fs/proc/inode.c: use RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL)

2014-04-07T23:36:04+00:00

Replace rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) with RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL)

The rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure
is carried out before storing a pointer to that structure.  And in the
case of the NULL pointer, there is no structure to initialize.  So,
rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) can be safely converted to
RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL)

mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cache

2014-04-03T23:21:01+00:00

Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
evicting the real page.  As those pages are found from the LRU, an
iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently.  At this point,
reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.

Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
under the tree lock before doing the final truncate.  Reclaim will check
for this flag before installing shadow pages.

procfs: also fix proc_reg_get_unmapped_area() for !MMU case

2013-12-13T02:19:26+00:00

Commit fad1a86e25e0 ("procfs: call default get_unmapped_area on
MMU-present architectures"), as its title says, took care of only the
MMU case, leaving the !MMU side still in the regressed state (returning
-EIO in all cases where pde->proc_fops->get_unmapped_area is NULL).

From the fad1a86e25e0 changelog:

 "Commit c4fe24485729 ("sparc: fix PCI device proc file mmap(2)") added
  proc_reg_get_unmapped_area in proc_reg_file_ops and
  proc_reg_file_ops_no_compat, by which now mmap always returns EIO if
  get_unmapped_area method is not defined for the target procfs file, which
  causes regression of mmap on /proc/vmcore.

  To address this issue, like get_unmapped_area(), call default
  current->mm->get_unmapped_area on MMU-present architectures if
  pde->proc_fops->get_unmapped_area, i.e.  the one in actual file operation
  in the procfs file, is not defined"

procfs: fix unintended truncation of returned mapped address

2013-10-17T04:35:53+00:00

Currently, proc_reg_get_unmapped_area truncates upper 32-bit of the
mapped virtual address returned from get_unmapped_area method in
pde->proc_fops due to the variable rv of signed integer on x86_64.  This
is too small to have vitual address of unsigned long on x86_64 since on
x86_64, signed integer is of 4 bytes while unsigned long is of 8 bytes.
To fix this issue, use unsigned long instead.

Fixes a regression added in commit c4fe24485729 ("sparc: fix PCI device
proc file mmap(2)").

sparc: fix PCI device proc file mmap(2)

Commit 786d7e1612f0b0adb6046f19b906609e4fe8b1ba "Fix rmmod/read/write races in /proc entries"
must have broken mmapping of PCI device proc files on Sparc.

Notice how it adds wrapper around ->mmap but doesn't do it around ->get_unmapped_area.
Add wrapper around ->get_unmapped_area.

Delete create_proc_read_entry() as it no longer has any users.

Also delete read_proc_t, write_proc_t, the read_proc member of the
proc_dir_entry struct and the support functions that use them.  This saves a
