[PATCH 1/2 v2] fs/proc: show correct device and inode numbers in /proc/pid/maps

[Andrei Vagin]

/proc/pid/maps shows device and inode numbers of vma->vm_file-s. Here is
an issue. If a mapped file is on a stackable file system (e.g.,
overlayfs), vma->vm_file is a backing file whose f_inode is on the
underlying filesystem. To show correct numbers, we need to get a user
file and shows its numbers. The same trick is used to show file paths in
/proc/pid/maps.

v2: Amir explained that vfs_getattr isn't needed, because
file_user_inode(vma->vm_file).i_ino always matches an inode number
returned by statx.
