Previously there was an additional check if variable pos is not null.
However, this check happens after entering while loop and only then,
which can happen only if pos is not null.
Therefore the additional check is redundant and can be removed.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - A comprehensive rewrite of the robust/PI futex code's exit handling
     to fix various exit races. (Thomas Gleixner et al)

   - Rework the generic REFCOUNT_FULL implementation using
     atomic_fetch_* operations so that the performance impact of the
     cmpxchg() loops is mitigated for common refcount operations.

     With these performance improvements the generic implementation of
     refcount_t should be good enough for everybody - and this got
     confirmed by performance testing, so remove ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT and
     REFCOUNT_FULL entirely, leaving the generic implementation enabled
     unconditionally. (Will Deacon)

   - Other misc changes, fixes, cleanups"

<title>kernfs: use 64bit inos if ino_t is 64bit</title>

<id>urn:sha1:40430452fd5da1509177ac597b394614cd3a121f</id>
<content type='text'>
Each kernfs_node is identified with a 64bit ID.  The low 32bit is
exposed as ino and the high gen.  While this already allows using inos
as keys by looking up with wildcard generation number of 0, it's
adding unnecessary complications for 64bit ino archs which can
directly use kernfs_node IDs as inos to uniquely identify each cgroup
instance.

This patch exposes IDs directly as inos on 64bit ino archs.  The
conversion is mostly straight-forward.

* 32bit ino archs behave the same as before.  64bit ino archs now use
  the whole 64bit ID as ino and the generation number is fixed at 1.

* 64bit inos still use the same idr allocator which gurantees that the
  lower 32bits identify the current live instance uniquely and the
  high 32bits are incremented whenever the low bits wrap.  As the
  upper 32bits are no longer used as gen and we don't wanna start ino
  allocation with 33rd bit set, the initial value for highbits
  allocation is changed to 0 on 64bit ino archs.

* blktrace exposes two 32bit numbers - (INO,GEN) pair - to identify
  the issuing cgroup.  Userland builds FILEID_INO32_GEN fids from
  these numbers to look up the cgroups.  To remain compatible with the
  behavior, always output (LOW32,HIGH32) which will be constructed
  back to the original 64bit ID by __kernfs_fh_to_dentry().

<title>kernfs: combine ino/id lookup functions into kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_id()</title>

<content type='text'>
kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino() looks the kernfs_node matching the
specified ino.  On top of that, kernfs_get_node_by_id() and
kernfs_fh_get_inode() implement full ID matching by testing the rest
of ID.

On surface, confusingly, the two are slightly different in that the
latter uses 0 gen as wildcard while the former doesn't - does it mean
that the latter can't uniquely identify inodes w/ 0 gen?  In practice,
this is a distinction without a difference because generation number
starts at 1.  There are no actual IDs with 0 gen, so it can always
safely used as wildcard.

Let's simplify the code by renaming kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino()
to kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_id(), moving all lookup logics into it,
and removing now unnecessary kernfs_get_node_by_id().

<title>kernfs: convert kernfs_node-&gt;id from union kernfs_node_id to u64</title>

<content type='text'>
kernfs_node-&gt;id is currently a union kernfs_node_id which represents
either a 32bit (ino, gen) pair or u64 value.  I can't see much value
in the usage of the union - all that's needed is a 64bit ID which the
current code is already limited to.  Using a union makes the code
unnecessarily complicated and prevents using 64bit ino without adding
practical benefits.

This patch drops union kernfs_node_id and makes kernfs_node-&gt;id a u64.
ino is stored in the lower 32bits and gen upper.  Accessors -
kernfs[_id]_ino() and kernfs[_id]_gen() - are added to retrieve the
ino and gen.  This simplifies ID handling less cumbersome and will
allow using 64bit inos on supported archs.

This patch doesn't make any functional changes.

kernfs node can be created in two separate steps - allocation and
activation.  This is used to make kernfs nodes visible only after the
internal states attached to the node are fully initialized.
kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_id() currently allows lookups of nodes
which aren't activated yet and thus can expose nodes are which are
still being prepped by kernfs users.

Fix it by disallowing lookups of nodes which aren't activated yet.

<title>kernfs: use dumber locking for kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino()</title>

<content type='text'>
kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino() uses RCU protection.  It's currently
a bit buggy because it can look up a node which hasn't been activated
yet and thus may end up exposing a node that the kernfs user is still
prepping.

While it can be fixed by pushing it further in the current direction,
it's already complicated and isn't clear whether the complexity is
justified.  The main use of kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino() is for
exportfs operations.  They aren't super hot and all the follow-up
operations (e.g. mapping to path) use normal locking anyway.

Let's switch to a dumber locking scheme and protect the lookup with
kernfs_idr_lock.

<content type='text'>
When the 32bit ino wraps around, kernfs increments the generation
number to distinguish reused ino instances.  The wrap-around detection
tests whether the allocated ino is lower than what the cursor but the
cursor is pointing to the next ino to allocate so the condition never
triggers.

Fix it by remembering the last ino and comparing against that.

<content type='text'>
In kernfs_path_from_node_locked(), there is an if statement on line 147
to check whether buf is NULL:
    if (buf)

When buf is NULL, it is used on line 151:
    len += strlcpy(buf + len, parent_str, ...)
and line 158:
    len += strlcpy(buf + len, "/", ...)
and line 160:
    len += strlcpy(buf + len, kn-&gt;name, ...)

Thus, possible null-pointer dereferences may occur.

To fix these possible bugs, buf is checked before being used.
If it is NULL, -EINVAL is returned.

These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
