Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A
filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user
namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for
additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to
translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all
relevant helpers in earlier patches.
As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of
introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly
mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

The generic_fillattr() helper fills in the basic attributes associated
with an inode. Enable it to handle idmapped mounts. If the inode is
accessed through an idmapped mount map it into the mount's user
namespace before we store the uid and gid. If the initial user namespace
is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical
behavior as before.

nfsiod is currently a concurrency-managed workqueue (CMWQ).
This means that workitems scheduled to nfsiod on a given CPU are queued
behind all other work items queued on any CMWQ on the same CPU. This
can introduce unexpected latency.
Occaionally nfsiod can even cause excessive latency. If the work item
to complete a CLOSE request calls the final iput() on an inode, the
address_space of that inode will be dismantled. This takes time
proportional to the number of in-memory pages, which on a large host
working on large files (e.g.. 5TB), can be a large number of pages
resulting in a noticable number of seconds.
We can avoid these latency problems by switching nfsiod to WQ_UNBOUND.
This causes each concurrent work item to gets a dedicated thread which
can be scheduled to an idle CPU.
There is precedent for this as several other filesystems use WQ_UNBOUND
workqueue for handling various async events.

Implement client side caching for NFSv4.2 extended attributes. The cache
is a per-inode hashtable, with name/value entries. There is one special
entry for the listxattr cache.
NFS inodes have a pointer to a cache structure. The cache structure is
allocated on demand, freed when the cache is invalidated.

Use the following command to test nfsv4(size of file1M is 1MB):
mount -t nfs -o vers=4.0,actimeo=60 127.0.0.1/dir1 /mnt
cp file1M /mnt
du -h /mnt/file1M -->0 within 60s, then 1M
When write is done(cp file1M /mnt), will call this:
nfs_writeback_done
nfs4_write_done
nfs4_write_done_cb
nfs_writeback_update_inode
nfs_post_op_update_inode_force_wcc_locked(change, ctime, mtime
nfs_post_op_update_inode_force_wcc_locked
nfs_set_cache_invalid
nfs_refresh_inode_locked
nfs_update_inode
nfsd write response contains change, ctime, mtime, the flag will be
clear after nfs_update_inode. Howerver, write response does not contain
space_used, previous open response contains space_used whose value is 0,
so inode->i_blocks is still 0.
nfs_getattr -->called by "du -h"
do_update |= force_sync || nfs_attribute_cache_expired -->false in 60s
cache_validity = READ_ONCE(NFS_I(inode)->cache_validity)
do_update |= cache_validity & (NFS_INO_INVALID_ATTR -->false
if (do_update) {
__nfs_revalidate_inode

Add a mount option 'softreval' that allows attribute revalidation 'getattr'
calls to time out, and causes them to fall back to using the cached

The use case for this option is for ensuring that we can still (slowly)
traverse paths and use cached information even when the server is down.
Once the server comes back up again, the getattr calls start succeeding,
and the caches will revalidate as usual.
The 'softreval' mount option is automatically enabled if you have
specified 'softerr'. It can be turned off using the options
'nosoftreval', or 'hard'.

According to the open() manpage, Linux reserves the access mode 3
to mean "check for read and write permission on the file and return
a file descriptor that can't be used for reading or writing."
Currently, the NFSv4 code will ask the server to open the file,
and will use an incorrect share access mode of 0. Since it has
an incorrect share access mode, the client later forgets to send
a corresponding close, meaning it can leak stateids on the server.

SUNRPC has two sorts of credentials, both of which appear as
"struct rpc_cred".
There are "generic credentials" which are supplied by clients
such as NFS and passed in 'struct rpc_message' to indicate
which user should be used to authorize the request, and there
are low-level credentials such as AUTH_NULL, AUTH_UNIX, AUTH_GSS
which describe the credential to be sent over the wires.
This patch replaces all the generic credentials by 'struct cred'
pointers - the credential structure used throughout Linux.
For machine credentials, there is a special 'struct cred *' pointer
which is statically allocated and recognized where needed as
having a special meaning. A look-up of a low-level cred will
map this to a machine credential.

NFS needs to know when a credential is about to expire so that
it can modify write-back behaviour to finish the write inside the
expiry time.
It currently uses functions in SUNRPC code which make use of a
fairly complex callback scheme and flags in the generic credientials.
As I am working to discard the generic credentials, this has to change.
This patch moves the logic into NFS, in part by finding and caching
the low-level credential in the open_context. We then make direct
cred-api calls on that.
This makes the code much simpler and removes a dependency on generic
rpc credentials.

Pull the timespec64 conversion from Deepa Dinamani:
"The series aims to switch vfs timestamps to use

which is not y2038 safe.
The flag patch applies cleanly. I've not seen the timestamps
update logic change often. The series applies cleanly on 4.17-rc6

I'm not sure how to merge this kind of a series with a flag patch.
We are targeting 4.18 for this.
Let me know if you have other suggestions.
The series involves the following:
1. Add vfs helper functions for supporting struct timepec64 timestamps.
2. Cast prints of vfs timestamps to avoid warnings after the switch.
3. Simplify code using vfs timestamps so that the actual
replacement becomes easy.
4. Convert vfs timestamps to use struct timespec64 using a script.
This is a flag day patch.
I've tried to keep the conversions with the script simple, to
aid in the reviews. I've kept all the internal filesystem data
structures and function signatures the same.
Next steps:
1. Convert APIs that can handle timespec64, instead of converting
timestamps at the boundaries.
2. Update internal data structures to avoid timestamp conversions."
I've pulled it into a branch based on top of the NFS changes that
are now in mainline, so I could resolve the non-obvious conflict
between the two while merging.
