commit 5467a68cbf6884c9a9d91e2a89140afb1839c835 upstream.

For lockless accesses to dentries we don't have pinned we rely
(among other things) upon having an RCU delay between dropping
the last reference and actually freeing the memory.

On the other hand, for things like pipes and sockets we neither
do that kind of lockless access, nor want to deal with the
overhead of an RCU delay every time a socket gets closed.

So delay was made optional - setting DCACHE_RCUACCESS in -&gt;d_flags
made sure it would happen.  We tried to avoid setting it unless
we knew we need it.  Unfortunately, that had led to recurring
class of bugs, in which we missed the need to set it.

We only really need it for dentries that are created by
d_alloc_pseudo(), so let's not bother with trying to be smart -
just make having an RCU delay the default.  The ones that do
*not* get it set the replacement flag (DCACHE_NORCU) and we'd
better use that sparingly.  d_alloc_pseudo() is the only
such user right now.

FWIW, the race that finally prompted that switch had been
between __lock_parent() of immediate subdirectory of what's
currently the root of a disconnected tree (e.g. from
open-by-handle in progress) racing with d_splice_alias()
elsewhere picking another alias for the same inode, either
on outright corrupted fs image, or (in case of open-by-handle
on NFS) that subdirectory having been just moved on server.
It's not easy to hit, so the sky is not falling, but that's
not the first race on similar missed cases and the logics
for settinf DCACHE_RCUACCESS has gotten ridiculously
convoluted.

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "We've continued mainly to fix bugs in this round, as f2fs has been
  shipped in more devices. Especially, we've focused on stabilizing
  checkpoint=disable feature, and provided some interfaces for QA.

   - expose FS_NOCOW_FL for pin_file
   - run discard jobs at unmount time with timeout
   - tune discarding thread to avoid idling which consumes power
   - some checking codes to address vulnerabilities
   - give random value to i_generation

 "The highlights are:

   - rbd will now ignore discards that aren't aligned and big enough to
     actually free up some space (myself). This is controlled by the new
     alloc_size map option and can be disabled if needed.

   - support for rbd deep-flatten feature (myself). Deep-flatten allows
     "rbd flatten" to fully disconnect the clone image and its snapshots
     from the parent and make the parent snapshot removable.

   - a new round of cap handling improvements (Zheng Yan). The kernel
     client should now be much more prompt about releasing its caps and
     it is possible to put a limit on the number of caps held.

   - support for getting ceph.dir.pin extended attribute (Zheng Yan)"

Pull vfs mount infrastructure updates from Al Viro:
 "The rest of core infrastructure; no new syscalls in that pile, but the
  old parts are switched to new infrastructure. At that point
  conversions of individual filesystems can happen independently; some
  are done here (afs, cgroup, procfs, etc.), there's also a large series
  outside of that pile dealing with NFS (quite a bit of option-parsing
  stuff is getting used there - it's one of the most convoluted
  filesystems in terms of mount-related logics), but NFS bits are the
  next cycle fodder.

  It got seriously simplified since the last cycle; documentation is
  probably the weakest bit at the moment - I considered dropping the
  commit introducing Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt (cutting
  the size increase by quarter ;-), but decided that it would be better
  to fix it up after -rc1 instead.

  That pile allows to do followup work in independent branches, which
  should make life much easier for the next cycle. fs/super.c size
  increase is unpleasant; there's a followup series that allows to
  shrink it considerably, but I decided to leave that until the next
  cycle"

  for fscrypt, and we're now using a shared git tree. So we've updated

  The actual changes for v5.1 are:

   - Remove the fs-specific kconfig options like CONFIG_EXT4_ENCRYPTION
     and make fscrypt support for all fscrypt-capable filesystems be
     controlled by CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION, similar to how CONFIG_QUOTA
     works.

   - Improve error code for rename() and link() into encrypted
     directories.

   - Various cleanups"
