Greg Hackmann ed63bb1d1f dma-buf: give each buffer a full-fledged inode
By traversing /proc/*/fd and /proc/*/map_files, processes with CAP_ADMIN
can get a lot of fine-grained data about how shmem buffers are shared
among processes.  stat(2) on each entry gives the caller a unique
ID (st_ino), the buffer's size (st_size), and even the number of pages
currently charged to the buffer (st_blocks / 512).

In contrast, all dma-bufs share the same anonymous inode.  So while we
can count how many dma-buf fds or mappings a process has, we can't get
the size of the backing buffers or tell if two entries point to the same
dma-buf.  On systems with debugfs, we can get a per-buffer breakdown of
size and reference count, but can't tell which processes are actually
holding the references to each buffer.

Replace the singleton inode with full-fledged inodes allocated by
alloc_anon_inode().  This involves creating and mounting a
mini-pseudo-filesystem for dma-buf, following the example in fs/aio.c.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
