we used to check for "nobody else could start doing anything with
that opened file" by checking that refcount was 2 or less - one
for descriptor table and one we'd acquired in fget() on the way to
wherever we are.  That was race-prone (somebody else might have
had a reference to descriptor table and do fget() just as we'd
been checking) and it had become flat-out incorrect back when
we switched to fget_light() on those codepaths - unlike fget(),
it doesn't grab an extra reference unless the descriptor table
is shared.  The same change allowed a race-free check, though -
we are safe exactly when refcount is less than 2.

It was a long time ago; pre-2.6.12 for ioctl() (the codepath leading
to ppp one) and 2.6.17 for sendmsg() (netlink one).  OTOH,
netlink hadn't grown that check until 3.9 and ppp used to live
in drivers/net, not drivers/net/ppp until 3.1.  The bug existed
well before that, though, and the same fix used to apply in old
location of file.

This patch makes it possible to kill a process looping in
cont_expand_zero. A process may spend a lot of time in this function, so
it is desirable to be able to kill it.

It happened to me that I wanted to copy a piece data from the disk to a
file. By mistake, I used the "seek" parameter to dd instead of "skip". Due
to the "seek" parameter, dd attempted to extend the file and became stuck
doing so - the only possibility was to reset the machine or wait many
hours until the filesystem runs out of space and cont_expand_zero fails.
We need this patch to be able to terminate the process.

For DAX, we want to be able to copy between iovecs and kernel addresses
that don't necessarily have a struct page.  This is a fairly simple
rearrangement for bvec iters to kmap the pages outside and pass them in,
but for user iovecs it gets more complicated because we might try various
different ways to kmap the memory.  Duplicating the existing logic works
out best in this case.

We need to be able to write zeroes to an iovec for reads from unwritten
ranges in a file.  This is performed by the new iov_iter_zero() function,
again patterned after the existing code that handles iovec iterators.

total_objects could be 0 and is used as a denom.

While total_objects is a "long", total_objects == 0 unlikely happens for
3.12 and later kernels because 32-bit architectures would not be able to
hold (1 << 32) objects. However, total_objects == 0 may happen for kernels
between 3.1 and 3.11 because total_objects in prune_super() was an "int"
and (e.g.) x86_64 architecture might be able to hold (1 << 32) objects.

schedule_delayed_work() happening when the work is already pending is
a cheap no-op.  Don't bother with ->wbuf_queued logics - it's both
broken (cancelling ->wbuf_dwork leaves it set, as spotted by Jeff Harris)
and pointless.  It's cheaper to let schedule_delayed_work() handle that
case.

The function which calls s_op->alloc_inode() is not inode_alloc(), but
instead alloc_inode() which lives in fs/inode.c .

The typo was there from the beginning from 5ea626aa (VFS: update
documentation, 2005) - there was no standalone inode_alloc() for the
whole kernel history.

the only in-tree instance checks d_unhashed() anyway,
out-of-tree code can preserve the current behaviour by
adding such check if they want it and we get an ability
to use it in cases where we *want* to be notified of
killing being inevitable before ->d_lock is dropped,
whether it's unhashed or not.  In particular, autofs
would benefit from that.
