[PATCH 0/3] stream_open bits for Linux 5.2

From: Kirill Smelkov
Date: Mon May 06 2019 - 13:36:18 EST


Linus,

Please consider applying the following stream_open related patches:

- The first one removes unnecessary double nonseekable_open from
drivers/char/dtlk.c as noticed by Pavel Machek while reviewing
nonseekable_open -> stream_open mass conversion.

- The second one is the mass conversion patch promised in 10dce8af3422 ("fs:
stream_open - opener for stream-like files so that read and write can run
simultaneously without deadlock") and is automatically generated by running

$ make coccicheck MODE=patch COCCI=scripts/coccinelle/api/stream_open.cocci

I've verified each generated change manually - that it is correct to convert -
and each other nonseekable_open instance left - that it is either not correct
to convert there, or that it is not converted due to current stream_open.cocci
limitations. More details on this in the patch.

- The third patch changes VFS to pass ppos=NULL into .read/.write for files
that declare themselves streams. It was suggested by Rasmus Villemoes and makes
sure that if ppos starts to be erroneously used in a stream file, such bug
won't go unnoticed and will produce an oops instead of creating illusion of
position change being taken into account.

Note: this patch does not conflict with "fuse: Add FOPEN_STREAM to use
stream_open()" that will be hopefully coming via FUSE tree, because fs/fuse/
uses new-style .read_iter/.write_iter, and for these accessors position is
still passed as non-pointer kiocb.ki_pos .

I was hoping for the patches to be picked up into VFS tree, but since that did
not happenned for some reason I'm sending them to you directly.

Maybe it will help: the patches can be also pulled from here:

git pull https://lab.nexedi.com/kirr/linux.git y/stream_open-5.2


Thanks beforehand,
Kirill
