fs: make helpers idmap mount aware
Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A
filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user
namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for
additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to
translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all
relevant helpers in earlier patches.

As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of
introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly
mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

acl: handle idmapped mounts
The posix acl permission checking helpers determine whether a caller is
privileged over an inode according to the acls associated with the
inode. Add helpers that make it possible to handle acls on idmapped
mounts.

The vfs and the filesystems targeted by this first iteration make use of
posix_acl_fix_xattr_from_user() and posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user() to
translate basic posix access and default permissions such as the
ACL_USER and ACL_GROUP type according to the initial user namespace (or
the superblock's user namespace) to and from the caller's current user
namespace. Adapt these two helpers to handle idmapped mounts whereby we
either map from or into the mount's user namespace depending on in which
direction we're translating.
Similarly, cap_convert_nscap() is used by the vfs to translate user
namespace and non-user namespace aware filesystem capabilities from the
superblock's user namespace to the caller's user namespace. Enable it to
handle idmapped mounts by accounting for the mount's user namespace.

In addition the fileystems targeted in the first iteration of this patch
series make use of the posix_acl_chmod() and, posix_acl_update_mode()
helpers. Both helpers perform permission checks on the target inode. Let
them handle idmapped mounts. These two helpers are called when posix
acls are set by the respective filesystems to handle this case we extend
the ->set() method to take an additional user namespace argument to pass
the mount's user namespace down.

Bob Peterson 2fba46a04c gfs2: Change inode qa_data to allow multiple users
Before this patch, multiple users called gfs2_qa_alloc which allocated
a qadata structure to the inode, if quotas are turned on. Later, in
file close or evict, the structure was deleted with gfs2_qa_delete.
But there can be several competing processes who need access to the
structure. There were races between file close (release) and the others.
Thus, a release could delete the structure out from under a process
that relied upon its existence. For example, chown.

This patch changes the management of the qadata structures to be
a get/put scheme. Function gfs2_qa_alloc has been changed to gfs2_qa_get
and if the structure is allocated, the count essentially starts out at
1. Function gfs2_qa_delete has been renamed to gfs2_qa_put, and the
last guy to decrement the count to 0 frees the memory.

Bob Peterson d580712a37 gfs2: eliminate gfs2_rsqa_alloc in favor of gfs2_qa_alloc
Before this patch, multiple callers called gfs2_rsqa_alloc to force
the existence of a reservations structure and a quota data structure
if needed. However, now the reservations are handled separately, so
the quota data is only the quota data. So we eliminate the one in
favor of just calling gfs2_qa_alloc directly.

Andreas Gruenbacher c2c4be28c2 gfs2: Always update inode ctime in set_acl
Three-entry POSIX ACLs can be stored in the file mode permission bits,
with no need to store them in extended attributes.  When a process sets
such a minimal ACL, the kernel updates the file mode like chmod does,
and removes any existing extended attributes for that ACL.  Make sure
the ctime is always updated in that case.

Fixes xfstest generic/307.

Ernesto A. Fernández 309e8cda59 gfs2: preserve i_mode if __gfs2_set_acl() fails
When changing a file's acl mask, __gfs2_set_acl() will first set the
group bits of i_mode to the value of the mask, and only then set the
actual extended attribute representing the new acl.

If the second part fails (due to lack of space, for example) and the
file had no acl attribute to begin with, the system will from now on
assume that the mask permission bits are actual group permission bits,
potentially granting access to the wrong users.

Prevent this by only changing the inode mode after the acl has been set.

Jan Kara 914cea93dd gfs2: Don't clear SGID when inheriting ACLs
When new directory 'DIR1' is created in a directory 'DIR0' with SGID bit
set, DIR1 is expected to have SGID bit set (and owning group equal to
the owning group of 'DIR0'). However when 'DIR0' also has some default
ACLs that 'DIR1' inherits, setting these ACLs will result in SGID bit on
'DIR1' to get cleared if user is not member of the owning group.

Fix the problem by moving posix_acl_update_mode() out of
__gfs2_set_acl() into gfs2_set_acl(). That way the function will not be
called when inheriting ACLs which is what we want as it prevents SGID
bit clearing and the mode has been properly set by posix_acl_create()
anyway.

When file permissions are modified via chmod(2) and the user is not in
the owning group or capable of CAP_FSETID, the setgid bit is cleared in
inode_change_ok().  Setting a POSIX ACL via setxattr(2) sets the file

a similar way; this allows to bypass the check in chmod(2).  Fix that.

Steven Whitehouse ab9bbda020 GFS2: Use ->dirty_inode()
The aim of this patch is to use the newly enhanced ->dirty_inode()
super block operation to deal with atime updates, rather than
piggy backing that code into ->write_inode() as is currently
done.

The net result is a simplification of the code in various places
and a reduction of the number of gfs2_dinode_out() calls since
this is now implied by ->dirty_inode().

Some of the mark_inode_dirty() calls have been moved under glocks
in order to take advantage of then being able to avoid locking in
->dirty_inode() when we already have suitable locks.

One consequence is that generic_write_end() now correctly deals
with file size updates, so that we do not need a separate check
for that afterwards. This also, indirectly, means that fdatasync
should work correctly on GFS2 - the current code always syncs the
metadata whether it needs to or not.

Has survived testing with postmark (with and without atime) and
also fsx.

methods for the regular user/trusted/secure handlers in extN, ocfs2 and
jffs2 like it's already done for xfs in this patch.

Also change the inode argument to the handlers to a dentry to allow
using the handlers mechnism for filesystems that require it later,

Steven Whitehouse 307cf6e63c GFS2: Rename eattr.[ch] as xattr.[ch]
Use the more conventional name for the extended attribute
support code. Update all the places which care.

Steven Whitehouse 40b78a3223 GFS2: Clean up of extended attribute support
This has been on my list for some time. We need to change the way
in which we handle extended attributes to allow faster file creation
times (by reducing the number of transactions required) and the
extended attribute code is the main obstacle to this.

In addition to that, the VFS provides a way to demultiplex the xattr
calls which we ought to be using, rather than rolling our own. This
patch changes the GFS2 code to use that VFS feature and as a result
the code shrinks by a couple of hundred lines or so, and becomes
easier to read.

I'm planning on doing further clean up work in this area, but this
patch is a good start. The cleaned up code also uses the more usual
"xattr" shorthand, I plan to eliminate the use of "eattr" eventually
and in the mean time it serves as a flag as to which bits of the code
have been updated.

Al Viro ce3b0f8d5c New helper - current_umask()
current->fs->umask is what most of fs_struct users are doing.
Put that into a helper function.

Steven Whitehouse f057f6cdf6 GFS2: Merge lock_dlm module into GFS2
This is the big patch that I've been working on for some time
now. There are many reasons for wanting to make this change
such as:
 o Reducing overhead by eliminating duplicated fields between structures
 o Simplifcation of the code (reduces the code size by a fair bit)
 o The locking interface is now the DLM interface itself as proposed
   some time ago.
 o Fewer lookups of glocks when processing replies from the DLM
 o Fewer memory allocations/deallocations for each glock
 o Scope to do further optimisations in the future (but this patch is
   more than big enough for now!)

Please note that (a) this patch relates to the lock_dlm module and
not the DLM itself, that is still a separate module; and (b) that
we retain the ability to build GFS2 as a standalone single node
filesystem with out requiring the DLM.

This patch needs a lot of testing, hence my keeping it I restarted
my -git tree after the last merge window. That way, this has the maximum
exposure before its merged. This is (modulo a few minor bug fixes) the
same patch that I've been posting on and off the the last three months
and its passed a number of different tests so far.

Josef Bacik 16c5f06f15 [GFS2] fix GFP_KERNEL misuses
There are several places where GFP_KERNEL allocations happen under a glock,
which will result in hangs if we're under memory pressure and go to re-enter the
fs in order to flush stuff out.  This patch changes the culprits to GFS_NOFS to
keep this problem from happening.  Thank you,
