seq_file: Optimize seq_puts()

Most of seq_puts() usages are done with a string literal. In such cases,
the length of the string car be computed at compile time in order to save
a strlen() call at run-time. seq_putc() or seq_write() can then be used
instead.

This saves a few cycles.

use less confusing names for iov_iter direction initializers

READ/WRITE proved to be actively confusing - the meanings are
"data destination, as used with read(2)" and "data source, as
used with write(2)", but people keep interpreting those as
"we read data from it" and "we write data to it", i.e. exactly
the wrong way.

Call them ITER_DEST and ITER_SOURCE - at least that is harder
to misinterpret...

rxrpc: Fix locking issue

There's a locking issue with the per-netns list of calls in rxrpc. The
pieces of code that add and remove a call from the list use write_lock()
and the calls procfile uses read_lock() to access it. However, the timer
callback function may trigger a removal by trying to queue a call for
processing and finding that it's already queued - at which point it has a
spare refcount that it has to do something with. Unfortunately, if it puts
the call and this reduces the refcount to 0, the call will be removed from
the list. Unfortunately, since the _bh variants of the locking functions
aren't used, this can deadlock.

fix return values of seq_read_iter()

Unlike ->read(), ->read_iter() instances *must* return the amount
of data they'd left in iterator. For ->read() returning less than
it has actually copied is a QoI issue; read(fd, unmapped_page - 5, 8)
is allowed to fill all 5 bytes of destination and return 4; it's
not nice to caller, but POSIX allows pretty much anything in such
situation, up to and including a SIGSEGV.

generic_file_splice_read() uses pipe-backed iterator as destination;
there a short copy comes from pipe being full, not from running into
an un{mapped,writable} page in the middle of destination as we
have for iovec-backed iterators read(2) uses. And there we rely
upon the ->read_iter() reporting the actual amount it has left
in destination.

Conversion of a ->read() instance into ->read_iter() has to watch
out for that. If you really need an "all or nothing" kind of
behaviour somewhere, you need to do iov_iter_revert() to prune
the partial copy.

In case of seq_read_iter() we can handle short copy just fine;
the data is in m->buf and next call will fetch it from there.

Patch series "seq_file .next functions should increase position index".

In Aug 2018 NeilBrown noticed commit 1f4aace60b0e ("fs/seq_file.c:

"Some ->next functions do not increment *pos when they return NULL...
Note that such ->next functions are buggy and should be fixed. A simple
demonstration is dd if=/proc/swaps bs=1000 skip=1 Choose any block size
larger than the size of /proc/swaps. This will always show the whole
last line of /proc/swaps"

Described problem is still actual. If you make lseek into middle of
last output line following read will output end of last line and whole
last line once again.

$ dd if=/proc/swaps bs=1 # usual output

/dev/dm-0 partition 4194812 97536 -2

seq_file: fix problem when seeking mid-record

If you use lseek or similar (e.g. pread) to access a location in a
seq_file file that is within a record, rather than at a record boundary,
then the first read will return the remainder of the record, and the
second read will return the whole of that same record (instead of the
next record). When seeking to a record boundary, the next record is
correctly returned.

This bug was introduced by a recent patch (identified below). Before
that patch, seq_read() would increment m->index when the last of the
buffer was returned (m->count == 0). After that patch, we rely on
->next to increment m->index after filling the buffer - but there was
one place where that didn't happen.

nfsd: escape high characters in binary data

I'm exposing some information about NFS clients in pseudofiles. I
expect to eventually have simple tools to help read those pseudofiles.

But it's also helpful if the raw files are human-readable to the extent
possible. It aids debugging and makes them usable on systems that don't
have the latest nfs-utils.

A minor challenge there is opaque client-generated protocol objects like
state owners and client identifiers. Some clients generate those to
include handy information in plain ascii. But they may also include
arbitrary byte sequences.

I think the simplest approach is to limit to isprint(c) && isascii(c)
and escape everything else.

That means you can just cat the file and get something that looks OK.
Also, I'm trying to keep these files legal YAML, which requires them to
UTF-8, and this is a simple way to guarantee that.

fs/seq_file.c: simplify seq_file iteration code and interface

The documentation for seq_file suggests that it is necessary to be able
to move the iterator to a given offset, however that is not the case.
If the iterator is stored in the private data and is stable from one
read() syscall to the next, it is only necessary to support first/next
interactions. Implementing this in a client is a little clumsy.

- if ->start() is given a pos of zero, it should go to start of
sequence.

- if ->start() is given the name pos that was given to the most recent
next() or start(), it should restore the iterator to state just
before that last call

- if ->start is given another number, it should set the iterator one
beyond the start just before the last ->start or ->next call.

Also, the documentation says that the implementation can interpret the
pos however it likes (other than zero meaning start), but seq_file
increments the pos sometimes which does impose on the implementation.

This patch simplifies the interface for first/next iteration and
simplifies the code, while maintaining complete backward compatability.
Now:

- if ->start() is given a pos of zero, it should return an iterator
placed at the start of the sequence

- if ->start() is given a non-zero pos, it should return the iterator
in the same state it was after the last ->start or ->next.

This is particularly useful for interators which walk the multiple
chains in a hash table, e.g. using rhashtable_walk*. See
fs/gfs2/glock.c and drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/llite/vvp_dev.c

A large part of achieving this is to *always* call ->next after ->show
has successfully stored all of an entry in the buffer. Never just
increment the index instead. Also:

- always pass &m->index to ->start() and ->next(), never a temp
variable

- don't clear ->from when ->count is zero, as ->from is dead when
->count is zero.

Some ->next functions do not increment *pos when they return NULL. To
maintain compatability with this, we still need to increment m->index in
one place, if ->next didn't increment it. Note that such ->next
functions are buggy and should be fixed. A simple demonstration is

dd if=/proc/swaps bs=1000 skip=1

Choose any block size larger than the size of /proc/swaps. This will
always show the whole last line of /proc/swaps.

This patch doesn't work around buggy next() functions for this case.
