When the kernfs_iattr_rwsem was introduced a case was missed.
The update of the kernfs directory node child count was also protected
by the kernfs_rwsem and needs to be included in the change so that the
child count (and so the inode n_link attribute) does not change while
holding the rwsem for read.

Enable "user." extended attributes on tmpfs, limiting them by tracking
the space they occupy, and deducting that space from the limited ispace
(unless tmpfs mounted with nr_inodes=0 to leave that ispace unlimited).
tmpfs inodes and simple xattrs are both unswappable, and have to be in
lowmem on a 32-bit highmem kernel: so the ispace limit is appropriate
for xattrs, without any need for a further mount option.
Add simple_xattr_space() to give approximate but deterministic estimate
of the space taken up by each xattr: with simple_xattrs_free() outputting
the space freed if required (but kernfs and even some tmpfs usages do not
require that, so don't waste time on strlen'ing if not needed).
Security and trusted xattrs were already supported: for consistency and
simplicity, account them from the same pool; though there's a small risk
that a tmpfs with enough space before would now be considered too small.
When extended attributes are used, "df -i" does show more IUsed and less
IFree than can be explained by the inodes: document that (manpage later).
xfstests tests/generic which were not run on tmpfs before but now pass:

Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1.
Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening in
the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and "struct
class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these changes.
This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more
"provably correct" as well as providing more obvious lifetime rules for
all busses and classes in the kernel.
The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and
busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters
instead. All of these changes have been submitted to the various
subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most of
them actually did so.
Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other
things:
- kobject logging improvements
- cacheinfo improvements and updates
- obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes
- documentation updates
- device property cleanups and const * changes
- firwmare loader dependency fixes.

Right now per-fs kernfs_rwsem protects list of kernfs_super_info instances
for a kernfs_root. Since kernfs_rwsem is used to synchronize several other
operations across kernfs and since most of these operations don't impact
kernfs_super_info, we can use a separate per-fs rwsem to synchronize access
to list of kernfs_super_info.
This helps in reducing contention around kernfs_rwsem and also allows
operations that change/access list of kernfs_super_info to proceed without
contending for kernfs_rwsem.

Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.3-rc1.
There's a lot of changes this development cycle, most of the work falls
into two different categories:
- fw_devlink fixes and updates. This has gone through numerous review
cycles and lots of review and testing by lots of different devices.
Hopefully all should be good now, and Saravana will be keeping a
watch for any potential regression on odd embedded systems.
- driver core changes to work to make struct bus_type able to be moved
into read-only memory (i.e. const) The recent work with Rust has
pointed out a number of areas in the driver core where we are
passing around and working with structures that really do not have
to be dynamic at all, and they should be able to be read-only making
things safer overall. This is the contuation of that work (started
last release with kobject changes) in moving struct bus_type to be
constant. We didn't quite make it for this release, but the
remaining patches will be finished up for the release after this
one, but the groundwork has been laid for this effort.
Other than that we have in here:
- debugfs memory leak fixes in some subsystems
- error path cleanups and fixes for some never-able-to-be-hit
codepaths.
- cacheinfo rework and fixes
- Other tiny fixes, full details are in the shortlog

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.
Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.
Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.
Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

In kernfs_dop_revalidate() when the passed in dentry is negative the
dentry directory is checked to see if it has changed and if so the
negative dentry is discarded so it can refreshed. During this check
the dentry inode i_lock is taken to mitigate against a possible
concurrent rename.
But if it's racing with a rename, becuase the dentry is negative, it
can't be the source it must be the target and it must be going to do
a d_move() otherwise the rename will return an error.
In this case the parent dentry of the target will not change, it will
be the same over the d_move(), only the source dentry parent may change
so the inode i_lock isn't needed.

Currently, kernfs nodes can be created hidden and activated later by calling
kernfs_activate() to allow creation of multiple nodes to succeed or fail as
a unit. This is an one-way one-time-only transition. This patch introduces
kernfs_show() which can toggle visibility dynamically.
As the currently proposed use - toggling the cgroup pressure files - only
requires operating on leaf nodes, for the sake of simplicity, restrict it as
such for now.
Hiding uses the same mechanism as deactivation and likewise guarantees that
there are no in-flight operations on completion. KERNFS_ACTIVATED and
KERNFS_HIDDEN are used to manage the interactions between activations and
show/hide operations. A node is visible iff both activated & !hidden.

KERNFS_ACTIVATED tracks whether a given node has ever been activated. As a
node was only deactivated on removal, this was used for
1. Drain optimization (removed by the previous patch).
2. To hide !activated nodes
3. To avoid double activations
4. Reject adding children to a node being removed
5. Skip activaing a node which is being removed.
We want to decouple deactivation from removal so that nodes can be
deactivated and hidden dynamically, which makes KERNFS_ACTIVATED useless for
all of the above purposes.
#1 is already gone. #2 and #3 can instead test whether the node is currently
active. A new flag KERNFS_REMOVING is added to explicitly mark nodes which
are being removed for #4 and #5.
While this leaves KERNFS_ACTIVATED with no users, leave it be as it will be
used in a following patch.

__kernfs_remove() was skipping draining based on KERNFS_ACTIVATED - whether
the node has ever been activated since creation. Instead, update it to
always call kernfs_drain() which now drains or skips based on the precise
drain conditions. This ensures that the nodes will be deactivated and
drained regardless of their states.
This doesn't make meaningful difference now but will enable deactivating and
draining nodes dynamically by making removals safe when racing those
operations.
While at it, drop / update comments.

kernfs_drain_open_files()'s caller - kernfs_drain().
This isn't a meaningful optimization on its own but will enable future
stand-alone kernfs_deactivate() implementation.
v2: Chengming noticed that on->nr_to_release was leaking after ->open()
failure. Fix it by telling kernfs_unlink_open_file() that it's called
from the ->open() fail path and should dec the counter. Use kzalloc() to
allocate kernfs_open_node so that the tracking fields are correctly
initialized.

Previously the protection of kernfs_pr_cont_buf was piggy backed by
rename_lock, which means that pr_cont() needs to be protected under
rename_lock. This can cause potential circular lock dependencies.
If there is an OOM, we have the following call hierarchy:
-> cpuset_print_current_mems_allowed()
-> pr_cont_cgroup_name()
-> pr_cont_kernfs_name()
pr_cont_kernfs_name() will grab rename_lock and call printk. So we have
the following lock dependencies:
kernfs_rename_lock -> console_sem
Sometimes, printk does a wakeup before releasing console_sem, which has
the dependence chain:
console_sem -> p->pi_lock -> rq->lock
Now, imagine one wants to read cgroup_name under rq->lock, for example,
printing cgroup_name in a tracepoint in the scheduler code. They will
be holding rq->lock and take rename_lock:
rq->lock -> kernfs_rename_lock
Now they will deadlock.
A prevention to this circular lock dependency is to separate the
protection of pr_cont_buf from rename_lock. In principle, rename_lock
is to protect the integrity of cgroup name when copying to buf. Once
pr_cont_buf has got its content, rename_lock can be dropped. So it's
safe to drop rename_lock after kernfs_name_locked (and
kernfs_path_from_node_locked) and rely on a dedicated pr_cont_lock
to protect pr_cont_buf.

The kernfs implementation has big lock granularity(kernfs_rwsem) so
every kernfs-based(e.g., sysfs, cgroup) fs are able to compete the
lock. It makes trouble for some cases to wait the global lock
for a long time even though they are totally independent contexts
each other.
A general example is process A goes under direct reclaim with holding
the lock when it accessed the file in sysfs and process B is waiting
the lock with exclusive mode and then process C is waiting the lock
until process B could finish the job after it gets the lock from
process A.
This patch switches the global kernfs_rwsem to per-fs lock, which
put the rwsem into kernfs_root.

It's been reported that doing stress test for module insertion and
removal can result in an ENOENT from libkmod for a valid module.
In kernfs_iop_lookup() a negative dentry is created if there's no kernfs
node associated with the dentry or the node is inactive.
But inactive kernfs nodes are meant to be invisible to the VFS and
creating a negative dentry for these can have unexpected side effects
when the node transitions to an active state.
The point of creating negative dentries is to avoid the expensive
alloc/free cycle that occurs if there are frequent lookups for kernfs
attributes that don't exist. So kernfs nodes that are not yet active
should not result in a negative dentry being created so when they
transition to an active state VFS lookups can create an associated
dentry is a natural way.
It's also been reported that https://github.com/osandov/blktests.git
test block/001 hangs during the test. It was suggested that recent
changes to blktests might have caused it but applying this patch
resolved the problem without change to blktests.

It seems a positive dentry in kernfs becomes a negative dentry directly
through d_delete() in vfs_rmdir(). dentry->d_time is uninitialized
when accessing it in kernfs_dop_revalidate(), because it is only
initialized when created as negative dentry in kernfs_iop_lookup().
The problem can be reproduced by the following command:
cd /sys/fs/cgroup/pids && mkdir hi && stat hi && rmdir hi && stat hi
A simple fixes seems to be initializing d->d_time for positive dentry
in kernfs_iop_lookup() as well. The downside is the negative dentry
will be revalidated again after it becomes negative in d_delete(),
because the revison of its parent must have been increased due to
its removal.
Alternative solution is implement .d_iput for kernfs, and assign d_time
for the newly-generated negative dentry in it. But we may need to
take kernfs_rwsem to protect again the concurrent kernfs_link_sibling()
on the parent directory, it is a little over-killing. Now the simple
fix is chosen.

If there are many lookups for non-existent paths these negative lookups
can lead to a lot of overhead during path walks.
The VFS allows dentries to be created as negative and hashed, and caches
them so they can be used to reduce the fairly high overhead alloc/free
cycle that occurs during these lookups.
Use the kernfs node parent revision to identify if a change has been
made to the containing directory so that the negative dentry can be
discarded and the lookup redone.

Add a revision counter to kernfs directory nodes so it can be used
to detect if a directory node has changed during negative dentry
revalidation.
There's an assumption that sizeof(unsigned long) <= sizeof(pointer)
on all architectures and as far as I know that assumption holds.
So adding a revision counter to the struct kernfs_elem_dir variant of
the kernfs_node type union won't increase the size of the kernfs_node
struct. This is because struct kernfs_elem_dir is at least
sizeof(pointer) smaller than the largest union variant. It's tempting
to make the revision counter a u64 but that would increase the size of
kernfs_node on archs where sizeof(pointer) is smaller than the revision
counter.

Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A
filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user
namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for
additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to
translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all
relevant helpers in earlier patches.
As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of
introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly
mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

Each kernfs_node is identified with a 64bit ID. The low 32bit is
exposed as ino and the high gen. While this already allows using inos
as keys by looking up with wildcard generation number of 0, it's
adding unnecessary complications for 64bit ino archs which can
directly use kernfs_node IDs as inos to uniquely identify each cgroup
instance.
This patch exposes IDs directly as inos on 64bit ino archs. The
conversion is mostly straight-forward.
* 32bit ino archs behave the same as before. 64bit ino archs now use
the whole 64bit ID as ino and the generation number is fixed at 1.
* 64bit inos still use the same idr allocator which gurantees that the
lower 32bits identify the current live instance uniquely and the
high 32bits are incremented whenever the low bits wrap. As the
upper 32bits are no longer used as gen and we don't wanna start ino
allocation with 33rd bit set, the initial value for highbits
allocation is changed to 0 on 64bit ino archs.
* blktrace exposes two 32bit numbers - (INO,GEN) pair - to identify
the issuing cgroup. Userland builds FILEID_INO32_GEN fids from
these numbers to look up the cgroups. To remain compatible with the
behavior, always output (LOW32,HIGH32) which will be constructed
back to the original 64bit ID by __kernfs_fh_to_dentry().

kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino() looks the kernfs_node matching the
specified ino. On top of that, kernfs_get_node_by_id() and
kernfs_fh_get_inode() implement full ID matching by testing the rest
of ID.
On surface, confusingly, the two are slightly different in that the
latter uses 0 gen as wildcard while the former doesn't - does it mean
that the latter can't uniquely identify inodes w/ 0 gen? In practice,
this is a distinction without a difference because generation number
starts at 1. There are no actual IDs with 0 gen, so it can always
safely used as wildcard.

kernfs_node->id is currently a union kernfs_node_id which represents
either a 32bit (ino, gen) pair or u64 value. I can't see much value
in the usage of the union - all that's needed is a 64bit ID which the
current code is already limited to. Using a union makes the code
unnecessarily complicated and prevents using 64bit ino without adding
practical benefits.
This patch drops union kernfs_node_id and makes kernfs_node->id a u64.
ino is stored in the lower 32bits and gen upper. Accessors -
kernfs[_id]_ino() and kernfs[_id]_gen() - are added to retrieve the
ino and gen. This simplifies ID handling less cumbersome and will
allow using 64bit inos on supported archs.
This patch doesn't make any functional changes.
