This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

<title>tipc: fix skb truesize/datasize ratio control</title>

<id>55b3280d1e471795c08dbbe17325720a843e104c</id>
<content type='text'>
In commit d618d09a68e4 ("tipc: enforce valid ratio between skb truesize
and contents") we introduced a test for ensuring that the condition
truesize/datasize &lt;= 4 is true for a received buffer. Unfortunately this
test has two problems.

- Because of the integer arithmetics the test
  if (skb-&gt;truesize / buf_roundup_len(skb) &gt; 4) will miss all
  ratios [4 &lt; ratio &lt; 5], which was not the intention.
- The buffer returned by skb_copy() inherits skb-&gt;truesize of the
  original buffer, which doesn't help the situation at all.

In this commit, we change the ratio condition and replace skb_copy()
with a call to skb_copy_expand() to finally get this right.

Pull kern_recvmsg reduction from Al Viro:
 "kernel_recvmsg() is a set_fs()-using wrapper for sock_recvmsg(). In
  all but one case that is not needed - use of ITER_KVEC for -&gt;msg_iter
  takes care of the data and does not care about set_fs(). The only
  exception is svc_udp_recvfrom() where we want cmsg to be store into
  kernel object; everything else can just use sock_recvmsg() and be done
  with that.

  A followup converting svc_udp_recvfrom() away from set_fs() (and
  killing kernel_recvmsg() off) is *NOT* in here - I'd like to hear what

Pull poll annotations from Al Viro:
 "This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates
  the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as
  'make -&gt;poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local
  variables used to hold the future return value'.

  Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN
  misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is
  low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. -&gt;poll() instance
  deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those
  in this series - it's large enough as it is.

  Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and
  eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were
  equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are
  arch-independent, but POLL### are not.

  The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from
  the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them
  in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this
  is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll()
  work on all architectures.

  As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and
  it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other
  architectures. EPOLLWRBAND and EPOLLRDHUP, OTOH, are never triggered
  at all on sparc. With this patch they should work consistently on all

<content type='text'>
Letting tipc_poll() dereference a socket's pointer to struct tipc_group
entails a race risk, as the group item may be deleted in a concurrent
tipc_sk_join() or tipc_sk_leave() thread.

We now move the 'open' flag in struct tipc_group to struct tipc_sock,
and let the former retain only a pointer to the moved field. This will
eliminate the race risk.

We have identified a race condition during reception of socket
events and messages in the topology server.

- The function tipc_close_conn() is releasing the corresponding
  struct tipc_subscriber instance without considering that there
  may still be items in the receive work queue. When those are
  scheduled, in the function tipc_receive_from_work(), they are
  using the subscriber pointer stored in struct tipc_conn, without
  first checking if this is valid or not. This will sometimes
  lead to crashes, as the next call of tipc_conn_recvmsg() will
  access the now deleted item.
  We fix this by making the usage of this pointer conditional on
  whether the connection is active or not. I.e., we check the condition
  test_bit(CF_CONNECTED) before making the call tipc_conn_recvmsg().

- Since the two functions may be running on different cores, the
  condition test described above is not enough. tipc_close_conn()
  may come in between and delete the subscriber item after the condition
  test is done, but before tipc_conn_recv_msg() is finished. This
  happens less frequently than the problem described above, but leads
  to the same symptoms.

  We fix this by using the existing sk_callback_lock for mutual
  exclusion in the two functions. In addition, we have to move
  a call to tipc_conn_terminate() outside the mentioned lock to
  avoid deadlock.

<title>tipc: fix bug during lookup of multicast destination nodes</title>

In commit 232d07b74a33 ("tipc: improve groupcast scope handling") we
inadvertently broke non-group multicast transmission when changing the
parameter 'domain' to 'scope' in the function
tipc_nametbl_lookup_dst_nodes(). We missed to make the corresponding
change in the calling function, with the result that the lookup always
fails.

A closer anaysis reveals that this parameter is not needed at all.
Non-group multicast is hard coded to use CLUSTER_SCOPE, and in the
current implementation this will be delivered to all matching
destinations except those which are published with NODE_SCOPE on other
nodes. Since such publications never will be visible on the sending node
anyway, it makes no sense to discriminate by scope at all.

We now remove this parameter altogether.

When tipc_node_find_by_name() fails, the nlmsg is not
freed.

While on it, switch to a goto label to properly
free it.
