Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends.  That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.
This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig.

In the case of some code where it is modular, we can extend that to
also include files that are building basic support functionality but
not related to loading or registering the final module; such files
also have no need whatsoever for module.h

The advantage in removing such instances is that module.h itself
sources about 15 other headers; adding significantly to what we feed
cpp, and it can obscure what headers we are effectively using.

Since module.h might have been the implicit source for init.h
(for __init) and for export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each
instance for the presence of either and replace as needed.

In the dlm case, we remove module.h from a global header and only
introduce it in the files where it is explicitly required, since
there is nothing modular in dlm_internal.h itself.

<title>dlm: fix malfunction of dlm_tool caused by debugfs changes</title>

With the current kernel, `dlm_tool lockdebug` fails as below:

"dlm_tool lockdebug ED0BD86DCE724393918A1AE8FDBF1EE3
can't open /sys/kernel/debug/dlm/ED0BD86DCE724393918A1AE8FDBF1EE3:
Operation not permitted"

This is because table_open() depends on file-&gt;f_op to tell which
seq_file ops should be passed down. But, the original file ops in
file-&gt;f_op is replaced by "debugfs_full_proxy_file_operations" with
commit 49d200deaa68 ("debugfs: prevent access to removed files'
private data").

Currently, I can think up 2 solutions: 1st, replace
debugfs_create_file() with debugfs_create_file_unsafe();
2nd, make different table_open#() accordingly. The 1st one
is neat, but I don't thoroughly understand its risk. Maybe
someone has a better one.

The seq_printf() return is going away soon and users of it should
check seq_has_overflowed() to see if the buffer is full and will
not accept any more data.

Convert functions returning int to void where seq_printf() is used.

<title>dlm: use rsbtbl as resource directory</title>

Remove the dir hash table (dirtbl), and use
the rsb hash table (rsbtbl) as the resource
directory.  It has always been an unnecessary
duplication of information.

This improves efficiency by using a single rsbtbl
lookup in many cases where both rsbtbl and dirtbl
lookups were needed previously.

This eliminates the need to handle cases of rsbtbl
and dirtbl being out of sync.

In many cases there will be memory savings because
the dir hash table no longer exists.

Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when
they want to support a custom read/write function op.  This leads to a
proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire
tree.

Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we
can replace all the users of this function with simple_open().

This replacement was done with the following semantic patch:

&lt;smpl&gt;
@ open @

Change how callbacks are recorded for locks.  Previously, information
about multiple callbacks was combined into a couple of variables that
indicated what the end result should be.  In some situations, we
could not tell from this combined state what the exact sequence of
callbacks were, and would end up either delivering the callbacks in
the wrong order, or suppress redundant callbacks incorrectly.  This
new approach records all the data for each callback, leaving no
uncertainty about what needs to be delivered.
