Pull AFS updates from David Howells:
 "There's some core VFS changes which affect a couple of filesystems:

   - Make the inode hash table RCU safe and providing some RCU-safe
     accessor functions. The search can then be done without taking the
     inode_hash_lock. Care must be taken because the object may be being
     deleted and no wait is made.

   - Allow iunique() to avoid taking the inode_hash_lock.

   - Allow AFS's callback processing to avoid taking the inode_hash_lock
     when using the inode table to find an inode to notify.

   - Improve Ext4's time updating. Konstantin Khlebnikov said "For now,
     I've plugged this issue with try-lock in ext4 lazy time update.
     This solution is much better."

  Then there's a set of changes to make a number of improvements to the
  AFS driver:

   - Improve callback (ie. third party change notification) processing
     by:

      (a) Relying more on the fact we're doing this under RCU and by
          using fewer locks. This makes use of the RCU-based inode
          searching outlined above.

      (b) Moving to keeping volumes in a tree indexed by volume ID
          rather than a flat list.

      (c) Making the server and volume records logically part of the
          cell. This means that a server record now points directly at
          the cell and the tree of volumes is there. This removes an N:M
          mapping table, simplifying things.

   - Improve keeping NAT or firewall channels open for the server
     callbacks to reach the client by actively polling the fileserver on
     a timed basis, instead of only doing it when we have an operation
     to process.

   - Improving detection of delayed or lost callbacks by including the
     parent directory in the list of file IDs to be queried when doing a
     bulk status fetch from lookup. We can then check to see if our copy
     of the directory has changed under us without us getting notified.

   - Determine aliasing of cells (such as a cell that is pointed to be a
     DNS alias). This allows us to avoid having ambiguity due to
     apparently different cells using the same volume and file servers.

   - Improve the fileserver rotation to do more probing when it detects
     that all of the addresses to a server are listed as non-responsive.
     It's possible that an address that previously stopped responding
     has become responsive again.

  Beyond that, lay some foundations for making some calls asynchronous:

   - Turn the fileserver cursor struct into a general operation struct
     and hang the parameters off of that rather than keeping them in
     local variables and hang results off of that rather than the call
     struct.

   - Implement some general operation handling code and simplify the
     callers of operations that affect a volume or a volume component
     (such as a file). Most of the operation is now done by core code.

   - Operations are supplied with a table of operations to issue
     different variants of RPCs and to manage the completion, where all
     the required data is held in the operation object, thereby allowing
     these to be called from a workqueue.

   - Put the standard "if (begin), while(select), call op, end" sequence
     into a canned function that just emulates the current behaviour for
     now.

  There are also some fixes interspersed:

   - Don't let the EACCES from ICMP6 mapping reach the user as such,
     since it's confusing as to whether it's a filesystem error. Convert
     it to EHOSTUNREACH.

   - Don't use the epoch value acquired through probing a server. If we
     have two servers with the same UUID but in different cells, it's
     hard to draw conclusions from them having different epoch values.

   - Don't interpret the argument to the CB.ProbeUuid RPC as a
     fileserver UUID and look up a fileserver from it.

   - Deal with servers in different cells having the same UUIDs. In the
     event that a CB.InitCallBackState3 RPC is received, we have to
     break the callback promises for every server record matching that
     UUID.

   - Don't let afs_statfs return values that go below 0.

   - Don't use running fileserver probe state to make server selection
     and address selection decisions on. Only make decisions on final
     state as the running state is cleared at the start of probing"

<title>vfs, afs, ext4: Make the inode hash table RCU searchable</title>

<id>3f19b2ab97a97b413c24b66c67ae16daa4f56c35</id>
<content type='text'>
Make the inode hash table RCU searchable so that searches that want to
access or modify an inode without taking a ref on that inode can do so
without taking the inode hash table lock.

The main thing this requires is some RCU annotation on the list
manipulation operations.  Inodes are already freed by RCU in most cases.

Users of this interface must take care as the inode may be still under
construction or may be being torn down around them.

There are at least three instances where this can be of use:

 (1) Testing whether the inode number iunique() is going to return is
     currently unique (the iunique_lock is still held).

 (2) Ext4 date stamp updating.

 (3) AFS callback breaking.

Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which
is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and
from  userspace in common code.  This also means that the strings are
always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit
safer.

As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers
a lot of the changes are mechnical.

Use *foo makes the toolchain to think that this is an emphasis, causing
those warnings:

	./fs/inode.c:1609: WARNING: Inline emphasis start-string without end-string.
	./fs/inode.c:1609: WARNING: Inline emphasis start-string without end-string.
	./fs/inode.c:1615: WARNING: Inline emphasis start-string without end-string.

So, use, instead, ``*foo``, in order to mark it as a literal block.

As reported by Jann, ihold() does not in fact guarantee inode
persistence. And instead of making it so, replace the usage of inode
pointers with a per boot, machine wide, unique inode identifier.

This sequence number is global, but shared (file backed) futexes are
rare enough that this should not become a performance issue.

Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:

 - bmap series from cmaiolino

 - getting rid of convolutions in copy_mount_options() (use a couple of
   copy_from_user() instead of the __get_user() crap)

* 'work.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  saner copy_mount_options()
  fibmap: Reject negative block numbers
  fibmap: Use bmap instead of -&gt;bmap method in ioctl_fibmap
  ecryptfs: drop direct calls to -&gt;bmap
  cachefiles: drop direct usage of -&gt;bmap method.
  fs: Enable bmap() function to properly return errors

By now, bmap() will either return the physical block number related to
the requested file offset or 0 in case of error or the requested offset
maps into a hole.
This patch makes the needed changes to enable bmap() to proper return
errors, using the return value as an error return, and now, a pointer
must be passed to bmap() to be filled with the mapped physical block.

It will change the behavior of bmap() on return:

- negative value in case of error
- zero on success or map fell into a hole

In case of a hole, the *block will be zero too

Since this is a prep patch, by now, the only error return is -EINVAL if
-&gt;bmap doesn't exist.

<title>fscrypt: don't allow v1 policies with casefolding</title>

Casefolded encrypted directories will use a new dirhash method that
requires a secret key.  If the directory uses a v2 encryption policy,
it's easy to derive this key from the master key using HKDF.  However,
v1 encryption policies don't provide a way to derive additional keys.

Therefore, don't allow casefolding on directories that use a v1 policy.
Specifically, make it so that trying to enable casefolding on a
directory that has a v1 policy fails, trying to set a v1 policy on a
casefolded directory fails, and trying to open a casefolded directory
that has a v1 policy (if one somehow exists on-disk) fails.
