We cap "nmsgs" at I2C_RDRW_IOCTL_MAX_MSGS (42) but the current code
allows negative values.  It's harmless but it makes my static checker
upset so I've made nsmgs unsigned.

<title>fs/compat_ioctl.c: VIDEO_SET_SPU_PALETTE missing error check</title>

<id>12176503366885edd542389eed3aaf94be163fdb</id>
<content type='text'>
The compat ioctl for VIDEO_SET_SPU_PALETTE was missing an error check
while converting ioctl arguments.  This could lead to leaking kernel
stack contents into userspace.

Patch extracted from existing fix in grsecurity.

<title>tty, ioctls -- Add new ioctl definitions for tty flags fetching</title>

This patch defines new ioctl codes TIOCGPKT, TIOCGPTLCK,
TIOCGEXCL for fetching pty's packet mode and locking state,
and exclusive mode of tty.

[ No real handlers for the codes though, this will be
  addressed in another patch for easier review and
  bisectability ]

Pull vfs update from Al Viro:

 - big one - consolidation of descriptor-related logics; almost all of
   that is moved to fs/file.c

   (BTW, I'm seriously tempted to rename the result to fd.c.  As it is,
   we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct
   file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons
   are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of
   struct file we used to have way back).

   A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives,
   disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least
   doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore.  A bunch of
   relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file
   leak.

 - related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in
   there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have).

 - also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into
   that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and
   switch of fdinfo to seq_file.

 - Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to
   take that commit than mess with conflicts.  The rest is a separate
   pile, this was just a mechanical code movement.

 - a few misc patches all over the place.  Not all for this cycle,
   there'll be more (and quite a few currently sit in akpm's tree)."

Fix up trivial conflicts in the android binder driver, and some fairly
simple conflicts due to two different changes to the sock_alloc_file()
interface ("take descriptor handling from sock_alloc_file() to callers"
vs "net: Providing protocol type via system.sockprotoname xattr of
/proc/PID/fd entries" adding a dentry name to the socket)

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (72 commits)
  MAX_LFS_FILESIZE should be a loff_t
  compat: fs: Generic compat_sys_sendfile implementation
  fs: push rcu_barrier() from deactivate_locked_super() to filesystems
  btrfs: reada_extent doesn't need kref for refcount
  coredump: move core dump functionality into its own file
  coredump: prevent double-free on an error path in core dumper
  usb/gadget: fix misannotations
  fcntl: fix misannotations
  ceph: don't abuse d_delete() on failure exits
  hypfs: -&gt;d_parent is never NULL or negative
  vfs: delete surplus inode NULL check
  switch simple cases of fget_light to fdget
  new helpers: fdget()/fdput()
  switch o2hb_region_dev_write() to fget_light()
  proc_map_files_readdir(): don't bother with grabbing files
  make get_file() return its argument
  vhost_set_vring(): turn pollstart/pollstop into bool
  switch prctl_set_mm_exe_file() to fget_light()
  switch xfs_find_handle() to fget_light()
