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.

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.

Newer compilers (gcc 4.6) complains about:

For the following reason:

util/probe-finder.c:1331:18: error: the omitted middle operand in ?: will always be ‘true’, suggest explicit middle operand [-Werror=parentheses]
And indeed the return value is a somewhat obscure (but correct) value
of 'true', so return 'ret' instead - this is cleaner and unconfuses

rdma_destroy_id currently uses the global rdma cm 'lock' to test if an
rdma_cm_id has been bound to a device. This prevents an active
address resolution callback handler from assigning a device to the
rdma_cm_id after rdma_destroy_id checks for one.
Instead, we can replace the use of the global lock around the check to
the rdma_cm_id device pointer by setting the id state to destroying,
then flushing all active callbacks. The latter is accomplished by
acquiring and releasing the handler_mutex. Any active handler will
complete first, and any newly scheduled handlers will find the
rdma_cm_id in an invalid state.
In addition to optimizing the current locking scheme, the use of the
rdma_cm_id mutex is a more intuitive synchronization mechanism than
that of the global lock. These changes are based on feedback from
Doug Ledford <dledford@redhat.com> while he was trying to debug a
crash in the rdma cm destroy path.

This problem was reported by Moni Shoua <monis@mellanox.com> and Amir
Vadai <amirv@mellanox.com>:
When destroying a cm_id from a context of a work queue and if
the lap_state of this cm_id is IB_CM_LAP_SENT, we need to
release the reference of this id that was taken upon the send
of the LAP message. Otherwise, if the expected APR message
gets lost, it is only after a long time that the reference
will be released, while during that the work handler thread is
not available to process other things.
It turns out that we need to cancel any pending LAP messages whenever
we transition out of the IB_CM_ESTABLISH state. This occurs when
disconnecting - either sending or receiving a DREQ. It can also
happen in a corner case where we receive a REJ message after sending
an RTU, followed by a LAP. Add checks and cancel any outstanding LAP
messages in these three cases.
Canceling the LAP when sending a DREQ fixes the destroy problem
reported by Moni. When a cm_id is destroyed in the IB_CM_ESTABLISHED
state, it sends a DREQ to the remote side to notify the peer that the
connection is going away.

When processing a SIDR REQ, the ib_cm allocates a new cm_id. The
refcount of the cm_id is initialized to 1. However, cm_process_work
will decrement the refcount after invoking all callbacks. The result
is that the cm_id will end up with refcount set to 0 by the end of the
sidr req handler.
If a user tries to destroy the cm_id, the destruction will proceed,
under the incorrect assumption that no other threads are referencing
the cm_id. This can lead to a crash when the cm callback thread tries
to access the cm_id.
This problem was noticed as part of a larger investigation with kernel
crashes in the rdma_cm when running on a real time OS.

They were able to reproduce the crash multiple times with the
following details:
Crash seems to always happen on the:
mutex_unlock(&conn_id->handler_mutex);
as conn_id looks to have been freed during this code path.
An examination of the code shows that a race exists in the request
handlers. When a new connection request is received, the rdma_cm
allocates a new connection identifier. This identifier has a single
reference count on it. If a user calls rdma_destroy_id() from another
thread after receiving a callback, rdma_destroy_id will proceed to
destroy the id and free the associated memory. However, the request
handlers may still be in the process of running. When control returns
to the request handlers, they can attempt to access the newly created
identifiers.
Fix this by holding a reference on the newly created rdma_cm_id until
the request handler is through accessing it.

Intel Archiecture Software Developer's Manual section 7.1.3 specifies that a
core serializing instruction such as "cpuid" should be executed on _each_ core
before the new instruction is made visible.
Failure to do so can lead to unspecified behavior (Intel XMC erratas include
General Protection Fault in the list), so we should avoid this at all cost.
This problem can affect modified code executed by interrupt handlers after
interrupt are re-enabled at the end of stop_machine, because no core serializing
instruction is executed between the code modification and the moment interrupts
are reenabled.
Because stop_machine_text_poke performs the text modification from the first CPU
decrementing stop_machine_first, modified code executed in thread context is
also affected by this problem. To explain why, we have to split the CPUs in two
categories: the CPU that initiates the text modification (calls text_poke_smp)
and all the others. The scheduler, executed on all other CPUs after
stop_machine, issues an "iret" core serializing instruction, and therefore
handles core serialization for all these CPUs. However, the text modification
initiator can continue its execution on the same thread and access the modified
text without any scheduler call. Given that the CPU that initiates the code
modification is not guaranteed to be the one actually performing the code
modification, it falls into the XMC errata.
Q: Isn't this executed from an IPI handler, which will return with IRET (a
serializing instruction) anyway?
A: No, now stop_machine uses per-cpu workqueue, so that handler will be
executed from worker threads. There is no iret anymore.
