nfs_lookup_revalidate, nfs4_lookup_revalidate, and nfs_permission
all need to understand and handle RCU-walk for NFS to gain the
benefits of RCU-walk for cached information.
Currently these functions all immediately return -ECHILD
if the relevant flag (LOOKUP_RCU or MAY_NOT_BLOCK) is set.
This patch pushes those tests later in the code so that we only abort
immediately before we enter rcu-unsafe code. As subsequent patches
make that rcu-unsafe code rcu-safe, several of these new tests will
disappear.
With this patch there are several paths through the code which will no
longer return -ECHILD during an RCU-walk. However these are mostly
error paths or other uninteresting cases.
A noteworthy change in nfs_lookup_revalidate is that we don't take
(or put) the reference to ->d_parent when LOOKUP_RCU is set.
Rather we rcu_dereference ->d_parent, and check that ->d_inode
is not NULL. We also check that ->d_parent hasn't changed after
all the tests.
In nfs4_lookup_revalidate we simply avoid testing LOOKUP_RCU on the
path that only calls nfs_lookup_revalidate() as that function
already performs the required test.
