  exportfs: don't assume that ->iterate() won't feed us too long entries
  afs: get rid of redundant ->d_name.len checks

When I moved the RCU walk termination into unlazy_walk(), I didn't copy
quite all of it: for the successful RCU termination we properly add the
necessary reference counts to our temporary copy of the root path, but
for the failure case we need to make sure that any temporary root path
information is cleared out (since it does _not_ have the proper
reference counts from the RCU lookup).

We could clean up this mess by just always dropping the temporary root
information, but Al points out that that would mean that a single lookup
through symlinks could see multiple different root entries if it races
with another thread doing chroot.  Not that I think we should really
care (we had that before too, back before we had a copy of the root path
in the nameidata).

Al says he has a cunning plan.  In the meantime, this is the minimal fix
for the problem, even if it's not all that pretty.

  so small and the bug that happens when it occurs is so minor it's not
  even worth pushing to stable.

  sharing a global cpumask"

  tracing/syscalls: Annotate raw_init function with __init

In __clk_init(), after a clock is mostly initialized, a scan is done
of the orphan clocks to see if the clock being registered is the
parent of any of them.

This code assumes that any clock that provides a get_parent method
actually has at least one parent, and that's not a valid assumption.

As a result, an orphan clock with no parent can return *something*
as the parent index, and that value is blindly used to dereference
the orphan's parent_names[] array (which will be ZERO_SIZE_PTR or
NULL).

Fix this by ensuring get_parent is only called for orphans with at
least one parent.

When running the AIM7's short workload, Linus' lockref patch eliminated
most of the spinlock contention. However, there were still some left:

     8.46%     reaim  [kernel.kallsyms]     [k] _raw_spin_lock
                 |--42.21%-- d_path
                 |          proc_pid_readlink
                 |          SyS_readlinkat
                 |          SyS_readlink
                 |          system_call
                 |          __GI___readlink
                 |
                 |--40.97%-- sys_getcwd
                 |          system_call
                 |          __getcwd

The big one here is the rename_lock (seqlock) contention in d_path()
and the getcwd system call. This patch will eliminate the need to take
the rename_lock while translating dentries into the full pathnames.

The need to take the rename_lock is to make sure that no rename
operation can be ongoing while the translation is in progress. However,
only one thread can take the rename_lock thus blocking all the other
threads that need it even though the translation process won't make
any change to the dentries.

This patch will replace the writer's write_seqlock/write_sequnlock
sequence of the rename_lock of the callers of the prepend_path() and
__dentry_path() functions with the reader's read_seqbegin/read_seqretry
sequence within these 2 functions. As a result, the code will have to
retry if one or more rename operations had been performed. In addition,
RCU read lock will be taken during the translation process to make sure
that no dentries will go away. To prevent live-lock from happening,
the code will switch back to take the rename_lock if read_seqretry()
fails for three times.

To further reduce spinlock contention, this patch does not take the
dentry's d_lock when copying the filename from the dentries. Instead,
it treats the name pointer and length as unreliable and just copy
the string byte-by-byte over until it hits a null byte or the end of
string as specified by the length. This should avoid stepping into
invalid memory address. The error cases are left to be handled by
the sequence number check.

The following code re-factoring are also made:
1. Move prepend('/') into prepend_name() to remove one conditional
   check.
2. Move the global root check in prepend_path() back to the top of
   the while loop.

With this patch, the _raw_spin_lock will now account for only 1.2%
of the total CPU cycles for the short workload. This patch also has
the effect of reducing the effect of running perf on its profile
since the perf command itself can be a heavy user of the d_path()
function depending on the complexity of the workload.

When taking the perf profile of the high-systime workload, the amount
of spinlock contention contributed by running perf without this patch
was about 16%. With this patch, the spinlock contention caused by
the running of perf will go away and we will have a more accurate
perf profile.

Pull NFS client updates from Trond Myklebust:
 "Highlights include:

   - Fix NFSv4 recovery so that it doesn't recover lost locks in cases
     such as lease loss due to a network partition, where doing so may
     result in data corruption.  Add a kernel parameter to control
     choice of legacy behaviour or not.
   - Performance improvements when 2 processes are writing to the same
     file.
   - Flush data to disk when an RPCSEC_GSS session timeout is imminent.
   - Implement NFSv4.1 SP4_MACH_CRED state protection to prevent other
     NFS clients from being able to manipulate our lease and file
     locking state.
   - Allow sharing of RPCSEC_GSS caches between different rpc clients.
   - Fix the broken NFSv4 security auto-negotiation between client and
     server.
   - Fix rmdir() to wait for outstanding sillyrename unlinks to complete
   - Add a tracepoint framework for debugging NFSv4 state recovery
     issues.
   - Add tracing to the generic NFS layer.
   - Add tracing for the SUNRPC socket connection state.
   - Clean up the rpc_pipefs mount/umount event management.
   - Merge more patches from Chuck in preparation for NFSv4 migration
     support"

When reconnecting to automounts at startup an autofs ioctl is used
to find the device and inode of existing mounts so they can be used
to open a file descriptor of possibly covered mounts.

At this time the the caller might not yet "own" the mount so it can
trigger calling ->d_automount(). This causes automount to hang when
trying to reconnect to direct or offset mount types.

Consequently kern_path() can't be used but kern_path_mountpoint() can be.

This is the fix that the last two commits indirectly led up to - making
sure that we don't call dput() in a bad context on the dentries we've
looked up in RCU mode after the sequence count validation fails.

This basically expands d_rcu_to_refcount() into the callers, and then
fixes the callers to delay the dput() in the failure case until _after_
we've dropped all locks and are no longer in an RCU-locked region.

The case of 'complete_walk()' was trivial, since its failure case did
the unlock_rcu_walk() directly after the call to d_rcu_to_refcount(),
and as such that is just a pure expansion of the function with a trivial
movement of the resulting dput() to after 'unlock_rcu_walk()'.

In contrast, the unlazy_walk() case was much more complicated, because
not only does convert two different dentries from RCU to be reference
counted, but it used to not call unlock_rcu_walk() at all, and instead
just returned an error and let the caller clean everything up in
"terminate_walk()".

Happily, one of the dentries in question (called "parent" inside
unlazy_walk()) is the dentry of "nd->path", which terminate_walk() wants
a refcount to anyway for the non-RCU case.

So what the new and improved unlazy_walk() does is to first turn that
dentry into a refcounted one, and once that is set up, the error cases
can continue to use the terminate_walk() helper for cleanup, but for the
non-RCU case.  Which makes it possible to drop out of RCU mode if we
actually hit the sequence number failure case.

This simplifies the RCU to refcounting code in particular.

I was originally intending to leave this for later, but walking through
all the dput() logic (see previous commit), I realized that the dput()
"might_sleep()" check was misleadingly weak.  And I removed it as
misleading, both for performance profiling and for debugging.

However, the might_sleep() debugging case is actually true: the final
dput() can indeed sleep, if the inode of the dentry that you are
releasing ends up sleeping at iput time (see dentry_iput()).  So the
problem with the might_sleep() in dput() wasn't that it wasn't true, it
was that it wasn't actually testing and triggering on the interesting
case.

In particular, just about *any* dput() can indeed sleep, if you happen
to race with another thread deleting the file in question, and you then
lose the race to the be the last dput() for that file.  But because it's
a very rare race, the debugging code would never trigger it in practice.

Why is this problematic? The new d_rcu_to_refcount() (see commit
15570086: "vfs: reimplement d_rcu_to_refcount() using
lockref_get_or_lock()") does a dput() for the failure case, and it does
it under the RCU lock.  So potentially sleeping really is a bug.

But there's no way I'm going to fix this with the previous complicated
"lockref_get_or_lock()" interface.  And rather than revert to the old
and crufty nested dentry locking code (which did get this right by
delaying the reference count updates until they were verified to be
safe), let's make forward progress.

This is me being a bit OCD after all the dentry optimization work this
merge window: profiles end up showing 'dput()' as a rather expensive
operation, and there were two unrelated bad reasons for that.

The first reason was reading d_lockref.count for debugging purposes,
which touches the lockref cacheline (for reads) before really need to.
More importantly, the debugging test in question is _wrong_, and has
hidden bugs.  It's true that we can only sleep when the count goes down
to zero, but the test as-is hides the much more subtle bug that happens
if we race with somebody else deleting the file.

Anyway we _will_ touch that cacheline, but let's do it for a write and
in the right routine (ie in "lockref_put_or_lock()") which annotates the
costs better.  So remove the misleading debug code.

The other was an unnecessary access to the cacheline that contains the
d_lru list, just to check whether we already were on the LRU list or
not.  This is exactly what we have d_flags for, so that we can avoid
touching extra cache lines for the common case.  So just add another bit
for "is this dentry on the LRU".

Finally, mark the tests properly likely/unlikely, so that the common
fast-paths are dense in the instruction stream.

This makes the profiles look much saner.
