When a branch filesystem doesn't cache ACL, aufs should not cache
either.  Until now aufs has never met such fs, but theoretically it
could happen.  Actually, in linux-v5.1-rc1, NFSv3 changed its behaviour
by the commit
	ded52fbe7020 2019-02-20 nfs: fix xfstest generic/099 failed on nfsv3
The commit ded52fbe7020 doesn't "forget" the previous acl though.
Doesn't it mean that the obsoleted acl is kept until NFS's attribute
cache is expired?  I don't know.  I've asked it on LKML, but got no
answer.

This is detected by the commit in v5.3-rc1,
	d6fc9fcbaa65 2019-07-08 kbuild: compile-test exported headers to
		ensure they are self-contained
But the issue is not for v5.3-rc1 only I am afraid.  So this commit is
brought to aufs4.14 which is my current development base.

The scenario is very similar to previous commit
"aufs: bugfix, ignore the being freed dynop object".
One exception is that this commit is for sbinfo object which is managed
by kobject (instead of kref).

In order to enter the plink-maintenance mode, users write an ID to
"/proc/fs/aufs/plink_maint" (this path is defined as macros in
include/uapi/linux/aufs_type.h).  If someone else is unmounting the
aufs mount corresponding that ID, then the searcher task may find a
being freed sbinfo object.
The problem and the fix is very similar to previous commit
"aufs: bugfix, ignore the being freed dynop object".

(cherry picked from commit 949b498ae30797b19b9e7ac9b230815f31ffe378)

Aufs DYNOP (Dynamically customizable FS operations) object is managed by
kref, and when its counter reaches zero, the callback function removes
the object from the internal list which is protected by a spinlock and
then frees the object.
Here there is a small time window between
A: the counter reaches zero, and
B: require the lock to remove the object from the list.
If someone else acquires the lock and searches the list, it may find the
counter-zero'ed object which means the object is being freed.
This commit ignores the object whose counter is already zero.

At the mount-time, XINO files are created and removed very soon.  When
multiple mounts with being given the same XINO file path executed in
parallel, some of them may fail in creating XINO due to EEXIST.
Introducing a local mutex, make it serialized.
By default, XINO is created at the top dir of the first writable
branch.  In this case, the new mutex won't be used.

Obviously this is an unnecessary overhead when the XINO file path is not
same, and such lock should be done by inode_lock() for the parent dir.
Actually au_xino_create2() behaves in this manner.  Then why didn't I
apply the same way to this au_xino_create()?  It is just because of my
laziness.  Calling VFS filp_open() here is easy for me.

Fuse doesn't want the callers to access the inode attributes without
issuing stat, and it is not assured that they are valid after lookup or
iget().
The inode attribute is critical for aufs, and aufs decided to call stat
every time for fuse.
Of course, it makes aufs slow. But when the branch fs is not fuse, stat
is not called.

Currently, only FUSE implements ->poll(), and aufs supports it.

Basically ramfs is limited for its size, and is not suitable for aufs RW
branch. But people sometimes use it as RW branch without knowing it or
with knowing it.

Special support for filesystems which acquires an inode mutex at final
closing a file, eg, hfsplus.
This trick is very simple and stupid, just to open the file before really
necessary open to tell hfsplus that this is not the final closing.
The caller should call au_h_open_pre() after acquiring the inode mutex,
and au_h_open_post() after releasing it.

Still I am not sure how this feature breaches the security. Some people
say it doesn't matter. But I don't know.
Anyway upon the request from the users, aufs implements it as a module
option.

It is ok that the branch is loopback-mounted.
But it had a problem if the backend fs-image is placed on another
branch, and aufs had prohibited such nested branch for a long time due
to the recursive lookup by 'loopN' daemon.
I don't remember when it was, but the daemon stopped such recursive
behaviour, but aufs is still prohibitting the nested branch via
loopback-mount.
Upon the request from users, aufs will allow the loopback-mounted branch
on another branch by another patch (aufs4-loopback.patch in
aufs4-standalone.git).

This feature automatically handles MVDOWN in other commits.
In user-space, a daemon monitors the free space of the branch and issues
MVDOWN ioctl automatically when necessary. The main role is in
user-space and several options are implemented.
For a branch to join the FHSM circle, a new attribute 'fhsm' should be
specified.

Another ioctl feature, move-down.
The behaviour is, as you can guess, the opposite of copy-up.
The feature called FHSM (file-based hierarchical storage management, in
later commit) uses this ioctl aggressively.
