s3:smbd: let mkdir_internal() work more atomically using a temporary name
Currently we do this in mkdir_internal():
mkdirat(client_name);
if (EEXIST) {
return EEXIST;
}
prepare_acls(client_name);
Note 'prepare_acls()' is a placeholder for the complex steps
it is doing to prepare the directory. During these steps
we have the problem that other clients already see
the directory and are able to create files or subdirectories
in it and these may not inherit the correct acls as
the their parent directory is not created completely.
I think I found a good strategie even without relying on
renameat2(RENAME_NOREPLACE).
So instead of having a long windows during prepare_acls,
we just have a short window between mkdirat(client_name, mode=0)
and renameat(tmp_name, client_name);
And in that short window the directory with the client_name
has a mode of 0, so it's not possible for other clients
to create files or subdirs in it.
As the mkdirat(client_name, mode=0) still catches
EEXIST the race where two clients try to create
the same client_name is closed as before,
so we don't need any other protection.
Following patches will make use of renameat2(RENAME_NOREPLACE),
but this already a very good improvement.
