In function show_map (file: fs/proc/task_mmu.c), if vma-&gt;vm_pgoff &gt; 2^20
than (vma-&gt;vm_pgoff &lt;&lt; PAGE_SIZE) is greater than 2^32 (with PAGE_SIZE
equal to 4096 (i.e.  2^12).  The next seq_printf use an unsigned long for
the conversion of (vma-&gt;vm_pgoff &lt;&lt; PAGE_SIZE), as a result the offset
value displayed in /proc/self/maps is truncated if the page offset is
greater than 2^20.

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 "&amp; 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.

Simplify the code of include/linux/task_io_accounting.h.

It is also more reasonable to have all the task i/o-related statistics in a
single struct (task_io_accounting).

Put all i/o statistics in struct proc_io_accounting and use inline functions to
initialize and increment statistics, removing a lot of single variable
assignments.

This also reduces the kernel size as following (with CONFIG_TASK_XACCT=y and
CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING=y).

Oleg Nesterov points out that we should check that the task is still alive
before we iterate over the threads.  This patch includes a fixup for this.

Also simplify do_io_accounting() implementation.

* kill nameidata * argument; map the 3 bits in -&gt;flags anybody cares
  about to new MAY_... ones and pass with the mask.
* kill redundant gfs2_iop_permission()
* sanitize ecryptfs_permission()
* fix remaining places where -&gt;permission() instances might barf on new
  MAY_... found in mask.

The obvious next target in that direction is permission(9)

folded fix for nfs_permission() breakage from Miklos Szeredi &lt;mszeredi@suse.cz&gt;

* keep references to ctl_table_head and ctl_table in /proc/sys inodes
* grab the former during operations, use the latter for access to
  entry if that succeeds
* have -&gt;d_compare() check if table should be seen for one who does lookup;
  that allows us to avoid flipping inodes - if we have the same name resolve
  to different things, we'll just keep several dentries and -&gt;d_compare()
  will reject the wrong ones.
* have -&gt;lookup() and -&gt;readdir() scan the table of our inode first, then
  walk all ctl_table_header and scan -&gt;attached_by for those that are
  attached to our directory.
* implement -&gt;getattr().
* get rid of insane amounts of tree-walking
* get rid of the need to know dentry in -&gt;permission() and of the contortions
  induced by that.
