orangefs: reorganize setattr functions to track attribute changes
OrangeFS accepts a mask indicating which attributes were changed. The
kernel must not set any bits except those that were actually changed.
The kernel must set the uid/gid of the request to the actual uid/gid
responsible for the change.
Code path for notify_change initiated setattrs is
orangefs_setattr(dentry, iattr)
-> __orangefs_setattr(inode, iattr)
In kernel changes are initiated by calling __orangefs_setattr.
Code path for writeback is
orangefs_write_inode
-> orangefs_inode_setattr
attr_valid and attr_uid and attr_gid change together under i_lock.
I_DIRTY changes separately.
__orangefs_setattr
lock
if needs to be cleaned first, unlock and retry
set attr_valid
copy data in
unlock
mark_inode_dirty
orangefs_inode_setattr
lock
copy attributes out
unlock
clear getattr_time
# __writeback_single_inode clears dirty
orangefs_inode_getattr
# possible to get here with attr_valid set and not dirty
lock
if getattr_time ok or attr_valid set, unlock and return
unlock
do server operation
# another thread may getattr or setattr, so check for that
lock
if getattr_time ok or attr_valid, unlock and return
else, copy in
update getattr_time
unlock
