devpts: Make each mount of devpts an independent filesystem.

2016-06-05T17:36:01Z

The /dev/ptmx device node is changed to lookup the directory entry "pts" in the same directory as the /dev/ptmx device node was opened in. If there is a "pts" entry and that entry is a devpts filesystem /dev/ptmx uses that filesystem. Otherwise the open of /dev/ptmx fails. The DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES configuration option is removed, so that userspace can now safely depend on each mount of devpts creating a new instance of the filesystem. Each mount of devpts is now a separate and equal filesystem. Reserved ttys are now available to all instances of devpts where the mounter is in the initial mount namespace. A new vfs helper path_pts is introduced that finds a directory entry named "pts" in the directory of the passed in path, and changes the passed in path to point to it. The helper path_pts uses a function path_parent_directory that was factored out of follow_dotdot. In the implementation of devpts: - devpts_mnt is killed as it is no longer meaningful if all mounts of devpts are equal. - pts_sb_from_inode is replaced by just inode->i_sb as all cached inodes in the tty layer are now from the devpts filesystem. - devpts_add_ref is rolled into the new function devpts_ptmx. And the unnecessary inode hold is removed. - devpts_del_ref is renamed devpts_release and reduced to just a deacrivate_super. - The newinstance mount option continues to be accepted but is now ignored. In devpts_fs.h definitions for when !CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS are removed as they are never used. Documentation/filesystems/devices.txt is updated to describe the current situation. This has been verified to work properly on openwrt-15.05, centos5, centos6, centos7, debian-6.0.2, debian-7.9, debian-8.2, ubuntu-14.04.3, ubuntu-15.10, fedora23, magia-5, mint-17.3, opensuse-42.1, slackware-14.1, gentoo-20151225 (13.0?), archlinux-2015-12-01. With the caveat that on centos6 and on slackware-14.1 that there wind up being two instances of the devpts filesystem mounted on /dev/pts, the lower copy does not end up getting used.

mm: check the return value of lookup_page_ext for all call sites

2016-06-03T22:06:22Z

Per the discussion with Joonsoo Kim [1], we need check the return value of lookup_page_ext() for all call sites since it might return NULL in some cases, although it is unlikely, i.e. memory hotplug. Tested with ltp with "page_owner=0".

time: Make settimeofday error checking work again

2016-06-01T19:13:43Z

In commit 86d3473224b0 some of the checking for a valid timeval was subtley changed which caused -EINVAL to be returned whenever the timeval was null. However, it is possible to set the timezone data while specifying a NULL timeval, which is usually done to handle systems where the RTC keeps local time instead of UTC. Thus the patch causes such systems to have the time incorrectly set. This patch addresses the issue by handling the error conditionals in the same way as was done previously.
