NFSD: introduce struct nfsd_attrs
The attributes that nfsd might want to set on a file include 'struct iattr' as well as an ACL and security label. The latter two are passed around quite separately from the first, in part because they are only needed for NFSv4. This leads to some clumsiness in the code, such as the attributes NOT being set in nfsd_create_setattr(). We need to keep the directory locked until all attributes are set to ensure the file is never visibile without all its attributes. This need combined with the inconsistent handling of attributes leads to more clumsiness. As a first step towards tidying this up, introduce 'struct nfsd_attrs'. This is passed (by reference) to vfs.c functions that work with attributes, and is assembled by the various nfs*proc functions which call them. As yet only iattr is included, but future patches will expand this. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
