Make afs_permission() and afs_d_revalidate() do initial checks in RCU-mode
pathwalk to reduce latency in pathwalk elements that get done multiple
times.  We don't need to query the server unless we've received a
notification from it that something has changed or the callback has
expired.

This requires that we can request a key and check permits under RCU
conditions if we need to.

Provide an RCU-capable key lookup function.  We don't want to call
afs_request_key() in RCU-mode pathwalk as request_key() might sleep, even if
we don't ask it to construct anything as it might find a key that is currently
undergoing construction.

The root cause of all the breakage is likely the same, but David Howells

order to not impact the rest of the merge window.

Pull keyring ACL support from David Howells:
 "This changes the permissions model used by keys and keyrings to be
  based on an internal ACL by the following means:

   - Replace the permissions mask internally with an ACL that contains a
     list of ACEs, each with a specific subject with a permissions mask.
     Potted default ACLs are available for new keys and keyrings.

     ACE subjects can be macroised to indicate the UID and GID specified
     on the key (which remain). Future commits will be able to add
     additional subject types, such as specific UIDs or domain
     tags/namespaces.

     Also split a number of permissions to give finer control. Examples
     include splitting the revocation permit from the change-attributes
     permit, thereby allowing someone to be granted permission to revoke
     a key without allowing them to change the owner; also the ability
     to join a keyring is split from the ability to link to it, thereby
     stopping a process accessing a keyring by joining it and thus
     acquiring use of possessor permits.

   - Provide a keyctl to allow the granting or denial of one or more
     permits to a specific subject. Direct access to the ACL is not
     granted, and the ACL cannot be viewed"

Replace the uid/gid/perm permissions checking on a key with an ACL to allow
the SETATTR and SEARCH permissions to be split.  This will also allow a
greater range of subjects to represented.

============
WHY DO THIS?
============

The problem is that SETATTR and SEARCH cover a slew of actions, not all of
which should be grouped together.

For SETATTR, this includes actions that are about controlling access to a
key:

 (1) Changing a key's ownership.

 (2) Changing a key's security information.

 (3) Setting a keyring's restriction.

And actions that are about managing a key's lifetime:

 (4) Setting an expiry time.

 (5) Revoking a key.

and (proposed) managing a key as part of a cache:

 (6) Invalidating a key.

Managing a key's lifetime doesn't really have anything to do with
controlling access to that key.

Expiry time is awkward since it's more about the lifetime of the content
and so, in some ways goes better with WRITE permission.  It can, however,
be set unconditionally by a process with an appropriate authorisation token
for instantiating a key, and can also be set by the key type driver when a
key is instantiated, so lumping it with the access-controlling actions is
probably okay.

As for SEARCH permission, that currently covers:

 (1) Finding keys in a keyring tree during a search.

 (2) Permitting keyrings to be joined.

 (3) Invalidation.

But these don't really belong together either, since these actions really
need to be controlled separately.

Finally, there are number of special cases to do with granting the
administrator special rights to invalidate or clear keys that I would like
to handle with the ACL rather than key flags and special checks.


===============
WHAT IS CHANGED
===============

The SETATTR permission is split to create two new permissions:

 (1) SET_SECURITY - which allows the key's owner, group and ACL to be
     changed and a restriction to be placed on a keyring.

 (2) REVOKE - which allows a key to be revoked.

The SEARCH permission is split to create:

 (1) SEARCH - which allows a keyring to be search and a key to be found.

 (2) JOIN - which allows a keyring to be joined as a session keyring.

 (3) INVAL - which allows a key to be invalidated.

The WRITE permission is also split to create:

 (1) WRITE - which allows a key's content to be altered and links to be
     added, removed and replaced in a keyring.

 (2) CLEAR - which allows a keyring to be cleared completely.  This is
     split out to make it possible to give just this to an administrator.

 (3) REVOKE - see above.


Keys acquire ACLs which consist of a series of ACEs, and all that apply are
unioned together.  An ACE specifies a subject, such as:

 (*) Possessor - permitted to anyone who 'possesses' a key
 (*) Owner - permitted to the key owner
 (*) Group - permitted to the key group
 (*) Everyone - permitted to everyone

Note that 'Other' has been replaced with 'Everyone' on the assumption that
you wouldn't grant a permit to 'Other' that you wouldn't also grant to
everyone else.

Further subjects may be made available by later patches.

The ACE also specifies a permissions mask.  The set of permissions is now:

	VIEW		Can view the key metadata
	READ		Can read the key content
	WRITE		Can update/modify the key content
	SEARCH		Can find the key by searching/requesting
	LINK		Can make a link to the key
	SET_SECURITY	Can change owner, ACL, expiry
	INVAL		Can invalidate
	REVOKE		Can revoke
	JOIN		Can join this keyring
	CLEAR		Can clear this keyring


The KEYCTL_SETPERM function is then deprecated.

The KEYCTL_SET_TIMEOUT function then is permitted if SET_SECURITY is set,
or if the caller has a valid instantiation auth token.

The KEYCTL_INVALIDATE function then requires INVAL.

The KEYCTL_REVOKE function then requires REVOKE.

The KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING function then requires JOIN to join an
existing keyring.

The JOIN permission is enabled by default for session keyrings and manually
created keyrings only.


======================
BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY
======================

To maintain backward compatibility, KEYCTL_SETPERM will translate the
permissions mask it is given into a new ACL for a key - unless
KEYCTL_SET_ACL has been called on that key, in which case an error will be
returned.

It will convert possessor, owner, group and other permissions into separate
ACEs, if each portion of the mask is non-zero.

SETATTR permission turns on all of INVAL, REVOKE and SET_SECURITY.  WRITE
permission turns on WRITE, REVOKE and, if a keyring, CLEAR.  JOIN is turned
on if a keyring is being altered.

The KEYCTL_DESCRIBE function translates the ACL back into a permissions
mask to return depending on possessor, owner, group and everyone ACEs.

It will make the following mappings:

 (1) INVAL, JOIN -&gt; SEARCH

 (2) SET_SECURITY -&gt; SETATTR

 (3) REVOKE -&gt; WRITE if SETATTR isn't already set

 (4) CLEAR -&gt; WRITE

Note that the value subsequently returned by KEYCTL_DESCRIBE may not match
the value set with KEYCTL_SETATTR.


=======
TESTING
=======

This passes the keyutils testsuite for all but a couple of tests:

 (1) tests/keyctl/dh_compute/badargs: The first wrong-key-type test now
     returns EOPNOTSUPP rather than ENOKEY as READ permission isn't removed
     if the type doesn't have -&gt;read().  You still can't actually read the
     key.

 (2) tests/keyctl/permitting/valid: The view-other-permissions test doesn't
     work as Other has been replaced with Everyone in the ACL.

Use RCU-based freeing for afs_cb_interest struct objects and use RCU on

read_seqbegin_or_lock() instead of read_seqlock_excl().

This also requires the caller of afs_check_validity() to hold the RCU read

read_seqbegin_or_lock() instead of read_seqlock_excl().

This also requires the caller of afs_check_validity() to hold the RCU read
lock across the call.

When applying the status and callback in the response of an operation,
apply them in the same critical section so that there's no race between
checking the callback state and checking status-dependent state (such as
the data version).

Fix this by:

 (1) Allocating a joint {status,callback} record (afs_status_cb) before
     calling the RPC function for each vnode for which the RPC reply
     contains a status or a status plus a callback.  A flag is set in the
     record to indicate if a callback was actually received.

 (2) These records are passed into the RPC functions to be filled in.  The
     afs_decode_status() and yfs_decode_status() functions are removed and
     the cb_lock is no longer taken.

 (3) xdr_decode_AFSFetchStatus() and xdr_decode_YFSFetchStatus() no longer
     update the vnode.

 (4) xdr_decode_AFSCallBack() and xdr_decode_YFSCallBack() no longer update
     the vnode.

 (5) vnodes, expected data-version numbers and callback break counters
     (cb_break) no longer need to be passed to the reply delivery
     functions.

     Note that, for the moment, the file locking functions still need
     access to both the call and the vnode at the same time.

 (6) afs_vnode_commit_status() is now given the cb_break value and the
     expected data_version and the task of applying the status and the
     callback to the vnode are now done here.

     This is done under a single taking of vnode-&gt;cb_lock.

 (7) afs_pages_written_back() is now called by afs_store_data() rather than
     by the reply delivery function.

     afs_pages_written_back() has been moved to before the call point and
     is now given the first and last page numbers rather than a pointer to
     the call.

 (8) The indicator from YFS.RemoveFile2 as to whether the target file
     actually got removed (status.abort_code == VNOVNODE) rather than
     merely dropping a link is now checked in afs_unlink rather than in
     xdr_decode_YFSFetchStatus().

Supplementary fixes:

 (*) afs_cache_permit() now gets the caller_access mask from the
     afs_status_cb object rather than picking it out of the vnode's status
     record.  afs_fetch_status() returns caller_access through its argument
     list for this purpose also.

 (*) afs_inode_init_from_status() now uses a write lock on cb_lock rather
     than a read lock and now sets the callback inside the same critical
     section.

When __afs_break_callback() clears the CB_PROMISED flag, it increments
vnode-&gt;cb_break to trigger a future refetch of the status and callback -
however it also calls afs_clear_permits(), which also increments
vnode-&gt;cb_break.

Fix this by removing the increment from afs_clear_permits().

Whilst we're at it, fix the conditional call to afs_put_permits() as the
function checks to see if the argument is NULL, so the check is redundant.

In some circumstances, the callback interest pointer is NULL, so in such a
case we can't dereference it when checking to see if the callback is
broken.  This causes an oops in some circumstances.

Fix this by replacing the function that worked out the aggregate break
counter with one that actually does the comparison, and then make that
return true (ie. broken) if there is no callback interest as yet (ie. the
pointer is NULL).
