gfs2: Silence "suspicious RCU usage in gfs2_permission" warning

[ Upstream commit 074d7306a4fe22fcac0b53f699f92757ab1cee99 ]

Commit 0abd1557e21c added rcu_dereference() for dereferencing ip->i_gl
in gfs2_permission. This now causes lockdep to complain when
gfs2_permission is called in non-RCU context:

WARNING: suspicious RCU usage in gfs2_permission

Switch to rcu_dereference_check() and check for the MAY_NOT_BLOCK flag
to shut up lockdep when we know that dereferencing ip->i_gl is safe.

In RCU mode, we might race with gfs2_evict_inode(), which zeroes
->i_gl. Freeing of the object it points to is RCU-delayed, so
if we manage to fetch the pointer before it's been replaced with
NULL, we are fine. Check if we'd fetched NULL and treat that
as "bail out and tell the caller to get out of RCU mode".

Set mapping->gfp mask to GFP_NOFS for all metadata inodes so that
allocating pages in the address space of those inodes won't call back

find_or_create_page() to grab_cache_page() in two places.

fs: drop the timespec64 arg from generic_update_time

In future patches we're going to change how the ctime is updated
to keep track of when it has been queried. The way that the update_time
operation works (and a lot of its callers) make this difficult, since
they grab a timestamp early and then pass it down to eventually be
copied into the inode.

All of the existing update_time callers pass in the result of
current_time() in some fashion. Drop the "time" parameter from
generic_update_time, and rework it to fetch its own timestamp.

This change means that an update_time could fetch a different timestamp
than was seen in inode_needs_update_time. update_time is only ever
called with one of two flag combinations: Either S_ATIME is set, or
S_MTIME|S_CTIME|S_VERSION are set.

With this change we now treat the flags argument as an indicator that
some value needed to be updated when last checked, rather than an
indication to update specific timestamps.

Rework the logic for updating the timestamps and put it in a new
inode_update_timestamps helper that other update_time routines can use.
S_ATIME is as treated as we always have, but if any of the other three
are set, then we attempt to update all three.

Also, some callers of generic_update_time need to know what timestamps
were actually updated. Change it to return an S_* flag mask to indicate
that and rework the callers to expect it.

fs: pass the request_mask to generic_fillattr

generic_fillattr just fills in the entire stat struct indiscriminately
today, copying data from the inode. There is at least one attribute
(STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE) that can have side effects when it is reported,
and we're looking at adding more with the addition of multigrain
timestamps.

Add a request_mask argument to generic_fillattr and have most callers
just pass in the value that is passed to getattr. Have other callers
(e.g. ksmbd) just pass in STATX_BASIC_STATS. Also move the setting of
STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE into generic_fillattr.

The duplication is:

struct gfs2_inode *ip = GFS2_I(inode);
[...]
error = -ENOENT;
if (inode->i_nlink == 0)
goto out_gunlock;
[...]
error = -EINVAL;
if (!ip->i_inode.i_nlink)
goto out_gunlock;

The second check is removed. ENOENT is the correct error code for
attempts to link a deleted inode (ref: link(2)).

If we support O_TMPFILE in future the check will need to be updated with
an exception for inodes flagged I_LINKABLE so sorting out this
duplication now will make it a slightly cleaner change.

gfs2: gl_object races fix

Function glock_clear_object() checks if the specified glock is still
pointing at the right object and clears the gl_object pointer. To
handle the case of incompletely constructed inodes, glock_clear_object()
also allows gl_object to be NULL.

However, in the teardown case, when iget_failed() is called and the
inode is removed from the inode hash, by the time we get to the
glock_clear_object() calls in gfs2_put_super() and its helpers, we don't
have exclusion against concurrent gfs2_inode_lookup() and
gfs2_create_inode() calls, and the inode and iopen glocks may already be
pointing at another inode, so the checks in glock_clear_object() are
incorrect.

To better handle this case, always completely disassociate an inode from
its glocks before tearing it down. In addition, get rid of a duplicate
glock_clear_object() call in gfs2_evict_inode(). That way,
glock_clear_object() will only ever be called when the glock points at
the current inode, and the NULL check in glock_clear_object() can be
removed.
