Using RCU lifetime rules to access kernfs_node::name can avoid the trouble with kernfs_rename_lock in kernfs_name() and kernfs_path_from_node() if the fs was created with KERNFS_ROOT_INVARIANT_PARENT. This is usefull as it allows to implement kernfs_path_from_node() only with RCU protection and avoiding kernfs_rename_lock. The lock is only required if the __parent node can be changed and the function requires an unchanged hierarchy while it iterates from the node to its parent. The change is needed to allow the lookup of the node's path (kernfs_path_from_node()) from context which runs always with disabled preemption and or interrutps even on PREEMPT_RT. The problem is that kernfs_rename_lock becomes a sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT. I went through all ::name users and added the required access for the lookup with a few extensions: - rdtgroup_pseudo_lock_create() drops all locks and then uses the name later on. resctrl supports rename with different parents. Here I made a temporal copy of the name while it is used outside of the lock. - kernfs_rename_ns() accepts NULL as new_parent. This simplifies sysfs_move_dir_ns() where it can set NULL in order to reuse the current name. - kernfs_rename_ns() is only using kernfs_rename_lock if the parents are different. All users use either kernfs_rwsem (for stable path view) or just RCU for the lookup. The ::name uses always RCU free. Use RCU lifetime guarantees to access kernfs_node::name.
