strcpy() will recalculate string length second time which is
unnecessary in this case.

ida_alloc() and ida_free() should be preferred to the deprecated
ida_simple_get() and ida_simple_remove().

Note that the upper limit of ida_simple_get() is exclusive, but the one of
ida_alloc_max() is inclusive. So a -1 has been added when needed.

<title>fs: pass the request_mask to generic_fillattr</title>

generic_fillattr just fills in the entire stat struct indiscriminately
today, copying data from the inode. There is at least one attribute
(STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE) that can have side effects when it is reported,
and we're looking at adding more with the addition of multigrain
timestamps.

Add a request_mask argument to generic_fillattr and have most callers
just pass in the value that is passed to getattr. Have other callers
(e.g. ksmbd) just pass in STATX_BASIC_STATS. Also move the setting of
STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE into generic_fillattr.

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.

Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.

Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.

Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

When a process exits, /proc/${pid}, and /proc/${pid}/net dentries are
flushed.  However some leaf dentries like /proc/${pid}/net/arp_cache
aren't.  That's because respective PDEs have proc_misc_d_revalidate() hook
which returns 1 and leaves dentries/inodes in the LRU.

Force revalidation/lookup on everything under /proc/${pid}/net by
inheriting proc_net_dentry_ops.

PDE_DATA(inode) is introduced to get user private data and hide the
layout of struct proc_dir_entry.  The inode-&gt;i_private is used to do the
same thing as well.  Save a copy of user private data to inode-&gt;
i_private when proc inode is allocated.  This means the user also can
get their private data by inode-&gt;i_private.

Introduce pde_data() to wrap inode-&gt;i_private so that we can remove
PDE_DATA() from fs/proc/generic.c and make PTE_DATE() as a wrapper of
pde_data().  It will be easier if we decide to remove PDE_DATE() in the
future.

Currently the pde_is_permanent() check is being run on root multiple times
rather than on the next proc directory entry.  This looks like a
