd
arrived to a directory is not needed - the caller will check
it anyway.  And LOOKUP_FOLLOW is guaranteed to be there,
since we only get to that place with nd->depth > 0.

      pull handling of one pathname component into a helper · ce57dfc1
      Al Viro authored 
      new helper: walk_component().  Handles everything except symlinks;
returns negative on error, 0 on success and 1 on symlinks we decided
to follow.  Drops out of RCU mode on such symlinks.

link_path_walk() and do_last() switched to using that.

      perf probe: Clean up probe_point_lazy_walker() return value · 5e814dd5
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      Newer compilers (gcc 4.6) complains about:

        return ret < 0 ?: 0;

For the following reason:

  util/probe-finder.c: In function ‘probe_point_lazy_walker’:
  util/probe-finder.c:1331:18: error: the omitted middle operand in ?: will always be ‘true’, suggest explicit middle operand [-Werror=parentheses]

And indeed the return value is a somewhat obscure (but correct) value
of 'true', so return 'ret' instead - this is cleaner and unconfuses
GCC as well.
