Subject: [PATCH v2 3/7] libfs: Validate negative dentries in case-insensitive directories

From: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <krisman@...labora.com>

Introduce a dentry revalidation helper to be used by case-insensitive
filesystems to check if it is safe to reuse a negative dentry.

A negative dentry is safe to be reused on a case-insensitive lookup if
it was created during a case-insensitive lookup and this is not a lookup
that will instantiate a dentry. If this is a creation lookup, we also
need to make sure the name matches sensitively the name under lookup in
order to assure the name preserving semantics.

dentry->d_name is only checked by the case-insensitive d_revalidate hook
in the LOOKUP_CREATE/LOOKUP_RENAME_TARGET case since, for these cases,
d_revalidate is always called with the parent inode locked, and
therefore the name cannot change from under us.

d_revalidate is only called in 4 places: lookup_dcache, __lookup_slow,
lookup_open and lookup_fast:

  - lookup_dcache always calls it with zeroed flags, with the exception
  of when coming from __lookup_hash, which needs the parent locked
  already, for instance in the open/creation path, which is locked in
  open_last_lookups.

  - In __lookup_slow, either the parent inode is locked by the
  caller (lookup_slow), or it is called with no
  flags (lookup_one/lookup_one_len).

  - lookup_open also requires the parent to be locked in the creation
  case, which is done in open_last_lookups.

  - lookup_fast will indeed be called with the parent unlocked, but it
  shouldn't be called with LOOKUP_CREATE.  Either it is called in the
  link_path_walk, where nd->flags doesn't have LOOKUP_CREATE yet or in
  open_last_lookups. But, in this case, it also never has LOOKUP_CREATE,
  because it is only called on the !O_CREAT case, which means op->intent
  doesn't have LOOKUP_CREAT (set in build_open_flags only if O_CREAT is
  set).

Finally, for the LOOKUP_RENAME_TARGET, we are doing a rename, so the
parents inodes are also be locked.
