e782ef7109 [fs/9P] Add posixacl mount option
The mount option access=client is overloaded as it assumes acl too.
Adding posixacl option to enable POSIX ACLs makes it explicit and clear.
Also it is convenient in the future to add other types of acls like richacls.

Ideally, the access mode 'client' should be just like V9FS_ACCESS_USER
except it underscores the location of access check.
Traditional 9P protocol lets the server perform access checks but with
this mode, all the access checks will be performed on the client itself.
Server just follows the client's directive.

a49fb4c3d0 exofs: deprecate the commands pending counter
One leftover from the days of IBM's original code, is an SB counter
that counts in-flight asynchronous commands. And a piece of code that
waits for the counter to reach zero at unmount. I guess it might have
been needed then, cause of some reference missing or something.

I'm not removing it yet but am putting a warning message if ever this
counter triggers at unmount. If I'll never see it triggers or reported
I'll remove the counter for good.
(I had this print as a debug output for a long time and never had it
 trigger)

1cea312ad4 exofs: Write sbi->s_nextid as part of the Create command
Before when creating a new inode, we'd set the sb->s_dirt flag,
and sometime later the system would write out s_nextid as part
of the sb_info. Also on inode sync we would force the sb sync
as well.

Define the s_nextid as a new partition attribute and set it
every time we create a new object.
At mount we read it from it's new place.

We now never set sb->s_dirt anywhere in exofs. write_super
is actually never called. The call to exofs_write_super from
exofs_put_super is also removed because the VFS always calls
->sync_fs before calling ->put_super twice.

To stay backward-and-forward compatible we also write the old
s_nextid in the super_block object at unmount, and support zero
length attribute on mount.

This also fixes a BUG where in layouts when group_width was not
a divisor of EXOFS_SUPER_ID (0x10000) the s_nextid was not read
from the device it was written to. Because of the sliding window
layout trick, and because the read was always done from the 0
device but the write was done via the raid engine that might slide
the device view. Now we read and write through the raid engine.

97178b7b6c exofs: simple fsync race fix
It is incorrect to test inode dirty bits without participating in the inode
writeback protocol. Inode writeback sets I_SYNC and clears I_DIRTY_?, then
writes out the particular bits, then clears I_SYNC when it is done. BTW. it
may not completely write all pages out, so I_DIRTY_PAGES would get set
again.

This is a standard pattern used throughout the kernel's writeback caches
(I_SYNC ~= I_WRITEBACK, if that makes it clearer).

And so it is not possible to determine an inode's dirty status just by
checking I_DIRTY bits. Especially not for the purpose of data integrity
syncs.

Missing the check for these bits means that fsync can complete while
writeback to the inode is underway. Inode writeback functions get this
right, so call into them rather than try to shortcut things by testing
dirty state improperly.

65cfc67223 readlinkat(), fchownat() and fstatat() with empty relative pathnames
For readlinkat() we simply allow empty pathname; it will fail unless
we have dfd equal to O_PATH-opened symlink, so we are outside of
POSIX scope here.  For fchownat() and fstatat() we allow AT_EMPTY_PATH;
let the caller explicitly ask for such behaviour.

bcda76524c Allow O_PATH for symlinks
At that point we can't do almost nothing with them.  They can be opened
with O_PATH, we can manipulate such descriptors with dup(), etc. and
we can see them in /proc/*/{fd,fdinfo}/*.

We can't (and won't be able to) follow /proc/*/fd/* symlinks for those;
there's simply not enough information for pathname resolution to go on
from such point - to resolve a symlink we need to know which directory
does it live in.

We will be able to do useful things with them after the next commit, though -
readlinkat() and fchownat() will be possible to use with dfd being an
O_PATH-opened symlink and empty relative pathname.  Combined with
open_by_handle() it'll give us a way to do realink-by-handle and
lchown-by-handle without messing with more redundant syscalls.

1abf0c718f New kind of open files - "location only".
New flag for open(2) - O_PATH.  Semantics:
	* pathname is resolved, but the file itself is _NOT_ opened
as far as filesystem is concerned.
	* almost all operations on the resulting descriptors shall
fail with -EBADF.  Exceptions are:
	1) operations on descriptors themselves (i.e.
		close(), dup(), dup2(), dup3(), fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD),
		fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC, ...), fcntl(fd, F_GETFD),
		fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, ...))
	2) fcntl(fd, F_GETFL), for a common non-destructive way to
		check if descriptor is open
	3) "dfd" arguments of ...at(2) syscalls, i.e. the starting
		points of pathname resolution
	* closing such descriptor does *NOT* affect dnotify or
posix locks.
	* permissions are checked as usual along the way to file;
no permission checks are applied to the file itself.  Of course,
giving such thing to syscall will result in permission checks (at
the moment it means checking that starting point of ....at() is
a directory and caller has exec permissions on it).

fget() and fget_light() return NULL on such descriptors; use of
fget_raw() and fget_raw_light() is needed to get them.  That protects
existing code from dealing with those things.

There are two things still missing (they come in the next commits):
one is handling of symlinks (right now we refuse to open them that
way; see the next commit for semantics related to those) and another
is descriptor passing via SCM_RIGHTS datagrams.
