<id>urn:sha1:d6444062f8f07c346a21bd815af4a3dc8b231574</id>
<content type='text'>
Prefer the direct use of octal for permissions.

Done with checkpatch -f --types=SYMBOLIC_PERMS --fix-inplace
and some typing.

Miscellanea:

o Whitespace neatening around these conversions.

<title>net: make getname() functions return length rather than use int* parameter</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9b2c45d479d0fb8647c9e83359df69162b5fbe5f</id>
<content type='text'>
Changes since v1:
Added changes in these files:
    drivers/infiniband/hw/usnic/usnic_transport.c
    drivers/staging/lustre/lnet/lnet/lib-socket.c
    drivers/target/iscsi/iscsi_target_login.c
    drivers/vhost/net.c
    fs/dlm/lowcomms.c
    fs/ocfs2/cluster/tcp.c
    security/tomoyo/network.c

Before:
All these functions either return a negative error indicator,
or store length of sockaddr into "int *socklen" parameter
and return zero on success.

"int *socklen" parameter is awkward. For example, if caller does not
care, it still needs to provide on-stack storage for the value
it does not need.

None of the many FOO_getname() functions of various protocols
ever used old value of *socklen. They always just overwrite it.

This change drops this parameter, and makes all these functions, on success,
return length of sockaddr. It's always &gt;= 0 and can be differentiated
from an error.

Tests in callers are changed from "if (err)" to "if (err &lt; 0)", where needed.

rpc_sockname() lost "int buflen" parameter, since its only use was
to be passed to kernel_getsockname() as &amp;buflen and subsequently
not used in any way.

Userspace API is not changed.

/proc has been ignoring struct file_operations::owner field for 10 years.
Specifically, it started with commit 786d7e1612f0b0adb6046f19b906609e4fe8b1ba
("Fix rmmod/read/write races in /proc entries"). Notice the chunk where
inode-&gt;i_fop is initialized with proxy struct file_operations for
regular files:

	-               if (de-&gt;proc_fops)
	-                       inode-&gt;i_fop = de-&gt;proc_fops;
	+               if (de-&gt;proc_fops) {
	+                       if (S_ISREG(inode-&gt;i_mode))
	+                               inode-&gt;i_fop = &amp;proc_reg_file_ops;
	+                       else
	+                               inode-&gt;i_fop = de-&gt;proc_fops;
	+               }

VFS stopped pinning module at this point.

<title>treewide: Remove TIMER_FUNC_TYPE and TIMER_DATA_TYPE casts</title>

<id>urn:sha1:841b86f3289dbe858daeceec36423d4ea286fac2</id>
<content type='text'>
With all callbacks converted, and the timer callback prototype
switched over, the TIMER_FUNC_TYPE cast is no longer needed,
so remove it. Conversion was done with the following scripts:

    perl -pi -e 's|\(TIMER_FUNC_TYPE\)||g' \
        $(git grep TIMER_FUNC_TYPE | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u)

    perl -pi -e 's|\(TIMER_DATA_TYPE\)||g' \
        $(git grep TIMER_DATA_TYPE | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u)

The now unused macros are also dropped from include/linux/timer.h.

<id>urn:sha1:24ed960abf1d50cb7834e99a0cfc081bc0656712</id>
<content type='text'>
This changes all DEFINE_TIMER() callbacks to use a struct timer_list
pointer instead of unsigned long. Since the data argument has already been
removed, none of these callbacks are using their argument currently, so
this renames the argument to "unused".

Done using the following semantic patch:

@match_define_timer@
declarer name DEFINE_TIMER;
identifier _timer, _callback;
@@

 DEFINE_TIMER(_timer, _callback);

@change_callback depends on match_define_timer@
identifier match_define_timer._callback;
type _origtype;
identifier _origarg;
@@

 void
-_callback(_origtype _origarg)
+_callback(struct timer_list *unused)
 { ... }

to pass the timer pointer explicitly for all users of sk_timer.
