<id>urn:sha1:25885a35a72007cf28ec5f9ba7169c5c798f7167</id>
<content type='text'>
filldir_t instances (directory iterators callbacks) used to return 0 for
"OK, keep going" or -E... for "stop".  Note that it's *NOT* how the
error values are reported - the rules for those are callback-dependent
and -&gt;iterate{,_shared}() instances only care about zero vs. non-zero
(look at emit_dir() and friends).

So let's just return bool ("should we keep going?") - it's less confusing
that way.  The choice between "true means keep going" and "true means
stop" is bikesheddable; we have two groups of callbacks -
	do something for everything in directory, until we run into problem
and
	find an entry in directory and do something to it.

The former tended to use 0/-E... conventions - -E&lt;something&gt; on failure.
The latter tended to use 0/1, 1 being "stop, we are done".
The callers treated anything non-zero as "stop", ignoring which
non-zero value did they get.

"true means stop" would be more natural for the second group; "true
means keep going" - for the first one.  I tried both variants and
the things like
	if allocation failed
		something = -ENOMEM;
		return true;
just looked unnatural and asking for trouble.

<title>exportfs: support idmapped mounts</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3a761d72fa62eec8913e45d29375344f61706541</id>
<content type='text'>
Make the two locations where exportfs helpers check permission to lookup
a given inode idmapped mount aware by switching it to the lookup_one()
helper. This is a bugfix for the open_by_handle_at() system call which
doesn't take idmapped mounts into account currently. It's not tied to a
specific commit so we'll just Cc stable.

In addition this is required to support idmapped base layers in overlay.
The overlay filesystem uses exportfs to encode and decode file handles
for its index=on mount option and when nfs_export=on.

<content type='text'>
There are 3 remaining files without an extension inside the fs docs
dir.

Manually convert them to ReST.

In the case of the nfs/exporting.rst file, as the nfs docs
aren't ported yet, I opted to convert and add a :orphan: there,
with should be removed when it gets added into a nfs-specific
part of the fs documentation.

<title>exportfs: do not read dentry after free</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2084ac6c505a58f7efdec13eba633c6aaa085ca5</id>
<content type='text'>
The function dentry_connected calls dput(dentry) to drop the previously
acquired reference to dentry. In this case, dentry can be released.
After that, IS_ROOT(dentry) checks the condition
(dentry == dentry-&gt;d_parent), which may result in a use-after-free bug.
This patch directly compares dentry with its parent obtained before
dropping the reference.

rename/remove")

<title>ovl: do not try to reconnect a disconnected origin dentry</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8a22efa15b46d524577cac79da63cebca8e8307f</id>
<content type='text'>
On lookup of non directory, we try to decode the origin file handle
stored in upper inode. The origin file handle is supposed to be decoded
to a disconnected non-dir dentry, which is fine, because we only need
the lower inode of a copy up origin.

However, if the origin file handle somehow turns out to be a directory
we pay the expensive cost of reconnecting the directory dentry, only to
get a mismatch file type and drop the dentry.

Optimize this case by explicitly opting out of reconnecting the dentry.
Opting-out of reconnect is done by passing a NULL acceptable callback
to exportfs_decode_fh().

While the case described above is a strange corner case that does not
really need to be optimized, the API added for this optimization will
be used by a following patch to optimize a more common case of decoding
an overlayfs file handle.
