Alter the dynroot mount so that cells created by manipulation of
/proc/fs/afs/cells and /proc/fs/afs/rootcell and by specification of a root
cell as a module parameter will cause directories for those cells to be
created in the dynamic root superblock for the network namespace[*].

To this end:

 (1) Only one dynamic root superblock is now created per network namespace
     and this is shared between all attempts to mount it.  This makes it
     easier to find the superblock to modify.

 (2) When a dynamic root superblock is created, the list of cells is walked
     and directories created for each cell already defined.

 (3) When a new cell is added, if a dynamic root superblock exists, a
     directory is created for it.

 (4) When a cell is destroyed, the directory is removed.

 (5) These directories are created by calling lookup_one_len() on the root
     dir which automatically creates them if they don't exist.

[*] Inasmuch as network namespaces are currently supported here.

<title>treewide: kmalloc() -&gt; kmalloc_array()</title>

The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This
patch replaces cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b, gfp)

with:
        kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp)

as well as handling cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

with:

        kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

        kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own
implementation of kmalloc().

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

 "This is the last couple of vfs bits to enable root in a user namespace

  virtual filesystem like proc, but a filesystem where the unprivileged

  fuse, and Miklos should be sending you the pull request for the fuse

  The two key patches are "evm: Don't update hmacs in user ns mounts"
  and "vfs: Don't allow changing the link count of an inode with an
  invalid uid or gid". Those close small gaps in the vfs that would be a
  problem if an unprivileged fuse filesystem is mounted.

  The rest of the changes are things that are now safe to allow a root
  user in a user namespace to do with a filesystem they have mounted.
  The most interesting development is that remount is now safe"

This reverts commit cab64df194667dc5d9d786f0a895f647f5501c0d.

Having vfs_open() in some cases drop the reference to
struct file combined with

	error = vfs_open(path, f, cred);
	if (error) {
		put_filp(f);
		return ERR_PTR(error);
	}
	return f;

is flat-out wrong.  It used to be

		error = vfs_open(path, f, cred);
		if (!error) {
			/* from now on we need fput() to dispose of f */
			error = open_check_o_direct(f);
			if (error) {
				fput(f);
				f = ERR_PTR(error);
			}
		} else {
			put_filp(f);
			f = ERR_PTR(error);
		}

and sure, having that open_check_o_direct() boilerplate gotten rid of is
nice, but not that way...

Worse, another call chain (via finish_open()) is FUBAR now wrt
FILE_OPENED handling - in that case we get error returned, with file
already hit by fput() *AND* FILE_OPENED not set.  Guess what happens in
path_openat(), when it hits

	if (!(opened &amp; FILE_OPENED)) {
		BUG_ON(!error);
		put_filp(file);
	}

The root cause of all that crap is that the callers of do_dentry_open()
have no way to tell which way did it fail; while that could be fixed up
(by passing something like int *opened to do_dentry_open() and have it
marked if we'd called -&gt;open()), it's probably much too late in the
cycle to do so right now.

Once upon a time -&gt;rmdir() instances used to check if victim inode
had more than one (in-core) reference and failed with -EBUSY if it
had.  The reason was race avoidance - emptiness check is worthless
if somebody could just go and create new objects in the victim
directory afterwards.

With introduction of dcache the checks had been replaced with
checking the refcount of dentry.  However, since a cached negative
lookup leaves a negative child dentry, such check had lead to false
positives - with empty foo/ doing stat foo/bar before rmdir foo
ended up with -EBUSY unless the negative dentry of foo/bar happened
to be evicted by the time of rmdir(2).  That had been fixed by
doing shrink_dcache_parent() just before the refcount check.

At the same time, ext2_rmdir() has grown a private solution that
eliminated those -EBUSY - it did something (setting -&gt;i_size to 0)
which made any subsequent ext2_add_entry() fail.

Unfortunately, even with shrink_dcache_parent() the check had been
racy - after all, the victim itself could be found by dcache lookup
just after we'd checked its refcount.  That got fixed by a new
helper (dentry_unhash()) that did shrink_dcache_parent() and unhashed
the sucker if its refcount ended up equal to 1.  That got called before
-&gt;rmdir(), turning the checks in -&gt;rmdir() instances into "if not
unhashed fail with -EBUSY".  Which reduced the boilerplate nicely, but
had an unpleasant side effect - now shrink_dcache_parent() had been
done before the emptiness checks, leading to easily triggerable calls
of shrink_dcache_parent() on arbitrary large subtrees, quite possibly
nested into each other.

Several years later the ext2-private trick had been generalized -
(in-core) inodes of dead directories are flagged and calls of
lookup, readdir and all directory-modifying methods were prevented
in so marked directories.  Remaining boilerplate in -&gt;rmdir() instances
became redundant and some instances got rid of it.

In 2011 the call of dentry_unhash() got shifted into -&gt;rmdir() instances
and then killed off in all of them.  That has lead to another problem,
though - in case of successful rmdir we *want* any (negative) child
dentries dropped and the victim itself made negative.  There's no point
keeping cached negative lookups in foo when we can get the negative
lookup of foo itself cached.  So shrink_dcache_parent() call had been
restored; unfortunately, it went into the place where dentry_unhash()
used to be, i.e. before the -&gt;rmdir() call.  Note that we don't unhash
anymore, so any "is it busy" checks would be racy; fortunately, all of
them are gone.

We should've done that call right *after* successful -&gt;rmdir().  That
reduces contention caused by tree-walking in shrink_dcache_parent()
and, especially, contention caused by evictions in two nested subtrees
going on in parallel.  The same goes for directory-overwriting rename() -
the story there had been parallel to that of rmdir().

These filesystems already always set SB_I_NODEV so mknod will not be
useful for gaining control of any devices no matter their permissions.
This will allow overlayfs and applications like to fakeroot to use
device nodes to represent things on disk.

Changing the link count of an inode via unlink or link will cause a
write back of that inode.  If the uids or gids are invalid (aka not known
to the kernel) writing the inode back may change the uid or gid in the
filesystem.   To prevent possible filesystem and to avoid the need for
filesystem maintainers to worry about it don't allow operations on
inodes with an invalid uid or gid.
