<title>remove lots of IS_ERR_VALUE abuses</title>

<id>287980e49ffc0f6d911601e7e352a812ed27768e</id>
<content type='text'>
Most users of IS_ERR_VALUE() in the kernel are wrong, as they
pass an 'int' into a function that takes an 'unsigned long'
argument. This happens to work because the type is sign-extended
on 64-bit architectures before it gets converted into an
unsigned type.

However, anything that passes an 'unsigned short' or 'unsigned int'
argument into IS_ERR_VALUE() is guaranteed to be broken, as are
8-bit integers and types that are wider than 'unsigned long'.

Andrzej Hajda has already fixed a lot of the worst abusers that
were causing actual bugs, but it would be nice to prevent any
users that are not passing 'unsigned long' arguments.

This patch changes all users of IS_ERR_VALUE() that I could find
on 32-bit ARM randconfig builds and x86 allmodconfig. For the
moment, this doesn't change the definition of IS_ERR_VALUE()
because there are probably still architecture specific users
elsewhere.

Almost all the warnings I got are for files that are better off
using 'if (err)' or 'if (err &lt; 0)'.
The only legitimate user I could find that we get a warning for
is the (32-bit only) freescale fman driver, so I did not remove
the IS_ERR_VALUE() there but changed the type to 'unsigned long'.
For 9pfs, I just worked around one user whose calling conventions
are so obscure that I did not dare change the behavior.

I was using this definition for testing:

 #define IS_ERR_VALUE(x) ((unsigned long*)NULL == (typeof (x)*)NULL &amp;&amp; \
       unlikely((unsigned long long)(x) &gt;= (unsigned long long)(typeof(x))-MAX_ERRNO))

which ends up making all 16-bit or wider types work correctly with
the most plausible interpretation of what IS_ERR_VALUE() was supposed
to return according to its users, but also causes a compile-time
warning for any users that do not pass an 'unsigned long' argument.

I suggested this approach earlier this year, but back then we ended
up deciding to just fix the users that are obviously broken. After
the initial warning that caused me to get involved in the discussion
(fs/gfs2/dir.c) showed up again in the mainline kernel, Linus
asked me to send the whole thing again.

   - I have a patch to fix a problem where GFS2 would dereference an
     error value, plus three cosmetic / refactoring patches.

   - Daniel DeFreez has a patch to fix two glock reference count
     problems, where GFS2 was not properly "uninitializing" its glock
     holder on error paths.

   - Denys Vlasenko has a patch to change a function to not be inlined,

Switch to the generic xattr handlers and take the necessary glocks at
the layer below. The following are the new xattr "entry points"; they
are called with the glock held already in the following cases:

  gfs2_xattr_get: From SELinux, during lookups.
  gfs2_xattr_set: The glock is never held.
  gfs2_get_acl: From gfs2_create_inode -&gt; posix_acl_create and
                gfs2_setattr -&gt; posix_acl_chmod.
  gfs2_set_acl: From gfs2_setattr -&gt; posix_acl_chmod.
