simple_set_mnt() is defined as returning 'int' but always returns 0.
Callers assume simple_set_mnt() never fails and don't properly cleanup if
it were to _ever_ fail. For instance, get_sb_single() and get_sb_nodev()
should:
up_write(sb->s_unmount);
deactivate_super(sb);
if simple_set_mnt() fails.
Since simple_set_mnt() never fails, would be cleaner if it did not
return anything.

There are four BKL users in proc: de_put(), proc_lookup_de(),
proc_readdir_de(), proc_root_readdir(),
1) de_put()
-----------
de_put() is classic atomic_dec_and_test() refcount wrapper -- no BKL
needed. BKL doesn't matter to possible refcount leak as well.
2) proc_lookup_de()
-------------------
Walking PDE list is protected by proc_subdir_lock(), proc_get_inode() is
potentially blocking, all callers of proc_lookup_de() eventually end up
from ->lookup hooks which is protected by directory's ->i_mutex -- BKL
doesn't protect anything.
3) proc_readdir_de()
--------------------
"." and ".." part doesn't need BKL, walking PDE list is under
proc_subdir_lock, calling filldir callback is potentially blocking
because it writes to luserspace. All proc_readdir_de() callers
eventually come from ->readdir hook which is under directory's
->i_mutex -- BKL doesn't protect anything.
4) proc_root_readdir_de()
-------------------------
proc_root_readdir_de is ->readdir hook, see (3).
Since readdir hooks doesn't use BKL anymore, switch to
generic_file_llseek, since it also takes directory's i_mutex.

This set of patches fixes an proc ->open'less usage due to ->proc_fops flip in
the most part of the kernel code. The original OOPS is described in the
commit 2d3a4e3666:
Typical PDE creation code looks like:
pde = create_proc_entry("foo", 0, NULL);
if (pde)
pde->proc_fops = &foo_proc_fops;
Notice that PDE is first created, only then ->proc_fops is set up to
final value. This is a problem because right after creation
a) PDE is fully visible in /proc , and
b) ->proc_fops are proc_file_operations which do not have ->open callback. So, it's
possible to ->read without ->open (see one class of oopses below).
The fix is new API called proc_create() which makes sure ->proc_fops are
set up before gluing PDE to main tree. Typical new code looks like:
pde = proc_create("foo", 0, NULL, &foo_proc_fops);
if (!pde)
return -ENOMEM;
Fix most networking users for a start.
In the long run, create_proc_entry() for regular files will go.
In addition to this, proc_create_data is introduced to fix reading from
proc without PDE->data. The race is basically the same as above.
create_proc_entries is replaced in the entire kernel code as new method
is also simply better.
This patch:
The problem is the same as for de->proc_fops. Right now PDE becomes visible
without data set. So, the entry could be looked up without data. This, in
most cases, will simply OOPS.
proc_create_data call is created to address this issue. proc_create now
becomes a wrapper around it.

proc_kill_inodes() can clear ->i_fop in the middle of vfs_readdir resulting in
NULL dereference during "file->f_op->readdir(file, buf, filler)".
The solution is to remove proc_kill_inodes() completely:
a) we don't have tricky modules implementing their tricky readdir hooks which
could keeping this revoke from hell.
b) In a situation when module is gone but PDE still alive, standard
readdir will return only "." and "..", because pde->next was cleared by
remove_proc_entry().
c) the race proc_kill_inode() destined to prevent is not completely
fixed, just race window made smaller, because vfs_readdir() is run
without sb_lock held and without file_list_lock held. Effectively,
->i_fop is cleared at random moment, which can't fix properly anything.

The namespace's proc_mnt must be kern_mount-ed to make this pointer always
valid, independently of whether the user space mounted the proc or not. This
solves raced in proc_flush_task, etc. with the proc_mnt switching from NULL
to not-NULL.
The initialization is done after the init's pid is created and hashed to make
proc_get_sb() finr it and get for root inode.
Sice the namespace holds the vfsmnt, vfsmnt holds the superblock and the
superblock holds the namespace we must explicitly break this circle to destroy
all the stuff. This is done after the init of the namespace dies. Running a
few steps forward - when init exits it will kill all its children, so no

Each pid namespace have to be visible through its own proc mount. Thus we
need to have per-namespace proc trees with their own superblocks.
We cannot easily show different pid namespace via one global proc tree, since
each pid refers to different tasks in different namespaces. E.g. pid 1
refers to the init task in the initial namespace and to some other task when
seeing from another namespace. Moreover - pid, exisintg in one namespace may
not exist in the other.
This approach has one move advantage is that the tasks from the init namespace
can see what tasks live in another namespace by reading entries from another
proc tree.

This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace. It modifies the global
variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument.
This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.
Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
that are relevant to a single network namespace.

With this change the sysctl inodes can be cached and nothing needs to be done
when removing a sysctl table.
For a cost of 2K code we will save about 4K of static tables (when we remove
de from ctl_table) and 70K in proc_dir_entries that we will not allocate, or
about half that on a 32bit arch.
The speed feels about the same, even though we can now cache the sysctl
dentries :(
We get the core advantage that we don't need to have a 1 to 1 mapping between
ctl table entries and proc files. Making it possible to have /proc/sys vary
depending on the namespace you are in. The currently merged namespaces don't
have an issue here but the network namespace under /proc/sys/net needs to have
different directories depending on which network adapters are visible. By
simply being a cache different directories being visible depending on who you
are is trivial to implement.

Doing it that way gets in the way of cleaning up the sysctl proc support as it

Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.
This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.
The patch also makes the following changes:
(*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
very little.
(*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
(*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
dentries being left unculled.
However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
with child trees.
[*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
(*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.
