Scott Mayhew eae00c5d6e nfs: update has_sec_mnt_opts after cloning lsm options from parent
After calling security_sb_clone_mnt_opts() in nfs_get_root(), it's
necessary to copy the value of has_sec_mnt_opts from the cloned
super_block's nfs_server.  Otherwise, calls to nfs_compare_super()
using this super_block may not return the correct result, leading to
mount failures.

For example, mounting an nfs server with the following in /etc/exports:
/export *(rw,insecure,crossmnt,no_root_squash,security_label)
and having /export/scratch on a separate block device.

mount -o v4.2,context=system_u:object_r:root_t:s0 server:/export/test /mnt/test
mount -o v4.2,context=system_u:object_r:swapfile_t:s0 server:/export/scratch /mnt/scratch

The second mount would fail with "mount.nfs: /mnt/scratch is busy or
already mounted or sharecache fail" and "SELinux: mount invalid.  Same
superblock, different security settings for..." would appear in the
syslog.

Also while we're in there, replace several instances of "NFS_SB(s)"
with "server", which was already declared at the top of the
nfs_get_root().

Scott Mayhew 779df6a548 NFS: Ensure security label is set for root inode
When using NFSv4.2, the security label for the root inode should be set
via a call to nfs_setsecurity() during the mount process, otherwise the
inode will appear as unlabeled for up to acdirmin seconds.  Currently
the label for the root inode is allocated, retrieved, and freed entirely
witin nfs4_proc_get_root().

Add a field for the label to the nfs_fattr struct, and allocate & free
the label in nfs_get_root(), where we also add a call to
nfs_setsecurity().  Note that for the call to nfs_setsecurity() to
succeed, it's necessary to also move the logic calling
security_sb_{set,clone}_security() from nfs_get_tree_common() down into
nfs_get_root()... otherwise the SBLABEL_MNT flag will not be set in the
super_block's security flags and nfs_setsecurity() will silently fail.

Scott Mayhew 62a55d088c NFS: Additional refactoring for fs_context conversion
Split out from commit "NFS: Add fs_context support."

This patch adds additional refactoring for the conversion of NFS to use
fs_context, namely:

 (*) Merge nfs_mount_info and nfs_clone_mount into nfs_fs_context.
     nfs_clone_mount has had several fields removed, and nfs_mount_info
     has been removed altogether.
 (*) Various functions now take an fs_context as an argument instead
     of nfs_mount_info, nfs_fs_context, etc.

J. Bruce Fields 1a0a397e41 dcache: d_obtain_alias callers don't all want DISCONNECTED
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 3a0dfa6a12 "Btrfs: unset DCACHE_DISCONNECTED when mounting
default subvol", and this replaces that workaround.

This patch splits out the NFS v4 specific functionality of
nfs4_get_root() into its own rpc_op called by the generic client, and
leaves nfs4_proc_get_rootfh() as its own stand alone function.  This
also allows me to change nfs4_remote_mount(), nfs4_xdev_mount() and
nfs4_remote_referral_mount() to use the generic client's nfs_get_root()
function.  Later patches in this series will collapse these functions
into one common function, so using the same get_root() function
everywhere simplifies future changes.

This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup

have d_op but not the particular operation.

It does this by creating each superblock with a false root and returning the
real root dentry in the vfsmount presented by get_sb(). The root dentry set
starts off as an anonymous dentry if we don't already have the dentry for its
inode, otherwise it simply returns the dentry we already have.

We may thus end up with several trees of dentries in the superblock, and if at
some later point one of anonymous tree roots is discovered by normal filesystem
activity to be located in another tree within the superblock, the anonymous
root is named and materialises attached to the second tree at the appropriate
point.

Why do it this way? Why not pass an extra argument to the mount() syscall to
indicate the subpath and then pathwalk from the server root to the desired
directory? You can't guarantee this will work for two reasons:

 (1) The root and intervening nodes may not be accessible to the client.

     With NFS2 and NFS3, for instance, mountd is called on the server to get
     the filehandle for the tip of a path. mountd won't give us handles for
     anything we don't have permission to access, and so we can't set up NFS
     inodes for such nodes, and so can't easily set up dentries (we'd have to
     have ghost inodes or something).

     With this patch we don't actually create dentries until we get handles
     from the server that we can use to set up their inodes, and we don't
     actually bind them into the tree until we know for sure where they go.

 (2) Inaccessible symbolic links.

     If we're asked to mount two exports from the server, eg:

	mount warthog:/warthog/aaa/xxx /mmm
	mount warthog:/warthog/bbb/yyy /nnn

     We may not be able to access anything nearer the root than xxx and yyy,
     but we may find out later that /mmm/www/yyy, say, is actually the same
     directory as the one mounted on /nnn. What we might then find out, for
     example, is that /warthog/bbb was actually a symbolic link to
     /warthog/aaa/xxx/www, but we can't actually determine that by talking to
     the server until /warthog is made available by NFS.

     This would lead to having constructed an errneous dentry tree which we
     can't easily fix. We can end up with a dentry marked as a directory when
     it should actually be a symlink, or we could end up with an apparently
     hardlinked directory.

     With this patch we need not make assumptions about the type of a dentry
     for which we can't retrieve information, nor need we assume we know its
     place in the grand scheme of things until we actually see that place.

This patch reduces the possibility of aliasing in the inode and page caches for
inodes that may be accessed by more than one NFS export. It also reduces the
number of superblocks required for NFS where there are many NFS exports being
used from a server (home directory server + autofs for example).

This in turn makes it simpler to do local caching of network filesystems, as it
can then be guaranteed that there won't be links from multiple inodes in
separate superblocks to the same cache file.

Obviously, cache aliasing between different levels of NFS protocol could still
be a problem, but at least that gives us another key to use when indexing the
cache.

This patch makes the following changes:

 (1) The server record construction/destruction has been abstracted out into
     its own set of functions to make things easier to get right.  These have
     been moved into fs/nfs/client.c.

     All the code in fs/nfs/client.c has to do with the management of
     connections to servers, and doesn't touch superblocks in any way; the
     remaining code in fs/nfs/super.c has to do with VFS superblock management.

 (2) The sequence of events undertaken by NFS mount is now reordered:

     (a) A volume representation (struct nfs_server) is allocated.

     (b) A server representation (struct nfs_client) is acquired.  This may be
     	 allocated or shared, and is keyed on server address, port and NFS
     	 version.

     (c) If allocated, the client representation is initialised.  The state
     	 member variable of nfs_client is used to prevent a race during
     	 initialisation from two mounts.

     (d) For NFS4 a simple pathwalk is performed, walking from FH to FH to find
     	 the root filehandle for the mount (fs/nfs/getroot.c).  For NFS2/3 we
     	 are given the root FH in advance.

     (e) The volume FSID is probed for on the root FH.

     (f) The volume representation is initialised from the FSINFO record
     	 retrieved on the root FH.

     (g) sget() is called to acquire a superblock.  This may be allocated or
     	 shared, keyed on client pointer and FSID.

     (h) If allocated, the superblock is initialised.

     (i) If the superblock is shared, then the new nfs_server record is
     	 discarded.

     (j) The root dentry for this mount is looked up from the root FH.

     (k) The root dentry for this mount is assigned to the vfsmount.

 (3) nfs_readdir_lookup() creates dentries for each of the entries readdir()
     returns; this function now attaches disconnected trees from alternate
     roots that happen to be discovered attached to a directory being read (in
     the same way nfs_lookup() is made to do for lookup ops).

     The new d_materialise_unique() function is now used to do this, thus
     permitting the whole thing to be done under one set of locks, and thus
     avoiding any race between mount and lookup operations on the same
     directory.

 (4) The client management code uses a new debug facility: NFSDBG_CLIENT which
     is set by echoing 1024 to /proc/net/sunrpc/nfs_debug.

 (5) Clone mounts are now called xdev mounts.

 (6) Use the dentry passed to the statfs() op as the handle for retrieving fs
     statistics rather than the root dentry of the superblock (which is now a
     dummy).
