Note that provided ->d_dname() reproduces what we used to get for those guys in e.g. /proc/self/maps; it might be a good idea to change that to something less ugly, but for now let's keep the existing user-visible behaviour Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Running AIO is pinning inode in memory using file reference. Once AIO is completed using aio_complete(), file reference is put and inode can be freed from memory. So we have to be sure that calling aio_complete() is the last thing we do with the inode.

Allocating a file structure in function get_empty_filp() might fail because of several reasons: - not enough memory for file structures - operation is not allowed - user is over its limit Currently the function returns NULL in all cases and we loose the exact reason of the error. All callers of get_empty_filp() assume that the function can fail with ENFILE only. Return error through pointer. Change all callers to preserve this error code. [AV: cleaned up a bit, carved the get_empty_filp() part out into a separate commit (things remaining here deal with alloc_file()), removed pipe(2) behaviour change] Signed-off-by: Anatol Pomozov <anatol.pomozov@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

It's safe only under namespace_sem or vfsmount_lock; all places in fs/namespace.c that want mnt->mnt_ns->user_ns actually want to use current->nsproxy->mnt_ns->user_ns (note the calls of check_mnt() in there). Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

The ia64 function "thread_matches()" has no users since commit e868a55c ("[IA64] remove find_thread_for_addr()"). Remove it. This allows us to make ptrace_check_attach() static to kernel/ptrace.c, which is good since we'll need to change the semantics of it and fix up all the callers.
