Pull vfs fixes from Al Viro:
 "Tmpfs readdir throughput regression fix (this cycle) + some -stable
  fodder all over the place.

  One missing bit is Miklos' tonight locks.c fix - NFS folks had already
  grabbed that one by the time I woke up ;-)"

[ The locks.c fix came through the nfsd tree just moments ago ]

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  namespace: update event counter when umounting a deleted dentry
  9p: use file_dentry()
  ceph: fix d_obtain_alias() misuses
  lockless next_positive()
  libfs.c: new helper - next_positive()
  dcache_{readdir,dir_lseek}(): don't bother with nested -&gt;d_lock

- m_start() in fs/namespace.c expects that ns-&gt;event is incremented each
  time a mount added or removed from ns-&gt;list.
- umount_tree() removes items from the list but does not increment event
  counter, expecting that it's done before the function is called.
- There are some codepaths that call umount_tree() without updating
  "event" counter. e.g. from __detach_mounts().
- When this happens m_start may reuse a cached mount structure that no
  longer belongs to ns-&gt;list (i.e. use after free which usually leads
  to infinite loop).

This change fixes the above problem by incrementing global event counter
before invoking umount_tree().

<title>mnt: Account for MS_RDONLY in fs_fully_visible</title>

In rare cases it is possible for s_flags &amp; MS_RDONLY to be set but
MNT_READONLY to be clear.  This starting combination can cause
fs_fully_visible to fail to ensure that the new mount is readonly.
Therefore force MNT_LOCK_READONLY in the new mount if MS_RDONLY
is set on the source filesystem of the mount.

In general both MS_RDONLY and MNT_READONLY are set at the same for
mounts so I don't expect any programs to care.  Nor do I expect
MS_RDONLY to be set on proc or sysfs in the initial user namespace,
which further decreases the likelyhood of problems.

Which means this change should only affect system configurations by
paranoid sysadmins who should welcome the additional protection
as it keeps people from wriggling out of their policies.

MNT_LOCKED implies on a child mount implies the child is locked to the
parent.  So while looping through the children the children should be
tested (not their parent).

Typically an unshare of a mount namespace locks all mounts together
making both the parent and the slave as locked but there are a few
corner cases where other things work.

Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "All kinds of stuff.  That probably should've been 5 or 6 separate
  branches, but by the time I'd realized how large and mixed that bag
  had become it had been too close to -final to play with rebasing.

  Some fs/namei.c cleanups there, memdup_user_nul() introduction and
  switching open-coded instances, burying long-dead code, whack-a-mole
  of various kinds, several new helpers for -&gt;llseek(), assorted
  cleanups and fixes from various people, etc.

  One piece probably deserves special mention - Neil's
  lookup_one_len_unlocked().  Similar to lookup_one_len(), but gets
  called without -&gt;i_mutex and tries to avoid ever taking it.  That, of
  course, means that it's not useful for any directory modifications,
  but things like getting inode attributes in nfds readdirplus are fine
  with that.  I really should've asked for moratorium on lookup-related
  changes this cycle, but since I hadn't done that early enough...  I
  *am* asking for that for the coming cycle, though - I'm going to try
  and get conversion of i_mutex to rwsem with -&gt;lookup() done under lock
  taken shared.

  There will be a patch closer to the end of the window, along the lines
  of the one Linus had posted last May - mechanical conversion of
  -&gt;i_mutex accesses to inode_lock()/inode_unlock()/inode_trylock()/
  inode_is_locked()/inode_lock_nested().  To quote Linus back then:

    |
    |    with a very few manual fixups

  I'm going to send that once the -&gt;i_mutex-affecting stuff in -next
  gets mostly merged (or when Linus says he's about to stop taking
  merges)"
