Commit e1181ee6 "vfs: pass struct file to do_truncate on O_TRUNC
opens" broke the behavior of open(O_TRUNC|O_RDONLY) in fuse.  Fuse
assumed that when called from open, a truncate() will be done, not an
ftruncate().

Fix by restoring the old behavior, based on the ATTR_OPEN flag.

Require filesystems be aware of .d_revalidate being called in rcu-walk
mode (nd-&gt;flags &amp; LOOKUP_RCU). For now do a simple push down, returning
-ECHILD from all implementations.

<title>fs: dcache reduce branches in lookup path</title>

Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry
flags to indicate common d_ops are set, rather than having to check them.
This saves a pointer memory access (dentry-&gt;d_op) in common path lookup
situations, and saves another pointer load and branch in cases where we
have d_op but not the particular operation.

Patched with:

git grep -E '[.&gt;]([[:space:]])*d_op([[:space:]])*=' | xargs sed -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)-&gt;d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\1, \2);/' -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)\.d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\&amp;\1, \2);/' -i

Terje Malmedal reports that a fuse filesystem with 32 million inodes
on a machine with lots of memory can go unresponsive for up to 30
minutes when all those inodes are evicted from the icache.

The reason is that FORGET messages, sent when the inode is evicted,
are queued up together with regular filesystem requests, and while the
huge queue of FORGET messages are processed no other filesystem
operation can proceed.

Since a full fuse request structure is allocated for each inode, these
take up quite a bit of memory as well.

To solve these issues, create a slim 'fuse_forget_link' structure
containing just the minimum of information required to send the FORGET
request and chain these on a separate queue.

When userspace is asking for a request make sure that FORGET and
non-FORGET requests are selected fairly: for each 8 non-FORGET allow
16 FORGET requests.  This will make sure FORGETs do not pile up, yet
other requests are also allowed to proceed while the queued FORGETs
are processed.

<title>check ATTR_SIZE contraints in inode_change_ok</title>

Make sure we check the truncate constraints early on in -&gt;setattr by adding
those checks to inode_change_ok.  Also clean up and document inode_change_ok
to make this obvious.

As a fallout we don't have to call inode_newsize_ok from simple_setsize and
simplify it down to a truncate_setsize which doesn't return an error.  This
simplifies a lot of setattr implementations and means we use truncate_setsize
almost everywhere.  Get rid of fat_setsize now that it's trivial and mark
ext2_setsize static to make the calling convention obvious.

Keep the inode_newsize_ok in vmtruncate for now as all callers need an
audit for its removal anyway.

Note: setattr code in ecryptfs doesn't call inode_change_ok at all and
needs a deeper audit, but that is left for later.
