<id>urn:sha1:eec4844fae7c033a0c1fc1eb3b8517aeb8b6cc49</id>
<content type='text'>
In the sysctl code the proc_dointvec_minmax() function is often used to
validate the user supplied value between an allowed range.  This
function uses the extra1 and extra2 members from struct ctl_table as
minimum and maximum allowed value.

On sysctl handler declaration, in every source file there are some
readonly variables containing just an integer which address is assigned
to the extra1 and extra2 members, so the sysctl range is enforced.

The special values 0, 1 and INT_MAX are very often used as range
boundary, leading duplication of variables like zero=0, one=1,
int_max=INT_MAX in different source files:

    $ git grep -E '\.extra[12].*&amp;(zero|one|int_max)' |wc -l
    248

Add a const int array containing the most commonly used values, some
macros to refer more easily to the correct array member, and use them
instead of creating a local one for every object file.

This is the bloat-o-meter output comparing the old and new binary
compiled with the default Fedora config:

    # scripts/bloat-o-meter -d vmlinux.o.old vmlinux.o

<title>memcg, fsnotify: no oom-kill for remote memcg charging</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ec165450968b26298bd1c373de37b0ab6d826b33</id>
<content type='text'>
Commit d46eb14b735b ("fs: fsnotify: account fsnotify metadata to
kmemcg") added remote memcg charging for fanotify and inotify event
objects.  The aim was to charge the memory to the listener who is
interested in the events but without triggering the OOM killer.
Otherwise there would be security concerns for the listener.

At the time, oom-kill trigger was not in the charging path.  A parallel
work added the oom-kill back to charging path i.e.  commit 29ef680ae7c2
("memcg, oom: move out_of_memory back to the charge path").  So to not
trigger oom-killer in the remote memcg, explicitly add
__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL to the fanotigy and inotify event allocations.

 "Most of this pile is putting name length into struct name_snapshot and
  making use of it.

  The beginning of this series ("ovl_lookup_real_one(): don't bother

  name_snapshot to struct qstr from overlayfs reaping the trivial
  benefits of that), but I wanted to avoid a rebase - by the time I'd
  spotted that it was (a) in -next and (b) close to 5.1-final ;-/"

<title>fsnotify: report FS_ISDIR flag with MOVE_SELF and DELETE_SELF events</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=0a20df7ed3349dfa3260ddee2efa919df44d0ad5'/>
<id>urn:sha1:0a20df7ed3349dfa3260ddee2efa919df44d0ad5</id>
<content type='text'>
We need to report FS_ISDIR flag with MOVE_SELF and DELETE_SELF events
for fanotify, because fanotify API requires the user to explicitly
request events on directories by FAN_ONDIR flag.

inotify never reported IN_ISDIR with those events. It looks like an
oversight, but to avoid the risk of breaking existing inotify programs,
mask the FS_ISDIR flag out when reprting those events to inotify backend.

We also add the FS_ISDIR flag with FS_ATTRIB event in the case of rename
over an empty target directory. inotify did not report IN_ISDIR in this
case, but it normally does report IN_ISDIR along with IN_ATTRIB event,
so in this case, we do not mask out the FS_ISDIR flag.
