/* [Feb-1997 T. Schoebel-Theuer]
 * Fundamental changes in the pathname lookup mechanisms (namei)
 * were necessary because of omirr.  The reason is that omirr needs
 * to know the _real_ pathname, not the user-supplied one, in case
 * of symlinks (and also when transname replacements occur).
 *
 * The new code replaces the old recursive symlink resolution with
 * an iterative one (in case of non-nested symlink chains).  It does
 * this with calls to <fs>_follow_link().
 * As a side effect, dir_namei(), _namei() and follow_link() are now 
 * replaced with a single function lookup_dentry() that can handle all 
 * the special cases of the former code.
 *
 * With the new dcache, the pathname is stored at each inode, at least as
 * long as the refcount of the inode is positive.  As a side effect, the
 * size of the dcache depends on the inode cache and thus is dynamic.
 *
 * [29-Apr-1998 C. Scott Ananian] Updated above description of symlink
 * resolution to correspond with current state of the code.
 *
 * Note that the symlink resolution is not *completely* iterative.
 * There is still a significant amount of tail- and mid- recursion in
 * the algorithm.  Also, note that <fs>_readlink() is not used in
 * lookup_dentry(): lookup_dentry() on the result of <fs>_readlink()
 * may return different results than <fs>_follow_link().  Many virtual
 * filesystems (including /proc) exhibit this behavior.
 */

/* [24-Feb-97 T. Schoebel-Theuer] Side effects caused by new implementation:
 * New symlink semantics: when open() is called with flags O_CREAT | O_EXCL
 * and the name already exists in form of a symlink, try to create the new
 * name indicated by the symlink. The old code always complained that the
 * name already exists, due to not following the symlink even if its target
 * is nonexistent.  The new semantics affects also mknod() and link() when
 * the name is a symlink pointing to a non-existant name.
 *
 * I don't know which semantics is the right one, since I have no access
 * to standards. But I found by trial that HP-UX 9.0 has the full "new"
 * semantics implemented, while SunOS 4.1.1 and Solaris (SunOS 5.4) have the
 * "old" one. Personally, I think the new semantics is much more logical.
 * Note that "ln old new" where "new" is a symlink pointing to a non-existing
 * file does succeed in both HP-UX and SunOs, but not in Solaris
 * and in the old Linux semantics.
 */

/* [16-Dec-97 Kevin Buhr] For security reasons, we change some symlink
 * semantics.  See the comments in "open_namei" and "do_link" below.
 *
 * [10-Sep-98 Alan Modra] Another symlink change.
 */

/* [Feb-Apr 2000 AV] Complete rewrite. Rules for symlinks:
 *      inside the path - always follow.
 *      in the last component in creation/removal/renaming - never follow.
 *      if LOOKUP_FOLLOW passed - follow.
 *      if the pathname has trailing slashes - follow.
 *      otherwise - don't follow.
 * (applied in that order).
 *
 * [Jun 2000 AV] Inconsistent behaviour of open() in case if flags==O_CREAT
 * restored for 2.4. This is the last surviving part of old 4.2BSD bug.
 * During the 2.4 we need to fix the userland stuff depending on it -
 * hopefully we will be able to get rid of that wart in 2.5. So far only
 * XEmacs seems to be relying on it...
 */
/*
 * [Sep 2001 AV] Single-semaphore locking scheme (kudos to David Holland)
 * implemented.  Let's see if raised priority of ->s_vfs_rename_mutex gives
 * any extra contention...

/* In order to reduce some races, while at the same time doing additional
 * checking and hopefully speeding things up, we copy filenames to the
 * kernel data space before using them..

/*
 * The worst of all namespace operations - renaming directory. "Perverted"
 * doesn't even start to describe it. Somebody in UCB had a heck of a trip...
 * Problems:
 *      a) we can get into loop creation. Check is done in is_subdir().
 *      b) race potential - two innocent renames can create a loop together.
 *         That's where 4.4 screws up. Current fix: serialization on
 *         sb->s_vfs_rename_mutex. We might be more accurate, but that's another
 *         story.
 *      c) we have to lock _three_ objects - parents and victim (if it exists).
 *         And that - after we got ->i_mutex on parents (until then we don't know
 *         whether the target exists).  Solution: try to be smart with locking
 *         order for inodes.  We rely on the fact that tree topology may change
 *         only under ->s_vfs_rename_mutex _and_ that parent of the object we
 *         move will be locked.  Thus we can rank directories by the tree
 *         (ancestors first) and rank all non-directories after them.
 *         That works since everybody except rename does "lock parent, lookup,
 *         lock child" and rename is under ->s_vfs_rename_mutex.
 *         HOWEVER, it relies on the assumption that any object with ->lookup()
 *         has no more than 1 dentry.  If "hybrid" objects will ever appear,
 *         we'd better make sure that there's no link(2) for them.
 *      d) some filesystems don't support opened-but-unlinked directories,
 *         either because of layout or because they are not ready to deal with
 *         all cases correctly. The latter will be fixed (taking this sort of
 *         stuff into VFS), but the former is not going away. Solution: the same
 *         trick as in rmdir().
 *      e) conversion from fhandle to dentry may come in the wrong moment - when
 *         we are removing the target. Solution: we will have to grab ->i_mutex
 *         in the fhandle_to_dentry code. [FIXME - current nfsfh.c relies on
 *         ->i_mutex on parents, which works but leads to some truly excessive
 *         locking].
