Previously there was an additional check if variable pos is not null.
However, this check happens after entering while loop and only then,
which can happen only if pos is not null.
Therefore the additional check is redundant and can be removed.

Pull vfs d_inode/d_flags memory ordering fixes from Al Viro:
 "Fallout from tree-wide audit for -&gt;d_inode/-&gt;d_flags barriers use.
  Basically, the problem is that negative pinned dentries require
  careful treatment - unless -&gt;d_lock is locked or parent is held at
  least shared, another thread can make them positive right under us.

  Most of the uses turned out to be safe - the main surprises as far as
  filesystems are concerned were

   - race in dget_parent() fastpath, that might end up with the caller
     observing the returned dentry _negative_, due to insufficient
     barriers. It is positive in memory, but we could end up seeing the
     wrong value of -&gt;d_inode in CPU cache. Fixed.

   - manual checks that result of lookup_one_len_unlocked() is positive
     (and rejection of negatives). Again, insufficient barriers (we
     might end up with inconsistent observed values of -&gt;d_inode and
     -&gt;d_flags). Fixed by switching to a new primitive that does the
     checks itself and returns ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) instead of a negative
     dentry. That way we get rid of boilerplate converting negatives
     into ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) in the callers and have a single place to
     deal with the barrier-related mess - inside fs/namei.c rather than
     in every caller out there.

  The guts of pathname resolution *do* need to be careful - the race
  found by Ritesh is real, as well as several similar races.
  Fortunately, it turns out that we can take care of that with fairly
  local changes in there.

  The tree-wide audit had not been fun, and I hate the idea of repeating
  it. I think the right approach would be to annotate the places where
  we are _not_ guaranteed -&gt;d_inode/-&gt;d_flags stability and have sparse
  catch regressions. But I'm still not sure what would be the least
  invasive way of doing that and it's clearly the next cycle fodder"

* 'fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  fs/namei.c: fix missing barriers when checking positivity

 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - A comprehensive rewrite of the robust/PI futex code's exit handling
     to fix various exit races. (Thomas Gleixner et al)

   - Rework the generic REFCOUNT_FULL implementation using
     atomic_fetch_* operations so that the performance impact of the
     cmpxchg() loops is mitigated for common refcount operations.

     With these performance improvements the generic implementation of
     refcount_t should be good enough for everybody - and this got
     confirmed by performance testing, so remove ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT and
     REFCOUNT_FULL entirely, leaving the generic implementation enabled
     unconditionally. (Will Deacon)

Most of the callers of lookup_one_len_unlocked() treat negatives are
ERR_PTR(-ENOENT).  Provide a helper that would do just that.  Note
that a pinned positive dentry remains positive - it's -&gt;d_inode is
stable, etc.; a pinned _negative_ dentry can become positive at any
point as long as you are not holding its parent at least shared.
So using lookup_one_len_unlocked() needs to be careful;
lookup_positive_unlocked() is safer and that's what the callers
end up open-coding anyway.

<title>kernfs: use 64bit inos if ino_t is 64bit</title>

<id>urn:sha1:40430452fd5da1509177ac597b394614cd3a121f</id>
<content type='text'>
Each kernfs_node is identified with a 64bit ID.  The low 32bit is
exposed as ino and the high gen.  While this already allows using inos
as keys by looking up with wildcard generation number of 0, it's
adding unnecessary complications for 64bit ino archs which can
directly use kernfs_node IDs as inos to uniquely identify each cgroup
instance.

This patch exposes IDs directly as inos on 64bit ino archs.  The
conversion is mostly straight-forward.

* 32bit ino archs behave the same as before.  64bit ino archs now use
  the whole 64bit ID as ino and the generation number is fixed at 1.

* 64bit inos still use the same idr allocator which gurantees that the
  lower 32bits identify the current live instance uniquely and the
  high 32bits are incremented whenever the low bits wrap.  As the
  upper 32bits are no longer used as gen and we don't wanna start ino
  allocation with 33rd bit set, the initial value for highbits
  allocation is changed to 0 on 64bit ino archs.

* blktrace exposes two 32bit numbers - (INO,GEN) pair - to identify
  the issuing cgroup.  Userland builds FILEID_INO32_GEN fids from
  these numbers to look up the cgroups.  To remain compatible with the
  behavior, always output (LOW32,HIGH32) which will be constructed
  back to the original 64bit ID by __kernfs_fh_to_dentry().

<title>kernfs: implement custom exportfs ops and fid type</title>

<content type='text'>
The current kernfs exportfs implementation uses the generic_fh_*()
helpers and FILEID_INO32_GEN[_PARENT] which limits ino to 32bits.
Let's implement custom exportfs operations and fid type to remove the
restriction.

* FILEID_KERNFS is a single u64 value whose content is
  kernfs_node-&gt;id.  This is the only native fid type.

* For backward compatibility with blk_log_action() path which exposes
  (ino,gen) pairs which userland assembles into FILEID_INO32_GEN keys,
  combine the generic keys into 64bit IDs in the same order.

<title>kernfs: combine ino/id lookup functions into kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_id()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fe0f726c9fb626b1092a9ea3bf75f57f2eed676e</id>
<content type='text'>
kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino() looks the kernfs_node matching the
specified ino.  On top of that, kernfs_get_node_by_id() and
kernfs_fh_get_inode() implement full ID matching by testing the rest
of ID.

On surface, confusingly, the two are slightly different in that the
latter uses 0 gen as wildcard while the former doesn't - does it mean
that the latter can't uniquely identify inodes w/ 0 gen?  In practice,
this is a distinction without a difference because generation number
starts at 1.  There are no actual IDs with 0 gen, so it can always
safely used as wildcard.

Let's simplify the code by renaming kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino()
to kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_id(), moving all lookup logics into it,
and removing now unnecessary kernfs_get_node_by_id().

<title>kernfs: convert kernfs_node-&gt;id from union kernfs_node_id to u64</title>

<content type='text'>
kernfs_node-&gt;id is currently a union kernfs_node_id which represents
either a 32bit (ino, gen) pair or u64 value.  I can't see much value
in the usage of the union - all that's needed is a 64bit ID which the
current code is already limited to.  Using a union makes the code
unnecessarily complicated and prevents using 64bit ino without adding
practical benefits.

This patch drops union kernfs_node_id and makes kernfs_node-&gt;id a u64.
ino is stored in the lower 32bits and gen upper.  Accessors -
kernfs[_id]_ino() and kernfs[_id]_gen() - are added to retrieve the
ino and gen.  This simplifies ID handling less cumbersome and will
allow using 64bit inos on supported archs.

This patch doesn't make any functional changes.
