Merge branch 'fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

Pull vfs d_inode/d_flags memory ordering fixes from Al Viro:
"Fallout from tree-wide audit for ->d_inode/->d_flags barriers use.
Basically, the problem is that negative pinned dentries require
careful treatment - unless ->d_lock is locked or parent is held at
least shared, another thread can make them positive right under us.

Most of the uses turned out to be safe - the main surprises as far as
filesystems are concerned were

- race in dget_parent() fastpath, that might end up with the caller
observing the returned dentry _negative_, due to insufficient
barriers. It is positive in memory, but we could end up seeing the
wrong value of ->d_inode in CPU cache. Fixed.

- manual checks that result of lookup_one_len_unlocked() is positive
(and rejection of negatives). Again, insufficient barriers (we
might end up with inconsistent observed values of ->d_inode and
->d_flags). Fixed by switching to a new primitive that does the
checks itself and returns ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) instead of a negative
dentry. That way we get rid of boilerplate converting negatives
into ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) in the callers and have a single place to
deal with the barrier-related mess - inside fs/namei.c rather than
in every caller out there.

The guts of pathname resolution *do* need to be careful - the race
found by Ritesh is real, as well as several similar races.
Fortunately, it turns out that we can take care of that with fairly
local changes in there.

The tree-wide audit had not been fun, and I hate the idea of repeating
it. I think the right approach would be to annotate the places where
we are _not_ guaranteed ->d_inode/->d_flags stability and have sparse
catch regressions. But I'm still not sure what would be the least
invasive way of doing that and it's clearly the next cycle fodder"

"The main changes in this cycle were:

- A comprehensive rewrite of the robust/PI futex code's exit handling

cmpxchg() loops is mitigated for common refcount operations.

With these performance improvements the generic implementation of
refcount_t should be good enough for everybody - and this got
confirmed by performance testing, so remove ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT and
REFCOUNT_FULL entirely, leaving the generic implementation enabled
unconditionally. (Will Deacon)

fs/namei.c: fix missing barriers when checking positivity

Pinned negative dentries can, generally, be made positive
by another thread. Conditions that prevent that are
* ->d_lock on dentry in question
* parent directory held at least shared
* nobody else could have observed the address of dentry
Most of the places working with those fall into one of those
categories; however, d_lookup() and friends need to be used
with some care. Fortunately, there's not a lot of call sites,
and with few exceptions all of those fall under one of the
cases above.

Exceptions are all in fs/namei.c - in lookup_fast(), lookup_dcache()
and mountpoint_last(). Another one is lookup_slow() - there
dcache lookup is done with parent held shared, but the result
is used after we'd drop the lock. The same happens in do_last() -
the lookup (in lookup_one()) is done with parent locked, but
result is used after unlocking.

lookup_fast(), do_last() and mountpoint_last() flat-out reject
negatives.

Most of lookup_dcache() calls are made with parent locked at least
shared; the only exception is lookup_one_len_unlocked(). It might
return pinned negative, needs serious care from callers. Fortunately,
almost nobody calls it directly anymore; all but two callers have
converted to lookup_positive_unlocked(), which rejects negatives.

lookup_slow() is called by the same lookup_one_len_unlocked() (see
above), mountpoint_last() and walk_component(). In those two negatives
are rejected.

In other words, there is a small set of places where we need to
check carefully if a pinned potentially negative dentry is, in
fact, positive. After that check we want to be sure that both
->d_inode and type bits in ->d_flags are stable and observed.
The set consists of follow_managed() (where the rejection happens
for lookup_fast(), walk_component() and do_last()), last_mountpoint()
and lookup_positive_unlocked().

Solution:
1) transition from negative to positive (in __d_set_inode_and_type())
stores ->d_inode, then uses smp_store_release() to set ->d_flags type bits.
2) aforementioned 3 places in fs/namei.c fetch ->d_flags with
smp_load_acquire() and bugger off if it type bits say "negative".
That way anyone downstream of those checks has dentry know positive pinned,
with ->d_inode and type bits of ->d_flags stable and observed.

I considered splitting off d_lookup_positive(), so that the checks could
be done right there, under ->d_lock. However, that leads to massive
duplication of rather subtle code in fs/namei.c and fs/dcache.c. It's
worse than it might seem, thanks to autofs ->d_manage() getting involved ;-/
No matter what, autofs_d_manage()/autofs_d_automount() must live with
the possibility of pinned negative dentry passed their way, becoming
positive under them - that's the intended behaviour when lookup comes
in the middle of automount in progress, so we can't keep them out of
the area that has to deal with those, more's the pity...

fix dget_parent() fastpath race

We are overoptimistic about taking the fast path there; seeing
the same value in ->d_parent after having grabbed a reference
to that parent does *not* mean that it has remained our parent
all along.

That wouldn't be a big deal (in the end it is our parent and
we have grabbed the reference we are about to return), but...
the situation with barriers is messed up.

We might have hit the following sequence:

d is a dentry of /tmp/a/b
CPU1: CPU2:
parent = d->d_parent (i.e. dentry of /tmp/a)
rename /tmp/a/b to /tmp/b
rmdir /tmp/a, making its dentry negative
grab reference to parent,
end up with cached parent->d_inode (NULL)
mkdir /tmp/a, rename /tmp/b to /tmp/a/b
recheck d->d_parent, which is back to original
decide that everything's fine and return the reference we'd got.

The trouble is, caller (on CPU1) will observe dget_parent()
returning an apparently negative dentry. It actually is positive,
but CPU1 has stale ->d_inode cached.

Use d->d_seq to see if it has been moved instead of rechecking ->d_parent.
NOTE: we are *NOT* going to retry on any kind of ->d_seq mismatch;
we just go into the slow path in such case. We don't wait for ->d_seq
to become even either - again, if we are racing with renames, we
can bloody well go to slow path anyway.
