fs: dlm: remove deprecated code parts

2023-03-06T21:49:07+00:00

This patch removes code parts which was declared deprecated by
commit 6b0afc0cc3e9 ("fs: dlm: don't use deprecated timeout features by
default"). This contains the following dlm functionality:

- start a cancel of a dlm request did not complete after certain timeout:
  The current way how dlm cancellation works and interfering with other
  dlm requests triggered by the user can end in an overlapping and
  returning in -EBUSY. The most user don't handle this case and are
  unaware that DLM can return such errno in such situation. Due the
  timeout the user are mostly unaware when this happens.
- start a netlink warning messages for user space if dlm requests did
  not complete after certain timeout:
  This feature was never being built in the only known dlm user space side.
  As we are to remove the timeout cancellation feature we can directly
  remove this feature as well.

There might be the possibility to bring the timeout cancellation feature
back. However the current way of handling the -EBUSY case which is only
a software limitation and not a hardware limitation should be changed.
We minimize the current code base in DLM cancellation feature to not have
to deal with those existing features while solving the DLM cancellation
feature in general.

UAPI define DLM_LSFL_TIMEWARN is commented as deprecated and reserved
value. We should avoid at first to give it a new meaning but let
possible users still compile by keeping this define. In far future we
can give this flag a new meaning. The same for the DLM_LKF_TIMEOUT lock
request flag.

genetlink: start to validate reserved header bytes

2022-08-29T11:47:15+00:00

We had historically not checked that genlmsghdr.reserved
is 0 on input which prevents us from using those precious
bytes in the future.

One use case would be to extend the cmd field, which is
currently just 8 bits wide and 256 is not a lot of commands
for some core families.

To make sure that new families do the right thing by default
put the onus of opting out of validation on existing families.

treewide: Remove uninitialized_var() usage

2020-07-16T19:35:15+00:00

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
	xargs perl -pi -e \
		's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
		 s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.

genetlink: optionally validate strictly/dumps

2019-04-27T21:07:22+00:00

Add options to strictly validate messages and dump messages,
sometimes perhaps validating dump messages non-strictly may
be required, so add an option for that as well.

Since none of this can really be applied to existing commands,
set the options everwhere using the following spatch:

    @@
    identifier ops;
    expression X;
    @@
    struct genl_ops ops[] = {
    ...,
     {
            .cmd = X,
    +       .validate = GENL_DONT_VALIDATE_STRICT | GENL_DONT_VALIDATE_DUMP,
            ...
     },
    ...
    };

For new commands one should just not copy the .validate 'opt-out'
flags and thus get strict validation.

genetlink: mark families as __ro_after_init

2016-10-27T20:16:09+00:00

Now genl_register_family() is the only thing (other than the
users themselves, perhaps, but I didn't find any doing that)
writing to the family struct.

In all families that I found, genl_register_family() is only
called from __init functions (some indirectly, in which case
I've add __init annotations to clarifly things), so all can
actually be marked __ro_after_init.

This protects the data structure from accidental corruption.

genetlink: statically initialize families

2016-10-27T20:16:09+00:00

Instead of providing macros/inline functions to initialize
the families, make all users initialize them statically and
get rid of the macros.

This reduces the kernel code size by about 1.6k on x86-64
(with allyesconfig).

genetlink: no longer support using static family IDs

2016-10-27T20:16:09+00:00

Static family IDs have never really been used, the only
use case was the workaround I introduced for those users
that assumed their family ID was also their multicast
group ID.

Additionally, because static family IDs would never be
reserved by the generic netlink code, using a relatively
low ID would only work for built-in families that can be
registered immediately after generic netlink is started,
which is basically only the control family (apart from
the workaround code, which I also had to add code for so
it would reserve those IDs)

Thus, anything other than GENL_ID_GENERATE is flawed and
luckily not used except in the cases I mentioned. Move
those workarounds into a few lines of code, and then get
rid of GENL_ID_GENERATE entirely, making it more robust.
