linux.git/fs/configfs, branch v4.5

wrappers for ->i_mutex access

2016-01-22T23:04:28+00:00

parallel to mutex_{lock,unlock,trylock,is_locked,lock_nested},
inode_foo(inode) being mutex_foo(&inode->i_mutex).

Please, use those for access to ->i_mutex; over the coming cycle
->i_mutex will become rwsem, with ->lookup() done with it held
only shared.

Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "The highlights this round include:

   - Introduce configfs support for unlocked configfs_depend_item()
     (krzysztof + andrezej)
   - Conversion of usb-gadget target driver to new function registration
     interface (andrzej + sebastian)
   - Enable qla2xxx FC target mode support for Extended Logins (himansu +
     giridhar)
   - Enable qla2xxx FC target mode support for Exchange Offload (himansu +
     giridhar)
   - Add qla2xxx FC target mode irq affinity notification + selective
     command queuing.  (quinn + himanshu)
   - Fix iscsi-target deadlock in se_node_acl configfs deletion (sagi +
     nab)
   - Convert se_node_acl configfs deletion + se_node_acl->queue_depth to
     proper se_session->sess_kref + target_get_session() usage.  (hch +
     sagi + nab)
   - Fix long-standing race between se_node_acl->acl_kref get and
     get_initiator_node_acl() lookup.  (hch + nab)
   - Fix target/user block-size handling, and make sure netlink reaches
     all network namespaces (sheng + andy)

  Note there is an outstanding bug-fix series for remote I_T nexus port
  TMR LUN_RESET has been posted and still being tested, and will likely
  become post -rc1 material at this point"

Pull configfs updates from Christoph Hellwig:
 "I'm assisting Joel as co-maintainer and patch monkey now, and you will
  see pull reuquests from me for a while.

  Besides the MAINTAINERS update there is just a single change, which
  adds support for binary attributes to configfs, which are very similar
  to the sysfs binary attributes.  Thanks to Pantelis Antoniou!

  You will see another actually bigger set of configfs changes in the
  SCSI target pull from Nic - those were merged before this new tree
  even existed"

configfs: implement binary attributes

2016-01-04T11:31:46+00:00

ConfigFS lacked binary attributes up until now. This patch
introduces support for binary attributes in a somewhat similar
manner of sysfs binary attributes albeit with changes that
fit the configfs usage model.

Problems that configfs binary attributes fix are everything that
requires a binary blob as part of the configuration of a resource,
such as bitstream loading for FPGAs, DTBs for dynamically created
devices etc.

Look at Documentation/filesystems/configfs/configfs.txt for internals
and howto use them.

This patch is against linux-next as of today that contains
Christoph's configfs rework.

fs: configfs: Add unlocked version of configfs_depend_item()

2015-12-21T02:04:03+00:00

This change is necessary for the SCSI target usb gadget composed with
configfs. In this case configfs will be used for two different purposes:
to compose a usb gadget and to configure the target part. If an instance
of tcm function is created in $CONFIGFS_ROOT/usb_gadget//functions
a tpg can be created in $CONFIGFS_ROOT/target/usb_gadget//, but after
a tpg is created the tcm function must not be removed until its
corresponding tpg is gone. While the configfs_depend/undepend_item() are
meant exactly for creating this kind of dependencies, they are not suitable
if the other kernel subsystem happens to be another subsystem in configfs,
so this patch adds unlocked versions meant for configfs callbacks.

Above description has been provided by:
Andrzej Pietrasiewicz 

In configfs_depend_item() we have to consider two possible cases:

1) When we are called to depend another item in the same subsystem
   as caller
	In this case we should skip locking configfs root as we know
	that configfs is in valid state and our subsystem will not
	be unregistered during this call.

2) When we are called to depend item in different subsystem than
   our caller
	In this case we are also sure that configfs is in valid state
	but we have to lock root of configfs to avoid unregistration
	of target's subsystem. As it is other than caller's subsystem,
	there may be nothing what protects us against unregistration
	of that subsystem.

fs: configfs: Factor out configfs_find_subsys_dentry()

2015-12-21T02:04:01+00:00

configfs_depend_item() is quite complicated and should
be split up into smaller functions. This also allow to
share this code with other functions.

2015-12-21T02:03:57+00:00

subsys parameter is never used by configfs_undepend_item()
so there is no point in passing it to this function.
