[PATCH 07/10] [vfs] replace ->follow_link() with new method that could stay in RCU mode

From: Al Viro
Date: Tue Nov 17 2015 - 18:04:06 EST


From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

new method: ->get_link(); replacement of ->follow_link(). The differences
are:
* inode and dentry are passed separately
* might be called both in RCU and non-RCU mode;
the former is indicated by passing it a NULL dentry.
* when called that way it isn't allowed to block
and should return ERR_PTR(-ECHILD) if it needs to be called
in non-RCU mode.

It's a flagday change - the old method is gone, all in-tree instances
converted. Conversion isn't hard; said that, so far very few instances
do not immediately bail out when called in RCU mode. That'll change
in the next commits.
