configfs: provide exclusion between IO and removals

2019-09-04T20:33:51+00:00

Make sure that attribute methods are not called after the item
has been removed from the tree.  To do so, we
	* at the point of no return in removals, grab ->frag_sem
exclusive and mark the fragment dead.
	* call the methods of attributes with ->frag_sem taken
shared and only after having verified that the fragment is still
alive.

	The main benefit is for method instances - they are
guaranteed that the objects they are accessing *and* all ancestors
are still there.  Another win is that we don't need to bother
with extra refcount on config_item when opening a file -
the item will be alive for as long as it stays in the tree, and
we won't touch it/attributes/any associated data after it's
been removed from the tree.

configfs: new object reprsenting tree fragments

2019-09-02T20:10:44+00:00

Refcounted, hangs of configfs_dirent, created by operations that add
fragments to configfs tree (mkdir and configfs_register_{subsystem,group}).
Will be used in the next commit to provide exclusion between fragment
removal and ->show/->store calls.

configfs_register_group() shouldn't be (and isn't) called in rmdirable parts

2019-09-02T20:10:44+00:00

revert cc57c07343bd "configfs: fix registered group removal"
It was an attempt to handle something that fundamentally doesn't
work - configfs_register_group() should never be done in a part
of tree that can be rmdir'ed.  And in mainline it never had been,
so let's not borrow trouble; the fix was racy anyway, it would take
a lot more to make that work and desired semantics is not clear.

vfs: Convert configfs to use the new mount API

2019-07-05T02:01:58+00:00

Convert the configfs filesystem to the new internal mount API as the old
one will be obsoleted and removed.  This allows greater flexibility in
communication of mount parameters between userspace, the VFS and the
filesystem.

See Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt for more information.

configfs: call fsnotify_rmdir() hook

2019-06-20T12:47:21+00:00

This will allow generating fsnotify delete events on unregister
of group/subsystem after the fsnotify_nameremove() hook is removed
from d_delete().

The rest of the d_delete() calls from this filesystem are either
called recursively from within debugfs_unregister_{group,subsystem},
called from a vfs function that already has delete hooks or are
called from shutdown/cleanup code.

Pull yet more SPDX updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is another set of reviewed patches that adds SPDX tags to
  different kernel files, based on a set of rules that are being used to
  parse the comments to try to determine that the license of the file is
  "GPL-2.0-or-later" or "GPL-2.0-only". Only the "obvious" versions of
  these matches are included here, a number of "non-obvious" variants of
  text have been found but those have been postponed for later review
  and analysis.

  There is also a patch in here to add the proper SPDX header to a bunch
  of Kbuild files that we have missed in the past due to new files being
  added and forgetting that Kbuild uses two different file names for
  Makefiles. This issue was reported by the Kbuild maintainer.

  These patches have been out for review on the linux-spdx@vger mailing
  list, and while they were created by automatic tools, they were
  hand-verified by a bunch of different people, all whom names are on
  the patches are reviewers"
