From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.com>

Some filesystems can support parallel modifications to a directory,
either because the modification happen on a remote server which does its
own locking (e.g.  NFS) or because they can internally lock just a part
of a directory (e.g.  many local filesystems, with a bit of work - the
lustre project has patches for ext4 to support concurrent updates).

To allow this, we introduce VFS support for parallel modification:
unlink (including rmdir) and create.  Parallel rename is added in a
later patch.

If a filesystem supports parallel modification in a given directory, it
sets S_PAR_UPDATE on the inode for that directory.  lookup_open() and
the new lookup_hash_update() notice the flag and take a shared lock on
the directory, and rely on a lock-bit in d_flags, much like parallel
lookup relies on DCACHE_PAR_LOOKUP.

__lookup_hash() is enhanced to use d_alloc_parallel() if it was told
that a shared lock was taken - by being given a non-NULL *wq.

The new DCACHE_PAR_UPDATE is the most significant bit in d_flags, so we
have nearly run out of flags.  0x08000000 is still unused ....  for now.

Once a dentry for the target name has been obtained, DCACHE_PAR_UPDATE
is set on it, waiting if necessary if it is already set.  Once this is
set, the thread has exclusive access to the name and can call into the
filesystem to perform the required action.

We use wait_var_event() to wait for DCACHE_PAR_UPDATE to be cleared rather
than trying to overload the wq used for DCACHE_PAR_LOOKUP.

Some filesystems do *not* complete the lookup that precedes a create,
but leave the dentry d_in_lookup() and unhashed, so often a dentry will
have both DCACHE_PAR_LOOKUP and DCACHE_PAR_UPDATE set at the same time.
To allow for this, we need the 'wq' that is passed to d_alloc_parallel()
(and used when DCACHE_PAR_LOOKUP is cleared), to continue to exist until
the creation is complete, which may be after filename_create()
completes.  So a wq now needs to be passed to filename_create() when
parallel modification is attempted.

Waiting for DCACHE_PAR_UPDATE can sometimes result in the dentry
changing - either through unlink or rename.  This requires that the
lookup be retried.  This in turn requires that the wq be reused.  The
use for DECLARE_WAITQUEUE() in d_wait_lookup() and the omission of
remove_wait_queue() means that after the wake_up_all() in
__d_lookup_down(), the wait_queue_head list will be undefined.  So we
change d_wait_lookup() to use DEFINE_WAIT(), so that
autoremove_wake_function() is used for wakeups, and the wait_queue_head
remains well defined.
