virtiofsd: passthrough_ll: add fallback for racy ops
We have two operations that cannot be done race-free on a symlink in certain cases: utimes and link. Add racy fallback for these if the race-free method doesn't work. We do our best to avoid races even in this case: - get absolute path by reading /proc/self/fd/NN symlink - lookup parent directory: after this we are safe against renames in ancestors - lookup name in parent directory, and verify that we got to the original inode, if not retry the whole thing Both utimes(2) and link(2) hold i_lock on the inode across the operation, so a racing rename/delete by this fuse instance is not possible, only from other entities changing the filesystem. If the "norace" option is given, then disable the racy fallbacks.
