nfsd: don't provide pre/post-op attrs if fh_getattr fails

nfsd calls fh_getattr to get the latest inode attrs for pre/post-op
info. In the event that fh_getattr fails, it resorts to scraping cached
values out of the inode directly.

Since these attributes are optional, we can just skip providing them
altogether when this happens.

exportfs: check for error return value from exportfs_encode_*()

The exportfs_encode_*() helpers call the filesystem ->encode_fh()
method which returns a signed int.

All the in-tree implementations of ->encode_fh() return a positive
integer and FILEID_INVALID (255) for error.

Fortify the callers for possible future ->encode_fh() implementation
that will return a negative error value.

name_to_handle_at() would propagate the returned error to the users
if filesystem ->encode_fh() method returns an error.

nfsd: use the getattr operation to fetch i_version

Now that we can call into vfs_getattr to get the i_version field, use
that facility to fetch it instead of doing it in nfsd4_change_attribute.

Neil also pointed out recently that IS_I_VERSION directory operations
are always logged, and so we only need to mitigate the rollback problem
on regular files. Also, we don't need to factor in the ctime when
reexporting NFS or Ceph.

Set the STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE (and BTIME) bits in the request when we're
dealing with a v4 request. Then, instead of looking at IS_I_VERSION when
generating the change attr, look at the result mask and only use it if
STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE is set.

Change nfsd4_change_attribute to only factor in the ctime if it's a
regular file and the fs doesn't advertise STATX_ATTR_CHANGE_MONOTONIC.

fs: port ->permission() to pass mnt_idmap

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.

Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.

Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.

Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

NFSD: reduce locking in nfsd_lookup()

nfsd_lookup() takes an exclusive lock on the parent inode, but no
callers want the lock and it may not be needed at all if the
result is in the dcache.

Change nfsd_lookup_dentry() to not take the lock, and call
lookup_one_len_locked() which takes lock only if needed.

nfsd4_open() currently expects the lock to still be held, but that isn't
necessary as nfsd_validate_delegated_dentry() provides required
guarantees without the lock.

NOTE: NFSv4 requires directory changeinfo for OPEN even when a create
wasn't requested and no change happened. Now that nfsd_lookup()
doesn't use fh_lock(), we need to explicitly fill the attributes
when no create happens. A new fh_fill_both_attrs() is provided
for that task.

NFSD: Remove CONFIG_NFSD_V3

Eventually support for NFSv2 in the Linux NFS server is to be
deprecated and then removed.

However, NFSv2 is the "always supported" version that is available
as soon as CONFIG_NFSD is set. Before NFSv2 support can be removed,
we need to choose a different "always supported" version.

This patch removes CONFIG_NFSD_V3 so that NFSv3 is always supported,
as NFSv2 is today. When NFSv2 support is removed, NFSv3 will become
the only "always supported" NFS version.

The defconfigs still need to be updated to remove CONFIG_NFSD_V3=y.

NFSD: simplify struct nfsfh

Most of the fields in 'struct knfsd_fh' are 2 levels deep (a union and a
struct) and are accessed using macros like:

#define fh_FOO fh_base.fh_new.fb_FOO

This patch makes the union and struct anonymous, so that "fh_FOO" can be
a name directly within 'struct knfsd_fh' and the #defines aren't needed.

The file handle as a whole is sometimes accessed as "fh_base" or
"fh_base.fh_pad", neither of which are particularly helpful names.
As the struct holding the filehandle is now anonymous, we
cannot use the name of that, so we union it with 'fh_raw' and use that
where the raw filehandle is needed. fh_raw also ensure the structure is
large enough for the largest possible filehandle.

fh_raw is a 'char' array, removing any need to cast it for memcpy etc.

SVCFH_fmt() is simplified using the "%ph" printk format. This
changes the appearance of filehandles in dprintk() debugging, making
them a little more precise.

namei: make permission helpers idmapped mount aware

The two helpers inode_permission() and generic_permission() are used by
the vfs to perform basic permission checking by verifying that the
caller is privileged over an inode. In order to handle idmapped mounts
we extend the two helpers with an additional user namespace argument.
On idmapped mounts the two helpers will make sure to map the inode
according to the mount's user namespace and then peform identical
permission checks to inode_permission() and generic_permission(). If the
initial user namespace is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts
will see identical behavior as before.

If the underlying filesystem times out, then we want knfsd to return
NFSERR_JUKEBOX/DELAY rather than NFSERR_STALE.

nfsd: add a new EXPORT_OP_NOWCC flag to struct export_operations

With NFSv3 nfsd will always attempt to send along WCC data to the
client. This generally involves saving off the in-core inode information
prior to doing the operation on the given filehandle, and then issuing a
vfs_getattr to it after the op.

Some filesystems (particularly clustered or networked ones) have an
expensive ->getattr inode operation. Atomicity is also often difficult
or impossible to guarantee on such filesystems. For those, we're best
off not trying to provide WCC information to the client at all, and to
simply allow it to poll for that information as needed with a GETATTR
RPC.

This patch adds a new flags field to struct export_operations, and
defines a new EXPORT_OP_NOWCC flag that filesystems can use to indicate
that nfsd should not attempt to provide WCC info in NFSv3 replies. It
also adds a blurb about the new flags field and flag to the exporting
documentation.

The server will also now skip collecting this information for NFSv2 as
well, since that info is never used there anyway.

Note that this patch does not add this flag to any filesystem
export_operations structures. This was originally developed to allow
reexporting nfs via nfsd.

Other filesystems may want to consider enabling this flag too. It's hard
to tell however which ones have export operations to enable export via
knfsd and which ones mostly rely on them for open-by-filehandle support,
so I'm leaving that up to the individual maintainers to decide. I am
cc'ing the relevant lists for those filesystems that I think may want to
consider adding this though.
