arg is controlled by user-space, hence leading to a potential
exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.

This issue was detected with the help of Smatch:

net/atm/lec.c:715 lec_mcast_attach() warn: potential spectre issue 'dev_lec' [r] (local cap)

Fix this by sanitizing arg before using it to index dev_lec.

Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is
to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be
completed with a dependent load/store [1].

<title>net: atm: Add another IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_COMPAT) in atm_dev_ioctl</title>

I removed compat's universal assignment to 0, which allows this if
statement to fall through when compat is passed with a value other
than 0.

When building with -Wsometimes-uninitialized, Clang warns:

net/atm/resources.c:256:6: warning: variable 'number' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true [-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
net/atm/resources.c:212:7: warning: variable 'iobuf_len' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true [-Wsometimes-uninitialized]

Clang won't realize that compat is 0 when CONFIG_COMPAT is not set until
the constant folding stage, which happens after this semantic analysis.
Use IS_ENABLED instead so that the zero is present at the semantic
analysis stage, which eliminates this warning.

It's confusing to call PTR_ERR(v).  The PTR_ERR() function is basically
a fancy cast to long so it makes you wonder, was IS_ERR() intended?  But
that doesn't make sense because vcc_walk() doesn't return error
pointers.

This patch doesn't affect runtime, it's just a cleanup.

This reverts commit dd979b4df817e9976f18fb6f9d134d6bc4a3c317.

This broke tcp_poll for SMC fallback: An AF_SMC socket establishes an
internal TCP socket for the initial handshake with the remote peer.
Whenever the SMC connection can not be established this TCP socket is
used as a fallback. All socket operations on the SMC socket are then
forwarded to the TCP socket. In case of poll, the file-&gt;private_data
pointer references the SMC socket because the TCP socket has no file
assigned. This causes tcp_poll to wait on the wrong socket.

<title>Revert changes to convert to -&gt;poll_mask() and aio IOCB_CMD_POLL</title>

The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely
unexplained.  They also caused a huge performance regression, because
"-&gt;poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down
to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect
calls.

Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the
performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the
"-&gt;get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer
to the poll head instead.  That gets rid of one of the new indirections.

But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted
for the regular case.  The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes
was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case
slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all
really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental
redesign.

The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely
unexplained.  They also caused a huge performance regression, because
"-&gt;poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down
to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect
calls.
