There are two places here where we could race with a rename or remove:
- We could find the parent, but then be removed or renamed away
from that parent directory before finding our name in that
directory.
- We could find the parent, and find our name in that parent,
but then be renamed or removed before we look ourselves up by
that name in that parent.
In both cases the concurrent rename or remove will take care of
reconnecting the directory that we're currently examining. Our target
directory should then also be connected. Check this and clear
DISCONNECTED in these cases instead of looping around again.
Note: we *do* need to check that this actually happened if we want to be
robust in the face of corrupted filesystems: a corrupted filesystem
could just return a completely wrong parent, and we want to fail with an
error in that case before starting to clear DISCONNECTED on
non-DISCONNECTED filesystems.

Once we've found any connected parent, we know all our parents are
connected--that's true even if there's a concurrent rename. May as well
clear them all at once and be done with it.

DCACHE_DISCONNECTED should not be cleared until we're sure the dentry is
connected all the way up to the root of the filesystem. It *shouldn't*
be cleared as soon as the dentry is connected to a parent. That will
cause bugs at least on exportable filesystems.

I can't for the life of me see any reason why anyone should care whether
a dentry that is never hooked into the dentry cache would need
DCACHE_DISCONNECTED set.
This originates from 4b936885ab "fs:
improve scalability of pseudo filesystems", which probably just made the
false assumption the DCACHE_DISCONNECTED was meant to be set on anything
not connected to a parent somehow.
So this is just confusing. Ideally the only uses of DCACHE_DISCONNECTED
would be in the filehandle-lookup code, which needs it to ensure
dentries are connected into the dentry tree before use.
I left d_alloc_pseudo there even though it's now equivalent to
__d_alloc(), just on the theory the name is better documentation of its
intended use outside dcache.c.

Every hashed dentry is either hashed in the dentry_hashtable, or a
superblock's s_anon list.
__d_drop() assumes it can determine which is the case by checking
DCACHE_DISCONNECTED; this is not true.
It is true that when DCACHE_DISCONNECTED is cleared, the dentry is not
only hashed on dentry_hashtable, but is fully connected to its parents
back to the root.
But the converse is *not* true: fs/exportfs/expfs.c:reconnect_path()
attempts to connect a directory (found by filehandle lookup) back to
root by ascending to parents and performing lookups one at a time. It
does not clear DCACHE_DISCONNECTED until it's done, and that is not at
all an atomic process.
In particular, it is possible for DCACHE_DISCONNECTED to be set on a
dentry which is hashed on the dentry_hashtable.
Instead, use IS_ROOT() to check which hash chain a dentry is on. This
*does* work:
Dentries are hashed only by:
- d_obtain_alias, which adds an IS_ROOT() dentry to sb_anon.
- __d_rehash, called by _d_rehash: hashes to the dentry's
parent, and all callers of _d_rehash appear to have d_parent
set to a "real" parent.
- __d_rehash, called by __d_move: rehashes the moved dentry to
hash chain determined by target, and assigns target's d_parent
to its d_parent, before dropping the dentry's d_lock.
Therefore I believe it's safe for a holder of a dentry's d_lock to
assume that it is hashed on sb_anon if and only if IS_ROOT(dentry) is
true.
I believe the incorrect assumption about DCACHE_DISCONNECTED was
originally introduced by ceb5bdc2d2 "fs: dcache per-bucket dcache hash
locking".
Also add a comment while we're here.

Put a type field into struct dentry::d_flags to indicate if the dentry is one
of the following types that relate particularly to pathwalk:
Miss (negative dentry)
Directory
"Automount" directory (defective - no i_op->lookup())
Symlink
Other (regular, socket, fifo, device)
The type field is set to one of the first five types on a dentry by calls to
__d_instantiate() and d_obtain_alias() from information in the inode (if one is
given).
The type is cleared by dentry_unlink_inode() when it reconstitutes an existing
dentry as a negative dentry.
Accessors provided are:
d_set_type(dentry, type)
d_is_directory(dentry)
d_is_autodir(dentry)
d_is_symlink(dentry)
d_is_file(dentry)
d_is_negative(dentry)
d_is_positive(dentry)
A bunch of checks in pathname resolution switched to those.

* RCU-delayed freeing of vfsmounts
* vfsmount_lock replaced with a seqlock (mount_lock)
* sequence number from mount_lock is stored in nameidata->m_seq and
used when we exit RCU mode
* new vfsmount flag - MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT. Set by umount_tree() when its
caller knows that vfsmount will have no surviving references.
* synchronize_rcu() done between unlocking namespace_sem in namespace_unlock()
and doing pending mntput().
* new helper: legitimize_mnt(mnt, seq). Checks the mount_lock sequence
number against seq, then grabs reference to mnt. Then it rechecks mount_lock
again to close the race and either returns success or drops the reference it
has acquired. The subtle point is that in case of MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT we can
simply decrement the refcount and sod off - aforementioned synchronize_rcu()
makes sure that final mntput() won't come until we leave RCU mode. We need
that, since we don't want to end up with some lazy pathwalk racing with
umount() and stealing the final mntput() from it - caller of umount() may
expect it to return only once the fs is shut down and we don't want to break
that. In other cases (i.e. with MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT absent) we have to do
full-blown mntput() in case of mount_lock sequence number mismatch happening
just as we'd grabbed the reference, but in those cases we won't be stealing
the final mntput() from anything that would care.
* mntput_no_expire() doesn't lock anything on the fast path now. Incidentally,
SMP and UP cases are handled the same way - no ifdefs there.
* normal pathname resolution does *not* do any writes to mount_lock. It does,
of course, bump the refcounts of vfsmount and dentry in the very end, but that's
it.
