If the client holds no more writeable open state, and does not hold a
write delegation, then send a layoutreturn as part of the OPEN_DOWNGRADE.
We do this only for writes, since some layout drivers may require you to
also hold a read layout if you are doing a R/W workload.

While we do not need to return the RW layout when downgrading from a
read/write open state to read-only, we might want to do so in order
to reduce the burden on the metadataserver so that it does not need
to check for changed data when responding to GETATTR requests.

When an NFS4ERR_BAD_SEQID is received the open-owner is removed from
the ->state_owners rbtree so that it will no longer be used.
If any stateids attached to this open-owner are still in use, and if a
request using one gets an NFS4ERR_BAD_STATEID reply, this can for bad.
The state is marked as needing recovery and the nfs4_state_manager()
is scheduled to clean up. nfs4_state_manager() finds states to be
recovered by walking the state_owners rbtree. As the open-owner is
not in the rbtree, the bad state is not found so nfs4_state_manager()
completes having done nothing. The request is then retried, with a
predicatable result (indefinite retries).
If the stateid is for a delegation, this open_owner will be used
to open files when the delegation is returned. For that to work,
a new open-owner needs to be presented to the server.
This patch changes NFS4ERR_BAD_SEQID handling to leave the open-owner
in the rbtree but updates the 'create_time' so it looks like a new
open-owner. With this the indefinite retries no longer happen.

If a file has both flock locks and OFD locks, then it is possible that
two different nfs4 lock states could apply to file accesses from a
single process.
It is not possible to know, efficiently, which one is "correct".
Presumably the state which represents a lock that covers the region
undergoing IO would be the "correct" one to use, but finding that has
a non-trivial cost and would provide miniscule value.
Currently we just return whichever is first in the list, which could
result in inconsistent behaviour if an application ever put it self in
this position. As consistent behaviour is preferable (when perfectly
correct behaviour is not available), change the search to return a
consistent result in this circumstance.
Specifically: if there is both a flock and OFD lock state, always return
the flock one.

Various places assume that if nfs4_fl_prepare_ds() turns a non-NULL 'ds',
then ds->ds_clp will also be non-NULL.
This is not necessasrily true in the case when the process received a fatal signal
while nfs4_pnfs_ds_connect is waiting in nfs4_wait_ds_connect().
In that case ->ds_clp may not be set, and the devid may not recently have been marked
unavailable.
So add a test for ds_clp == NULL and return NULL in that case.

If we successfully updated the change attribute, we should timestamp the
cache. While we do know that the other attributes are not completely up
to date, we have the NFS_INO_INVALID_ATTR flag that let us know that,
so it is valid to say that the cache has not timed out.
We can also clear NFS_INO_REVAL_PAGECACHE, since our change attribute
is now known to be valid.
Conversely, if the change attribute did not match, we should make sure to
also revalidate the access and ACL caches.

Pull quota, fsnotify and ext2 updates from Jan Kara:
"Changes to locking of some quota operations from dedicated quota mutex
to s_umount semaphore, a fsnotify fix and a simple ext2 fix"
* 'for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jack/linux-fs:

|

dquot_disable() was warning when sb_has_quota_loaded() was true when
invalidating page cache for quota files. The thinking behind this
warning was that we must have raced with somebody else turning quotas on
and this should not happen because all places modifying quota state must
hold s_umount exclusively now. However sb_has_quota_loaded() can be also
true at this point when we are just suspending quotas on remount
read-only. Just restore the behavior to situation before commit
c3b004460d77 ("quota: Remove dqonoff_mutex") which introduced the
warning.
The code in dquot_disable() can be further simplified with the new
locking of quota state changes however let's leave that to a separate
commit that can get more testing exposure.

FWIW, there's a bit of abuse of struct kstat in overlayfs object
creation paths - for one thing, it ends up with a very small subset
of struct kstat (mode + rdev), for another it also needs link in
case of symlinks and ends up passing it separately.
IMO it would be better to introduce a separate object for that.
In principle, we might even lift that thing into general API and switch
->mkdir()/->mknod()/->symlink() to identical calling conventions. Hell

Before introducing redirect_dir feature, the condition
!ovl_lower_positive(dentry) for a directory, implied that it is a pure
upper directory, which may be removed if empty.
Now that directory can be redirect, it is possible that upper does not
cover any lower (i.e. !ovl_lower_positive(dentry)), but the directory is a
merge (with redirected path) and maybe non empty.
Check for this case in ovl_remove_upper().

Current code returns EXDEV when a directory would need to be copied up to
move. We could copy up the directory tree in this case, but there's
another, simpler solution: point to old lower directory from moved upper
directory.
This is achieved with a "trusted.overlay.redirect" xattr storing the path
relative to the root of the overlay. After such attribute has been set,
the directory can be moved without further actions required.
This is a backward incompatible feature, old kernels won't be able to
correctly mount an overlay containing redirected directories.

If a directory has the "trusted.overlay.redirect" xattr, it means that the
value of the xattr should be used to find the underlying directory on the
next lower layer.
The redirect may be relative or absolute. Absolute redirects begin with a
slash.
A relative redirect means: instead of the current dentry's name use the
value of the redirect to find the directory in the next lower
layer. Relative redirects must not contain a slash.
An absolute redirect means: look up the directory relative to the root of
the overlay using the value of the redirect in the next lower layer.
Redirects work on lower layers as well.

When the upper overlayfs checks "trusted.overlay.*" xattr on the underlying
overlayfs mount, it gets -EPERM, which confuses the upper overlayfs.
Fix this by returning -EOPNOTSUPP instead of -EPERM from
ovl_own_xattr_get() and ovl_own_xattr_set(). This behavior is consistent
with the behavior of ovl_listxattr(), which filters out the private
overlayfs xattrs.
Note: nested overlays are deprecated. But this change makes sense
regardless: these xattrs are private to the overlay and should always be
hidden. Hence getting and setting them should indicate this.
[SzMi: Use EOPNOTSUPP instead of ENODATA and use it for both getting and
setting "trusted.overlay." xattrs. This is a perfectly valid error code
for "we don't support this prefix", which is the case here.]

Check if something exists on the lower layer(s) under the target or rename
to decide if directory needs to be marked "opaque".
Marking opaque is done before the rename, and on failure the marking was
undone. Also the opaque xattr was removed if the target didn't cover
anything.
This patch changes behavior so that removal of "opaque" is not done in
either of the above cases. This means that directory may have the opaque
flag even if it doesn't cover anything. However this shouldn't affect the
performance or semantics of the overalay, while simplifying the code.

Currently ovl_lookup() checks existence of lower file even if there's a
non-directory on upper (which is always opaque). This is done so that
remove can decide whether a whiteout is needed or not.
It would be better to defer this check to unlink, since most of the time
the gathered information about opaqueness will be unused.
This adds a helper ovl_lower_positive() that checks if there's anything on
the lower layer(s).
The following patches also introduce changes to how the "opaque" attribute
is updated on directories: this attribute is added when the directory is
creted or moved over a whiteout or object covering something on the lower
layer. However following changes will allow the attribute to remain on the
directory after being moved, even if the new location doesn't cover
anything. Because of this, we need to check lower layers even for opaque
directories, so that whiteout is only created when necessary.
This function will later be also used to decide about marking a directory
opaque, so deal with negative dentries as well. When dealing with
negative, it's enough to check for being a whiteout
If the dentry is positive but not upper then it also obviously needs
whiteout/opaque.
