Rather than in vm_area_alloc().  To ensure that the various oddball
stack-based vmas are in a good state.  Some of the callers were zeroing
them out, others were not.

Pull vfs open-related updates from Al Viro:

 - "do we need fput() or put_filp()" rules are gone - it's always fput()
   now. We keep track of that state where it belongs - in -&gt;f_mode.

 - int *opened mess killed - in finish_open(), in -&gt;atomic_open()
   instances and in fs/namei.c code around do_last()/lookup_open()/atomic_open().

 - alloc_file() wrappers with saner calling conventions are introduced
   (alloc_file_clone() and alloc_file_pseudo()); callers converted, with
   much simplification.

 - while we are at it, saner calling conventions for path_init() and
   link_path_walk(), simplifying things inside fs/namei.c (both on
   open-related paths and elsewhere).

* 'work.open3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (40 commits)
  few more cleanups of link_path_walk() callers
  allow link_path_walk() to take ERR_PTR()
  make path_init() unconditionally paired with terminate_walk()
  document alloc_file() changes
  make alloc_file() static
  do_shmat(): grab shp-&gt;shm_file earlier, switch to alloc_file_clone()

<title>hugetlbfs: fix bug in pgoff overflow checking</title>

<id>5df63c2a149ae65a9ec239e7c2af44efa6f79beb</id>
<content type='text'>
This is a fix for a regression in 32 bit kernels caused by an invalid
check for pgoff overflow in hugetlbfs mmap setup.  The check incorrectly
specified that the size of a loff_t was the same as the size of a long.
The regression prevents mapping hugetlbfs files at offsets greater than
4GB on 32 bit kernels.

On 32 bit kernels conversion from a page based unsigned long can not
overflow a loff_t byte offset.  Therefore, skip this check if
sizeof(unsigned long) != sizeof(loff_t).

<id>63489f8e821144000e0bdca7e65a8d1cc23a7ee7</id>
<content type='text'>
A vma with vm_pgoff large enough to overflow a loff_t type when
converted to a byte offset can be passed via the remap_file_pages system
call.  The hugetlbfs mmap routine uses the byte offset to calculate
reservations and file size.

A sequence such as:

  mmap(0x20a00000, 0x600000, 0, 0x66033, -1, 0);
  remap_file_pages(0x20a00000, 0x600000, 0, 0x20000000000000, 0);

will result in the following when task exits/file closed,

  kernel BUG at mm/hugetlb.c:749!
  Call Trace:
    hugetlbfs_evict_inode+0x2f/0x40
    evict+0xcb/0x190
    __dentry_kill+0xcb/0x150
    __fput+0x164/0x1e0

    do_syscall_64+0x18b/0x190
    entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2

The overflowed pgoff value causes hugetlbfs to try to set up a mapping
with a negative range (end &lt; start) that leaves invalid state which
causes the BUG.

The previous overflow fix to this code was incomplete and did not take
the remap_file_pages system call into account.

Implements memfd sealing, similar to shmem:
 - WRITE: deny fallocate(PUNCH_HOLE). mmap() write is denied in
   memfd_add_seals(). write() doesn't exist for hugetlbfs.
 - SHRINK: added similar check as shmem_setattr()
 - GROW: added similar check as shmem_setattr() &amp; shmem_fallocate()

Except write() operation that doesn't exist with hugetlbfs, that should
make sealing as close as it can be to shmem support.

hugetlbfs inode information will need to be accessed by code in
mm/shmem.c for file sealing operations.  Move inode information
definition from .c file to header for needed access.

<title>fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c: change put_page/unlock_page order in hugetlbfs_fallocate()</title>

hugetlfs_fallocate() currently performs put_page() before unlock_page().
This scenario opens a small time window, from the time the page is added
to the page cache, until it is unlocked, in which the page might be
removed from the page-cache by another core.  If the page is removed
during this time windows, it might cause a memory corruption, as the
wrong page will be unlocked.

It is arguable whether this scenario can happen in a real system, and
there are several mitigating factors.  The issue was found by code
inspection (actually grep), and not by actually triggering the flow.
Yet, since putting the page before unlocking is incorrect it should be
fixed, if only to prevent future breakage or someone copy-pasting this
code.

Mike said:
 "I am of the opinion that this does not need to be sent to stable.
  Although the ordering is current code is incorrect, there is no way
  for this to be a problem with current locking. In addition, I verified
  that the perhaps bigger issue with sys_fadvise64(POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED)
  for hugetlbfs and other filesystems is addressed in 3a77d214807c ("mm:
  fadvise: avoid fadvise for fs without backing device")"
