H A Dfile.c3978d816 Wed Sep 01 13:22:50 CDT 2021 David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> afs: Add missing vnode validation checks

afs_d_revalidate() should only be validating the directory entry it is
given and the directory to which that belongs; it shouldn't be validating
the inode/vnode to which that dentry points. Besides, validation need to
be done even if we don't call afs_d_revalidate() - which might be the case
if we're starting from a file descriptor.

In order for afs_d_revalidate() to be fixed, validation points must be
added in some other places. Certain directory operations, such as
afs_unlink(), already check this, but not all and not all file operations
either.

Note that the validation of a vnode not only checks to see if the
attributes we have are correct, but also gets a promise from the server to
notify us if that file gets changed by a third party.

Add the following checks:

- Check the vnode we're going to make a hard link to.
- Check the vnode we're going to move/rename.
- Check the vnode we're going to read from.
- Check the vnode we're going to write to.
- Check the vnode we're going to sync.
- Check the vnode we're going to make a mapped page writable for.

Some of these aren't strictly necessary as we're going to perform a server
operation that might get the attributes anyway from which we can determine
if something changed - though it might not get us a callback promise.
