Masatake YAMATO b5beb1caff check ADVICE of fadvise64_64 even if get_xip_page is given
I've written some test programs in ltp project.  During writing I met an
problem which I cannot solve in user land.  So I wrote a patch for linux
kernel.  Please, include this patch if acceptable.

The test program tests the 4th parameter of fadvise64_64:

    long sys_fadvise64_64(int fd, loff_t offset, loff_t len, int advice);

My test case calls fadvise64_64 with invalid advice value and checks errno is
set to EINVAL.  About the advice parameter man page says:

    ...
    Permissible values for advice include:

	   POSIX_FADV_NORMAL
                  ...
	   POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL
                  ...
	   POSIX_FADV_RANDOM
		  ...
	   POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE
                  ...
	   POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED
                  ...
	   POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED
		  ...
    ERRORS
           ...
	   EINVAL An invalid value was specified for advice.

However, I got a bug report that the system call invocations
in my test case returned 0 unexpectedly.

I've inspected the kernel code:

    asmlinkage long sys_fadvise64_64(int fd, loff_t offset, loff_t len, int advice)
    {
	    struct file *file = fget(fd);
	    struct address_space *mapping;
	    struct backing_dev_info *bdi;
	    loff_t endbyte;			/* inclusive */
	    pgoff_t start_index;
	    pgoff_t end_index;
	    unsigned long nrpages;
	    int ret = 0;

	    if (!file)
		    return -EBADF;

	    if (S_ISFIFO(file->f_path.dentry->d_inode->i_mode)) {
		    ret = -ESPIPE;
		    goto out;
	    }

	    mapping = file->f_mapping;
	    if (!mapping || len < 0) {
		    ret = -EINVAL;
		    goto out;
	    }

	    if (mapping->a_ops->get_xip_page)
		    /* no bad return value, but ignore advice */
		    goto out;
    ...
    out:
	    fput(file);
	    return ret;
    }

I found the advice parameter is just ignored in the case
mapping->a_ops->get_xip_page is given. This behavior is different from
what is written on the man page. Is this o.k.?

get_xip_page is given if CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XIP is true.
Anyway I cannot find the easy way to detect get_xip_page
field is given or CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XIP is true from the
user space.

I propose the following patch which checks the advice parameter
even if get_xip_page is given.
