ktime_set(S,N) was required for the timespec storage type and is still
useful for situations where a Seconds and Nanoseconds part of a time value
needs to be converted. For anything where the Seconds argument is 0, this
is pointless and can be replaced with a simple assignment.

Pull dlm fixes from David Teigland:
"This set fixes error reporting for dlm sockets, removes the unbound
property on the dlm callback workqueue to improve performance, and
includes a couple trivial changes"
* tag 'dlm-4.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/teigland/linux-dlm:
dlm: fix error return code in sctp_accept_from_sock()
dlm: don't specify WQ_UNBOUND for the ast callback workqueue
dlm: remove lock_sock to avoid scheduling while atomic
dlm: don't save callbacks after accept
dlm: audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.h

Now genl_register_family() is the only thing (other than the
users themselves, perhaps, but I didn't find any doing that)
writing to the family struct.
In all families that I found, genl_register_family() is only
called from __init functions (some indirectly, in which case
I've add __init annotations to clarifly things), so all can
actually be marked __ro_after_init.
This protects the data structure from accidental corruption.

Static family IDs have never really been used, the only
use case was the workaround I introduced for those users
that assumed their family ID was also their multicast
group ID.
Additionally, because static family IDs would never be
reserved by the generic netlink code, using a relatively
low ID would only work for built-in families that can be
registered immediately after generic netlink is started,
which is basically only the control family (apart from
the workaround code, which I also had to add code for so
it would reserve those IDs)
Thus, anything other than GENL_ID_GENERATE is flawed and
luckily not used except in the cases I mentioned. Move
those workarounds into a few lines of code, and then get
rid of GENL_ID_GENERATE entirely, making it more robust.

Before this patch, functions save_callbacks and restore_callbacks
called function lock_sock and release_sock to prevent other processes
from messing with the struct sock while the callbacks were saved and
restored. However, function add_sock calls write_lock_bh prior to
calling it save_callbacks, which disables preempts. So the call to
lock_sock would try to schedule when we can't schedule.

When DLM calls accept() on a socket, the comm code copies the sk
after we've saved its callbacks. Afterward, it calls add_sock which
saves the callbacks a second time. Since the error reporting function
lowcomms_error_report calls the previous callback too, this results
in a recursive call to itself. This patch adds a new parameter to
function add_sock to tell whether to save the callbacks. Function
tcp_accept_from_sock (and its sctp counterpart) then calls it with
false to avoid the recursion.

Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends. That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.
This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig.
In the case of some code where it is modular, we can extend that to
also include files that are building basic support functionality but
not related to loading or registering the final module; such files
also have no need whatsoever for module.h
The advantage in removing such instances is that module.h itself
sources about 15 other headers; adding significantly to what we feed
cpp, and it can obscure what headers we are effectively using.
Since module.h might have been the implicit source for init.h
(for __init) and for export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each
instance for the presence of either and replace as needed.
In the dlm case, we remove module.h from a global header and only
introduce it in the files where it is explicitly required, since
there is nothing modular in dlm_internal.h itself.

After backporting commit ee44b4bc054a ("dlm: use sctp 1-to-1 API")
series to a kernel with an older workqueue which didn't use RCU yet, it
was noticed that we are freeing the workqueues in dlm_lowcomms_stop()
too early as free_conn() will try to access that memory for canceling
the queued works if any.
This issue was introduced by commit 0d737a8cfd83 as before it such
attempt to cancel the queued works wasn't performed, so the issue was
not present.
This patch fixes it by simply inverting the free order.

With the current kernel, `dlm_tool lockdebug` fails as below:
"dlm_tool lockdebug ED0BD86DCE724393918A1AE8FDBF1EE3
can't open /sys/kernel/debug/dlm/ED0BD86DCE724393918A1AE8FDBF1EE3:
Operation not permitted"
This is because table_open() depends on file->f_op to tell which
seq_file ops should be passed down. But, the original file ops in
file->f_op is replaced by "debugfs_full_proxy_file_operations" with
commit 49d200deaa68 ("debugfs: prevent access to removed files'
private data").
Currently, I can think up 2 solutions: 1st, replace
debugfs_create_file() with debugfs_create_file_unsafe();
2nd, make different table_open#() accordingly. The 1st one
is neat, but I don't thoroughly understand its risk. Maybe
someone has a better one.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

1. It removes a return statement from lowcomms_error_report

BUG_ON() is a severe action for this case, specially now that DLM with
SCTP will use 1 socket per association. Instead, we can just close the
socket on this error condition and return from the function.
Also move the check to an earlier stage as it won't change and thus we
can abort as soon as possible.
Although this issue was reported when still using SCTP with 1-to-many
API, this cleanup wouldn't be that simple back then because we couldn't
close the socket and making sure such event would cease would be hard.
And actually, previous code was closing the association, yet SCTP layer
is still raising the new data event. Probably a bug to be fixed in SCTP.

DLM is using 1-to-many API but in a 1-to-1 fashion. That is, it's not
needed but this causes it to use sctp_do_peeloff() to mimic an
kernel_accept() and this causes a symbol dependency on sctp module.
By switching it to 1-to-1 API we can avoid this dependency and also
reduce quite a lot of SCTP-specific code in lowcomms.c.
The caveat is that now DLM won't always use the same src port. It will
choose a random one, just like TCP code. This allows the peers to
attempt simultaneous connections, which now are handled just like for
TCP.
Even more sharing between TCP and SCTP code on DLM is possible, but it
is intentionally left for a later commit.
Note that for using nodes with this commit, you have to have at least
the early fixes on this patchset otherwise it will trigger some issues
on old nodes.

When using SCTP and accepting a new connection, DLM currently validates
if the peer trying to connect to it is one of the cluster nodes, but it
doesn't check if it already has a connection to it or not.
If it already had a connection, it will be overwritten, and the new one
will be used for writes, possibly causing the node to leave the cluster
due to communication breakage.
Still, one could DoS the node by attempting N connections and keeping
them open.
As said, but being explicit, both situations are only triggerable from
other cluster nodes, but are doable with only user-level perms.

With well over 200+ users of this api, there are a mere 12 users that
actually checked the return value of this function. And all of them
really didn't do anything with that information as the system or module
was shutting down no matter what.
So stop pretending like it matters, and just return void from
misc_deregister(). If something goes wrong in the call, you will get a
WARNING splat in the syslog so you know how to fix up your driver.
Other than that, there's nothing that can go wrong.

Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions
return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even
return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb.
This makes the very common pattern of
if (genlmsg_end(...) < 0) { ... }
be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do
return nlmsg_end(...);
and the caller is expected to deal with it.
This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very
common to write
if (my_function(...))
/* error condition */
and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong.
Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually
needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then
it'll be very easy to just use skb->len there.
Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead
code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did
- return nlmsg_end(...);
+ nlmsg_end(...);
+ return 0;
I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning
skb->len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected
functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared
the return value with <= 0 in dump functionality, but that could just
be changed to < 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more
efficient version.
One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present
in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't
check for <0 or <=0 and thus broke out of the loop every single time.
I've preserved this since it will (I think) have caused the messages to
userspace to be formatted differently with just a single message for
every SKB returned to userspace. It's possible that this isn't needed
for the tools that actually use this, but I don't even know what they
are so couldn't test that changing this behaviour would be acceptable.

Pull VFS changes from Al Viro:
"First pile out of several (there _definitely_ will be more). Stuff in
this one:
- unification of d_splice_alias()/d_materialize_unique()
- iov_iter rewrite
- killing a bunch of ->f_path.dentry users (and f_dentry macro).
Getting that completed will make life much simpler for
unionmount/overlayfs, since then we'll be able to limit the places
sensitive to file _dentry_ to reasonably few. Which allows to have
file_inode(file) pointing to inode in a covered layer, with dentry
pointing to (negative) dentry in union one.
Still not complete, but much closer now.
- crapectomy in lustre (dead code removal, mostly)
- "let's make seq_printf return nothing" preparations
- assorted cleanups and fixes
There _definitely_ will be more piles"

A process may exit, leaving an orphan lock in the lockspace.
This adds the capability for another process to acquire the
orphan lock. Acquiring the orphan just moves the lock from
the orphan list onto the acquiring process's list of locks.
An adopting process must specify the resource name and mode
of the lock it wants to adopt. If a matching lock is found,
the lock is moved to the caller's 's list of locks, and the
lkid of the lock is returned like the lkid of a new lock.
If an orphan with a different mode is found, then -EAGAIN is
returned. If no orphan lock is found on the resource, then
-ENOENT is returned. No async completion is used because
the result is immediately available.
Also, when orphans are purged, allow a zero nodeid to refer
to the local nodeid so the caller does not need to look up
the local nodeid.

The seq_printf() return is going away soon and users of it should
check seq_has_overflowed() to see if the buffer is full and will
not accept any more data.
Convert functions returning int to void where seq_printf() is used.
