When BSD process accounting is enabled and logs information to a
filesystem which gets frozen, system easily becomes unusable because
each attempt to account process information blocks. Thus e.g. every task
gets blocked in exit.
It seems better to drop accounting information (which can already happen
when filesystem is running out of space) instead of locking system up.
So we just skip the write if the filesystem is frozen.

Pull vfs pile (part one) from Al Viro:
"Assorted stuff - cleaning namei.c up a bit, fixing ->d_name/->d_parent
locking violations, etc.
The most visible changes here are death of FS_REVAL_DOT (replaced with
"has ->d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file
to inode. Some bits of preparation to xattr method interface changes.
Misc patches by various people sent this cycle *and* ocfs2 fixes from
several cycles ago that should've been upstream right then.
PS: the next vfs pile will be xattr stuff."

struct filename on the stack and fill out the .name field. For
do_filp_open, make it also take a struct filename pointer, and fix up its
callers to call it appropriately.
For filp_open, add a variant that takes a struct filename pointer and turn
filp_open into a wrapper around it.

getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.
For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.
This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.
Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.

BSD process accounting conveniently passes the file the accounting
records will be written into to do_acct_process. The file credentials
captured the user namespace of the opener of the file. Use the file
credentials to format the uid and the gid of the current process into
the user namespace of the user that started the bsd process
accounting.

We'll need the path to implement the flags field for statvfs support.
We do have it available in all callers except:
- ecryptfs_statfs. This one doesn't actually need vfs_statfs but just
needs to do a caller to the lower filesystem statfs method.
- sys_ustat. Add a non-exported statfs_by_dentry helper for it which
doesn't won't be able to fill out the flags field later on.
In addition rename the helpers for statfs vs fstatfs to do_*statfs instead
of the misleading vfs prefix.

When process accounting is enabled, every exiting process writes a log to
the account file. In addition, every once in a while one of the exiting
processes checks whether there's enough free space for the log.
SELinux policy may or may not allow the exiting process to stat the fs.
So unsuspecting processes start generating AVC denials just because
someone enabled process accounting.
For these filesystem operations, the exiting process's credentials should
be temporarily switched to that of the process which enabled accounting,
because it's really that process which wanted to have the accounting
information logged.

Record file->f_path.mnt in a local variable and use this variable only.

Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from
the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds.
Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id().
Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id(). In some places it makes more
sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be
addressed by later patches.
