The logics in both of them is the same:
while true
if in process' root // uncommon
break
if *not* in mount root // normal case
find the parent
return
if at absolute root // very uncommon
break
move to underlying mountpoint
report that we are in root
Pull the common path out of the loop:
if in process' root // uncommon
goto in_root
if unlikely(in mount root)
while true
if at absolute root
goto in_root
move to underlying mountpoint
if in process' root
goto in_root
if in mount root
break;
find the parent // we are not in mount root
return
in_root:
report that we are in root
The reason for that transformation is that we get to keep the
common path straight *and* get a separate block for "move
through underlying mountpoints", which will allow to sanitize
NO_XDEV handling there. What's more, the pared-down loops
will be easier to deal with - in particular, non-RCU case
has no need to grab mount_lock and rewriting it to the
form that wouldn't do that is a non-trivial change. Better
do that with less stuff getting in the way...

Right now the tail ends of follow_dotdot{,_rcu}() are pretty
much the open-coded analogues of step_into(). The differences:
* the lack of proper LOOKUP_NO_XDEV handling in non-RCU case
(arguably a bug)
* the lack of ->d_manage() handling (again, arguably a bug)
Adjust the calling conventions so that on the next step with could
just switch those functions to returning step_into().

it's easier to drop it right after lookup_open() and regain if
needed (i.e. if we will need to truncate). On the non-FMODE_OPENED

We use nd->stack to store two things: pinning down the symlinks
we are resolving and resuming the name traversal when a nested
symlink is finished.
Currently, nd->depth is used to keep track of both. It's 0 when
we call link_path_walk() for the first time (for the pathname
itself) and 1 on all subsequent calls (for trailing symlinks,
if any). That's fine, as far as pinning symlinks goes - when
handling a trailing symlink, the string we are interpreting
is the body of symlink pinned down in nd->stack[0]. It's
rather inconvenient with respect to handling nested symlinks,
though - when we run out of a string we are currently interpreting,
we need to decide whether it's a nested symlink (in which case
we need to pick the string saved back when we started to interpret
that nested symlink and resume its traversal) or not (in which
case we are done with link_path_walk()).
Current solution is a bit of a kludge - in handling of trailing symlink
(in lookup_last() and open_last_lookups() we clear nd->stack[0].name.
That allows link_path_walk() to use the following rules when
running out of a string to interpret:
* if nd->depth is zero, we are at the end of pathname itself.
* if nd->depth is positive, check the saved string; for
nested symlink it will be non-NULL, for trailing symlink - NULL.
It works, but it's rather non-obvious. Note that we have two sets:
the set of symlinks currently being traversed and the set of postponed
pathname tails. The former is stored in nd->stack[0..nd->depth-1].link
and it's valid throught the pathname resolution; the latter is valid only
during an individual call of link_path_walk() and it occupies
nd->stack[0..nd->depth-1].name for the first call of link_path_walk() and
nd->stack[1..nd->depth-1].name for subsequent ones. The kludge is basically
a way to recognize the second set becoming empty.
The things get simpler if we keep track of the second set's size
explicitly and always store it in nd->stack[0..depth-1].name.
We access the second set only inside link_path_walk(), so its
size can live in a local variable; that way the check becomes
trivial without the need of that kludge.

->last_type values are set in 3 places: path_init() (sets to LAST_ROOT),
link_path_walk (LAST_NORM/DOT/DOTDOT) and pick_link (LAST_BIND).
The are checked in walk_component(), lookup_last() and do_last().
They also get copied to the caller by filename_parentat(). In the last
3 cases the value is what we had at the return from link_path_walk().
In case of walk_component() it's either directly downstream from
assignment in link_path_walk() or, when called by lookup_last(), the
value we have at the return from link_path_walk().
The value at the entry into link_path_walk() can survive to return only
if the pathname contains nothing but slashes. Note that pick_link()
never returns such - pure jumps are handled directly. So for the calls
of link_path_walk() for trailing symlinks it does not matter what value
had been there at the entry; the value at the return won't depend upon it.
There are 3 call chains that might have pick_link() storing LAST_BIND:
1) pick_link() from step_into() from walk_component() from
link_path_walk(). In that case we will either be parsing the next
component immediately after return into link_path_walk(), which will
overwrite the ->last_type before anyone has a chance to look at it,
or we'll fail, in which case nobody will be looking at ->last_type at all.
2) pick_link() from step_into() from walk_component() from lookup_last().
The value is never looked at due to the above; it won't affect the value
seen at return from any link_path_walk().
3) pick_link() from step_into() from do_last(). Ditto.
In other words, assignemnt in pick_link() is pointless, and so is
LAST_BIND itself; nothing ever looks at that value. Kill it off.
And make link_path_walk() _always_ assign ->last_type - in the only
case when the value at the entry might survive to the return that value
is always LAST_ROOT, inherited from path_init(). Move that assignment
from path_init() into the beginning of link_path_walk(), to consolidate
the things.
Historical note: LAST_BIND used to be used for the kludge with trailing
pure jump symlinks (extra iteration through the top-level loop).
No point keeping it anymore...

After a pure jump ("/" or procfs-style symlink) we don't need to
hold the link anymore. link_path_walk() dropped it if such case
had been detected, lookup_last/do_last() (i.e. old trailing_symlink())
left it on the stack - it ended up calling terminate_walk() shortly
anyway, which would've purged the entire stack.
Do it in get_link() itself instead. Simpler logics that way...

Fold trailing_symlink() into lookup_last() and do_last(), change
the calling conventions of those two. Rules change:
success, we are done => NULL instead of 0
error => ERR_PTR(-E...) instead of -E...
got a symlink to follow => return the path to be followed instead of 1
The loops calling those (in path_lookupat() and path_openat()) adjusted.
A subtle change of control flow here: originally a pure-jump trailing
symlink ("/" or procfs one) would've passed through the upper level
loop once more, with "" for path to traverse. That would've brought
us back to the lookup_last/do_last entry and we would've hit LAST_BIND
case (LAST_BIND left from get_link() called by trailing_symlink())
and pretty much skip to the point right after where we'd left the
sucker back when we picked that trailing symlink.
Now we don't bother with that extra pass through the upper level
loop - if get_link() says "I've just done a pure jump, nothing
else to do", we just treat that as non-symlink case.
Boilerplate added on that step will go away shortly - it'll migrate
into walk_component() and then to step_into(), collapsing into the
change of calling conventions for those.

Move restoring LOOKUP_PARENT and zeroing nd->stack.name[0] past

That allows to moved the call of may_follow_link() into get_link()
as well, since now the presence of LOOKUP_PARENT distinguishes
the callers from each other (link_path_walk() has it, trailing_symlink()
doesn't).
Preparations for folding trailing_symlink() into callers (lookup_last()
and do_last()) and changing the calling conventions of those. Next

The following is true:
* calls of handle_mounts() and step_into() are always
paired in sequences like
err = handle_mounts(nd, dentry, &path, &inode, &seq);
if (unlikely(err < 0))
return err;
err = step_into(nd, &path, flags, inode, seq);
* in all such sequences path is uninitialized before and
unused after this pair of calls
* in all such sequences inode and seq are unused afterwards.
So the call of handle_mounts() can be shifted inside step_into(),
turning 'path' into a local variable in the combined function.

We need to dismiss a symlink when we are done traversing it;
currently that's done when we call step_into() for its last
component. For the cases when we do not call step_into()
for that component (i.e. when it's . or ..) we do the same
symlink dismissal after the call of handle_dots().
What we need to guarantee is that the symlink won't be dismissed
while we are still using nd->last.name - it's pointing into the
body of said symlink. step_into() is sufficiently late - by
the time it's called we'd already obtained the dentry, so the
name we'd been looking up is no longer needed. However, it
turns out to be cleaner to have that ("we are done with that
component now, can dismiss the link") done explicitly - in the
callers of step_into().
In handle_dots() case we won't be using the component string
at all, so for . and .. the corresponding point is actually
_before_ the call of handle_dots(), not after it.
Fix a minor irregularity in do_last(), while we are at it -
if trailing symlink ended with . or .. we forgot to dismiss
it. Not a problem, since nameidata is about to be done with
(neither . nor .. can be a trailing symlink, so this is the
last iteration through the loop) and terminate_walk() will
clean the stack anyway, but let's keep it more regular.

Current calling conventions: -E... on error, 0 on cache miss,
result of handle_mounts(nd, dentry, path, inode, seqp) on
success. Turn that into returning ERR_PTR(-E...), NULL and dentry
resp.; deal with handle_mounts() in the callers. The thing
is, they already do that in cache miss handling case, so we
just need to supply dentry to them and unify the mount traversal
in those cases. Fewer arguments that way, and we get closer
to merging handle_mounts() and step_into().

1) in case of __follow_mount_rcu() failure, lookup_fast() proceeds
to call unlazy_child() and, should it succeed, handle_mounts().
Note that we have status > 0 (or we wouldn't be calling
__follow_mount_rcu() at all), so all stuff conditional upon
non-positive status won't be even touched.
Consolidate just that sequence after the call of __follow_mount_rcu().
2) calling d_is_negative() and keeping its result is pointless -
we either don't get past checking ->d_seq (and don't use the results of
d_is_negative() at all), or we are guaranteed that ->d_inode and
type bits of ->d_flags had been consistent at the time of d_is_negative()
call. IOW, we could only get to the use of its result if it's
equal to !inode. The same ->d_seq check guarantees that after that point
this CPU won't observe ->d_flags values older than ->d_inode update.
So 'negative' variable is completely pointless these days.

All callers of follow_managed() follow it on success with the same steps -
d_backing_inode(path->dentry) is calculated and stored into some struct inode *
variable and, in all but one case, an unsigned variable (nd->seq to be) is
zeroed. The single exception is lookup_fast() and there zeroing is correct
thing to do - not doing it is a pointless microoptimization.
Add a wrapper for follow_managed() that would do that combination.
It's mostly a vehicle for code massage - it will be changing quite a bit,
and the current calling conventions are by no means final. Right now it
takes path, nameidata and (as out params) inode and seq, similar to
__follow_mount_rcu(). Which will soon get folded into it...

O_CREAT | O_EXCL means "-EEXIST if we run into a trailing symlink".
As it is, we might or might not have LOOKUP_FOLLOW in op->intent
in that case - that depends upon having O_NOFOLLOW in open flags.
It doesn't matter, since we won't be checking it in that case -
do_last() bails out earlier.
However, making sure it's not set (i.e. acting as if we had an explicit
O_NOFOLLOW) makes the behaviour more explicit and allows to reorder the
check for O_CREAT | O_EXCL in do_last() with the call of step_into()

Protection against automount/automount races (two threads hitting the same
referral point at the same time) is based upon do_add_mount() prevention of
identical overmounts - trying to overmount the root of mounted tree with
the same tree fails with -EBUSY. It's unreliable (the other thread might've
mounted something on top of the automount it has triggered) *and* causes
no end of headache for follow_automount() and its caller, since
finish_automount() behaves like do_new_mount() - if the mountpoint to be is
overmounted, it mounts on top what's overmounting it. It's not only wrong
(we want to go into what's overmounting the automount point and quietly
discard what we planned to mount there), it introduces the possibility of
original parent mount getting dropped. That's what 8aef188452 (VFS: Fix
vfsmount overput on simultaneous automount) deals with, but it can't do
anything about the reliability of conflict detection - if something had
been overmounted the other thread's automount (e.g. that other thread
having stepped into automount in mount(2)), we don't get that -EBUSY and
the result is
referral point under automounted NFS under explicit overmount
under another copy of automounted NFS
What we need is finish_automount() *NOT* digging into overmounts - if it
finds one, it should just quietly discard the thing it was asked to mount.
And don't bother with actually crossing into the results of finish_automount() -
the same loop that calls follow_automount() will do that just fine on the
next iteration.
IOW, instead of calling lock_mount() have finish_automount() do it manually,
_without_ the "move into overmount and retry" part. And leave crossing into
the results to the caller of follow_automount(), which simplifies it a lot.
Moral: if you end up with a lot of glue working around the calling conventions
of something, perhaps these calling conventions are simply wrong...

Brown paperbag time: fetching ->i_uid/->i_mode really should've been
done from nd->inode. I even suggested that, but the reason for that has
slipped through the cracks and I went for dir->d_inode instead - made
for more "obvious" patch.
Analysis:
- at the entry into do_last() and all the way to step_into(): dir (aka
nd->path.dentry) is known not to have been freed; so's nd->inode and
it's equal to dir->d_inode unless we are already doomed to -ECHILD.
inode of the file to get opened is not known.
- after step_into(): inode of the file to get opened is known; dir
might be pointing to freed memory/be negative/etc.
- at the call of may_create_in_sticky(): guaranteed to be out of RCU
mode; inode of the file to get opened is known and pinned; dir might
be garbage.
The last was the reason for the original patch. Except that at the
do_last() entry we can be in RCU mode and it is possible that
nd->path.dentry->d_inode has already changed under us.
In that case we are going to fail with -ECHILD, but we need to be
careful; nd->inode is pointing to valid struct inode and it's the same
as nd->path.dentry->d_inode in "won't fail with -ECHILD" case, so we
should use that.
