Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "Stuff in here:

   - acct.c fixes and general rework of mnt_pin mechanism.  That allows
     to go for delayed-mntput stuff, which will permit mntput() on deep
     stack without worrying about stack overflows - fs shutdown will
     happen on shallow stack.  IOW, we can do Eric's umount-on-rmdir
     series without introducing tons of stack overflows on new mntput()
     call chains it introduces.
   - Bruce's d_splice_alias() patches
   - more Miklos' rename() stuff.
   - a couple of regression fixes (stable fodder, in the end of branch)
     and a fix for API idiocy in iov_iter.c.

  There definitely will be another pile, maybe even two.  I'd like to
  get Eric's series in this time, but even if we miss it, it'll go right
  in the beginning of for-next in the next cycle - the tricky part of
  prereqs is in this pile"

This patch integrates creation of sysfs groups and
attributes into NILFS file system driver.

It was found the issue with nilfs_sysfs_{create/delete}_snapshot_group
functions by Michael L Semon &lt;mlsemon35@gmail.com&gt; in the first
version of the patch:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:579

The reason of the issue was placement of
nilfs_sysfs_{create/delete}_snapshot_group() call under
nilfs-&gt;ns_cptree_lock protection.  But this protection is unnecessary and
wrong solution.  The second version of the patch fixes this issue.

<title>dcache: d_obtain_alias callers don't all want DISCONNECTED</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1a0a397e41cb1bf70cfe45fd0eeff08c7c501ec0</id>
<content type='text'>
There are a few d_obtain_alias callers that are using it to get the
root of a filesystem which may already have an alias somewhere else.

This is not the same as the filehandle-lookup case, and none of them
actually need DCACHE_DISCONNECTED set.

It isn't really a serious problem, but it would really be clearer if we
reserved DCACHE_DISCONNECTED for those cases where it's actually needed.

In the btrfs case this was causing a spurious printk from
nfsd/nfsfh.c:fh_verify when it found an unexpected DCACHE_DISCONNECTED
dentry.  Josef worked around this by unsetting DCACHE_DISCONNECTED
manually in 3a0dfa6a12e "Btrfs: unset DCACHE_DISCONNECTED when mounting
default subvol", and this replaces that workaround.

<title>fs: push sync_filesystem() down to the file system's remount_fs()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:02b9984d640873b7b3809e63f81a0d7e13496886</id>
<content type='text'>
Previously, the no-op "mount -o mount /dev/xxx" operation when the
file system is already mounted read-write causes an implied,
unconditional syncfs().  This seems pretty stupid, and it's certainly
documented or guaraunteed to do this, nor is it particularly useful,
except in the case where the file system was mounted rw and is getting
remounted read-only.

However, it's possible that there might be some file systems that are
actually depending on this behavior.  In most file systems, it's
probably fine to only call sync_filesystem() when transitioning from
read-write to read-only, and there are some file systems where this is
not needed at all (for example, for a pseudo-filesystem or something
like romfs).

The cp_inodes_count and cp_blocks_count are represented as __le64 type in
on-disk structure (struct nilfs_checkpoint).  But analogous fields in
in-core structure (struct nilfs_root) are represented by atomic_t type.

This patch replaces atomic_t on atomic64_t type in representation of
inodes_count and blocks_count fields in struct nilfs_root.

<title>nilfs2: implement calculation of free inodes count</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c7ef972c440fc9f1eda28b450cd30ad15c4d60cf</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, NILFS2 returns 0 as free inodes count (f_ffree) and current
used inodes count as total file nodes in file system (f_files):

df -i
Filesystem      Inodes  IUsed   IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/loop0           2      2       0  100% /mnt/nilfs2

This patch implements real calculation of free inodes count.  First of
all, it is calculated total file nodes in file system as
(desc_blocks_count * groups_per_desc_block * entries_per_group).  Then, it
is calculated free inodes count as difference the total file nodes and
used inodes count.  As a result, we have such output for NILFS2:

df -i
Filesystem       Inodes   IUsed    IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/loop0      4194304 2114701  2079603   51% /mnt/nilfs2

<title>fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7f78e0351394052e1a6293e175825eb5c7869507</id>
<content type='text'>
Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
to match.

A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.

Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
making things safer with no real cost.

Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
with blacklist and alias directives.  Allowing simple, safe,
well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.

This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
would not work.  While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
cases.  The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
autofs4.

This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.

After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
module.  The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
without regards to the users permissions.  In general all a filesystem
module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted.  In a user
namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
which most filesystems do not set today.

<title>fs: push rcu_barrier() from deactivate_locked_super() to filesystems</title>

There's no reason to call rcu_barrier() on every
deactivate_locked_super().  We only need to make sure that all delayed rcu
free inodes are flushed before we destroy related cache.

Removing rcu_barrier() from deactivate_locked_super() affects some fast
paths.  E.g.  on my machine exit_group() of a last process in IPC
namespace takes 0.07538s.  rcu_barrier() takes 0.05188s of that time.
