When casesensitivity=insensitive is set for the
file system, we can deadlock in a rename if the user uses different case
for each path. For example rename("A/some-file.txt", "a/some-file.txt").
The simple test for this is:
1. mkdir some-dir in a ZFS file system
2. touch some-dir/some-file.txt
3. mv Some-dir/some-file.txt some-dir/some-other-file.txt
This last request deadlocks trying to relock the i_mutex on the inode for
the parent directory.
The solution is to use d_add_ci in zpl_lookup if we are on a file system
that has the casesensitivity=insensitive attribute set.
This patch checks if we are working on a case insensitive file system and if
so, allocates storage for the case insensitive name and passes it to
zfs_lookup and then calls d_add_ci instead of d_splice_alias.
The performance impact seems to be minimal even though we have introduced a
kmalloc and kfree in the lookup path.
The problem was found when running Microsoft's FSCT against Samba on top of
ZFS On Linux.
