struct proc_dir_entry::owner is going to be removed. Now it's only necessary
to protect PDEs which are using ->read_proc, ->write_proc hooks.
However, ->owner assignments are racy and make it very easy for someone to switch
->owner on live PDE (as some subsystems do) without fixing refcounts and so on.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12454
So, ->owner is on death row.
Proxy file operations exist already (proc_file_operations), just bump usecount
when necessary.

There are four BKL users in proc: de_put(), proc_lookup_de(),
proc_readdir_de(), proc_root_readdir(),
1) de_put()
-----------
de_put() is classic atomic_dec_and_test() refcount wrapper -- no BKL
needed. BKL doesn't matter to possible refcount leak as well.
2) proc_lookup_de()
-------------------
Walking PDE list is protected by proc_subdir_lock(), proc_get_inode() is
potentially blocking, all callers of proc_lookup_de() eventually end up
from ->lookup hooks which is protected by directory's ->i_mutex -- BKL
doesn't protect anything.
3) proc_readdir_de()
--------------------
"." and ".." part doesn't need BKL, walking PDE list is under
proc_subdir_lock, calling filldir callback is potentially blocking
because it writes to luserspace. All proc_readdir_de() callers
eventually come from ->readdir hook which is under directory's
->i_mutex -- BKL doesn't protect anything.
4) proc_root_readdir_de()
-------------------------
proc_root_readdir_de is ->readdir hook, see (3).
Since readdir hooks doesn't use BKL anymore, switch to
generic_file_llseek, since it also takes directory's i_mutex.

Id which proc gets from IDR for inode number and id which proc removes
from IDR do not match. E.g. 0x11a transforms into 0x8000011a.
Which stayed unnoticed for a long time because, surprise, idr_remove()
masks out that high bit before doing anything.
All of this due to "| ~MAX_ID_MASK" in release_inode_number().
I still don't understand how it's supposed to work, because "| ~MASK"
is not an inversion for "& MAX" operation.
So, use just one nice, working addition. Make start offset unsigned int,
while I'm at it. It's longness is not used anywhere.

Current two-stage scheme of removing PDE emphasizes one bug in proc:
open
rmmod
remove_proc_entry
close
->release won't be called because ->proc_fops were cleared. In simple
cases it's small memory leak.
For every ->open, ->release has to be done. List of openers is introduced
which is traversed at remove_proc_entry() if neeeded.

If valid "parent" is passed to proc_create/remove_proc_entry(), then name of
PDE should consist of only one path component, otherwise creation or or
removal will fail. However, if NULL is passed as parent then create/remove
accept full path as a argument. This is arbitrary restriction -- all
infrastructure is in place.
So, patch allows the following to succeed:
create_proc_entry("foo/bar", 0, pde_baz);
remove_proc_entry("baz/foo/bar", &proc_root);
Also makes the following to behave identically:
create_proc_entry("foo/bar", 0, NULL);
create_proc_entry("foo/bar", 0, &proc_root);
Discrepancy noticed by Den Lunev (IIRC).

Current /proc/net is done with so called "shadows", but current
implementation is broken and has little chances to get fixed.
The problem is that dentries subtree of /proc/net directory has
fancy revalidation rules to make processes living in different
net namespaces see different entries in /proc/net subtree, but
currently, tasks see in the /proc/net subdir the contents of any
other namespace, depending on who opened the file first.
The proposed fix is to turn /proc/net into a symlink, which points
to /proc/self/net, which in turn shows what previously was in
/proc/net - the network-related info, from the net namespace the
appropriate task lives in.
# ls -l /proc/net
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Mar 5 15:17 /proc/net -> self/net
In other words - this behaves like /proc/mounts, but unlike
"mounts", "net" is not a file, but a directory.
Changes from v2:
* Fixed discrepancy of /proc/net nlink count and selinux labeling
screwup pointed out by Stephen.
To get the correct nlink count the ->getattr callback for /proc/net
is overridden to read one from the net->proc_net entry.
To make selinux still work the net->proc_net entry is initialized
properly, i.e. with the "net" name and the proc_net parent.
Selinux fixes are

Typical PDE creation code looks like:
pde = create_proc_entry("foo", 0, NULL);
if (pde)
pde->proc_fops = &foo_proc_fops;
Notice that PDE is first created, only then ->proc_fops is set up to
final value. This is a problem because right after creation
a) PDE is fully visible in /proc , and
b) ->proc_fops are proc_file_operations which do not have ->open callback. So, it's
possible to ->read without ->open (see one class of oopses below).
The fix is new API called proc_create() which makes sure ->proc_fops are
set up before gluing PDE to main tree. Typical new code looks like:
pde = proc_create("foo", 0, NULL, &foo_proc_fops);
if (!pde)
return -ENOMEM;
Fix most networking users for a start.
In the long run, create_proc_entry() for regular files will go.

Pseudo-code for lookup effectively is:
LOCK kernel
LOCK proc_subdir_lock
find PDE
UNLOCK proc_subdir_lock
get inode
LOCK proc_subdir_lock
goto unlock
UNLOCK proc_subdir_lock
UNLOCK kernel
We can get rid of LOCK/UNLOCK pair after getting inode simply by jumping
to unlock_kernel() directly.

Ultimately to implement /proc perfectly we need an implementation of
d_revalidate because files and directories can be removed behind the back
of the VFS, and d_revalidate is the only way we can let the VFS know that
this has happened.
Unfortunately the linux VFS can not cope with anything in the path to a
mount point going away. So a proper d_revalidate method that calls d_drop
also needs to call have_submounts which is moderately expensive, so you
really don't want a d_revalidate method that unconditionally calls it, but
instead only calls it when the backing object has really gone away.
proc generic entries only disappear on module_unload (when not counting the
fledgling network namespace) so it is quite rare that we actually encounter
that case and has not actually caused us real world trouble yet.
So until we get a proper test for keeping dentries in the dcache fix the
current d_revalidate method by completely removing it. This returns us to
the current status quo.
So with CONFIG_NETNS=n things should look as they have always looked.
For CONFIG_NETNS=y things work most of the time but there are a few rare
corner cases that don't behave properly. As the network namespace is
barely present in 2.6.24 this should not be a problem.
