2018-10-21memfd: Convert memfd_tag_pins to XArrayMatthew Wilcox
Switch to a batch-processing model like memfd_wait_for_pins() and use the xa_state previously set up by memfd_wait_for_pins(). Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@oracle.com>
2018-10-21memfd: Convert memfd_wait_for_pins to XArrayMatthew Wilcox
Simplify the locking by taking the spinlock while we walk the tree on the assumption that many acquires and releases of the lock will be worse than holding the lock while we process an entire batch of pages.

2018-07-12alloc_file(): switch to passing O_... flags instead of FMODE_... modeAl Viro
... so that it could set both ->f_flags and ->f_mode, without callers having to set ->f_flags manually. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2018-06-07mm: restructure memfd codeMike Kravetz
With the addition of memfd hugetlbfs support, we now have the situation where memfd depends on TMPFS -or- HUGETLBFS. Previously, memfd was only supported on tmpfs, so it made sense that the code resided in shmem.c. In the current code, memfd is only functional if TMPFS is defined. If HUGETLFS is defined and TMPFS is not defined, then memfd functionality will not be available for hugetlbfs. This does not cause BUGs, just a lack of potentially desired functionality. Code is restructured in the following way: - include/linux/memfd.h is a new file containing memfd specific definitions previously contained in shmem_fs.h. - mm/memfd.c is a new file containing memfd specific code previously contained in shmem.c. - memfd specific code is removed from shmem_fs.h and shmem.c. - A new config option MEMFD_CREATE is added that is defined if TMPFS or HUGETLBFS is defined. No functional changes are made to the code: restructuring only.
