fs/proc/generic.c: delete useless "len" variable

2019-12-05T03:44:11+00:00

Pointer to next '/' encodes length of path element and next start
position.  Subtraction and increment are redundant.

proc: change ->nlink under proc_subdir_lock

2019-12-05T03:44:11+00:00

Currently gluing PDE into global /proc tree is done under lock, but
changing ->nlink is not.  Additionally struct proc_dir_entry::nlink is
not atomic so updates can be lost.

Add SPDX license identifiers to all files which:

 - Have no license information of any form

 - Have EXPORT_.*_SYMBOL_GPL inside which was used in the

proc: fix /proc/net/* after setns(2)

2019-02-01T23:46:22+00:00

/proc entries under /proc/net/* can't be cached into dcache because
setns(2) can change current net namespace.

proc: smaller readlock section in readdir("/proc")

2018-08-22T17:52:45+00:00

Readdir context is thread local, so ->pos is thread local,
move it out of readlock.

proc: add proc_seq_release

2018-06-28T00:44:38+00:00

kmemleak reported some memory leak on reading proc files. After adding
some debug lines, find that proc_seq_fops is using seq_release as
release handler, which won't handle the free of 'private' field of
seq_file, while in fact the open handler proc_seq_open could create
the private data with __seq_open_private when state_size is greater
than zero. So after reading files created with proc_create_seq_private,
such as /proc/timer_list and /proc/vmallocinfo, the private mem of a
seq_file is not freed. Fix it by adding the paired proc_seq_release
as the default release handler of proc_seq_ops instead of seq_release.

proc: Make inline name size calculation automatic

2018-06-15T04:48:57+00:00

Make calculation of the size of the inline name in struct proc_dir_entry
automatic, rather than having to manually encode the numbers and failing to
allow for lockdep.

Require a minimum inline name size of 33+1 to allow for names that look
like two hex numbers with a dash between.
