[PATCH 0/2] procfs: /proc/pid/comm fixes

[Michał Mirosław]

These two patches are preparation for extending TASK_COMM_LEN above
current 16-byte limit.

  procfs: signal /proc/pid/comm write truncation
  procfs: let userspace find out max /proc/pid/comm length

[PATCH 1/2] procfs: signal /proc/pid/comm write truncation

[Michał Mirosław]

Keeps truncation working, but also signals to writing process
when that happens.

Fixes: 830e0fc967a7 ("fs, proc: truncate /proc/pid/comm writes to first TASK_COMM_LEN bytes")

[PATCH 2/2] procfs: let userspace find out max /proc/pid/comm length

[Michał Mirosław]

Abuse llseek(SEEK_END) to return max /proc/pid/comm length.

This is needed for pthread_getname_np to be able to return ERANGE
without modifying thread's name.
