[ Upstream commit 55acdd926f6b21a5cdba23da98a48aedf19ac9c3 ]

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.

<title>netlink: make nlmsg_end() and genlmsg_end() void</title>

<id>053c095a82cf773075e83d7233b5cc19a1f73ece</id>
<content type='text'>
Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions
return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even
return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb.

This makes the very common pattern of

  if (genlmsg_end(...) &lt; 0) { ... }

be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do

  return nlmsg_end(...);

and the caller is expected to deal with it.

This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very
common to write

  if (my_function(...))
    /* error condition */

and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong.

Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually
needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then
it'll be very easy to just use skb-&gt;len there.

Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead
code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did

-	return nlmsg_end(...);
+	nlmsg_end(...);
+	return 0;

I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning
skb-&gt;len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected
functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared
the return value with &lt;= 0 in dump functionality, but that could just
be changed to &lt; 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more
efficient version.

One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present
in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't
check for &lt;0 or &lt;=0 and thus broke out of the loop every single time.
I've preserved this since it will (I think) have caused the messages to
userspace to be formatted differently with just a single message for
every SKB returned to userspace. It's possible that this isn't needed
for the tools that actually use this, but I don't even know what they
are so couldn't test that changing this behaviour would be acceptable.

Pull VFS changes from Al Viro:
 "First pile out of several (there _definitely_ will be more).  Stuff in
  this one:

   - unification of d_splice_alias()/d_materialize_unique()

   - iov_iter rewrite

   - killing a bunch of -&gt;f_path.dentry users (and f_dentry macro).

     Getting that completed will make life much simpler for
     unionmount/overlayfs, since then we'll be able to limit the places
     sensitive to file _dentry_ to reasonably few.  Which allows to have
     file_inode(file) pointing to inode in a covered layer, with dentry
     pointing to (negative) dentry in union one.

     Still not complete, but much closer now.

   - crapectomy in lustre (dead code removal, mostly)

   - "let's make seq_printf return nothing" preparations

   - assorted cleanups and fixes

  There _definitely_ will be more piles"

<title>dlm: adopt orphan locks</title>

<content type='text'>
A process may exit, leaving an orphan lock in the lockspace.
This adds the capability for another process to acquire the
orphan lock.  Acquiring the orphan just moves the lock from
the orphan list onto the acquiring process's list of locks.

An adopting process must specify the resource name and mode
of the lock it wants to adopt.  If a matching lock is found,
the lock is moved to the caller's 's list of locks, and the
lkid of the lock is returned like the lkid of a new lock.

If an orphan with a different mode is found, then -EAGAIN is
returned.  If no orphan lock is found on the resource, then
-ENOENT is returned.  No async completion is used because
the result is immediately available.

Also, when orphans are purged, allow a zero nodeid to refer
to the local nodeid so the caller does not need to look up
the local nodeid.

The seq_printf() return is going away soon and users of it should
check seq_has_overflowed() to see if the buffer is full and will
not accept any more data.

Convert functions returning int to void where seq_printf() is used.

The connection struct with nodeid 0 is the listening socket,
not a connection to another node.  The sctp resend function
was not checking that the nodeid was valid (non-zero), so it
would mistakenly get and resend on the listening connection
when nodeid was zero.
