In a previous commit we switched from a d_alloc_name() + d_lookup()
combination to setup a new dentry and find potential duplicates to the more
idiomatic lookup_one_len(). As far as I understand, this also means we need
to switch from d_add() to d_instantiate() since lookup_one_len() will
create a new dentry when it doesn't find an existing one and add the new
dentry to the hash queues. So we only need to call d_instantiate() to
connect the dentry to the inode and turn it into a positive dentry.

If we were to use d_add() we sure see stack traces like the following
indicating that adding the same dentry twice over the same inode:

The binderfs_binder_ctl_create() call is a no-op on subsequent calls and
the first call is done before we unlock the suberblock. Hence, there is no
need to take inode_lock() in there. Let's remove it.

Al pointed out that first calling kill_litter_super() before cleaning up
info is more correct since destroying info doesn't depend on the state of
the dentries and inodes. That the opposite remains true is not guaranteed.

- switch from d_alloc_name() + d_lookup() to lookup_one_len():
  Instead of using d_alloc_name() and then doing a d_lookup() with the
  allocated dentry to find whether a device with the name we're trying to
  create already exists switch to using lookup_one_len().  The latter will
  either return the existing dentry or a new one.

- switch from kmalloc() + strscpy() to kmemdup():
  Use a more idiomatic way to copy the name for the new dentry that
  userspace gave us.

deactivate_locked_super() will call binderfs_kill_super() so all of the

and buggy. Let's simply return errors and let binderfs_fill_super() take
care of cleaning up on error.

<title>binderfs: prevent renaming the control dentry</title>

- make binderfs control dentry immutable:
  We don't allow to unlink it since it is crucial for binderfs to be
  useable but if we allow to rename it we make the unlink trivial to
  bypass. So prevent renaming too and simply treat the control dentry as
  immutable.

- add is_binderfs_control_device() helper:
  Take the opportunity and turn the check for the control dentry into a
  separate helper is_binderfs_control_device() since it's now used in two
  places.

- simplify binderfs_rename():
  Instead of hand-rolling our custom version of simple_rename() just dumb
  the whole function down to first check whether we're trying to rename the
  control dentry. If we do EPERM the caller and if not call simple_rename().

- make binderfs control dentry immutable:
  We don't allow to unlink it since it is crucial for binderfs to be
  useable but if we allow to rename it we make the unlink trivial to
  bypass. So prevent renaming too and simply treat the control dentry as
  immutable.

- add is_binderfs_control_device() helper:
  Take the opportunity and turn the check for the control dentry into a
  separate helper is_binderfs_control_device() since it's now used in two
  places.

  Instead of hand-rolling our custom version of simple_rename() just dumb
  the whole function down to first check whether we're trying to rename the
  control dentry. If we do EPERM the caller and if not call simple_rename().

The comment stems from an early version of that patchset and is just
confusing now.

Fix to return a negative error code -ENOMEM from the new_inode() and
d_make_root() error handling cases instead of 0, as done elsewhere in
this function.

kbuild reported a build faile in [1]. This is triggered when CONFIG_IPC_NS
is not set. So let's make the use of init_ipc_ns conditional on
CONFIG_IPC_NS being set.

The binderfs instance in the initial ipc namespace will always have a
reserve of 4 binder devices unless explicitly capped by specifying a lower
value via the "max" mount option.
This ensures when binder devices are removed (on accident or on purpose)
they can always be recreated without risking that all minor numbers have
already been used up.
