Extract the code that runs under overridden credentials into a separate
ovl_rename_upper() helper function and the code that runs before/after to
ovl_rename_start/end(). Error handling is simplified.
The helpers returns errors directly instead of using goto labels.

ops."
NeilBrown <neilb@ownmail.net> says:
This series is the next part of my effort to change directory-op
locking to allow multiple concurrent ops in a directory. Ultimately we
will (in my plan) lock the target dentry(s) rather than the whole
parent directory.
To help with changing the locking protocol, this series centralises
locking and lookup in some helpers. The various helpers are introduced
and then used in the same patch - roughly one patch per helper though
with various exceptions.
I haven't introduced these helpers into the various filesystems that
Al's tree-in-dcache series is changing. That series introduces and
uses similar helpers tuned to the specific needs of that set of
filesystems. Ultimately all the helpers will use the same backends
which can then be adjusted when it is time to change the locking
protocol.
One change that deserves highlighting is in patch 13 where vfs_mkdir()
is changed to unlock the parent on failure, as well as the current
behaviour of dput()ing the dentry on failure. Once this change is in
place, the final step of both create and an remove sequences only
requires the target dentry, not the parent. So e.g. end_creating() is
only given the dentry (which may be IS_ERR() after vfs_mkdir()). This
helps establish the pattern that it is the dentry that is being locked
and unlocked (the lock is currently held on dentry->d_parent->d_inode,
but that can change).

Occasionally the caller of end_creating() wants to keep using the dentry.
Rather then requiring them to dget() the dentry (when not an error)
before calling end_creating(), provide end_creating_keep() which does
this.
cachefiles and overlayfs make use of this.

vfs_mkdir() already drops the reference to the dentry on failure but it
leaves the parent locked.
This complicates end_creating() which needs to unlock the parent even
though the dentry is no longer available.
If we change vfs_mkdir() to unlock on failure as well as releasing the
dentry, we can remove the "parent" arg from end_creating() and simplify
the rules for calling it.
Note that cachefiles_get_directory() can choose to substitute an error
instead of actually calling vfs_mkdir(), for fault injection. In that
case it needs to call end_creating(), just as vfs_mkdir() now does on
error.
ovl_create_real() will now unlock on error. So the conditional
end_creating() after the call is removed, and end_creating() is called
internally on error.

A few callers want to lock for a rename and already have both dentries.
Also debugfs does want to perform a lookup but doesn't want permission
checking, so start_renaming_dentry() cannot be used.
This patch introduces start_renaming_two_dentries() which is given both
dentries. debugfs performs one lookup itself. As it will only continue
with a negative dentry and as those cannot be renamed or unlinked, it is
safe to do the lookup before getting the rename locks.
overlayfs uses start_renaming_two_dentries() in three places and selinux
uses it twice in sel_make_policy_nodes().
In sel_make_policy_nodes() we now lock for rename twice instead of just
once so the combined operation is no longer atomic w.r.t the parent
directory locks. As selinux_state.policy_mutex is held across the whole
operation this does not open up any interesting races.

Several callers perform a rename on a dentry they already have, and only
require lookup for the target name. This includes smb/server and a few
different places in overlayfs.
start_renaming_dentry() performs the required lookup and takes the
required lock using lock_rename_child()
It is used in three places in overlayfs and in ksmbd_vfs_rename().
In the ksmbd case, the parent of the source is not important - the
source must be renamed from wherever it is. So start_renaming_dentry()
allows rd->old_parent to be NULL and only checks it if it is non-NULL.
On success rd->old_parent will be the parent of old_dentry with an extra
reference taken. Other start_renaming function also now take the extra
reference and end_renaming() now drops this reference as well.
ovl_lookup_temp(), ovl_parent_lock(), and ovl_parent_unlock() are
all removed as they are no longer needed.
OVL_TEMPNAME_SIZE and ovl_tempname() are now declared in overlayfs.h so
that ovl_check_rename_whiteout() can access them.
ovl_copy_up_workdir() now always cleans up on error.

start_renaming() combines name lookup and locking to prepare for rename.
It is used when two names need to be looked up as in nfsd and overlayfs -
cases where one or both dentries are already available will be handled
separately.
__start_renaming() avoids the inode_permission check and hash
calculation and is suitable after filename_parentat() in do_renameat2().
It subsumes quite a bit of code from that function.
start_renaming() does calculate the hash and check X permission and is
suitable elsewhere:
- nfsd_rename()
- ovl_rename()
In ovl, ovl_do_rename_rd() is factored out of ovl_do_rename(), which
itself will be gone by the end of the series.

They are used in btrfs for subvol creation and removal.
btrfs_may_create() no longer needs IS_DEADDIR() and
start_creating_killable() includes that check.

start_removing_dentry() is similar to start_removing() but instead of
providing a name for lookup, the target dentry is given.
start_removing_dentry() checks that the dentry is still hashed and in
the parent, and if so it locks and increases the refcount so that
end_removing() can be used to finish the operation.
This is used in cachefiles, overlayfs, smb/server, and apparmor.
There will be other users including ecryptfs.
As start_removing_dentry() takes an extra reference to the dentry (to be
put by end_removing()), there is no need to explicitly take an extra
reference to stop d_delete() from using dentry_unlink_inode() to negate
the dentry - as in cachefiles_delete_object(), and ksmbd_vfs_unlink().
cachefiles_bury_object() now gets an extra ref to the victim, which is
drops. As it includes the needed end_removing() calls, the caller
doesn't need them.

Sometimes smb2_create_link() needs to remove the target before creating
the link.
It uses ksmbd_vfs_kern_locked(), and is the only user of that interface.
To match the new naming, that function is changed to
ksmbd_vfs_kern_start_removing(), and related functions or flags are also
renamed.
The lock actually happens in ksmbd_vfs_path_lookup() and that is changed
to use start_removing_noperm() - permission to perform lookup in the
parent was already checked in vfs_path_parent_lookup().

which do not check permissions.
This patch adds _noperm versions of these functions.
Note that do_mq_open() was only calling mntget() so it could call
path_put() - it didn't really need an extra reference on the mnt.
Now it doesn't call mntget() and uses end_creating() which does
the dput() half of path_put().
Also mq_unlink() previously passed
d_inode(dentry->d_parent)
as the dir inode to vfs_unlink(). This is after locking
d_inode(mnt->mnt_root)
These two inodes are the same, but normally calls use the textual
parent.
So I've changes the vfs_unlink() call to be given d_inode(mnt->mnt_root).

changes since v2:
- dir arg passed to vfs_unlink() in mq_unlink() changed to match
the dir passed to lookup_noperm()
- restore assignment to path->mnt even though the mntget() is removed.

start_removing() is similar to start_creating() but will only return a
positive dentry with the expectation that it will be removed. This is
used by nfsd, cachefiles, and overlayfs. They are changed to also use
end_removing() to terminate the action begun by start_removing(). This
is a simple alias for end_dirop().
Apart from changes to the error paths, as we no longer need to unlock on
a lookup error, an effect on callers is that they don't need to test if
the found dentry is positive or negative - they can be sure it is
positive.
