Alas, ->d_revalidate() can't rely on ->lookup() finishing what
it's started; if d_alloc() in do_lookup() fails, we are not going
to call ->lookup() at all.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

We need to be able to cope with the directory mutex being held during
->d_revalidate() in some cases, but not all cases, and not necessarily by
us. Because we need to release the mutex when we call back to the daemon
to do perform a mount we must be sure that it is us who holds the mutex so
we must redirect mount requests to ->lookup() if the mutex is held.Signed-off-by: Ian Kent

- the type assigned at mount when no type is given is changed
from 0 to AUTOFS_TYPE_INDIRECT. This was done because 0 and
AUTOFS_TYPE_INDIRECT were being treated implicitly as the same
type.- previously, an offset mount had it's type set to
AUTOFS_TYPE_DIRECT|AUTOFS_TYPE_OFFSET but the mount control
re-implementation needs to be able distinguish all three types.
So this was changed to make the type setting explicit.- a type AUTOFS_TYPE_ANY was added for use by the re-implementation
when checking if a given path is a mountpoint. It's not really a
type as we use this to ask if a given path is a mountpoint in the
autofs_dev_ioctl_ismountpoint() function.- functions to set and test the autofs mount types have been added to
improve readability and make the type usage explicit.- the mount type is used from user space for the mount control
re-implementtion so, for consistency, all the definitions have
been moved to the user space include file include/linux/auto_fs4.h.Signed-off-by: Ian Kent

Add a miscellaneous device to the autofs4 module for routing ioctls. This
provides the ability to obtain an ioctl file handle for an autofs mount
point that is possibly covered by another mount.The actual problem with autofs is that it can't reconnect to existing
mounts. Immediately one things of just adding the ability to remount
autofs file systems would solve it, but alas, that can't work. This is
because autofs direct mounts and the implementation of "on demand mount
and expire" of nested mount trees have the file system mounted on top of
the mount trigger dentry.To resolve this a miscellaneous device node for routing ioctl commands to
these mount points has been implemented in the autofs4 kernel module and a
library added to autofs. This provides the ability to open a file
descriptor for these over mounted autofs mount points.Please refer to Documentation/filesystems/autofs4-mount-control.txt for a
discussion of the problem, implementation alternatives considered and a
description of the interface.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]

Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds -
For direct and offset type mounts that are covered by another mount we
cannot check the AUTOFS_INF_EXPIRING flag during a path walk which leads
to lookups walking into an expiring mount while it is being expired.For example, for the direct multi-mount map entry with a couple of
offsets:/race/mm1 / :/
/om1 :/
/om2 :/an autofs trigger mount is mounted on /race/mm1 and when accessed it is
over mounted and trigger mounts made for /race/mm1/om1 and /race/mm1/om2.
So it isn't possible for path walks to see the expiring flag at all and
they happily walk into the file system while it is expiring.When expiring these mounts follow_down() must stop at the autofs mount and
all processes must block in the ->follow_link() method (except the daemon)
until the expire is complete. This is done by decrementing the d_mounted
field of the autofs trigger mount root dentry until the expire is
completed. In ->follow_link() all processes wait on the expire and the
mount following is completed for the daemon until the expire is complete.Signed-off-by: Ian Kent

The selection of a dentry for expiration and the setting of the
AUTOFS_INF_EXPIRING flag isn't done atomically which can lead to lookups
walking into an expiring mount.What happens is that an expire is initiated by the daemon and a dentry is
selected for expire but, since there is no lock held between the selection
and setting of the expiring flag, a process may find the flag clear and
continue walking into the mount tree at the same time the daemon attempts
the expire it.Signed-off-by: Ian Kent

If an autofs mount becomes catatonic before autofs4_wait_release() is
called the wait queue counter will not be decremented down to zero and the
entry will never be freed. There are also races decrementing the wait
counter in the wait release function. To deal with this the counter needs
to be updated while holding the wait queue mutex and waiters need to be
woken up unconditionally when the wait is removed from the queue to ensure
we eventually free the wait.Signed-off-by: Ian Kent

A while ago a patch to resolve a deadlock during directory creation was
merged. This delayed the hashing of lookup dentrys until the ->mkdir()
(or ->symlink()) operation completed to ensure we always went through
->lookup() instead of also having processes go through ->revalidate() so
our VFS locking remained consistent.Now we are seeing a couple of side affects of that change in situations
with heavy mount activity.Two cases have been identified:
1) When a mount request is triggered, due to the delayed hashing, the
directory created by user space for the mount point doesn't have the
DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING flag set. In the case of an autofs multi-mount
where a tree of mount point directories are created this can lead to
the path walk continuing rather than the dentry being sent to the wait
queue to wait for request completion. This is because, if the pending
flag isn't set, the criteria for deciding this is a mount in progress
fails to hold, namely that the dentry is not a mount point and has no
subdirectories.2) A mount request dentry is initially created negative and unhashed.
It remains this way until the ->mkdir() callback completes. Since it
is unhashed a fresh dentry is used when the user space mount request
creates the mount point directory. This leaves the original dentry
negative and unhashed. But revalidate has no way to tell the VFS that
the dentry has changed, other than to force another ->lookup() by
returning false, which is at best wastefull and at worst not possible.
This results in an -ENOENT return from the original path walk when in
fact the mount succeeded.To resolve this we need to ensure that the same dentry is used in all
calls to ->lookup() during the course of a mount request. This patch
achieves that by adding the initial dentry to a look aside list and
removes it at ->mkdir() or ->symlink() completion (or when the dentry is
released), since these are the only create operations autofs4 supports.Signed-off-by: Ian Kent

Correct the error of making a positive dentry negative after it has been
instantiated.The code that makes this error attempts to re-use the dentry from a
concurrent expire and mount to resolve a race and the dentry used for the
lookup must be negative for mounts to trigger in the required cases. The
fact is that the dentry doesn't need to be re-used because all that is
needed is to preserve the flag that indicates an expire is still
incomplete at the time of the mount request.This change uses the the dentry to check the flag and wait for the expire
to complete then discards it instead of attempting to re-use it.Signed-off-by: Ian Kent

The set of functions process_session, task_session, process_group and
task_pgrp is confusing, as the names can be mixed with each other when looking
at the code for a long time.The proposals are to
* equip the functions that return the integer with _nr suffix to
represent that fact,
* and to make all functions work with task (not process) by making
the common prefix of the same name.For monotony the routines signal_session() and set_signal_session() are
replaced with task_session_nr() and set_task_session(), especially since they
are only used with the explicit task->signal dereference.Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelianov

Jeff Moyer has identified a race between mount and expire.
What happens is that during an expire the situation can arise that a directory
is removed and another lookup is done before the expire issues a completion
status to the kernel module. In this case, since the the lookup gets a new
dentry, it doesn't know that there is an expire in progress and when it posts
its mount request, matches the existing expire request and waits for its
completion. ENOENT is then returned to user space from lookup (as the dentry
passed in is now unhashed) without having performed the mount request.The solution used here is to keep track of dentrys in this unhashed state and
reuse them, if possible, in order to preserve the flags. Additionally, this
infrastructure will provide the framework for the reintroduction of caching of
mount fails removed earlier in development.Signed-off-by: Ian Kent

Make sure all dentries refs are released before calling kill_anon_super() so
that the assumption that generic_shutdown_super() can completely destroy the
dentry tree for there will be no external references holds true.What was being done in the put_super() superblock op, is now done in the
kill_sb() filesystem op instead, prior to calling kill_anon_super().This makes the struct autofs_sb_info::root member variable redundant (since
sb->s_root is still available), and so that is removed. The calls to
shrink_dcache_sb() are also removed since they're also redundant as
shrink_dcache_for_umount() will now be called after the cleanup routine.Signed-off-by: David Howells

This patch fixes two problems.
First, the comparison of entries in the waitq.c was incorrect.
Second, the NFY_NONE check was incorrect. The test of whether the dentry
is mounted if ineffective, for example, if an expire fails then we could
wait forever on a non existant expire. The bug was identified by Jeff
Moyer.The patch changes autofs4 to wait on expires only as this is all that's
needed. If there is no existing wait when autofs4_wait is call with a type
of NFY_NONE it delays until either a wait appears or the the expire flag is
cleared.Signed-off-by: Ian Kent

Fix the case where an expire returns busy on a tree mount when it is in fact
not busy. This case was overlooked when the patch to prevent the expiring
away of "scaffolding" directories for tree mounts was applied.The problem arises when a tree of mounts is a member of a map with other keys.
The current logic will not expire the tree if any other mount in the map is
busy. The solution is to maintain a "minimum" use count for each autofs
dentry and compare this to the actual dentry usage count during expire.Signed-off-by: Ian Kent

Addresse a problem where stale dentrys stop mounts from happening.
When a mount point directory is pre-created and a non-existent entry within it
is requested a dentry ends up being created within the mount point directory
which stops future mounts. The problem is solved by ignoring negative,
unhashed dentrys in the mount point d_subdirs list.Additionally the apparent cacheing of -ENOENT returns from requests is
removed. The test on d_time is a tautology and d_time is not initialised and
has an unexpected value. In short it doesn't do what it's meant to.The cacheing of failed requests to the daemon is important and will be
followed up later.Signed-off-by: Ian Kent

Some long time ago, dentry struct was carefully tuned so that on 32 bits
UP, sizeof(struct dentry) was exactly 128, ie a power of 2, and a multiple
of memory cache lines.Then RCU was added and dentry struct enlarged by two pointers, with nice
results for SMP, but not so good on UP, because breaking the above tuning
(128 + 8 = 136 bytes)This patch reverts this unwanted side effect, by using an union (d_u),
where d_rcu and d_child are placed so that these two fields can share their
memory needs.At the time d_free() is called (and d_rcu is really used), d_child is known
to be empty and not touched by the dentry freeing.Lockless lookups only access d_name, d_parent, d_lock, d_op, d_flags (so
the previous content of d_child is not needed if said dentry was unhashed
but still accessed by a CPU because of RCU constraints)As dentry cache easily contains millions of entries, a size reduction is
worth the extra complexity of the ugly C union.Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet
