<title>fs/hpfs: Fix error code for new_inode() failure in mkdir/create/mknod/symlink</title>

[ Upstream commit 32058c38d3b79a28963a59ac0353644dc24775cd ]

The function call new_inode() is a primitive for allocating an inode in memory,
rather than planning disk space for it. Therefore, -ENOMEM should be returned
as the error code rather than -ENOSPC.

To be specific, new_inode()'s call path looks like this:
new_inode
  new_inode_pseudo
    alloc_inode
      ops-&gt;alloc_inode (hpfs_alloc_inode)
        alloc_inode_sb
          kmem_cache_alloc_lru

Therefore, the failure of new_inode() indicates a memory presure issue (-ENOMEM),
not a lack of disk space. However, the current implementation of
hpfs_mkdir/create/mknod/symlink incorrectly returns -ENOSPC when new_inode() fails.
This patch fix this by set err to -ENOMEM before the goto statement.

BTW, we also noticed that other nested calls within these four functions,
like hpfs_alloc_f/dnode and hpfs_add_dirent, might also fail due to memory presure.
But similarly, only -ENOSPC is returned. Addressing these will involve code
modifications in other functions, and we plan to submit dedicated patches for these
issues in the future. For this patch, we focus on new_inode().

Fill in the appropriate limits to avoid inconsistencies
in the vfs cached inode times when timestamps are
outside the permitted range.

Also change the local_to_gmt() to use time64_t instead
of time32_t.

<title>hpfs: remove unnecessary checks on the value of r when assigning error code</title>

At the point where r is being checked for different values, r is always
going to be equal to 2 as the previous if statements jump to end or end1
if r is not 2.  Hence the assignment to err can be simplified to just
err an assignment without any checks on the value or r.

<title>fs/hpfs: extend gmt_to_local() conversion to 64-bit times</title>

The VFS timestamps are all 64-bit now, the only missing piece for hpfs
is the internal conversion function.  One interesting bit about hpfs is
that it can already deal with moving the 136 year window of its
timestamps to support a much wider range than other file systems with
32-bit timestamps.  It also treats the timestamps as 'unsigned' on
64-bit architectures (but signed on 32-bit, because time_t always around
to negative numbers in 2038).

Changing the conversion to use time64_t makes 32-bit architectures
behave the same way as 64-bit.  For completeness, this also adds a
clamp_t call for each conversion, so we don't wrap the timestamps but
instead stay within the [0..U32_MAX] range of the on-disk timestamps.

<id>6da2ec56059c3c7a7e5f729e6349e74ace1e5c57</id>
<content type='text'>
The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This
patch replaces cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b, gfp)

with:
        kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp)

as well as handling cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

with:

        kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

        kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own
implementation of kmalloc().

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This
patch replaces cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b, gfp)

with:
        kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp)

as well as handling cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

with:

        kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

        kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own
implementation of kmalloc().

The Coccinelle script used for this was:
