Repeating creation and deletion of a file on an afs mount will run the box
out of memory, e.g.:

	dd if=/dev/zero of=/afs/scratch/m0 bs=$((1024*1024)) count=512
	rm /afs/scratch/m0

The problem seems to be that it's not properly decrementing the nlink count
so that the inode can be scrapped.

Note that this doesn't fix local creation followed by remote deletion.
That's harder to handle and will require a separate patch as we're not told
that the file has been deleted - only that the directory has changed.

Smatch warns that:

    fs/afs/rxrpc.c:922 afs_extract_data()
    error: uninitialized symbol 'remote_abort'.

Smatch is right that "remote_abort" might be uninitialized when we pass
it to afs_set_call_complete().  I don't know if that function uses the
uninitialized variable.  Anyway, the comment for rxrpc_kernel_recv_data(),
says that "*_abort should also be initialised to 0." and this patch does
that.

When an AFS inode is allocated by afs_alloc_inode(), the allocated
afs_vnode struct isn't necessarily reset from the last time it was used as
an inode because the slab constructor is only invoked once when the memory
is obtained from the page allocator.

This means that information can leak from one inode to the next because
we're not calling kmem_cache_zalloc().  Some of the information isn't
reset, in particular the permit cache pointer.

Bring the clearances up to date.

<id>1bcab12521d9b23dbaa22ac71184778dcc43e2f6</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix four refcount bugs in afs_cache_permit():

 (1) When checking the result of the kzalloc(), we can't just return, but
     must put 'permits'.

 (2) We shouldn't put permits immediately after hashing a new permit as we
     need to keep the pointer stable so that we can check to see if
     vnode-&gt;permit_cache has changed before we decide whether to assign to
     it.

 (3) 'permits' is being put twice.

 (4) We need to put either the replacement or the thing replaced after the
     assignment to vnode-&gt;permit_cache.

Without this, lots of the following are seen:

  Kernel BUG at ffffffffa039857b [verbose debug info unavailable]
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  Kernel BUG at ffffffffa039858a [verbose debug info unavailable]
  ------------[ cut here ]------------

The addresses are in the .text..refcount section of the kafs.ko module.
Following the relocation records for the __ex_table section shows one to be
due to the decrement in afs_put_permits() and the other to be key_get() in
afs_cache_permit().

Occasionally, the following is seen:

  refcount_t overflow at afs_cache_permit+0x57d/0x5c0 [kafs] in cc1[562], uid/euid: 0/0
  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 562 at kernel/panic.c:657 refcount_error_report+0x9c/0xac

<title>Rename superblock flags (MS_xyz -&gt; SB_xyz)</title>

This is a pure automated search-and-replace of the internal kernel
superblock flags.

The s_flags are now called SB_*, with the names and the values for the
moment mirroring the MS_* flags that they're equivalent to.

Note how the MS_xyz flags are the ones passed to the mount system call,
while the SB_xyz flags are what we then use in sb-&gt;s_flags.

The script to do this was:

    # places to look in; re security/*: it generally should *not* be
    # touched (that stuff parses mount(2) arguments directly), but
    # there are two places where we really deal with superblock flags.

Fix some of dentry handling in AFS directory ops:

 (1) Do d_drop() on the new_dentry before assigning a new inode to it in
     afs_vnode_new_inode().  It's fine to do this before calling afs_iget()
     because the operation has taken place on the server.

 (2) Replace d_instantiate()/d_rehash() with d_add().

 (3) Don't d_drop() the new_dentry in afs_rename() on error.

Also fix afs_link() and afs_rename() to call key_put() on all error paths
where the key is taken.
