 "Provide stable parent and name to -&gt;d_revalidate() instances

  Most of the filesystem methods where we care about dentry name and
  parent have their stability guaranteed by the callers;

  It's easy enough for callers to supply stable values for expected name
  and expected parent of the dentry being validated. That kills quite a
  bit of boilerplate in -&gt;d_revalidate() instances, along with a bunch
  of races where they used to access -&gt;d_name without sufficient
  precautions"

<content type='text'>
-&gt;d_revalidate() often needs to access dentry parent and name; that has
to be done carefully, since the locking environment varies from caller
to caller.  We are not guaranteed that dentry in question will not be
moved right under us - not unless the filesystem is such that nothing
on it ever gets renamed.

It can be dealt with, but that results in boilerplate code that isn't
even needed - the callers normally have just found the dentry via dcache
lookup and want to verify that it's in the right place; they already
have the values of -&gt;d_parent and -&gt;d_name stable.  There is a couple
of exceptions (overlayfs and, to less extent, ecryptfs), but for the
majority of calls that song and dance is not needed at all.

It's easier to make ecryptfs and overlayfs find and pass those values if
there's a -&gt;d_revalidate() instance to be called, rather than doing that
in the instances.

This commit only changes the calling conventions; making use of supplied
values is left to followups.

NOTE: some instances need more than just the parent - things like CIFS
may need to build an entire path from filesystem root, so they need
more precautions than the usual boilerplate.  This series doesn't
do anything to that need - these filesystems have to keep their locking
mechanisms (rename_lock loops, use of dentry_path_raw(), private rwsem
a-la v9fs).

One thing to keep in mind when using name is that name-&gt;name will normally
point into the pathname being resolved; the filename in question occupies
name-&gt;len bytes starting at name-&gt;name, and there is NUL somewhere after it,
but it the next byte might very well be '/' rather than '\0'.  Do not
ignore name-&gt;len.

Let's implement the get_device_ram() vmcore callback, so
architectures that select NEED_PROC_VMCORE_NEED_DEVICE_RAM, like s390
soon, can include that memory in a crash dump.

Merge ranges, and process ranges that might contain a mixture of plugged
and unplugged, to reduce the total number of ranges.

s390 allocates+prepares the elfcore hdr in the dump (2nd) kernel, not in
the crashed kernel.

RAM provided by memory devices such as virtio-mem can only be detected
using the device driver; when vmcore_init() is called, these device
drivers are usually not loaded yet, or the devices did not get probed
yet. Consequently, on s390 these RAM ranges will not be included in
the crash dump, which makes the dump partially corrupt and is
unfortunate.

Instead of deferring the vmcore_init() call, to an (unclear?) later point,
let's reuse the vmcore_cb infrastructure to obtain device RAM ranges as
the device drivers probe the device and get access to this information.

Then, we'll add these ranges to the vmcore, adding more PT_LOAD
entries and updating the offsets+vmcore size.

Use a separate Kconfig option to be set by an architecture to include this
code only if the arch really needs it. Further, we'll make the config
depend on the relevant drivers (i.e., virtio_mem) once they implement
support (next). The alternative of having a PROVIDE_PROC_VMCORE_DEVICE_RAM
config option was dropped for now for simplicity.

The current target use case is s390, which only creates an elf64
elfcore, so focusing on elf64 is sufficient.

These vmcore defines are not related to /proc/kcore, move them out.

We'll move "struct vmcoredd_node" to vmcore.c, because it is only used
internally. While "struct vmcore" is only used internally for now,
we're planning on using it from inline functions in crash_dump.h next,
so move it to crash_dump.h.

While at it, rename "struct vmcore" to "struct vmcore_range", which is a
more suitable name and will make the usage of it outside of vmcore.c
clearer.

Let's use "vmcore: " as a prefix, converting the single "Kdump:
vmcore not initialized" one to effectively be "vmcore: not initialized".
