This adds the tracehook_tracer_task() hook to consolidate all forms of
"Who is using ptrace on me?" logic. This is used for "TracerPid:" in
/proc and for permission checks. We also clean up the selinux code the
called an identical accessor.Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath

This moves all the ptrace hooks related to exec into tracehook.h inlines.
This also lifts the calls for tracing out of the binfmt load_binary hooks
into search_binary_handler() after it calls into the binfmt module. This
change has no effect, since all the binfmt modules' load_binary functions
did the call at the end on success, and now search_binary_handler() does
it immediately after return if successful. We consolidate the repeated
code, and binfmt modules no longer need to import ptrace_notify().Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath

themselves multiplexeres. Nobody uses this "feature", nor does anybody uses
passed kmem cache in non-trivial way, so pass only pointer to object.Non-trivial places are:

Use get_user_pages_fast in splice. This reverts some mmap_sem batching
there, however the biggest problem with mmap_sem tends to be hold times
blocking out other threads rather than cacheline bouncing. Further: on
architectures that implement get_user_pages_fast without locks, mmap_sem
can be avoided completely anyway.Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin

Implement the get_parent export operation by sending a LOOKUP request with
".." as the name.Implement looking up an inode by node ID after it has been evicted from
the cache. This is done by seding a LOOKUP request with "." as the name
(for all file types, not just directories).The filesystem can set the FUSE_EXPORT_SUPPORT flag in the INIT reply, to
indicate that it supports these special lookups.Thanks to John Muir for the original implementation of this feature.

Implement export_operations, to allow fuse filesystems to be exported to
NFS. This feature has been in the out-of-tree fuse module, and is widely
used and tested.It has not been originally merged into mainline, because doing the NFS
export in userspace was thought to be a cleaner and more efficient way of
doing it, than through the kernel.While that is true, it would also have involved a lot of duplicated effort
at reimplementing NFS exporting (all the different versions of the
protocol). This effort was unfortunately not undertaken by anyone, so we
are left with doing it the easy but less efficient way.If this feature goes in, the out-of-tree fuse module can go away,
which would have several advantages:- not having to maintain two versions
- less confusion for users
- no bugs due to kernel API changesComment from hch:

Allow filesystem's ->lock() method to call posix_lock_file() instead of
posix_lock_file_wait(), and return FILE_LOCK_DEFERRED. This makes it
possible to implement a such a ->lock() function, that works with the lock
manager, which needs the call to be asynchronous.Now the vfs_lock_file() helper can be used, so this is a cleanup as well.

Use a special error value FILE_LOCK_DEFERRED to mean that a locking
operation returned asynchronously. This is returned byposix_lock_file() for sleeping locks to mean that the lock has been
queued on the block list, and will be woken up when it might become
available and needs to be retried (either fl_lmops->fl_notify() is
called or fl_wait is woken up).f_op->lock() to mean either the above, or that the filesystem will
call back with fl_lmops->fl_grant() when the result of the locking
operation is known. The filesystem can do this for sleeping as well
as non-sleeping locks.This is to make sure, that return values of -EAGAIN and -EINPROGRESS by
filesystems are not mistaken to mean an asynchronous locking.This also makes error handling in fs/locks.c and lockd/svclock.c slightly
cleaner.Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

Fix nlm_fopen() to return NLM_FAILED (or NLM_LCK_DENIED_NOLOCKS) instead

request returns with NLM_LOCK_DENIED.Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

Report per-thread I/O statistics in /proc/pid/task/tid/io and aggregate
parent I/O statistics in /proc/pid/io. This approach follows the same
model used to account per-process and per-thread CPU times.As a practial application, this allows for example to quickly find the top
I/O consumer when a process spawns many child threads that perform the
actual I/O work, because the aggregated I/O statistics can always be found
in /proc/pid/io.[ Oleg Nesterov points out that we should check that the task is still
alive before we iterate over the threads, but also says that we can do
that fixup on top of this later. - Linus ]Acked-by: Balbir Singh

close->release won't be called because ->proc_fops were cleared. In simple
cases it's small memory leak.For every ->open, ->release has to be done. List of openers is introduced
