      caif: Remove OOM messages, use kzalloc · 7ac2ed0c
      Joe Perches authored 
      
Remove per site OOM messages because they duplicate
the generic mm subsystem OOM message.

Use kzalloc instead of kmalloc/memset
when next to the OOM message removals.

Reduces object size (allyesconfig ~2%)

      Revert "tty: make receive_buf() return the amout of bytes received" · 55db4c64
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      
This reverts commit b1c43f82.

It was broken in so many ways, and results in random odd pty issues.

It re-introduced the buggy schedule_work() in flush_to_ldisc() that can
cause endless work-loops (see commit a5660b41: "tty: fix endless
work loop when the buffer fills up").

It also used an "unsigned int" return value fo the ->receive_buf()
function, but then made multiple functions return a negative error code,
and didn't actually check for the error in the caller.

And it didn't actually work at all.  BenH bisected down odd tty behavior
to it:
  "It looks like the patch is causing some major malfunctions of the X
   server for me, possibly related to PTYs.  For example, cat'ing a
   large file in a gnome terminal hangs the kernel for -minutes- in a
   loop of what looks like flush_to_ldisc/workqueue code, (some ftrace
   data in the quoted bits further down).

   ...

   Some more data: It -looks- like what happens is that the
   flush_to_ldisc work queue entry constantly re-queues itself (because
   the PTY is full ?) and the workqueue thread will basically loop
   forver calling it without ever scheduling, thus starving the consumer
   process that could have emptied the PTY."

which is pretty much exactly the problem we fixed in a5660b41.

Milton Miller pointed out the 'unsigned int' issue.

      llseek: automatically add .llseek fop · 6038f373
      Arnd Bergmann authored 
      
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.

The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time.  Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.

The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

// This adds an llseek= method to all file operations,
// as a preparation for making no_llseek the default.
//
// The rules are
// - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open
// - use seq_lseek for sequential files
// - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos
// - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos,
//   but we still want to allow users to call lseek
