libfs: take cursors out of list when moving past the end of directory

Fix the locking in dcache_readdir() and friends

2019-09-22T23:40:10Z

There are two problems in dcache_readdir() - one is that lockless traversal of the list needs non-trivial cooperation of d_alloc() (at least a switch to list_add_rcu(), and probably more than just that) and another is that it assumes that no removal will happen without the directory locked exclusive. Said assumption had always been there, never had been stated explicitly and is violated by several places in the kernel (devpts and selinuxfs). * replacement of next_positive() with different calling conventions: it returns struct list_head * instead of struct dentry *; the latter is passed in and out by reference, grabbing the result and dropping the original value. * scan is under ->d_lock. If we run out of timeslice, cursor is moved after the last position we'd reached and we reschedule; then the scan continues from that place. To avoid livelocks between multiple lseek() (with cursors getting moved past each other, never reaching the real entries) we always skip the cursors, need_resched() or not. * returned list_head * is either ->d_child of dentry we'd found or ->d_subdirs of parent (if we got to the end of the list). * dcache_readdir() and dcache_dir_lseek() switched to new helper. dcache_readdir() always holds a reference to dentry passed to dir_emit() now. Cursor is moved to just before the entry where dir_emit() has failed or into the very end of the list, if we'd run out. * move_cursor() eliminated - it had sucky calling conventions and after fixing that it became simply list_move() (in lseek and scan_positives) or list_move_tail() (in readdir). All operations with the list are under ->d_lock now, and we do not depend upon having all file removals done with parent locked exclusive anymore.

mount_pseudo(): drop 'name' argument, switch to d_make_root()

2019-05-25T21:59:24Z

Once upon a time we used to set ->d_name of e.g. pipefs root so that d_path() on pipes would work. These days it's completely pointless - dentries of pipes are not even connected to pipefs root. However, mount_pseudo() had set the root dentry name (passed as the second argument) and callers kept inventing names to pass to it. Including those that didn't *have* any non-root dentries to start with... All of that had been pointless for about 8 years now; it's time to get rid of that cargo-culting... Signed-off-by: Al Viro
