Pull the beginning of seq_file cleanup from Steven:
"I'm looking to clean up the seq_file code and to eventually merge the
trace_seq code with seq_file as well, since they basically do the same thing.
Part of this process is to remove the return code of seq_printf() and friends
as they are rather inconsistent. It is better to use the new function
seq_has_overflowed() if you want to stop processing when the buffer
is full. Note, if the buffer is full, the seq_file code will throw away
the contents, allocate a bigger buffer, and then call your code again
to fill in the data. The only thing that breaking out of the function
early does is to save a little time which is probably never noticed.
I started with patches from Joe Perches and modified them as well.
There's many more places that need to be updated before we can convert
seq_printf() and friends to return void. But this patch set introduces
the seq_has_overflowed() and does some initial updates."
This patch fixes kmemcheck warning in switch_names. The function
switch_names swaps inline names of two dentries. It swaps full arrays
d_iname, no matter how many bytes are really used by the strings. Reading
data beyond string ends results in kmemcheck warning.
We fix the bug by marking both arrays as fully initialized.

In ->atomic_open(inode, dentry, file, opened) calling finish_no_open(file, NULL)
is equivalent to dget(dentry); return finish_no_open(file, dentry);
No need to open-code that...

dentry is always hashed and negative, inode - non-error, non-NULL and
non-directory. In such conditions d_splice_alias() is equivalent to
"d_instantiate(dentry, inode) and return NULL", which simplifies the
downstream code and is consistent with the "have to create a new object"
case.

The seq_printf() will soon just return void, and seq_has_overflowed()
should be used instead to see if the seq can no longer accept input.
As the return value of debugfs_print_regs32() has no users and
the seq_file descriptor should be checked with seq_has_overflowed()
instead of return values of functions, it is better to just have
debugfs_print_regs32() also return void.

seq_printf functions shouldn't really check the return value.
Checking seq_has_overflowed() occasionally is used instead.
Update vfs documentation.

checks from seq_printf() in favor of seq_has_overflowed().

Since adding a new function to seq_file (seq_has_overflowed())
there isn't any value for functions called from seq_show to
return anything. Remove the int returns of the various
print_tuple/<foo>_print_tuple functions.

The seq_printf() and friends are having their return values removed.
The print_conntrack() returns the result of seq_printf(), which is
meaningless when seq_printf() returns void. Might as well remove the
return values of print_conntrack() as well.

... because fake struct file is wrong.
ll_prep_inode() in there is an atrocity - despite passing a pointer to
inode by address, it actually only uses the value when that value is
non-NULL, as it will be here.
Oh, and ->d_parent of anything is never NULL.
