Davide Libenzi 562787a5c3 anonfd: split interface into file creation and install
Split the anonfd interface into a bare file pointer creation one, and a
file pointer creation plus install one.

There are cases, like the usage of eventfds inside other kernel
interfaces, where the file pointer created by anonfd needs to be used
inside the initialization of other structures.

As it is right now, as soon as anon_inode_getfd() returns, the kenrle can
race with userspace closing the newly installed file descriptor.

This patch, while keeping the old anon_inode_getfd(), introduces a new
anon_inode_getfile() (whose services are reused in anon_inode_getfd())
that allows to split the file creation phase and the fd install one.

Once all the kernel structures are initialized, the code can call the
proper fd_install().

Gregory manifested the need for something like this inside KVM.

Peter Zijlstra d3a9262e59 fs: Provide empty .set_page_dirty() aop for anon inodes
.set_page_dirty() is one of those a_ops that defaults to the
buffer implementation when not set. Therefore provide a dummy
function to make it do nothing.

(Uncovered by perfcounters fd's which can now be writable-mmap-ed.)

Christian Borntraeger e3a2a0d4e5 anon_inodes: use fops->owner for module refcount
There is an imbalance for anonymous inodes. If the fops->owner field is set,
the module reference count of owner is decreases on release.
("filp_close" --> "__fput" ---> "fops_put")

On the other hand, anon_inode_getfd does not increase the module reference
count of owner. This causes two problems:

- if owner is set, the module refcount goes negative
- if owner is not set, the module can be unloaded while code is running

This patch changes anon_inode_getfd to be symmetric regarding fops->owner
handling.

I have checked all existing users of anon_inode_getfd. Noone sets fops->owner,
thats why nobody has seen the module refcount negative. The refcounting was
tested with a patched and unpatched KVM module.(see patch 2/2) I also did an
epoll_open/close test.

David Howells da9592edeb CRED: Wrap task credential accesses in the filesystem subsystem
Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from
the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds.

Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id().

Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id().  In some places it makes more
sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be
addressed by later patches.

Ulrich Drepper 99829b8329 flag parameters: NONBLOCK in anon_inode_getfd
Building on the previous change to anon_inode_getfd, this patch introduces
support for handling of O_NONBLOCK in addition to the already supported
O_CLOEXEC.  Following patches will take advantage of this support.  As can be
seen, the additional support for supporting this functionality is minimal.

Ulrich Drepper 7d9dbca342 flag parameters: anon_inode_getfd extension
This patch just extends the anon_inode_getfd interface to take an additional
parameter with a flag value.  The flag value is passed on to
get_unused_fd_flags in anticipation for a use with the O_CLOEXEC flag.

No actual semantic changes here, the changed callers all pass 0 for now.

Al Viro 2030a42cec [PATCH] sanitize anon_inode_getfd()
a) none of the callers even looks at inode or file returned by anon_inode_getfd()
b) any caller that would try to look at those would be racy, since by the time
it returns we might have raced with close() from another thread and that
file would be pining for fjords.

We really need to kill get_empty_filp().

Davide Libenzi 96fdc72ddf anon-inodes use open coded atomic_inc for the shared inode
Since we know the shared inode count is always >0, we can avoid igrab()
and use an open coded atomic_inc().

This also fixes a bug noticed by Yan Zheng <yanzheng@21cn.com>: were checking
for an IS_ERR() return from igrab(), but it actually returns NULL on error.

Davide Libenzi 5dc8bf8132 signal/timer/event fds: anonymous inode source
This patch add an anonymous inode source, to be used for files that need
and inode only in order to create a file*. We do not care of having an
inode for each file, and we do not even care of having different names in
the associated dentries (dentry names will be same for classes of file*).
This allow code reuse, and will be used by epoll, signalfd and timerfd
(and whatever else there'll be).
