We do _NOT_ want to mkdir the path itself - we are preparing to
mknod it, after all. Normally it'll fail with -ENOENT and
just do nothing, but if somebody has created the parent in
the meanwhile, we'll get buggered...

thus avoiding abuses of vfs_path_lookup() (it was never intended to
be used with LOOKUP_PARENT). Games with credentials are also gone.

Instead of playing with removal of LOOKUP_OPEN, mangling (and
restoring) nd->path, just pass NULL to vfs_create(). The whole
point of what's being done there is to suppress any attempts
to open file by underlying fs, which is what nd == NULL indicates.

a) check the right flags in ->create() (LOOKUP_OPEN, not LOOKUP_CREATE)
b) default (!LOOKUP_OPEN) open_flags is O_CREAT|O_EXCL|FMODE_READ, not 0
c) lookup_instantiate_filp() should be done only with LOOKUP_OPEN;
otherwise we need to issue CLOSE, lest we leak stateid on server.

... and get rid of a bogus typecast, while we are at it; it's not
just that we want a function returning int and not void, but cast
to pointer to function taking void * and returning void would be
(void (*)(void *)) and not (void *)(void *), TYVM...

well store it in ->i_op->check_acl and be done with that.

capability overrides apply only to the default case; if fs has ->permission()
that does _not_ call generic_permission(), we have no business doing them.
Moreover, if it has ->permission() that does call generic_permission(), we
have no need to recheck capabilities.
Besides, the capability overrides should apply only if we got EACCES from
acl_permission_check(); any other value (-EIO, etc.) should be returned
to caller, capabilities or not capabilities.

Btrfs (and I'd venture most other fs's) stores its indexes in nice disk order
for readdir, but unfortunately in the case of anything that stats the files in
order that readdir spits back (like oh say ls) that means we still have to do
the normal lookup of the file, which means looking up our other index and then
looking up the inode. What I want is a way to create dummy dentries when we
find them in readdir so that when ls or anything else subsequently does a
stat(), we already have the location information in the dentry and can go
straight to the inode itself. The lookup stuff just assumes that if it finds a
dentry it is done, it doesn't perform a lookup. So add a DCACHE_NEED_LOOKUP
flag so that the lookup code knows it still needs to run i_op->lookup() on the
parent to get the inode for the dentry. I have tested this with btrfs and I
went from something that looks like this

Thats a savings of 1300 seconds, or 22 minutes. That is a significant savings.

I'm running a workload which triggers a lot of swap in a machine with 4
nodes. After I kill the workload, I found a kswapd livelock. Sometimes
kswapd3 or kswapd2 are keeping running and I can't access filesystem,
but most memory is free.
This looks like a regression since commit 08951e5459 ("mm: vmscan:
correct check for kswapd sleeping in sleeping_prematurely").
Node 2 and 3 have only ZONE_NORMAL, but balance_pgdat() will return 0
for classzone_idx. The reason is end_zone in balance_pgdat() is 0 by
default, if all zones have watermark ok, end_zone will keep 0.
Later sleeping_prematurely() always returns true. Because this is an
order 3 wakeup, and if classzone_idx is 0, both balanced_pages and
present_pages in pgdat_balanced() are 0. We add a special case here.
If a zone has no page, we think it's balanced. This fixes the livelock.
