vfs: take i_mutex on renamed file
Subsystems (5)
PATCH 1/1 vfs: take i_mutex on renamed file
From: "J. Bruce Fields" <[email protected]>
A read delegation is used by NFSv4 as a guarantee that a client can perform local read opens without informing the server.
The open operation takes the last component of the pathname as an argument, thus is also a lookup operation, and giving the client the above guarantee means informing the client before we allow anything that would change the set of names pointing to the inode.
Therefore, we need to break delegations on rename, link, and unlink.
We also need to prevent new delegations from being acquired while one of these operations is in progress.
We could add some completely new locking for that purpose, but it's simpler to use the i_mutex, since that's already taken by all the operations we care about.
The single exception is rename. So, modify rename to take the i_mutex on the file that is being renamed.
Also fix up lockdep and Documentation/filesystems/directory-locking to reflect the change.

PATCH 2/7 locks: introduce new FL_DELEG lock flag
In reply to J. Bruce FieldsFrom: "J. Bruce Fields" <[email protected]>
For now FL_DELEG is just a synonym for FL_LEASE. So this patch doesn't change behavior.
Next we'll modify break_lease to treat FL_DELEG leases differently, to account for the fact that NFSv4 delegations should be broken in more situations than Windows oplocks.

If it would make it any simpler: the one that I think absolutely must get wider review, and get merged through Al's tree, is "vfs: take i_mutex on renamed file".
