Subject: [PATCH] fix proc_reg_get_unmapped_area()

Commit c4fe24485729fc2cbff324c111e67a1cc2f9adea ("sparc: fix PCI device
proc file mmap(2)"), while fixing one problem, introduced two new ones:
- the function truncates the return value from ->get_unmapped_area() on
64-bit architectures,
- _all_ descendants are now required to set .get_unmapped_area to non-
NULL, which wasn't necessary before (and shouldn't be).

Both - afaict - are a result from a too simplistic copy'n'paste from
proc_reg_mmap() done in that change.

This likely also addresses reports like the one at
http://linux-kernel.2935.n7.nabble.com/mmap-for-proc-vmcore-broken-since-3-12-rc1-td729326.html.

I think these two patches will address the problems:

http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/procfs-fix-unintended-truncation-of-returned-mapped-address.patch
http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/procfs-call-default-get_unmapped_area-on-mmu-present-architectures.patch

I'll be sending those Linuswards today. Please check them. (I think
your version would break the nommu build).

Yes indeed - I did search for existing patches, but didn't find them.
I see Linus merged them already, so there's no point anymore
sending Reviewed-by tags.

I think though that in the !MMU case the second of them leaves an
issue unfixed nevertheless: If the specific procfs handler has no
.get_unmapped_area, the operation would still fail in that case
rather than succeed as it did before that wrapper got added.)

Yes, there remains difference on no-mmu that if mmap is not defined, mmap() now returns
EIO, it should return ENODEV.

In mm/nommu.c,

/* eliminate any capabilities that we can't support on this
* device */
if (!file->f_op->get_unmapped_area)
capabilities &= ~BDI_CAP_MAP_DIRECT;

and

*/
if (capabilities & BDI_CAP_MAP_DIRECT) {
addr = file->f_op->get_unmapped_area(file, addr, len,
pgoff, flags);
if (IS_ERR_VALUE(addr)) {
ret = addr;
if (ret != -ENOSYS)
goto error_just_free;

/* the driver refused to tell us where to site
* the mapping so we'll have to attempt to copy
* it */
ret = -ENODEV;
if (!(capabilities & BDI_CAP_MAP_COPY))
goto error_just_free;

capabilities &= ~BDI_CAP_MAP_DIRECT;
} else {
vma->vm_start = region->vm_start = addr;
vma->vm_end = region->vm_end = addr + len;
}
}

So, how about let proc_reg_get_unmapped_area() return ENOSYS, not EIO?

No, afaict it should succeed (and simply use the address that came in).
