[ Upstream commit 3acf1028f5003731977f750a7070f3321a9cb740 ]

The debugfs_create_dir() function returns ERR_PTR() on error, not NULL.
The current null-check fails to catch errors.

Use IS_ERR() to correctly check for errors.

[ Upstream commit 8fe72b76db79d694858e872370df49676bc3be8c ]

There was a bug where this code forgot to unlock the tdev-&gt;mutex if the
kzalloc() failed.  Fix this issue, by moving the allocation outside the
lock.

[ Upstream commit 2d1e952a2b8e5e92d8d55ac88a7cf7ca5ea591ad ]

If a user can make copy_from_user() fail, there is a potential for
UAF/DF due to a lack of locking around the allocation, use and freeing
of the data buffers.

This issue is not theoretical.  I managed to author a POC for it:

<title>vfs: do bulk POLL* -&gt; EPOLL* replacement</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a9a08845e9acbd224e4ee466f5c1275ed50054e8</id>
<content type='text'>
This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

<id>urn:sha1:e339c80af95e14de3712d69ddea09a3868fa14cd</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently we rely on the first byte of the Rx buffer to check if there's
any data available to be read. If the first byte of the received buffer
is zero (i.e. null character), then we fail to signal that data is
available even when it's available.

Instead introduce a boolean variable to track the data availability and
update it in the channel receive callback as ready and clear it when the
data is read.
