The following BUG can occur when an inode which is getting freed when
it still has dirty pages outstanding, and it gets deleted (in this
because it was the target of a rename). In ordered mode, we need to
make sure the data pages are written just in case we crash before the
rename (or unlink) is committed. If the inode is being freed then
when we try to igrab the inode, we end up tripping the BUG_ON at
fs/ext4/page-io.c:146.
To solve this problem, we need to keep track of the number of io
callbacks which are pending, and avoid destroying the inode until they
have all been completed. That way we don't have to bump the inode
count to keep the inode from being destroyed; an approach which
doesn't work because the count could have already been dropped down to
zero before the inode writeback has started (at which point we're not
allowed to bump the count back up to 1, since it's already started
getting freed).
Thanks to Dave Chinner for suggesting this approach, which is also
used by XFS.

The client can have a newer ctime than the MDS due to AUTH_EXCL and
XATTR_EXCL caps as well; update the check in ceph_fill_file_time
appropriately.
This fixes cases where ctime/mtime goes backward under the right sequence
of local updates (e.g. chmod) and mds replies (e.g. subsequent stat that
goes to the MDS).

We may get updates on the same inode from multiple MDSs; generally we only
pay attention if the update is newer than what we already have. The
exception is when an MDS sense unstable information, in which case we
always update.
The old > check got this wrong when our version was odd (e.g. 3) and the
reply version was even (e.g. 2): the older stale (v2) info would be
applied. Fixed and clarified the comment.

MDS requests can be rebuilt and resent in non-process context, but were
filling in uid/gid from current_fsuid/gid. Put that information in the
request struct on request setup.
This fixes incorrect (and root) uid/gid getting set for requests that
are forwarded between MDSs, usually due to metadata migrations.

We used to use rdcache_gen to indicate whether we "might" have cached
pages. Now we just look at the mapping to determine that. However, some
old behavior remains from that transition.
First, rdcache_gen == 0 no longer means we have no pages. That can happen
at any time (presumably when we carry FILE_CACHE). We should not reset it
to zero, and we should not check that it is zero.
That means that the only purpose for rdcache_revoking is to resolve races
between new issues of FILE_CACHE and an async invalidate. If they are
equal, we should invalidate. On success, we decrement rdcache_revoking,
so that it is no longer equal to rdcache_gen. Similarly, if we success
in doing a sync invalidate, set revoking = gen - 1. (This is a small
optimization to avoid doing unnecessary invalidate work and does not
affect correctness.)

If the auth cap migrates to another MDS, clear requested_max_size so that
we resend any pending max_size increase requests. This fixes potential
hangs on writes that extend a file and race with an cap migration between
MDSs.
Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>

Only the auth MDS has a meaningful max_size value for us, so only update it
in fill_inode if we're being issued an auth cap. Otherwise, a random
stat result from a non-auth MDS can clobber a meaningful max_size, get
the client<->mds cap state out of sync, and make writes hang.
Specifically, even if the client re-requests a larger max_size (which it
will), the MDS won't respond because as far as it knows we already have a
sufficiently large value.

Normally when we open a file we already have a cap, and simply update the
wanted set. However, if we open a file for write, but don't have an auth
cap, that doesn't work; we need to open a new cap with the auth MDS. Only
reuse existing caps if we are opening for read or the existing cap is auth.

This patch is based on Dan's original patch. His original description is
below:
Smatch complained about a couple checking for NULL after dereferencing
bugs. I'm not super familiar with the code so I did the conservative
thing and move the dereferences after the checks.
The dereferences in cifs_lock() and cifs_fsync() were added in
ba00ba64cf0 "cifs: make various routines use the cifsFileInfo->tcon
pointer". The dereference in find_writable_file() was added in
6508d904e6f "cifs: have find_readable/writable_file filter by fsuid".
The comments there say it's possible to trigger the NULL dereference
under stress.

Radix trees are ideal when you want to track a bunch of pointers and
can't embed a tracking structure within the target of those pointers.
The tradeoff is an increase in memory, particularly if the tree is
sparse.
In CIFS, we use the tlink_tree to track tcon_link structs. A tcon_link
can never be in more than one tlink_tree, so there's no impediment to
using a rb_tree here instead of a radix tree.
Convert the new multiuser mount code to use a rb_tree instead. This
should reduce the memory required to manage the tlink_tree.

This is the second version of this patch, the only difference between
it and the first one is that this explicitly makes cifs_sb_master_tlink
a static inline.
Instead of keeping a tag on the master tlink in the tree, just keep a
pointer to the master in the superblock. That eliminates the need for
using the radix tree to look up a tagged entry.

Stanse found that pSMBFile in cifs_ioctl and file->f_path.dentry in
cifs_user_write are dereferenced prior their test to NULL.
The alternative is not to dereference them before the tests. The patch is
to point out the problem, you have to decide.
While at it we cache the inode in cifs_user_write to a local variable
and use all over the function.

The only issue so far is that we could change the flp pointer even on an

The NFSv4 server was initializing the dp->dl_flock pointer by the
somewhat ridiculous method of a locks_copy_lock callback.
Now that setlease uses the passed-in lock instead of doing a copy,
dl_flock no longer gets set, resulting in the lock leaking on delegation
release, and later possible hangs (among other problems).
So, initialize dl_flock and get rid of the callback.

START_SYNC will start a sync/commit, but not wait for it to
complete. Any modification started after the ioctl returns is
guaranteed not to be included in the commit. If a non-NULL
pointer is passed, the transaction id will be returned to
userspace.
WAIT_SYNC will wait for any in-progress commit to complete. If a
transaction id is specified, the ioctl will block and then
return (success) when the specified transaction has committed.
If it has already committed when we call the ioctl, it returns
immediately. If the specified transaction doesn't exist, it
returns EINVAL.
If no transaction id is specified, WAIT_SYNC will wait for the
currently committing transaction to finish it's commit to disk.
If there is no currently committing transaction, it returns
success.
These ioctls are useful for applications which want to impose an
ordering on when fs modifications reach disk, but do not want to
wait for the full (slow) commit process to do so.
Picky callers can take the transid returned by START_SYNC and
feed it to WAIT_SYNC, and be certain to wait only as long as
necessary for the transaction _they_ started to reach disk.
Sloppy callers can START_SYNC and WAIT_SYNC without a transid,
and provided they didn't wait too long between the calls, they
will get the same result. However, if a second commit starts
before they call WAIT_SYNC, they may end up waiting longer for
it to commit as well. Even so, a START_SYNC+WAIT_SYNC still
guarantees that any operation completed before the START_SYNC
reaches disk.
