Both ecryptfs_filldir() and ecryptfs_readlink_lower() use
ecryptfs_decode_and_decrypt_filename() to translate lower filenames to
upper filenames. The function correctly passes up lower filenames,
unchanged, when filename encryption isn't in use. However, it was also
passing up lower filenames when the filename wasn't encrypted or
when decryption failed. Since 88ae4ab9802e, eCryptfs refuses to lookup
lower plaintext names when filename encryption is enabled so this
resulted in a situation where userspace would see lower plaintext
filenames in calls to getdents(2) but then not be able to lookup those
filenames.

An example of this can be seen when enabling filename encryption on an
eCryptfs mount at the root directory of an Ext4 filesystem:

$ ls -1i /lower
12 ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FWYZD8TcW.5FV-TKTEYOHsheiHX9a-w.NURCCYIMjI8pn5BDB9-h3fXwrE--
11 lost+found
$ ls -1i /upper
ls: cannot access '/upper/lost+found': No such file or directory
 ? lost+found
12 test

With this change, the lower lost+found dentry is ignored:

$ ls -1i /lower
12 ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FWYZD8TcW.5FV-TKTEYOHsheiHX9a-w.NURCCYIMjI8pn5BDB9-h3fXwrE--
11 lost+found
$ ls -1i /upper
12 test

Additionally, some potentially noisy error/info messages in the related
code paths are turned into debug messages so that the logs can't be
easily filled.

Calling sprintf in a loop is not very efficient, and in any case, we
already have an implementation of bin-to-hex conversion in lib/ which
we might as well use.

Note that ecryptfs_to_hex used to nul-terminate the destination (and
the kernel doc was wrong about the required output size), while
bin2hex doesn't. [All but one user of ecryptfs_to_hex explicitly
nul-terminates the result anyway.]

<title>switch -&gt;setxattr() to passing dentry and inode separately</title>

smack -&gt;d_instantiate() uses -&gt;setxattr(), so to be able to call it before
we'd hashed the new dentry and attached it to inode, we need -&gt;setxattr()
instances getting the inode as an explicit argument rather than obtaining
it from dentry.

Similar change for -&gt;getxattr() had been done in commit ce23e64.  Unlike
-&gt;getxattr() (which is used by both selinux and smack instances of
-&gt;d_instantiate()) -&gt;setxattr() is used only by smack one and unfortunately
it got missed back then.

Pull parallel filesystem directory handling update from Al Viro.

This is the main parallel directory work by Al that makes the vfs layer
able to do lookup and readdir in parallel within a single directory.
That's a big change, since this used to be all protected by the
directory inode mutex.

The inode mutex is replaced by an rwsem, and serialization of lookups of
a single name is done by a "in-progress" dentry marker.

The series begins with xattr cleanups, and then ends with switching
filesystems over to actually doing the readdir in parallel (switching to
the "iterate_shared()" that only takes the read lock).

A more detailed explanation of the process from Al Viro:
 "The xattr work starts with some acl fixes, then switches -&gt;getxattr to
  passing inode and dentry separately.  This is the point where the
  things start to get tricky - that got merged into the very beginning
  of the -rc3-based #work.lookups, to allow untangling the
  security_d_instantiate() mess.  The xattr work itself proceeds to
  switch a lot of filesystems to generic_...xattr(); no complications
  there.

  After that initial xattr work, the series then does the following:

   - untangle security_d_instantiate()

   - convert a bunch of open-coded lookup_one_len_unlocked() to calls of
     that thing; one such place (in overlayfs) actually yields a trivial
     conflict with overlayfs fixes later in the cycle - overlayfs ended
     up switching to a variant of lookup_one_len_unlocked() sans the
     permission checks.  I would've dropped that commit (it gets
     overridden on merge from #ovl-fixes in #for-next; proper resolution
     is to use the variant in mainline fs/overlayfs/super.c), but I
     didn't want to rebase the damn thing - it was fairly late in the
     cycle...

   - some filesystems had managed to depend on lookup/lookup exclusion
     for *fs-internal* data structures in a way that would break if we
     relaxed the VFS exclusion.  Fixing hadn't been hard, fortunately.

   - core of that series - parallel lookup machinery, replacing
     -&gt;i_mutex with rwsem, making lookup_slow() take it only shared.  At
     that point lookups happen in parallel; lookups on the same name
     wait for the in-progress one to be done with that dentry.

     Surprisingly little code, at that - almost all of it is in
     fs/dcache.c, with fs/namei.c changes limited to lookup_slow() -
     making it use the new primitive and actually switching to locking
     shared.

   - parallel readdir stuff - first of all, we provide the exclusion on
     per-struct file basis, same as we do for read() vs lseek() for
     regular files.  That takes care of most of the needed exclusion in
     readdir/readdir; however, these guys are trickier than lookups, so
     I went for switching them one-by-one.  To do that, a new method
     '-&gt;iterate_shared()' is added and filesystems are switched to it
     as they are either confirmed to be OK with shared lock on directory
     or fixed to be OK with that.  I hope to kill the original method
     come next cycle (almost all in-tree filesystems are switched
     already), but it's still not quite finished.

   - several filesystems get switched to parallel readdir.  The
     interesting part here is dealing with dcache preseeding by readdir;
     that needs minor adjustment to be safe with directory locked only
     shared.

     Most of the filesystems doing that got switched to in those
     commits.  Important exception: NFS.  Turns out that NFS folks, with
     their, er, insistence on VFS getting the fuck out of the way of the
     Smart Filesystem Code That Knows How And What To Lock(tm) have
     grown the locking of their own.  They had their own homegrown
     rwsem, with lookup/readdir/atomic_open being *writers* (sillyunlink
     is the reader there).  Of course, with VFS getting the fuck out of
     the way, as requested, the actual smarts of the smart filesystem
     code etc. had become exposed...

   - do_last/lookup_open/atomic_open cleanups.  As the result, open()
     without O_CREAT locks the directory only shared.  Including the
     -&gt;atomic_open() case.  Backmerge from #for-linus in the middle of
     that - atomic_open() fix got brought in.

   - then comes NFS switch to saner (VFS-based ;-) locking, killing the
     homegrown "lookup and readdir are writers" kinda-sorta rwsem.  All
     exclusion for sillyunlink/lookup is done by the parallel lookups
     mechanism.  Exclusion between sillyunlink and rmdir is a real rwsem
     now - rmdir being the writer.

     Result: NFS lookups/readdirs/O_CREAT-less opens happen in parallel
     now.

   - the rest of the series consists of switching a lot of filesystems
     to parallel readdir; in a lot of cases -&gt;llseek() gets simplified
     as well.  One backmerge in there (again, #for-linus - rockridge
     fix)"

     Surprisingly little code, at that - almost all of it is in
     fs/dcache.c, with fs/namei.c changes limited to lookup_slow() -
     making it use the new primitive and actually switching to locking
     shared.

   - parallel readdir stuff - first of all, we provide the exclusion on
     per-struct file basis, same as we do for read() vs lseek() for
     regular files.  That takes care of most of the needed exclusion in
     readdir/readdir; however, these guys are trickier than lookups, so
     I went for switching them one-by-one.  To do that, a new method
     '-&gt;iterate_shared()' is added and filesystems are switched to it
     as they are either confirmed to be OK with shared lock on directory
     or fixed to be OK with that.  I hope to kill the original method
     come next cycle (almost all in-tree filesystems are switched
     already), but it's still not quite finished.

   - several filesystems get switched to parallel readdir.  The
     interesting part here is dealing with dcache preseeding by readdir;
     that needs minor adjustment to be safe with directory locked only
     shared.

     Most of the filesystems doing that got switched to in those
     commits.  Important exception: NFS.  Turns out that NFS folks, with
     their, er, insistence on VFS getting the fuck out of the way of the
     Smart Filesystem Code That Knows How And What To Lock(tm) have
     grown the locking of their own.  They had their own homegrown
     rwsem, with lookup/readdir/atomic_open being *writers* (sillyunlink
     is the reader there).  Of course, with VFS getting the fuck out of
     the way, as requested, the actual smarts of the smart filesystem
     code etc. had become exposed...

   - do_last/lookup_open/atomic_open cleanups.  As the result, open()
     without O_CREAT locks the directory only shared.  Including the
     -&gt;atomic_open() case.  Backmerge from #for-linus in the middle of
     that - atomic_open() fix got brought in.

   - then comes NFS switch to saner (VFS-based ;-) locking, killing the
     homegrown "lookup and readdir are writers" kinda-sorta rwsem.  All
     exclusion for sillyunlink/lookup is done by the parallel lookups
     mechanism.  Exclusion between sillyunlink and rmdir is a real rwsem
     now - rmdir being the writer.

     Result: NFS lookups/readdirs/O_CREAT-less opens happen in parallel
     now.

   - the rest of the series consists of switching a lot of filesystems
     to parallel readdir; in a lot of cases -&gt;llseek() gets simplified
     as well.  One backmerge in there (again, #for-linus - rockridge
     fix)"
