commit 55acdd926f6b21a5cdba23da98a48aedf19ac9c3 upstream.

Can be reproduced when running dlm_controld (tested on 4.4.x, 4.12.4):
 # seq 1 100 | xargs -P0 -n1 dlm_tool join
 # seq 1 100 | xargs -P0 -n1 dlm_tool leave

misc_register fails due to duplicate sysfs entry, which causes
dlm_device_register to free ls-&gt;ls_device.name.
In dlm_device_deregister the name was freed again, causing memory
corruption.

According to the comment in dlm_device_deregister the name should've been
set to NULL when registration fails,
so this patch does that.

The signal blocking was incorrect and unnecessary
so just remove it.

Return EINVAL from write if the size is larger than
allowed.  Do this before allocating kernel memory for
the bogus size, which could lead to OOM.

device_write only checks whether the request size is big enough, but it doesn't
check if the size is too big.

At that point, it also tries to allocate as much memory as the user has requested
even if it's too much. This can lead to OOM killer kicking in, or memory corruption
if (count + 1) overflows.

These new callbacks notify the dlm user about lock recovery.
GFS2, and possibly others, need to be aware of when the dlm
will be doing lock recovery for a failed lockspace member.

In the past, this coordination has been done between dlm and
file system daemons in userspace, which then direct their
kernel counterparts.  These callbacks allow the same
coordination directly, and more simply.

Instead of creating our own kthread (dlm_astd) to deliver
callbacks for all lockspaces, use a per-lockspace workqueue
to deliver the callbacks.  This eliminates complications and
slowdowns from many lockspaces sharing the same thread.

Change how callbacks are recorded for locks.  Previously, information
about multiple callbacks was combined into a couple of variables that
indicated what the end result should be.  In some situations, we
could not tell from this combined state what the exact sequence of
callbacks were, and would end up either delivering the callbacks in
the wrong order, or suppress redundant callbacks incorrectly.  This
new approach records all the data for each callback, leaving no
uncertainty about what needs to be delivered.

<title>llseek: automatically add .llseek fop</title>

<id>6038f373a3dc1f1c26496e60b6c40b164716f07e</id>
<content type='text'>
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.

The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time.  Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.

The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

Commit 7fe2b3190b8b299409f13cf3a6f85c2bd371f8bb fixed possible
misordering of completion asts (casts) and blocking asts (basts)
for kernel locks.  This patch does the same for locks taken by
user space applications.
