procfs: move dropping pde and pid from ->evict_inode() to ->free_inode()

2024-02-25T07:10:32+00:00

that keeps both around until struct inode is freed, making access
to them safe from rcu-pathwalk

Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "As usual, lots of singleton and doubleton patches all over the tree
  and there's little I can say which isn't in the individual changelogs.

  The lengthier patch series are

   - 'kdump: use generic functions to simplify crashkernel reservation
     in arch', from Baoquan He. This is mainly cleanups and
     consolidation of the 'crashkernel=' kernel parameter handling

   - After much discussion, David Laight's 'minmax: Relax type checks in
     min() and max()' is here. Hopefully reduces some typecasting and
     the use of min_t() and max_t()

   - A group of patches from Oleg Nesterov which clean up and slightly
     fix our handling of reads from /proc/PID/task/... and which remove
     task_struct.thread_group"

proc: save LOC by using while loop

2023-10-18T21:43:22+00:00

Use while loop instead of infinite loop with "break;".

Also move some variable to the inner scope where they belong.

procfs: convert to ctime accessor functions

2023-07-24T08:30:03+00:00

In later patches, we're going to change how the inode's ctime field is
used. Switch to using accessor functions instead of raw accesses of
inode->i_ctime.

tty, proc, kernfs, random: Use copy_splice_read()

2023-05-24T14:42:16+00:00

Use copy_splice_read() for tty, procfs, kernfs and random files rather
than going through generic_file_splice_read() as they just copy the file
into the output buffer and don't splice pages.  This avoids the need for
them to have a ->read_folio() to satisfy filemap_splice_read().

take care to handle NULL ->proc_lseek()

2022-08-14T19:16:18+00:00

Easily done now, just by clearing FMODE_LSEEK in ->f_mode
during proc_reg_open() for such entries.

fs: allocate inode by using alloc_inode_sb()

2022-03-22T22:57:03+00:00

The inode allocation is supposed to use alloc_inode_sb(), so convert
kmem_cache_alloc() of all filesystems to alloc_inode_sb().
