<id>urn:sha1:61b272c3aa170b3e461b8df636407b29f35f98eb</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit c4fac9100456 ("9p: Implement show_options"), the mount
options of 9p filesystems are printed out with some missing commas
between the individual options:

p9-scratch on /mnt/scratch type 9p (rw,dirsync,loose,access=clienttrans=virtio)

Add them back.

<content type='text'>
Because userspace gets Very Unhappy when calls like stat() and execve()
return -EINTR on 9p filesystem mounts. For instance, when bash is
looking in PATH for things to execute and some SIGCHLD interrupts
stat(), bash can throw a spurious 'command not found' since it doesn't
retry the stat().

In practice, hitting the problem is rare and needs a really
slow/bogged down 9p server.

<content type='text'>
Implement the show_options superblock op for 9p as part of a bid to get
rid of s_options and generic_show_options() to make it easier to implement
a context-based mount where the mount options can be passed individually
over a file descriptor.

Don't assume that server is sane and won't return more data than

We are going to split &lt;linux/sched/signal.h&gt; out of &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder &lt;linux/sched/signal.h&gt; file that just
maps to &lt;linux/sched.h&gt; to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

<title>remove lots of IS_ERR_VALUE abuses</title>
<updated>2016-05-27T22:26:11+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.rulkc.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=287980e49ffc0f6d911601e7e352a812ed27768e'/>
<id>urn:sha1:287980e49ffc0f6d911601e7e352a812ed27768e</id>
<content type='text'>
Most users of IS_ERR_VALUE() in the kernel are wrong, as they
pass an 'int' into a function that takes an 'unsigned long'
argument. This happens to work because the type is sign-extended
on 64-bit architectures before it gets converted into an
unsigned type.

However, anything that passes an 'unsigned short' or 'unsigned int'
argument into IS_ERR_VALUE() is guaranteed to be broken, as are
8-bit integers and types that are wider than 'unsigned long'.

Andrzej Hajda has already fixed a lot of the worst abusers that
were causing actual bugs, but it would be nice to prevent any
users that are not passing 'unsigned long' arguments.

This patch changes all users of IS_ERR_VALUE() that I could find
on 32-bit ARM randconfig builds and x86 allmodconfig. For the
moment, this doesn't change the definition of IS_ERR_VALUE()
because there are probably still architecture specific users
elsewhere.

Almost all the warnings I got are for files that are better off
using 'if (err)' or 'if (err &lt; 0)'.
The only legitimate user I could find that we get a warning for
is the (32-bit only) freescale fman driver, so I did not remove
the IS_ERR_VALUE() there but changed the type to 'unsigned long'.
For 9pfs, I just worked around one user whose calling conventions
are so obscure that I did not dare change the behavior.

I was using this definition for testing:

 #define IS_ERR_VALUE(x) ((unsigned long*)NULL == (typeof (x)*)NULL &amp;&amp; \
       unlikely((unsigned long long)(x) &gt;= (unsigned long long)(typeof(x))-MAX_ERRNO))

which ends up making all 16-bit or wider types work correctly with
the most plausible interpretation of what IS_ERR_VALUE() was supposed
to return according to its users, but also causes a compile-time
warning for any users that do not pass an 'unsigned long' argument.

I suggested this approach earlier this year, but back then we ended
up deciding to just fix the users that are obviously broken. After
the initial warning that caused me to get involved in the discussion
(fs/gfs2/dir.c) showed up again in the mainline kernel, Linus
asked me to send the whole thing again.

<title>9p: ensure err is initialized to 0 in p9_client_read/write</title>

Some use of those functions were providing unitialized values to those
functions. Notably, when reading 0 bytes from an empty file on a 9P
filesystem, the return code of read() was not 0.

Tested with this simple program:

    #include &lt;assert.h&gt;
    #include &lt;sys/types.h&gt;
    #include &lt;sys/stat.h&gt;
    #include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
    #include &lt;unistd.h&gt;

    int main(int argc, const char **argv)
    {
        assert(argc == 2);
        char buffer[256];
        int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY|O_NOCTTY);
        assert(fd &gt;= 0);
        assert(read(fd, buffer, 0) == 0);
        return 0;
    }
