treewide: Add SPDX license identifier for missed files

2019-05-21T08:50:45+00:00

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
   initial scan/conversion to ignore the file

These files fall under the project license, GPL v2 only. The resulting SPDX
license identifier is:

  GPL-2.0-only

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: Add a way to make network proc files writable

2018-05-18T10:46:15+00:00

Provide two extra functions, proc_create_net_data_write() and
proc_create_net_single_write() that act like their non-write versions but
also set a write method in the proc_dir_entry struct.

An internal simple write function is provided that will copy its buffer and
hand it to the pde->write() method if available (or give an error if not).
The buffer may be modified by the write method.

proc: introduce proc_create_net_single

2018-05-16T05:24:30+00:00

Variant of proc_create_data that directly take a seq_file show
callback and deals with network namespaces in ->open and ->release.
All callers of proc_create + single_open_net converted over, and
single_{open,release}_net are removed entirely.

proc: use slower rb_first()

2018-04-11T17:28:34+00:00

In a typical for /proc "open+read+close" usecase, dentry is looked up
successfully on open only to be killed in dput() on close.  In fact
dentries which aren't /proc/*/...  and /proc/sys/* were almost NEVER
CACHED.  Simple printk in proc_lookup_de() shows that.

Now that ->delete hook intelligently picks which dentries should live in
dcache and which should not, rbtree caching is not necessary as dcache
does it job, at last!

As a side effect, struct proc_dir_entry shrinks by one pointer which can
go into inline name.

proc: move "struct proc_dir_entry" into kmem cache

2018-04-11T17:28:34+00:00

"struct proc_dir_entry" is variable sized because of 0-length trailing
array for name, however, because of SLAB padding allocations it is
possible to make "struct proc_dir_entry" fixed sized and allocate same
amount of memory.

It buys fine-grained debugging with poisoning and usercopy protection
which is not possible with kmalloc-* caches.

Currently, on 32-bit 91+ byte allocations go into kmalloc-128 and on
64-bit 147+ byte allocations go to kmalloc-192 anyway.

Additional memory is allocated only for 38/46+ byte long names which are
rare or may not even exist in the wild.

proc: rearrange args

2018-02-07T02:32:43+00:00

Rearrange args for smaller code.

lookup revolves around memcmp() which gets len 3rd arg, so propagate
length as 3rd arg.

readdir and lookup add additional arg to VFS ->readdir and ->lookup, so
better add it to the end.

Space savings on x86_64:

	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 0/-18 (-18)
	Function                                     old     new   delta
	proc_readdir                                  22      13      -9
	proc_lookup                                   18       9      -9

proc_match() is smaller if not inlined, I promise!

procfs: use faster rb_first_cached()

2017-09-09T01:26:49+00:00

...  such that we can avoid the tree walks to get the node with the
smallest key.  Semantically the same, as the previously used rb_first(),
but O(1).  The main overhead is the extra footprint for the cached rb_node
pointer, which should not matter for procfs.

Merge branch 'rebased-statx' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2017-03-03T19:38:56+00:00

Pull vfs 'statx()' update from Al Viro.

This adds the new extended stat() interface that internally subsumes our
previous stat interfaces, and allows user mode to specify in more detail
what kind of information it wants.

It also allows for some explicit synchronization information to be
passed to the filesystem, which can be relevant for network filesystems:
is the cached value ok, or do you need open/close consistency, or what?

From David Howells.

Andreas Dilger points out that the first version of the extended statx
interface was posted June 29, 2010:
