4ac9137858 Embed a struct path into struct nameidata instead of nd->{dentry,mnt}
This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good
reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects
that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.

Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
  <dentry,vfsmount> pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
  struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:

without patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5321639  858418  715768 6895825  6938d1 vmlinux

with patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5320026  858418  715768 6894212  693284 vmlinux

This patch:

Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.

92e1d5be91 [PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 2
Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

65f27f3844 WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data
Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.

For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.

To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct.  This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.

Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function.  This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated..  This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).

However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems.  But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().

In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default.  Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

52bad64d95 WorkStruct: Separate delayable and non-delayable events.
Separate delayable work items from non-delayable work items be splitting them
into a separate structure (delayed_work), which incorporates a work_struct and
the timer_list removed from work_struct.

The work_struct struct is huge, and this limits it's usefulness.  On a 64-bit
architecture it's nearly 100 bytes in size.  This reduces that by half for the
non-delayable type of event.

54ceac4515 NFS: Share NFS superblocks per-protocol per-server per-FSID
The attached patch makes NFS share superblocks between mounts from the same
server and FSID over the same protocol.

It does this by creating each superblock with a false root and returning the
real root dentry in the vfsmount presented by get_sb(). The root dentry set
starts off as an anonymous dentry if we don't already have the dentry for its
inode, otherwise it simply returns the dentry we already have.

We may thus end up with several trees of dentries in the superblock, and if at
some later point one of anonymous tree roots is discovered by normal filesystem
activity to be located in another tree within the superblock, the anonymous
root is named and materialises attached to the second tree at the appropriate
point.

Why do it this way? Why not pass an extra argument to the mount() syscall to
indicate the subpath and then pathwalk from the server root to the desired
directory? You can't guarantee this will work for two reasons:

 (1) The root and intervening nodes may not be accessible to the client.

     With NFS2 and NFS3, for instance, mountd is called on the server to get
     the filehandle for the tip of a path. mountd won't give us handles for
     anything we don't have permission to access, and so we can't set up NFS
     inodes for such nodes, and so can't easily set up dentries (we'd have to
     have ghost inodes or something).

     With this patch we don't actually create dentries until we get handles
     from the server that we can use to set up their inodes, and we don't
     actually bind them into the tree until we know for sure where they go.

 (2) Inaccessible symbolic links.

     If we're asked to mount two exports from the server, eg:

	mount warthog:/warthog/aaa/xxx /mmm
	mount warthog:/warthog/bbb/yyy /nnn

     We may not be able to access anything nearer the root than xxx and yyy,
     but we may find out later that /mmm/www/yyy, say, is actually the same
     directory as the one mounted on /nnn. What we might then find out, for
     example, is that /warthog/bbb was actually a symbolic link to
     /warthog/aaa/xxx/www, but we can't actually determine that by talking to
     the server until /warthog is made available by NFS.

     This would lead to having constructed an errneous dentry tree which we
     can't easily fix. We can end up with a dentry marked as a directory when
     it should actually be a symlink, or we could end up with an apparently
     hardlinked directory.

     With this patch we need not make assumptions about the type of a dentry
     for which we can't retrieve information, nor need we assume we know its
     place in the grand scheme of things until we actually see that place.

This patch reduces the possibility of aliasing in the inode and page caches for
inodes that may be accessed by more than one NFS export. It also reduces the
number of superblocks required for NFS where there are many NFS exports being
used from a server (home directory server + autofs for example).

This in turn makes it simpler to do local caching of network filesystems, as it
can then be guaranteed that there won't be links from multiple inodes in
separate superblocks to the same cache file.

Obviously, cache aliasing between different levels of NFS protocol could still
be a problem, but at least that gives us another key to use when indexing the
cache.

This patch makes the following changes:

 (1) The server record construction/destruction has been abstracted out into
     its own set of functions to make things easier to get right.  These have
     been moved into fs/nfs/client.c.

     All the code in fs/nfs/client.c has to do with the management of
     connections to servers, and doesn't touch superblocks in any way; the
     remaining code in fs/nfs/super.c has to do with VFS superblock management.

 (2) The sequence of events undertaken by NFS mount is now reordered:

     (a) A volume representation (struct nfs_server) is allocated.

     (b) A server representation (struct nfs_client) is acquired.  This may be
     	 allocated or shared, and is keyed on server address, port and NFS
     	 version.

     (c) If allocated, the client representation is initialised.  The state
     	 member variable of nfs_client is used to prevent a race during
     	 initialisation from two mounts.

     (d) For NFS4 a simple pathwalk is performed, walking from FH to FH to find
     	 the root filehandle for the mount (fs/nfs/getroot.c).  For NFS2/3 we
     	 are given the root FH in advance.

     (e) The volume FSID is probed for on the root FH.

     (f) The volume representation is initialised from the FSINFO record
     	 retrieved on the root FH.

     (g) sget() is called to acquire a superblock.  This may be allocated or
     	 shared, keyed on client pointer and FSID.

     (h) If allocated, the superblock is initialised.

     (i) If the superblock is shared, then the new nfs_server record is
     	 discarded.

     (j) The root dentry for this mount is looked up from the root FH.

     (k) The root dentry for this mount is assigned to the vfsmount.

 (3) nfs_readdir_lookup() creates dentries for each of the entries readdir()
     returns; this function now attaches disconnected trees from alternate
     roots that happen to be discovered attached to a directory being read (in
     the same way nfs_lookup() is made to do for lookup ops).

     The new d_materialise_unique() function is now used to do this, thus
     permitting the whole thing to be done under one set of locks, and thus
     avoiding any race between mount and lookup operations on the same
     directory.

 (4) The client management code uses a new debug facility: NFSDBG_CLIENT which
     is set by echoing 1024 to /proc/net/sunrpc/nfs_debug.

 (5) Clone mounts are now called xdev mounts.

 (6) Use the dentry passed to the statfs() op as the handle for retrieving fs
     statistics rather than the root dentry of the superblock (which is now a
     dummy).

f7b422b17e NFS: Split fs/nfs/inode.c
As fs/nfs/inode.c is rather large, heterogenous and unwieldy, the attached
patch splits it up into a number of files:

 (*) fs/nfs/inode.c

     Strictly inode specific functions.

 (*) fs/nfs/super.c

     Superblock management functions for NFS and NFS4, normal access, clones
     and referrals.  The NFS4 superblock functions _could_ move out into a
     separate conditionally compiled file, but it's probably not worth it as
     there're so many common bits.

 (*) fs/nfs/namespace.c

     Some namespace-specific functions have been moved here.

 (*) fs/nfs/nfs4namespace.c

     NFS4-specific namespace functions (this could be merged into the previous
     file).  This file is conditionally compiled.

 (*) fs/nfs/internal.h

     Inter-file declarations, plus a few simple utility functions moved from
     fs/nfs/inode.c.

     Additionally, all the in-.c-file externs have been moved here, and those
     files they were moved from now includes this file.

For the most part, the functions have not been changed, only some multiplexor
functions have changed significantly.

I've also:

 (*) Added some extra banner comments above some functions.

 (*) Rearranged the function order within the files to be more logical and
     better grouped (IMO), though someone may prefer a different order.

 (*) Reduced the number of #ifdefs in .c files.

 (*) Added missing __init and __exit directives.
