All file operations now have an explicit .llseek
operation pointer, so we can change the default
action for future code.
This makes changes the default from default_llseek
to no_llseek, which always returns -ESPIPE if
a user tries to seek on a file without a .llseek
operation.
The name of the default_llseek function remains
unchanged, if anyone thinks we should change it,
please speak up.

There are currently 191 users of default_llseek.
Nine of these are in device drivers that use the
big kernel lock. None of these ever touch
file->f_pos outside of llseek or file_pos_write.
Consequently, we never rely on the BKL
in the default_llseek function and can
replace that with i_mutex, which is also
used in generic_file_llseek.

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.

The raw_fops may need to seek, so there should

raw_ctl_fops does not contain a read or write

In future kernels, debugfs files need to specify
the llseek operation explicitly to allow seeking.
This sets the llseek operation in the omap iommu
debugfs files to generic_file_llseek, which is
appropriate for files using simple_read_from_buffer.

When the default llseek behavior gets changed to
not allowing seek, all file operations that rely
on the current behaviour need to use an explicit
.llseek operation.
The files that lkdtm uses in debugfs are regular
files and they get read using simple_read_from_buffer,
so generic_file_llseek is the right operation.

The default llseek operation is changing from
default_llseek to no_llseek, so all code relying on
the current behaviour needs to make that explicit.
The wireless driver infrastructure and some of the drivers
make use of generated debugfs files, so they cannot
be converted by our script that automatically determines
the right operation.
All these files use debugfs and they typically rely
on simple_read_from_buffer, so the best llseek operation
here is generic_file_llseek.

The drm device drivers currently allow seeking on the
character device but never care about the actual
file position.
When we change the default llseek operation to be
no_llseek, calling llseek on a drm device would
return an error condition, which is an API change.
Explicitly setting noop_llseek lets us keep the
current API.

This prepares the removal of the big kernel lock from the
file locking code. We still use the BKL as long as fs/lockd
uses it and ceph might sleep, but we can flip the definition
to a private spinlock as soon as that's done.
All users outside of fs/lockd get converted to use
lock_flocks() instead of lock_kernel() where appropriate.
Based on an earlier patch to use a spinlock from Matthew
Wilcox, who has attempted this a few times before, the
earliest patch from over 10 years ago turned it into
a semaphore, which ended up being slower than the BKL
and was subsequently reverted.
Someone should do some serious performance testing when
this becomes a spinlock, since this has caused problems
before. Using a spinlock should be at least as good
as the BKL in theory, but who knows...

Dozen of changes in ncpfs to provide some locking other than BKL.
In readdir cache unlock and mark complete first page as last operation,
so it can be used for synchronization, as code intended.
When updating dentry name on case insensitive filesystems do at least
some basic locking...
Hold i_mutex when updating inode fields.
Push some ncp_conn_is_valid down to ncp_request. Connection can become
invalid at any moment, and fewer error code paths to test the better.
Use i_size_{read,write} to modify file size.
Set inode's backing_dev_info as ncpfs has its own special bdi.
In ioctl unbreak ioctls invoked on filesystem mounted 'ro' - tests are
for inode writeable or owner match, but were turned to filesystem
writeable and inode writeable or owner match. Also collect all permission
checks in single place.
Add some locking, and remove comments saying that it would be cool to
add some locks to the code.
Constify some pointers.

The BKL in ocfs2/dlmfs is used in put_super, fill_super and remount_fs
that are all three protected by the superblocks s_umount rw_semaphore.
The use in ocfs2_control_open is evidently unrelated and the function
is protected by ocfs2_control_lock.
Therefore it is safe to remove the BKL entirely.

autofs4 uses the BKL only to guard its ioctl operations.
This can be trivially converted to use a mutex, as we have
done with most device drivers before.

As in other file systems, we can replace the big kernel lock
with a private mutex in isofs. This means we can now access
multiple file systems concurrently, but it also means that
we serialize readdir and lookup across sleeping operations
which previously released the big kernel lock. This should
not matter though, as these operations are in practice
serialized through the hardware access.
The isofs_get_blocks functions now does not take any lock
any more, it used to recursively get the BKL. After looking
at the code for hours, I convinced myself that it was never
needed here anyway, because it only reads constant fields
of the inode and writes to a buffer head array that is
at this time only visible to the caller.
The get_sb and fill_super operations do not need the locking
at all because they operate on a file system that is either
about to be created or to be destroyed but in either case
is not visible to other threads.

The lock_kernel in fat_put_super is not needed because
it only protects the super block itself and we know that
no other thread can reach it because we are about to
kfree the object.
In the two fill_super functions, this converts the locking
to use lock_super like elsewhere in the fat code. This
is probably not needed either, but is consistent and puts
us on the safe side.

The BKL is still used in ext2_put_super(), ext2_fill_super(), ext2_sync_fs()
ext2_remount() and ext2_write_inode(). From these calls ext2_put_super(),
ext2_fill_super() and ext2_remount() are protected against each other by
the struct super_block s_umount rw semaphore. The call in ext2_write_inode()
could only protect the modification of the ext2_sb_info through
ext2_update_dynamic_rev() against concurrent ext2_sync_fs() or ext2_remount().
ext2_fill_super() and ext2_put_super() can be left out because you need a
valid filesystem reference in all three cases, which you do not have when
you are one of these functions.
If the BKL is only protecting the modification of the ext2_sb_info it can
safely be removed since this is protected by the struct ext2_sb_info s_lock.

This patch is a preparation necessary to remove the BKL from do_new_mount().
It explicitly adds calls to lock_kernel()/unlock_kernel() around
get_sb/fill_super operations for filesystems that still uses the BKL.
I've read through all the code formerly covered by the BKL inside
do_kern_mount() and have satisfied myself that it doesn't need the BKL
any more.
do_kern_mount() is already called without the BKL when mounting the rootfs
and in nfsctl. do_kern_mount() calls vfs_kern_mount(), which is called
from various places without BKL: simple_pin_fs(), nfs_do_clone_mount()
through nfs_follow_mountpoint(), afs_mntpt_do_automount() through
afs_mntpt_follow_link(). Both later functions are actually the filesystems
follow_link inode operation. vfs_kern_mount() is calling the specified
get_sb function and lets the filesystem do its job by calling the given
fill_super function.
Therefore I think it is safe to push down the BKL from the VFS to the
low-level filesystems get_sb/fill_super operation.
[arnd: do not add the BKL to those file systems that already
don't use it elsewhere]

The block device drivers have all gained new lock_kernel
calls from a recent pushdown, and some of the drivers
were already using the BKL before.
This turns the BKL into a set of per-driver mutexes.
Still need to check whether this is safe to do.

All these files use the big kernel lock in a trivial
way to serialize their private file operations,
typically resulting from an earlier semi-automatic
pushdown from VFS.
None of these drivers appears to want to lock against
other code, and they all use the BKL as the top-level
lock in their file operations, meaning that there
is no lock-order inversion problem.
Consequently, we can remove the BKL completely,
replacing it with a per-file mutex in every case.
Using a scripted approach means we can avoid
typos.
These drivers do not seem to be under active
maintainance from my brief investigation. Apologies
to those maintainers that I have missed.
