      posix_acl: Inode acl caching fixes · b8a7a3a6
      Andreas Gruenbacher authored
      
      When get_acl() is called for an inode whose ACL is not cached yet, the
      get_acl inode operation is called to fetch the ACL from the filesystem.
      The inode operation is responsible for updating the cached acl with
      set_cached_acl().  This is done without locking at the VFS level, so
      another task can call set_cached_acl() or forget_cached_acl() before the
      get_acl inode operation gets to calling set_cached_acl(), and then
      get_acl's call to set_cached_acl() results in caching an outdate ACL.
      
      Prevent this from happening by setting the cached ACL pointer to a
      task-specific sentinel value before calling the get_acl inode operation.
      Move the responsibility for updating the cached ACL from the get_acl
      inode operations to get_acl().  There, only set the cached ACL if the
      sentinel value hasn't changed.
      
      The sentinel values are chosen to have odd values.  Likewise, the value
      of ACL_NOT_CACHED is odd.  In contrast, ACL object pointers always have
      an even value (ACLs are aligned in memory).  This allows to distinguish
      uncached ACLs values from ACL objects.
      
      In addition, switch from guarding inode->i_acl and inode->i_default_acl
      upates by the inode->i_lock spinlock to using xchg() and cmpxchg().
      
      Filesystems that do not want ACLs returned from their get_acl inode
      operations to be cached must call forget_cached_acl() to prevent the VFS
      from doing so.

      9p: xattr simplifications · e409de99
      Andreas Gruenbacher authored
      
      Now that the xattr handler is passed to the xattr handler operations, we
      can use the same get and set operations for the user, trusted, and security
      xattr namespaces.  In those namespaces, we can access the full attribute
      name by "reattaching" the name prefix the vfs has skipped for us.  Add a
      xattr_full_name helper to make this obvious in the code.
      
      For the "system.posix_acl_access" and "system.posix_acl_default"
      attributes, handler->prefix is the full attribute name; the suffix is the
      empty string.

      xattr handlers: Pass handler to operations instead of flags · d9a82a04
      Andreas Gruenbacher authored
      
      The xattr_handler operations are currently all passed a file system
      specific flags value which the operations can use to disambiguate between
      different handlers; some file systems use that to distinguish the xattr
      namespace, for example.  In some oprations, it would be useful to also have
      access to the handler prefix.  To allow that, pass a pointer to the handler
      to operations instead of the flags value alone.

      userns: Pass a userns parameter into posix_acl_to_xattr and posix_acl_from_xattr · 5f3a4a28
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      
       - Pass the user namespace the uid and gid values in the xattr are stored
         in into posix_acl_from_xattr.
      
       - Pass the user namespace kuid and kgid values should be converted into
         when storing uid and gid values in an xattr in posix_acl_to_xattr.
      
      - Modify all callers of posix_acl_from_xattr and posix_acl_to_xattr to
        pass in &init_user_ns.
      
      In the short term this change is not strictly needed but it makes the
      code clearer.  In the longer term this change is necessary to be able to
      mount filesystems outside of the initial user namespace that natively
      store posix acls in the linux xattr format.
