[PATCH 07/39] introduce struct fderr, convert overlayfs uses to that

[viro@kernel.org]

From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Similar to struct fd; unlike struct fd, it can represent
error values.

Accessors:

* fd_empty(f):	true if f represents an error
* fd_file(f):	just as for struct fd it yields a pointer to
		struct file if fd_empty(f) is false.  If
		fd_empty(f) is true, fd_file(f) is guaranteed
		_not_ to be an address of any object (IS_ERR()
		will be true in that case)
* fd_error(f):	if f represents an error, returns that error,
		otherwise the return value is junk.

Constructors:

* ERR_FD(-E...):	an instance encoding given error [ERR_FDERR, perhaps?]
* BORROWED_FDERR(file):	if file points to a struct file instance,
			return a struct fderr representing that file
			reference with no flags set.
			if file is an ERR_PTR(-E...), return a struct
			fderr representing that error.
			file MUST NOT be NULL.
* CLONED_FDERR(file):	similar, but in case when file points to
			a struct file instance, set FDPUT_FPUT in flags.

Same destructor as for struct fd; I'm not entirely convinced that
playing with _Generic is a good idea here, but for now let's go
that way...

See fs/overlayfs/file.c for example of use.
