It seems this isn't an issue with ext4 itself. Instead, the implementation
in uprobe_mmap() seems not respecting the principle that read_cache_page()
should be called while holding mapping->invalidate_lock.
Although the files tracked through uprobe are generally not modified, so
this should not cause a real stale page cache issue. However, I was
wandering why don't we just follow this rule?
Thanks,
Yi.

I can't tell what the dependency story is here, it looks like there's
none? If that's the case you shouldn't send things as a single series,
send separate patches to the various subsystems.
Please submit patches using subject lines reflecting the style for the
subsystem, this makes it easier for people to identify relevant patches.
Look at what existing commits in the area you're changing are doing and
make sure your subject lines visually resemble what they're doing.
There's no need to resubmit to fix this alone.

No, rstc == NULL is valid (for optional reset controls) and must not
throw a warning.

The cleanup alone looks fine, but I'm not sure if the maintainers would
be happy about the tree-wide spam, since each patch might go through a
different tree. I'd wait for Alex's preference/ack on that.

Hello H. Peter,
how do we proceed with this series? I got your Acked-by for all but the
last patch, which has all of your review feedback integrated in v9. Is
there a different tree I should rebase it on?

Ug, No!
That looks so much worse than the original.

Honestly, the IS_ERR_OR_NULL() looks worse in a lot of the locations you
updated. Just because we have IS_ERR_OR_NULL() doesn't mean we need to go
and replace every location that can use it.
NAK for any code this touches that I'm responsible for.

I'm going to gently suggest that you *not* try to do this as a
tree-wide change, since we don't need to change some interface
requiring a global, flag day change. This is instead a cleanup, which
maybe makes the code slightly better, but which also has a the
downside of breaking lots of inflight development patches by
potentially causing merge or patch conflicts.
So why don't you send it to each subsystem as a separate patch or
small patch series, instead of spamming a dozen-plus mailing lists,
are probably hundreds of developers, most of whom aren't going to
care about changs in some far flung part of the kernel?
