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.

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.

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.

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. Signed-off-by:

Newer compilers (gcc 4.6) complains about: return ret < 0 ?: 0; For the following reason: util/probe-finder.c: In function ‘probe_point_lazy_walker’: util/probe-finder.c:1331:18: error: the omitted middle operand in ?: will always be ‘true’, suggest explicit middle operand [-Werror=parentheses] And indeed the return value is a somewhat obscure (but correct) value of 'true', so return 'ret' instead - this is cleaner and unconfuses GCC as well.

For readlinkat() we simply allow empty pathname; it will fail unless we have dfd equal to O_PATH-opened symlink, so we are outside of POSIX scope here. For fchownat() and fstatat() we allow AT_EMPTY_PATH; let the caller explicitly ask for such behaviour. Signed-off-by:

At that point we can't do almost nothing with them. They can be opened with O_PATH, we can manipulate such descriptors with dup(), etc. and we can see them in /proc/*/{fd,fdinfo}/*. We can't (and won't be able to) follow /proc/*/fd/* symlinks for those; there's simply not enough information for pathname resolution to go on from such point - to resolve a symlink we need to know which directory does it live in. We will be able to do useful things with them after the next commit, though - readlinkat() and fchownat() will be possible to use with dfd being an O_PATH-opened symlink and empty relative pathname. Combined with open_by_handle() it'll give us a way to do realink-by-handle and lchown-by-handle without messing with more redundant syscalls. Signed-off-by:

New flag for open(2) - O_PATH. Semantics: * pathname is resolved, but the file itself is _NOT_ opened as far as filesystem is concerned. * almost all operations on the resulting descriptors shall fail with -EBADF. Exceptions are: 1) operations on descriptors themselves (i.e. close(), dup(), dup2(), dup3(), fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD), fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC, ...), fcntl(fd, F_GETFD), fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, ...)) 2) fcntl(fd, F_GETFL), for a common non-destructive way to check if descriptor is open 3) "dfd" arguments of ...at(2) syscalls, i.e. the starting points of pathname resolution * closing such descriptor does *NOT* affect dnotify or posix locks. * permissions are checked as usual along the way to file; no permission checks are applied to the file itself. Of course, giving such thing to syscall will result in permission checks (at the moment it means checking that starting point of ....at() is a directory and caller has exec permissions on it). fget() and fget_light() return NULL on such descriptors; use of fget_raw() and fget_raw_light() is needed to get them. That protects existing code from dealing with those things. There are two things still missing (they come in the next commits): one is handling of symlinks (right now we refuse to open them that way; see the next commit for semantics related to those) and another is descriptor passing via SCM_RIGHTS datagrams.
