Most users of IS_ERR_VALUE() in the kernel are wrong, as they
pass an 'int' into a function that takes an 'unsigned long'
argument. This happens to work because the type is sign-extended
on 64-bit architectures before it gets converted into an
unsigned type.However, anything that passes an 'unsigned short' or 'unsigned int'
argument into IS_ERR_VALUE() is guaranteed to be broken, as are
8-bit integers and types that are wider than 'unsigned long'.Andrzej Hajda has already fixed a lot of the worst abusers that
were causing actual bugs, but it would be nice to prevent any
users that are not passing 'unsigned long' arguments.This patch changes all users of IS_ERR_VALUE() that I could find
on 32-bit ARM randconfig builds and x86 allmodconfig. For the
moment, this doesn't change the definition of IS_ERR_VALUE()
because there are probably still architecture specific users
elsewhere.Almost all the warnings I got are for files that are better off
using 'if (err)' or 'if (err < 0)'.
The only legitimate user I could find that we get a warning for
is the (32-bit only) freescale fman driver, so I did not remove
the IS_ERR_VALUE() there but changed the type to 'unsigned long'.
For 9pfs, I just worked around one user whose calling conventions
are so obscure that I did not dare change the behavior.I was using this definition for testing:
#define IS_ERR_VALUE(x) ((unsigned long*)NULL == (typeof (x)*)NULL && \
unlikely((unsigned long long)(x) >= (unsigned long long)(typeof(x))-MAX_ERRNO))which ends up making all 16-bit or wider types work correctly with
the most plausible interpretation of what IS_ERR_VALUE() was supposed
to return according to its users, but also causes a compile-time
warning for any users that do not pass an 'unsigned long' argument.I suggested this approach earlier this year, but back then we ended
up deciding to just fix the users that are obviously broken. After
the initial warning that caused me to get involved in the discussion
(fs/gfs2/dir.c) showed up again in the mainline kernel, Linus
asked me to send the whole thing again.[ Updated the 9p parts as per Al Viro - Linus ]

Right now ext2_get_page() (and its analogues in a bunch of other filesystems)
relies upon the directory being locked - the way it sets and tests Checked and
Error bits would be racy without that. Switch to a slightly different scheme,
_not_ setting Checked in case of failure. That way the logics becomes
if Checked => OK
else if Error => fail
else if !validate => fail
else => OK
with validation setting Checked or Error on success and failure resp. and
returning which one had happened. Equivalent to the current logics, but unlike
the current logics not sensitive to the order of set_bit, test_bit getting
reordered by CPU, etc.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

In the rxrpc_connection and rxrpc_call structs, there's one field to hold
the abort code, no matter whether that value was generated locally to be
sent or was received from the peer via an abort packet.Split the abort code fields in two for cleanliness sake and add an error
field to hold the Linux error number to the rxrpc_call struct too
(sometimes this is generated in a context where we can't return it to
userspace directly).Furthermore, add a skb mark to indicate a packet that caused a local abort
to be generated so that recvmsg() can pick up the correct abort code. A
future addition will need to be to indicate to userspace the difference
between aborts via a control message.Signed-off-by: David Howells

to complete before closing the AF_RXRPC socket when unloading the module.This may occur if the module is removed too quickly after unmounting all

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ;
- >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.virtual patch

Mark those kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from
userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT/SLAB_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to
memcg. For the list, see below:- threadinfo
- task_struct
- task_delay_info
- pid
- cred
- mm_struct
- vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu)
- anon_vma and anon_vma_chain
- signal_struct
- sighand_struct
- fs_struct
- files_struct
- fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits
- dentry and external_name
- inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because
most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method.The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects.
Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and
keep most workloads within bounds. Malevolent users will be able to
breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account
everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in
fact).[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]

Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:
"All kinds of stuff. That probably should've been 5 or 6 separate
branches, but by the time I'd realized how large and mixed that bag
had become it had been too close to -final to play with rebasing.Some fs/namei.c cleanups there, memdup_user_nul() introduction and
switching open-coded instances, burying long-dead code, whack-a-mole
of various kinds, several new helpers for ->llseek(), assorted
cleanups and fixes from various people, etc.One piece probably deserves special mention - Neil's
lookup_one_len_unlocked(). Similar to lookup_one_len(), but gets
called without ->i_mutex and tries to avoid ever taking it. That, of
course, means that it's not useful for any directory modifications,
but things like getting inode attributes in nfds readdirplus are fine
with that. I really should've asked for moratorium on lookup-related
changes this cycle, but since I hadn't done that early enough... I
*am* asking for that for the coming cycle, though - I'm going to try
and get conversion of i_mutex to rwsem with ->lookup() done under lock
taken shared.There will be a patch closer to the end of the window, along the lines
of the one Linus had posted last May - mechanical conversion of
->i_mutex accesses to inode_lock()/inode_unlock()/inode_trylock()/
inode_is_locked()/inode_lock_nested(). To quote Linus back then:-----
| This is an automated patch using
|
| sed 's/mutex_lock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_lock(\1)/'
| sed 's/mutex_unlock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_unlock(\1)/'
| sed 's/mutex_lock_nested(&\(.*\)->i_mutex,[ ]*I_MUTEX_\([A-Z0-9_]*\))/inode_lock_nested(\1, I_MUTEX_\2)/'
| sed 's/mutex_is_locked(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_is_locked(\1)/'
| sed 's/mutex_trylock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_trylock(\1)/'
|
| with a very few manual fixups
-----I'm going to send that once the ->i_mutex-affecting stuff in -next

merges)"* 'work.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (63 commits)

Since "BDI: Provide backing device capability information [try #3]" the
backing_dev_info structure also provides flags for the kind of mmap
operation available in a nommu environment, which is entirely unrelated
to it's original purpose.Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to
the nommu mmap code instead. Splitting this from the backing_dev_info
structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't
otherwise needed, and entirely gets rid of the concept of providing a
backing_dev_info for a character device. It also removes the need for
the mtd_inodefs filesystem.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

Pull file locking changes from Jeff Layton:
"Pretty quiet on the file-locking related front this cycle. Just some
small cleanups and the addition of some tracepoints in the lease
handling code"* tag 'locks-v3.16' of git://git.samba.org/jlayton/linux:

Currently, the fl_owner isn't set for flock locks. Some filesystems use
byte-range locks to simulate flock locks and there is a common idiom in
those that does:fl->fl_owner = (fl_owner_t)filp;
fl->fl_start = 0;
fl->fl_end = OFFSET_MAX;Since flock locks are generally "owned" by the open file description,
move this into the common flock lock setup code. The fl_start and fl_end
fields are already set appropriately, so remove the unneeded setting of
that in flock ops in those filesystems as well.Finally, the lease code also sets the fl_owner as if they were owned by
the process and not the open file description. This is incorrect as
leases have the same ownership semantics as flock locks. Set them the
same way. The lease code doesn't actually use the fl_owner value for
anything, so this is more for consistency's sake than a bugfix.Reported-by: Trond Myklebust

call->async_workfn() can take an afs_call* arg rather than a work_struct* as
the functions assigned there are now called from afs_async_workfn() which has
to call container_of() anyway.Signed-off-by: David Howells

At present, it is not possible to successfully unload the kafs module if there
are outstanding async outgoing calls (those made with afs_make_call()). This
appears to be due to the changes introduced by:commit 059499453a9abd1857d442b44da8b4c126dc72a8

Subject: afs: don't use PREPARE_WORKwhich didn't go far enough. The problem is due to:
(1) The aforementioned commit introduced a separate handler function pointer
in the call, call->async_workfn, in addition to the original workqueue
item, call->async_work, for asynchronous operations because workqueues
subsystem cannot handle the workqueue item pointer being changed whilst
the item is queued or being processed.(2) afs_async_workfn() was introduced in that commit to be the callback for
call->async_work. Its sole purpose is to run whatever call->async_workfn
points to.(3) call->async_workfn is only used from afs_async_workfn(), which is only
set on async_work by afs_collect_incoming_call() - ie. for incoming
calls.(4) call->async_workfn is *not* set by afs_make_call() when outgoing calls are
made, and call->async_work is set afs_process_async_call() - and not
afs_async_workfn().(5) afs_process_async_call() now changes call->async_workfn rather than
call->async_work to point to afs_delete_async_call() to clean up, but this
is only effective for incoming calls because call->async_work does not
point to afs_async_workfn() for outgoing calls.(6) Because, for incoming calls, call->async_work remains pointing to
afs_process_async_call() this results in an infinite loop.Instead, make the workqueue uniformly vector through call->async_workfn, via
afs_async_workfn() and simply initialise call->async_workfn to point to
afs_process_async_call() in afs_make_call().Signed-off-by: Nathaniel Wesley Filardo

Fix the cache manager RPC service handlers. The afs_send_empty_reply() and
afs_send_simple_reply() functions:(a) Kill the call and free up the buffers associated with it if they fail.
(b) Return with call intact if it they succeed.
However, none of the callers actually check the result or clean up if
successful - and may use the now non-existent data if it fails.This was detected by Dan Carpenter using a static checker:
The patch 08e0e7c82eea: "[AF_RXRPC]: Make the in-kernel AFS
filesystem use AF_RXRPC." from Apr 26, 2007, leads to the following
static checker warning:
