<title>fs: call fsnotify_sb_delete after evict_inodes</title>

<content type='text'>
When a filesystem is unmounted, we currently call fsnotify_sb_delete()
before evict_inodes(), which means that fsnotify_unmount_inodes()
must iterate over all inodes on the superblock looking for any inodes
with watches.  This is inefficient and can lead to livelocks as it
iterates over many unwatched inodes.

At this point, SB_ACTIVE is gone and dropping refcount to zero kicks
the inode out out immediately, so anything processed by
fsnotify_sb_delete / fsnotify_unmount_inodes gets evicted in that loop.

After that, the call to evict_inodes will evict everything else with a
zero refcount.

This should speed things up overall, and avoid livelocks in
fsnotify_unmount_inodes().

<title>fs: avoid softlockups in s_inodes iterators</title>

<content type='text'>
Anything that walks all inodes on sb-&gt;s_inodes list without rescheduling
risks softlockups.

Previous efforts were made in 2 functions, see:

c27d82f fs/drop_caches.c: avoid softlockups in drop_pagecache_sb()
ac05fbb inode: don't softlockup when evicting inodes

but there hasn't been an audit of all walkers, so do that now.  This
also consistently moves the cond_resched() calls to the bottom of each
loop in cases where it already exists.

One loop remains: remove_dquot_ref(), because I'm not quite sure how
to deal with that one w/o taking the i_lock.

For all callers of fsnotify_{unlink,rmdir}(), we made sure that d_parent
and d_name are stable.  Therefore, fsnotify_{unlink,rmdir}() do not need
the safety measures in fsnotify_nameremove() to stabilize parent and name.
We can now simplify those hooks and get rid of fsnotify_nameremove().

not to call __fsnotify_parent(), we left out the optimization.

Note that in fnsotify_move() and fsnotify_link() we are guaranteed
that dentry-&gt;d_name won't change during the fsnotify() evaluation
(by having the parent directory locked exclusive), so we don't
need to fetch dentry-&gt;d_name.name in the callers.  In fsnotify_dirent()
the same stability of dentry-&gt;d_name is also true, but it's a bit
more convoluted - there is one callchain (devpts_pty_new() -&gt;
fsnotify_create() -&gt; fsnotify_dirent()) where the parent is _not_
locked, but on devpts -&gt;d_name of everything is unchanging; it
has neither explicit nor implicit renames.
