<title>Pass parent directory inode and expected name to -&gt;d_revalidate()</title>

-&gt;d_revalidate() often needs to access dentry parent and name; that has
to be done carefully, since the locking environment varies from caller
to caller.  We are not guaranteed that dentry in question will not be
moved right under us - not unless the filesystem is such that nothing
on it ever gets renamed.

It can be dealt with, but that results in boilerplate code that isn't
even needed - the callers normally have just found the dentry via dcache
lookup and want to verify that it's in the right place; they already
have the values of -&gt;d_parent and -&gt;d_name stable.  There is a couple
of exceptions (overlayfs and, to less extent, ecryptfs), but for the
majority of calls that song and dance is not needed at all.

It's easier to make ecryptfs and overlayfs find and pass those values if
there's a -&gt;d_revalidate() instance to be called, rather than doing that
in the instances.

This commit only changes the calling conventions; making use of supplied
values is left to followups.

NOTE: some instances need more than just the parent - things like CIFS
may need to build an entire path from filesystem root, so they need
more precautions than the usual boilerplate.  This series doesn't
do anything to that need - these filesystems have to keep their locking
mechanisms (rename_lock loops, use of dentry_path_raw(), private rwsem
a-la v9fs).

One thing to keep in mind when using name is that name-&gt;name will normally
point into the pathname being resolved; the filename in question occupies
name-&gt;len bytes starting at name-&gt;name, and there is NUL somewhere after it,
but it the next byte might very well be '/' rather than '\0'.  Do not
ignore name-&gt;len.

syszbot produced this with a corrupted fs image.  In theory, however an IO
error would trigger this also.

This affects just an error report, so should not be a serious error.

Pull vfs mount API updates from Christian Brauner:

 - Add a generic helper to parse uid and gid mount options.

   Currently we open-code the same logic in various filesystems which is
   error prone, especially since the verification of uid and gid mount
   options is a sensitive operation in the face of idmappings.

   Add a generic helper and convert all filesystems over to it. Make
   sure that filesystems that are mountable in unprivileged containers
   verify that the specified uid and gid can be represented in the
   owning namespace of the filesystem.

 - Convert hostfs to the new mount api.

vfat and msdos share a common set of options, with additional, unique
options for each filesystem.

Each filesystem calls common fc initialization and parsing routines,
with an "is_vfat" parameter. For parsing, if the option is not found
in the common parameter_spec, parsing is retried with the fs-specific
parameter_spec.

This patch leaves nls loading to fill_super, so the codepage and charset
options are not validated as they are requested. This matches current
behavior. It would be possible to test-load as each option is parsed,
but that would make i.e.

mount -o "iocharset=nope,iocharset=iso8859-1"

fail, where it does not fail today because only the last iocharset
option is considered.

The obsolete "conv=" option is set up with an enum of acceptable values;
currently invalid "conv=" options are rejected as such, even though the
option is obsolete, so this patch preserves that behavior.
