syzbot reported a bug when putting the last reference to a tasks file
descriptor table. Debugging this showed we didn't recalculate the
current maximum fd number for CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE | CLOSE_RANGE_CLOEXEC
after we unshared the file descriptors table. So max_fd could exceed the
current fdtable maximum causing us to set excessive bits. As a concrete
example, let's say the user requested everything from fd 4 to ~0UL to be
closed and their current fdtable size is 256 with their highest open fd
being 4. With CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE the caller will end up with a new
fdtable which has room for 64 file descriptors since that is the lowest
fdtable size we accept. But now max_fd will still point to 255 and needs
to be adjusted. Fix this by retrieving the correct maximum fd value in
__range_cloexec().

Assumes current-&gt;files-&gt;file_lock is already held on invocation. Helps
the caller check the file before removing the fd, if it needs to.

For cancelling io_uring requests it needs either to be able to run
currently enqueued task_works or having it shut down by that moment.
Otherwise io_uring_cancel_files() may be waiting for requests that won't
ever complete.

Go with the first way and do cancellations before setting PF_EXITING and
so before putting the task_work infrastructure into a transition state
where task_work_run() would better not be called.

<title>close_range: unshare all fds for CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE | CLOSE_RANGE_CLOEXEC</title>

After introducing CLOSE_RANGE_CLOEXEC syzbot reported a crash when
CLOSE_RANGE_CLOEXEC is specified in conjunction with CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE.
When CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE is specified the caller will receive a private
file descriptor table in case their file descriptor table is currently
shared.

For the case where the caller has requested all file descriptors to be
actually closed via e.g. close_range(3, ~0U, 0) the kernel knows that
the caller does not need any of the file descriptors anymore and will
optimize the close operation by only copying all files in the range from
0 to 3 and no others.

However, if the caller requested CLOSE_RANGE_CLOEXEC together with
CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE the caller wants to still make use of the file
descriptors so the kernel needs to copy all of them and can't optimize.

The original patch didn't account for this and thus could cause oopses
as evidenced by the syzbot report because it assumed that all fds had
been copied. Fix this by handling the CLOSE_RANGE_CLOEXEC case.

Pull execve updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This set of changes ultimately fixes the interaction of posix file
  lock and exec. Fundamentally most of the change is just moving where
  unshare_files is called during exec, and tweaking the users of
  files_struct so that the count of files_struct is not unnecessarily
  played with.

  Along the way fcheck and related helpers were renamed to more
  accurately reflect what they do.

  There were also many other small changes that fell out, as this is the
  first time in a long time much of this code has been touched.

  Benchmarks haven't turned up any practical issues but Al Viro has
  observed a possibility for a lot of pounding on task_lock. So I have
  some changes in progress to convert put_files_struct to always rcu
  free files_struct. That wasn't ready for the merge window so that will
  have to wait until next time"

When discussing[1] exec and posix file locks it was realized that none
of the callers of get_files_struct fundamentally needed to call
get_files_struct, and that by switching them to helper functions
instead it will both simplify their code and remove unnecessary
increments of files_struct.count.  Those unnecessary increments can
result in exec unnecessarily unsharing files_struct which breaking
posix locks, and it can result in fget_light having to fallback to
fget reducing system performance.

Now that get_files_struct has no more users and can not cause the
problems for posix file locking and fget_light remove get_files_struct
so that it does not gain any new users.

The function close_fd_get_file is explicitly a variant of
__close_fd[1].  Now that __close_fd has been renamed close_fd, rename
close_fd_get_file to be consistent with close_fd.

When __alloc_fd, __close_fd and __fd_install were introduced the
double underscore indicated that the function took a struct
files_struct parameter.  The function __close_fd_get_file never has so
the naming has always been inconsistent.  This just cleans things up
so there are not any lingering mentions or references __close_fd left
in the code.

The function __close_fd was added to support binder[1].  Now that
binder has been fixed to no longer need __close_fd[2] all calls
to __close_fd pass current-&gt;files.

Therefore transform the files parameter into a local variable
initialized to current-&gt;files, and rename __close_fd to close_fd to
reflect this change, and keep it in sync with the similar changes to
__alloc_fd, and __fd_install.

This removes the need for callers to care about the extra care that
needs to be take if anything except current-&gt;files is passed, by
limiting the callers to only operation on current-&gt;files.

The function __alloc_fd was added to support binder[1].  With binder
fixed[2] there are no more users.

As alloc_fd just calls __alloc_fd with "files=current-&gt;files",
merge them together by transforming the files parameter into a
local variable initialized to current-&gt;files.

<title>file: In f_dupfd read RLIMIT_NOFILE once.</title>

Simplify the code, and remove the chance of races by reading
RLIMIT_NOFILE only once in f_dupfd.

Pass the read value of RLIMIT_NOFILE into alloc_fd which is the other
location the rlimit was read in f_dupfd.  As f_dupfd is the only
caller of alloc_fd this changing alloc_fd is trivially safe.

Further this causes alloc_fd to take all of the same arguments as
__alloc_fd except for the files_struct argument.
