- Fix the return code for ring_buffer_poll_wait()
It was returing a -EINVAL instead of EPOLLERR.
- Zero out the tracefs_inode so that all fields are initialized.
The ti->private could have had stale data, but instead of
just initializing it to NULL, clear out the entire structure
when it is allocated.
- Fix a crash in timerlat
The hrtimer was initialized at read and not open, but is
canceled at close. If the file was opened and never read
the close will pass a NULL pointer to hrtime_cancel().
- Rewrite of eventfs.
Linus wrote a patch series to remove the dentry references in the
eventfs_inode and to use ref counting and more of proper VFS
interfaces to make it work.
- Add warning to put_ei() if ei is not set to free. That means
something is about to free it when it shouldn't.
- Restructure the eventfs_inode to make it more compact, and remove
the unused llist field.
- Remove the fsnotify*() funtions for when the inodes were being created
in the lookup code. It doesn't make sense to notify about creation
just because something is being looked up.
- The inode hard link count was not accurate. It was being updated
when a file was looked up. The inodes of directories were updating
their parent inode hard link count every time the inode was created.
That means if memory reclaim cleaned a stale directory inode and
the inode was lookup up again, it would increment the parent inode
again as well. Al Viro said to just have all eventfs directories
have a hard link count of 1. That tells user space not to trust it.
