9p wants to be able to build a path from given dentry to fs root and keep
it valid over a blocking operation.
->s_vfs_rename_mutex would be a natural candidate, but there are places
where we need that and where we have no way to tell if ->s_vfs_rename_mutex
is already held deeper in callchain. Moreover, it's only held for
cross-directory renames; name changes within the same directory happen
without it.
Solution:
* have d_move() done in ->rename() rather than in its caller
* maintain a 9p-private rwsem (per-filesystem)
* hold it exclusive over the relevant part of ->rename()
* hold it shared over the places where we want the path.
That almost works. FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE is enough to put all d_move()
and d_exchange() calls under filesystem's control. However, there's
also __d_unalias(), which isn't covered by any of that.
If ->lookup() hits a directory inode with preexisting dentry elsewhere
(due to e.g. rename done on server behind our back), d_splice_alias()
called by ->lookup() will move/rename that alias.
Add a couple of optional methods, so that __d_unalias() would do
if alias->d_op->d_unalias_trylock != NULL
if (!alias->d_op->d_unalias_trylock(alias))
fail (resulting in -ESTALE from lookup)
__d_move(...)
if alias->d_op->d_unalias_unlock != NULL
alias->d_unalias_unlock(alias)
where it currently does __d_move(). 9p instances do down_write_trylock()
and up_write() of ->rename_mutex.

``d_revalidate``
For non-regular files, the 'dentry' argument is returned.
+``d_unalias_trylock``
+ if present, will be called by d_splice_alias() before moving a
+ preexisting attached alias. Returning false prevents __d_move(),
+ making d_splice_alias() fail with -ESTALE.
+
+ Rationale: setting FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE will prevent d_move()
+ and d_exchange() calls from the outside of filesystem methods;
+ however, it does not guarantee that attached dentries won't
+ be renamed or moved by d_splice_alias() finding a preexisting
+ alias for a directory inode. Normally we would not care;
+ however, something that wants to stabilize the entire path to
+ root over a blocking operation might need that. See 9p for one
+ (and hopefully only) example.
+
+``d_unalias_unlock``
+ should be paired with ``d_unalias_trylock``; that one is called after
+ __d_move() call in __d_unalias().
+
+
Each dentry has a pointer to its parent dentry, as well as a hash list
of child dentries. Child dentries are basically like files in a
directory.
