unionfs: better handling when copying up permissions
When we copyup a file, directory, or symlink, we may be copying up from one
file system type to another. The destination file system may not support
all of the features of the source file system, and the differences in
support may be minor. For example jffs2 doesn't allow one to chmod a
symlink (and it returns a -EOPNOTSUPP). So we ignore such harmless errors,
rather than propagating them up, which results in copyup errors and errors
returned back to users.

Unionfs: cache-coherency calls to maintain the time invariants
This patch represents several types of related changes. First, we invoke
functions to synchronize the upper and lower times as and when needed. Many
of these were bug fixes which were discovered during the development of the
cache-coherency code. That is, Unionfs itself wasn't maintaining
appropriate
times in some places, which if not fixed would have been detected by the
invariant-checking code as a false positive (incorrectly considered as if a
user modified the lower objects directly).
Second, we do not call invariant-validation functions (unionfs_check_file,
unionfs_check_dentry, etc.) until *after* we've revalidated them. Otherwise
we produced false positives.
Third, we pass a flag "willwrite" to __unionfs_d_revalidate_chain to tell it
to purge data pages if the inode lower times appear to be newer.
See Documentation/filesystems/unionfs/concepts.txt under the "Cache
Coherency" section for more details of this design and implementation.

A new function unionfs_copy_attr_times to maintain the inode time invariants
as per the Unionfs design (i.e., lower times should never be newer than our

The second function, unionfs_copy_attr_all, is the unionfs-specific function
to copy all attributes: it uses the special Unionfs handling of hard-links
(via unionfs_get_nlinks) and it uses the special a/c/mtime handling (via
unionfs_copy_attr_times). This second function is the special
fanout-version of fsstack_copy_attr_all, which was simplified for

Cache coherency: resync unionfs data/meta-data when lower files change
Whenever we revalidate a file or dentry, we check to see if any of the lower
inodes have changed (new mtime/ctime). If so, we revalidate the upper
unionfs objects. This method "works" in that as long as a user process will
have caused unionfs to be called, directly or indirectly, even to just do
->d_revalidate, then we will have purged the current unionfs data and the
process will see the new data. For example, a process that continually
re-reads the same file's data will see the NEW data as soon as the lower
file had changed, upon the next read(2) syscall. This also works for
meta-data changes which change the ctime (chmod, chown, chgrp, etc).
However, this doesn't work when the process re-reads the file's data via
mmap and the data was already read before via mmap: once we respond to
->readpage(s), then the kernel maps the page into the process's address
space and there doesn't appear to be a way to force the kernel to invalidate
those pages/mappings, and force the process to re-issue ->readpage. Note:
only pages that have already been readpage'ed are not updated; any other
pages which unionfs's ->readpage would be called on, WILL get the updated
data. If there's a way to invalidate active mappings and force a
->readpage, let us know please (invalidate_inode_pages2 doesn't do the
trick).

cleanup: convert all instances of "hidden" to "lower".
The unionfs code contained many references to symbols whose name had the
string "hidden" in it, referring to, for example, a "hidden inode" below the
unionfs inode. The term "hidden" was there for historical reasons and was a
misnomer, implying that the objects at unionfs's lower branches were somehow
hidden or unavailable. This was not just incorrect, but confusing. The
lower objects are just that: lower. They are not hidden from users. In
fact, users can 'cd' to lower branches and manipulate files directly there.

as needed to comply with coding standards.

invariants: don't complain about directories with some NULL lower objects
Directories can have NULL lower objects in between start/end, but NOT if at
the start/end range. We cannot verify that this dentry is a type=DIR,
because it may already be a negative dentry. But if dbstart is greater than
dbend, we know that this couldn't have been a regular file: it had to have
been a directory. In that case, don't complain about NULL lower objects in
in between start/end.

Don't try to mntget a lower mnt at a point where the lower mnts don't yet
exist (the callers will have them later on). Instead, get the lower mnt of
the sb->s_root.

bug fix: get lower mnt from root dentry instead of lower dentry
While copying-up a file, the union object hasn't been fully formed yet, so
we don't have all the lower dentries/mnts to use (the caller will have them
later on). Therefore, we should use the sb->s_root's lower mnt here. This
fixes a "NULL mnt" warning message that came from unionfs_mntget.
