<title>ALSA: info: Fix racy addition/deletion of nodes</title>

<id>8c2f870890fd28e023b0fcf49dcee333f2c8bad7</id>
<content type='text'>
The ALSA proc helper manages the child nodes in a linked list, but its
addition and deletion is done without any lock.  This leads to a
corruption if they are operated concurrently.  Usually this isn't a
problem because the proc entries are added sequentially in the driver
probe procedure itself.  But the card registrations are done often
asynchronously, and the crash could be actually reproduced with
syzkaller.

This patch papers over it by protecting the link addition and deletion
with the parent's mutex.  There is "access" mutex that is used for the
file access, and this can be reused for this purpose as well.

<title>ALSA: info: Move card id proc creation into info.c</title>

The creation of card's id proc file can be moved gracefully into
info.c.  Also, the assignment of card-&gt;proc_id is superfluous and can
be dropped.  So let's do it.

Basically this is no functional change but code refactoring, but one
potential behavior change is that now it returns properly the error
code from snd_info_card_register(), which is a good thing (tm).

Make sure that all children entries are registered by a single call of
snd_info_register().  OTOH, don't register if a parent isn't
registered yet.

This allows us to create the whole procfs tree in a shot at the last
stage of card registration phase in a later patch.

<title>ALSA: proc: Avoid possible leaks of snd_info_entry objects</title>

This patch changes the parent pointer assignment of snd_info_entry
object to be always non-NULL.  More specifically,check the parent
argument in snd_info_create_module_entry() &amp; co, and assign
snd_proc_root if NULL is passed there.

This assures that the proc object is always freed when the root is
freed, so avoid possible memory leaks.  For example, some error paths
(e.g. snd_info_register() error at snd_minor_info_init()) may leave
snd_info_entry object although the proc file itself is freed.

using octal and not symbolic permissions is preferred by many as more
readable.

<title>vfs: do bulk POLL* -&gt; EPOLL* replacement</title>

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.
