  • The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely
    unexplained. They also caused a huge performance regression, because
    "->poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down
    to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect
    calls.

    Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the
    performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the
    "->get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer
    to the poll head instead. That gets rid of one of the new indirections.

    But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted
    for the regular case. The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes
    was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case
    slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all
    really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental
    redesign.

    [ This revert is a revert of about 30 different commits, not reverted
    individually because that would just be unnecessarily messy - Linus ]

    "Majority of AIO stuff this cycle. aio-fsync and aio-poll, mostly.

    The only thing I'm holding back for a day or so is Adam's aio ioprio -
    his last-minute fixup is trivial (missing stub in !CONFIG_BLOCK case),
    but let it sit in -next for decency sake..."

  • Changes since v1:
    Added changes in these files:
    drivers/infiniband/hw/usnic/usnic_transport.c
    drivers/staging/lustre/lnet/lnet/lib-socket.c
    drivers/target/iscsi/iscsi_target_login.c
    drivers/vhost/net.c
    fs/dlm/lowcomms.c
    fs/ocfs2/cluster/tcp.c
    security/tomoyo/network.c

    Before:
    All these functions either return a negative error indicator,
    or store length of sockaddr into "int *socklen" parameter
    and return zero on success.

    "int *socklen" parameter is awkward. For example, if caller does not
    care, it still needs to provide on-stack storage for the value
    it does not need.

    None of the many FOO_getname() functions of various protocols
    ever used old value of *socklen. They always just overwrite it.

    This change drops this parameter, and makes all these functions, on success,
    return length of sockaddr. It's always >= 0 and can be differentiated
    from an error.

    Tests in callers are changed from "if (err)" to "if (err < 0)", where needed.

    rpc_sockname() lost "int buflen" parameter, since its only use was
    to be passed to kernel_getsockname() as &buflen and subsequently
    not used in any way.

    Userspace API is not changed.

  • /proc has been ignoring struct file_operations::owner field for 10 years.
    Specifically, it started with commit 786d7e1612f0b0adb6046f19b906609e4fe8b1ba
    ("Fix rmmod/read/write races in /proc entries"). Notice the chunk where
    inode->i_fop is initialized with proxy struct file_operations for
    regular files:

    - if (de->proc_fops)
    - inode->i_fop = de->proc_fops;
    + if (de->proc_fops) {
    + if (S_ISREG(inode->i_mode))
    + inode->i_fop = &proc_reg_file_ops;
    + else
    + inode->i_fop = de->proc_fops;
    + }

    VFS stopped pinning module at this point.

  • This converts all remaining cases of the old setup_timer() API into using
    timer_setup(), where the callback argument is the structure already
    holding the struct timer_list. These should have no behavioral changes,
    since they just change which pointer is passed into the callback with
    the same available pointers after conversion. It handles the following
    examples, in addition to some other variations.

    Casting from unsigned long:

    void my_callback(unsigned long data)
    {
    struct something *ptr = (struct something *)data;
    ...
    }
    ...
    setup_timer(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, ptr);

    and forced object casts:

    void my_callback(struct something *ptr)
    {
    ...
    }
    ...
    setup_timer(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, (unsigned long)ptr);

    become:

    void my_callback(struct timer_list *t)
    {
    struct something *ptr = from_timer(ptr, t, my_timer);
    ...
    }
    ...
    timer_setup(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, 0);

    Direct function assignments:

    void my_callback(unsigned long data)
    {
    struct something *ptr = (struct something *)data;
    ...
    }
    ...
    ptr->my_timer.function = my_callback;

    have a temporary cast added, along with converting the args:

    void my_callback(struct timer_list *t)
    {
    struct something *ptr = from_timer(ptr, t, my_timer);
    ...
    }
    ...
    ptr->my_timer.function = (TIMER_FUNC_TYPE)my_callback;

    And finally, callbacks without a data assignment:

    void my_callback(unsigned long data)
    {
    ...
    }
    ...
    setup_timer(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, 0);

    have their argument renamed to verify they're unused during conversion:

    void my_callback(struct timer_list *unused)
    {
    ...
    }
    ...
    timer_setup(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, 0);

    The conversion is done with the following Coccinelle script:

    spatch --very-quiet --all-includes --include-headers \
    -I ./arch/x86/include -I ./arch/x86/include/generated \
    -I ./include -I ./arch/x86/include/uapi \

  • Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
    makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

    By default all files without license information are under the default
    license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

    Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
    SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
    shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

    This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
    Philippe Ombredanne.

    How this work was done:

    Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
    the use cases:
    - file had no licensing information it it.
    - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
    - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

    Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
    where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
    had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

    The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
    a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
    output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
    tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
    base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

    The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
    assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner

    had to fix one whitespace problem spatch introduced.

  • Now that %z is standartised in C99 there is no reason to support %Z.
    Unlike %L it doesn't even make format strings smaller.

    Use BUILD_BUG_ON in a couple ATM drivers.

    In case anyone didn't notice lib/vsprintf.o is about half of SLUB which
    is in my opinion is quite an achievement. Hopefully this patch inspires
    someone else to trim vsprintf.c more.

  • After TIPC doesn't depend on iocb argument in its internal
    implementations of sendmsg() and recvmsg() hooks defined in proto
    structure, no any user is using iocb argument in them at all now.
    Then we can drop the redundant iocb argument completely from kinds of
    implementations of both sendmsg() and recvmsg() in the entire
    networking stack.

  • This encapsulates all of the skb_copy_datagram_iovec() callers
    with call argument signature "skb, offset, msghdr->msg_iov, length".

    When we move to iov_iters in the networking, the iov_iter object will
    sit in the msghdr.

    Having a helper like this means there will be less places to touch
    during that transformation.

    Based upon descriptions and patch from Al Viro.

  • Setting just skb->sk without taking its reference and setting a
    destructor is invalid. However, in the places where this was done, skb
    is used in a way not requiring skb->sk setting. So dropping the setting
    of skb->sk.
    Thanks to Eric Dumazet for correct solution.

    DECLARE_SOCKADDR validates that the structure we use for writing the

    for msg->msg_name (which is 128 bytes). Also use DECLARE_SOCKADDR

  • I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

    list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

    The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

    hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

    Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
    they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
    exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

    Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

    - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
    - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
    - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
    was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
    - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
    properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

    The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:
