The number of uio devices that could be used should be less than
UIO_MAX_DEVICES by design, and this work guards any cases in which id
more than UIO_MAX_DEVICES is utilized.

When finding mm index for vma it looks more flexible that the mm could
be sparse, and both the size of mm and the pgoff of vma could give
correct selection.

Instead of adding uio class attributes manually after the uio device has
been created and we have sent a uevent to userspace, use the class
attribute mechanism.  This removes races and makes the code simpler.

At the same time don't bother to dynamically allocate a struct class for
uio, just declare one statically.  Less code is needed and it is easier
to set the class parameters.tune the class

register_chrdev limits uio devices to 256 minor numbers which causes
problems on one system I have with 384+ uio devices.  So instead set
UIO_MAX_DEVICES to the maximum number of minors and use
alloc_chrdev_region to reserve the uio minors.

The final result is that the code works the same but the uio driver now
supports any minor the idr allocator comes up with.

Change the value of UIO_IRQ_NONE -2 to 0.  0 is well defined in the rest
of the kernel as the value to indicate an irq has not been assigned.

Update the calls to request_irq and free_irq to only ignore UIO_IRQ_NONE
and UIO_IRQ_CUSTOM allowing the rest of the kernel's possible irq
numbers to be used.

Currently uio sets it's driver data to NULL just as it is unregistering
attributes.  sysfs maks the guaranatee that it will not call attributes
after device_destroy is called so this is unncessary and leads to lots
of unnecessary code in uio.c

There is no locking in init_uio_class so multiple
drivers can race and create multiple uio classes.

Fix this by simplifying the code.   In particular always
register the uio class during module_init and make things
simpler.

<title>llseek: automatically add .llseek fop</title>
<updated>2010-10-15T13:53:27Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=6038f373a3dc1f1c26496e60b6c40b164716f07e'/>
<id>urn:sha1:6038f373a3dc1f1c26496e60b6c40b164716f07e</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

// This adds an llseek= method to all file operations,
// as a preparation for making no_llseek the default.
//
// The rules are
// - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open
// - use seq_lseek for sequential files
// - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos
// - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos,
//   but we still want to allow users to call lseek
