        Instead of switching -&gt;f_path.mnt of an opened file to internal
clone, get a struct path with -&gt;mnt set to internal clone of that
-&gt;f_path.mnt, then dentry_open() that to get the file with right -&gt;f_path.mnt
from the very beginning.

	The only subtle part here is that on failure exits we need to
close the file with __fput_sync() and make sure we do that *before*
dropping the original mount.

	With that done, only fs/{file_table,open,namei}.c ever store
anything to file-&gt;f_path and only prior to file-&gt;f_mode &amp; FMODE_OPENED
becoming true.  Analysis of mount write count handling also becomes
less brittle and convoluted...

[AV: folded a fix for a bug spotted by Jan Kara - we do need a full-blown
open of the original file, not just user_path_at() or we end up skipping
permission checks]

In [1] it was reported that the acct(2) system call can be used to
trigger NULL deref in cases where it is set to write to a file that
triggers an internal lookup. This can e.g., happen when pointing acc(2)
to /sys/power/resume. At the point the where the write to this file
happens the calling task has already exited and called exit_fs(). A
lookup will thus trigger a NULL-deref when accessing current-&gt;fs.

Reorganize the code so that the the final write happens from the
workqueue but with the caller's credentials. This preserves the
(strange) permission model and has almost no regression risk.

This api should stop to exist though.

<title>treewide: const qualify ctl_tables where applicable</title>

Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for
watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.

Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25cd5 ("sysctl: treewide:
constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers") constified all the
proc_handlers.

Created this by running an spatch followed by a sed command:
Spatch:

    depends on !(file in "net")
    disable optional_qualifier
    @

<content type='text'>
This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)

Remove the sentinel from ctl_table arrays. Reduce by one the values used
to compare the size of the adjusted arrays.

Before exporting these helpers to modules, make their names more
meaningful.

The names mnt_{get,put)_write_access*() were chosen, because they rhyme
with the inode {get,put)_write_access() helpers, which have a very close
meaning for the inode object.

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
 "Six audit patches, the highlights are:

   - Add an explicit cond_resched() call when generating PATH records

     Certain tracefs/debugfs operations can generate a *lot* of audit
     PATH entries and if one has an aggressive system configuration (not
     the default) this can cause a soft lockup in the audit code as it
     works to process all of these new entries.

     This is in sharp contrast to the common case where only one or two
     PATH entries are logged. In order to fix this corner case without
     excessively impacting the common case we're adding a single
     cond_rescued() call between two of the most intensive loops in the
     __audit_inode_child() function.

   - Various minor cleanups

     We removed a conditional header file as the included header already
     had the necessary logic in place, fixed a dummy function's return
     value, and the usual collection of checkpatch.pl noise (whitespace,
     brace, and trailing statement tweaks)"

<content type='text'>
strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.  This read may exceed the
destination size limit.  This is both inefficient and can lead to linear
read overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].  In an effort
to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace strlcpy() here with strscpy().
No return values were used, so direct replacement is safe.

strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.  This read may exceed the
destination size limit.  This is both inefficient and can lead to linear
read overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].  In an effort
to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace strlcpy() here with strscpy().
No return values were used, so direct replacement is safe.
