Have nfs*_get_root() stuff a copy of devname into ->d_fsdata of the

Have ->d_release() free it when dentry goes away.

Have the places where NFS uses ->d_fsdata for sillyrename (and that
can *never* happen to a disconnected root - dentry will be attached
to its parent) free old devname copies if they find those.

34d211a2d5 Increase OSF partition limit from 8 to 18
It turns out that while a maximum of 8 partitions may be what people
"should" have had, you can actually fit up to 18 entries(*) in a sector.

And some people clearly were taking advantage of that, like Michael
Cree, who had ten partitions on one of his OSF disks.

(*) The OSF partition data starts at byte offset 64 in the first sector,
    and the array of 16-byte partition entries start at offset 148 in
    the on-disk partition structure.

bab1d9444d prune back iprune_sem
iprune_sem is continously giving us lockdep warnings because we do take it in
read mode in the reclaim path, but we're also doing non-NOFS allocations under
it taken in write mode.

Taking a bit deeper look at it I think it's fixable quite trivially:

 - for invalidate_inodes we do not need iprune_sem at all.  We have an active
   reference on the superblock, so the filesystem is not going away until it
   has finished.
 - for evict_inodes we do need it, to make sure prune_icache has done it's
   work before we tear down the superblock.  But there is no reason to
   hold it over the actual reclaim operation - it's enough to cycle through
   it after the actual reclaim to make sure we wait for any pending
   prune_icache to complete.  We just have to remove the WARN_ON for
   otherwise busy inodes as they can actually happen now.

c83ce989cb VFS: Fix the nfs sillyrename regression in kernel 2.6.38
The new vfs locking scheme introduced in 2.6.38 breaks NFS sillyrename
because the latter relies on being able to determine the parent
directory of the dentry in the ->iput() callback in order to send the
appropriate unlink rpc call.

Looking at the code that cares about races with dput(), there doesn't
seem to be anything that specifically uses d_parent as a test for
whether or not there is a race:
  - __d_lookup_rcu(), __d_lookup() all test for d_hashed() after d_parent
  - shrink_dcache_for_umount() is safe since nothing else can rearrange
    the dentries in that super block.
  - have_submount(), select_parent() and d_genocide() can test for a
    deletion if we set the DCACHE_DISCONNECTED flag when the dentry
    is removed from the parent's d_subdirs list.

c826cb7dfc dcache.c: create helper function for duplicated functionality
This creates a helper function for he "try to ascend into the parent
directory" case, which was written out in triplicate before.  With all
the locking and subtle sequence number stuff, we really don't want to
duplicate that kind of code.

574197e0de tidy the trailing symlinks traversal up
* pull the handling of current->total_link_count into
__do_follow_link()
* put the common "do ->put_link() if needed and path_put() the link"
  stuff into a helper (put_link(nd, link, cookie))
* rename __do_follow_link() to follow_link(), while we are at it

b356379a02 Turn resolution of trailing symlinks iterative everywhere
The last remaining place (resolution of nested symlink) converted
to the loop of the same kind we have in path_lookupat() and
path_openat().

Note that we still *do* have a recursion in pathname resolution;
can't avoid it, really.  However, it's strictly for nested symlinks
now - i.e. ones in the middle of a pathname.

link_path_walk() has lost the tail now - it always walks everything
except the last component.

do_follow_link() renamed to nested_symlink() and moved down.

ce0525449d simplify link_path_walk() tail
Now that link_path_walk() is called without LOOKUP_PARENT
only from do_follow_link(), we can simplify the checks in
last component handling.  First of all, checking if we'd
arrived to a directory is not needed - the caller will check
it anyway.  And LOOKUP_FOLLOW is guaranteed to be there,
since we only get to that place with nd->depth > 0.

ce57dfc179 pull handling of one pathname component into a helper
new helper: walk_component().  Handles everything except symlinks;
returns negative on error, 0 on success and 1 on symlinks we decided
to follow.  Drops out of RCU mode on such symlinks.

link_path_walk() and do_last() switched to using that.

11a7b371b6 fs: allow AT_EMPTY_PATH in linkat(), limit that to CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH
We don't want to allow creation of private hardlinks by different application
using the fd passed to them via SCM_RIGHTS. So limit the null relative name
usage in linkat syscall to CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH
