Have it nested inside ->i_mutex. Instead of using follow_down()
under namespace_sem, followed by grabbing i_mutex and checking that
mountpoint to be is not dead, do the following:
grab i_mutex
check that it's not dead
grab namespace_sem
see if anything is mounted there
if not, we've won
otherwise
drop locks
put_path on what we had
replace with what's mounted
retry everything with new mountpoint to be
New helper (lock_mount()) does that. do_add_mount(), do_move_mount(),
do_loopback() and pivot_root() switched to it; in case of the last
two that eliminates a race we used to have - original code didn't
do follow_down().

Don't hold vfsmount_lock over the loop traversing ->mnt_parent;
do check_mnt(new.mnt) under namespace_sem instead; combined with
namespace_sem held over all that code it'll guarantee the stability
of ->mnt_parent chain all the way to the root.
Doing check_mnt() outside of namespace_sem in case of pivot_root()
is wrong anyway.

It turns out that while a maximum of 8 partitions may be what people
"should" have had, you can actually fit up to 18 entries(*) in a sector.
And some people clearly were taking advantage of that, like Michael
Cree, who had ten partitions on one of his OSF disks.
(*) The OSF partition data starts at byte offset 64 in the first sector,
and the array of 16-byte partition entries start at offset 148 in
the on-disk partition structure.

iprune_sem is continously giving us lockdep warnings because we do take it in
read mode in the reclaim path, but we're also doing non-NOFS allocations under
it taken in write mode.
Taking a bit deeper look at it I think it's fixable quite trivially:
- for invalidate_inodes we do not need iprune_sem at all. We have an active
reference on the superblock, so the filesystem is not going away until it
has finished.
- for evict_inodes we do need it, to make sure prune_icache has done it's
work before we tear down the superblock. But there is no reason to
hold it over the actual reclaim operation - it's enough to cycle through
it after the actual reclaim to make sure we wait for any pending
prune_icache to complete. We just have to remove the WARN_ON for
otherwise busy inodes as they can actually happen now.

The new vfs locking scheme introduced in 2.6.38 breaks NFS sillyrename
because the latter relies on being able to determine the parent
directory of the dentry in the ->iput() callback in order to send the
appropriate unlink rpc call.
Looking at the code that cares about races with dput(), there doesn't
seem to be anything that specifically uses d_parent as a test for
whether or not there is a race:
- __d_lookup_rcu(), __d_lookup() all test for d_hashed() after d_parent
- shrink_dcache_for_umount() is safe since nothing else can rearrange
the dentries in that super block.
- have_submount(), select_parent() and d_genocide() can test for a
deletion if we set the DCACHE_DISCONNECTED flag when the dentry
is removed from the parent's d_subdirs list.

The last remaining place (resolution of nested symlink) converted
to the loop of the same kind we have in path_lookupat() and
path_openat().
Note that we still *do* have a recursion in pathname resolution;
can't avoid it, really. However, it's strictly for nested symlinks
now - i.e. ones in the middle of a pathname.
link_path_walk() has lost the tail now - it always walks everything
except the last component.
do_follow_link() renamed to nested_symlink() and moved down.
Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
Now that link_path_walk() is called without LOOKUP_PARENT
only from do_follow_link(), we can simplify the checks in
last component handling. First of all, checking if we'd
arrived to a directory is not needed - the caller will check
it anyway. And LOOKUP_FOLLOW is guaranteed to be there,
since we only get to that place with nd->depth > 0.
