Subject: [PATCH 00/20] Support follow_link in RCU-walk - V3
Hi Al,
thanks for all your review help - particularly the fact that
dentry->d_inode is not stable in RCU-walk. That has lead to
a number of changes.
I think this set addresses all of your review comments, improves
some documentation, and has a go at providing a solution for lustre.
I hope to organize some proper testing soon, so I can confirm that it
makes certain loads a lot faster.
Thanks,
NeilBrown

Documentation: remove outdated information from automount-support.txt
STAGING/lustre: limit follow_link recursion using stack space.
VFS: replace {,total_}link_count in task_struct with pointer to nameidata
ovl: rearrange ovl_follow_link to it doesn't need to call ->put_link
VFS: replace nameidata arg to ->put_link with a char*.
SECURITY: remove nameidata arg from inode_follow_link.
VFS: remove nameidata args from ->follow_link
VFS: make all ->follow_link handlers aware for LOOKUP_RCU
security/selinux: pass 'flags' arg to avc_audit() and avc_has_perm_flags()
security: make inode_follow_link RCU-walk aware
VFS/namei: use terminate_walk when symlink lookup fails.
VFS/namei: new flag to support RCU symlinks: LOOKUP_LINK_RCU.
VFS/namei: abort RCU-walk on symlink if atime needs updating.
VFS/namei: add 'inode' arg to put_link().
VFS/namei: enhance follow_link to support RCU-walk.
VFS/namei: enable RCU-walk when following symlinks.
VFS/namei: handle LOOKUP_RCU in page_follow_link_light.
xfs: use RCU to free 'struct xfs_mount'.
XFS: allow follow_link to often succeed in RCU-walk.
NFS: support LOOKUP_RCU in nfs_follow_link.
