proc: fix /proc/*/pagemap some more

2008-08-01T19:43:04Z

commit ee1e6ab6056a8b9c19377257002da98b83819531 upstream struct pagemap_walk was placed on stack, some hooks are initialized, the rest (->pgd_entry, ->pud_entry, ->pte_entry) are valid but junk.

Fix pagemap_read() use of struct mm_walk

2008-07-05T20:13:44Z

Fix some issues in pagemap_read noted by Alexey: - initialize pagemap_walk.mm to "mm" , so the code starts working as advertised - initialize ->private to "&pm" so it wouldn't immediately oops in pagemap_pte_hole() - unstatic struct pagemap_walk, so two threads won't fsckup each other (including those started by root, including flipping ->mm when you don't have permissions) - pagemap_read() contains two calls to ptrace_may_attach(), second one looks unneeded. - avoid possible kmalloc(0) and integer wraparound.

Fix clear_refs_write() use of struct mm_walk

2008-07-05T20:07:56Z

Don't use a static entry, so as to prevent races during concurrent use of this function. Reported-by: Alexey Dobriyan Cc: Matt Mackall Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

pagemap: fix large pages in pagemap

2008-06-13T01:05:41Z

We were walking right into huge page areas in the pagemap walker, and calling the pmds pmd_bad() and clearing them. That leaked huge pages. Bad. This patch at least works around that for now. It ignores huge pages in the pagemap walker for the time being, and won't leak those pages.

pagemap: pass mm into pagewalkers

2008-06-13T01:05:41Z

We need this at least for huge page detection for now, because powerpc needs the vm_area_struct to be able to determine whether a virtual address is referring to a huge page (its pmd_huge() doesn't work). It might also come in handy for some of the other users. Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen Acked-by: Matt Mackall Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

pagemap: return EINVAL, not EIO, for unaligned reads of kpagecount or kpageflags

2008-06-06T18:29:13Z

If the user tries to read from a position that is not a multiple of 8, or read a number of bytes that is not a multiple of 8, they have passed an invalid argument to read, for the purpose of reading these files. It's not an IO error because we didn't encounter any trouble finding the data they asked for. Signed-off-by: Thomas Tuttle Cc: Matt Mackall Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

pagemap: return map count, not reference count, in /proc/kpagecount

2008-06-06T18:29:13Z

Since pagemap is all about examining pages mapped into processes' memory spaces, it makes sense for kpagecount to return the map counts, not the reference counts. Signed-off-by: Thomas Tuttle Cc: Matt Mackall Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

proc: calculate the correct /proc/ link count

2008-06-06T18:29:13Z

This patch: commit e9720acd728a46cb40daa52c99a979f7c4ff195c Author: Pavel Emelyanov Date: Fri Mar 7 11:08:40 2008 -0800 [NET]: Make /proc/net a symlink on /proc/self/net (v3) introduced a /proc/self/net directory without bumping the corresponding link count for /proc/self. This patch replaces the static link count initializations with a call that counts the number of directory entries in the given pid_entry table whenever it is instantiated, and thus relieves the burden of manually keeping the two in sync.

pagemap: fix bug in add_to_pagemap, require aligned-length reads of /proc/pid/pagemap

2008-06-06T18:29:11Z

Fix a bug in add_to_pagemap. Previously, since pm->out was a char *, put_user was only copying 1 byte of every PFN, resulting in the top 7 bytes of each PFN not being copied. By requiring that reads be a multiple of 8 bytes, I can make pm->out and pm->end u64*s instead of char*s, which makes put_user work properly, and also simplifies the logic in add_to_pagemap a bit.
