Revert "sysfs: drop kobj_ns_type handling"

2013-11-07T11:47:28+00:00

This reverts commit cb26a311578e67769e92a39a0a63476533cb7e12.

It mysteriously causes NetworkManager to not find the wireless device
for me.  As far as I can tell, Tejun *meant* for this commit to not make
any semantic changes, but there clearly are some.  So revert it, taking
into account some of the calling convention changes that happened in
this area in subsequent commits.

sysfs: rename sysfs_assoc_lock and explain what it's about

2013-11-01T19:13:37+00:00

sysfs_assoc_lock is an odd piece of locking.  In general, whoever owns
a kobject is responsible for synchronizing sysfs operations and sysfs
proper assumes that, for example, removal won't race with any other
operation; however, this doesn't work for symlinking because an entity
performing symlink doesn't usually own the target kobject and thus has
no control over its removal.

sysfs_assoc_lock synchronizes symlink operations against kobj->sd
disassociation so that symlink code doesn't end up dereferencing
already freed sysfs_dirent by racing with removal of the target
kobject.

This is quite obscure and the generic name of the lock and lack of
comments make it difficult to understand its role.  Let's rename it to
sysfs_symlink_target_lock and add comments explaining what's going on.

sysfs: separate out dup filename warning into a separate function

2013-10-29T22:12:07+00:00

Separate out sysfs_warn_dup() out of sysfs_add_one().  This will help
separating out the core sysfs functionalities into kernfs so that it
can be used by non-sysfs users too.

This doesn't make any functional changes.

sysfs: move sysfs_hash_and_remove() to fs/sysfs/dir.c

2013-10-29T22:12:07+00:00

Most removal related logic is implemented in fs/sysfs/dir.c.  Move
sysfs_hash_and_remove() to fs/sysfs/dir.c so that __sysfs_remove()
doesn't have to be public.

This is pure relocation.

sysfs: make sysfs_file_ops() follow ignore_lockdep flag

2013-10-14T15:40:39+00:00

375b611e60 ("sysfs: remove sysfs_buffer->ops") introduced
sysfs_file_ops() which determines the associated file operation of a
given sysfs_dirent.  As file ops access should be protected by an
active reference, the new function includes a lockdep assertion on the
sysfs_dirent; unfortunately, I forgot to take attr->ignore_lockdep
flag into account and the lockdep assertion trips spuriously for files
which opt out from active reference lockdep checking.

sysfs: merge regular and bin file handling

2013-10-06T00:27:40+00:00

With the previous changes, sysfs regular file code is ready to handle
bin files too.  This patch makes bin files share the regular file
path.

* sysfs_create/remove_bin_file() are moved to fs/sysfs/file.c.

* sysfs_init_inode() is updated to use the new sysfs_bin_operations
  instead of bin_fops for bin files.

* fs/sysfs/bin.c and the related pieces are removed.

This patch shouldn't introduce any behavior difference to bin file
accesses.

Overall, this unification reduces the amount of duplicate logic, makes
behaviors more consistent and paves the road for building simpler and
more versatile interface which will allow other subsystems to make use
of sysfs for their pseudo filesystems.

v2: Stale fs/sysfs/bin.c reference dropped from
    Documentation/DocBook/filesystems.tmpl.  Reported by kbuild test
    robot.

sysfs: copy bin mmap support from fs/sysfs/bin.c to fs/sysfs/file.c

2013-10-06T00:27:40+00:00

sysfs bin file handling will be merged into the regular file support.
This patch copies mmap support from bin so that fs/sysfs/file.c can
handle mmapping bin files.

The code is copied mostly verbatim with the following updates.

* ->mmapped and ->vm_ops are added to sysfs_open_file and bin_buffer
  references are replaced with sysfs_open_file ones.

* Symbols are prefixed with sysfs_.

* sysfs_unmap_bin_file() grabs sysfs_open_dirent and traverses
  ->files.  Invocation of this function is added to
  sysfs_addrm_finish().

* sysfs_bin_mmap() is added to sysfs_bin_operations.

This is a preparation and the new mmap path isn't used yet.

sysfs: introduce [__]sysfs_remove()

2013-10-03T23:38:52+00:00

Given a sysfs_dirent, there is no reason to have multiple versions of
removal functions.  A function which removes the specified
sysfs_dirent and its descendants is enough.

This patch intorduces [__}sysfs_remove() which replaces all internal
variations of removal functions.  This will be the only removal
function in the planned new sysfs_dirent based interface.

sysfs: make __sysfs_remove_dir() recursive

2013-10-03T23:38:52+00:00

Currently, sysfs directory removal is inconsistent in that it would
remove any files directly under it but wouldn't recurse into
directories.  Thanks to group subdirectories, this doesn't even match
with kobject boundaries.  sysfs is in the process of being separated
out so that it can be used by multiple subsystems and we want to have
a consistent behavior - either removal of a sysfs_dirent should remove
every descendant entries or none instead of something inbetween.

This patch implements proper recursive removal in
__sysfs_remove_dir().  The function now walks its subtree in a
post-order walk to remove all descendants.

This is a behavior change but kobject / driver layer, which currently
is the only consumer, has already been updated to handle duplicate
removal attempts, so nothing should be broken after this change.

kobject: grab an extra reference on kobject->sd to allow duplicate deletes

2013-10-03T23:38:52+00:00

sysfs currently has a rather weird behavior regarding removals.  A
directory removal would delete all files directly under it but
wouldn't recurse into subdirectories, which, while a bit inconsistent,
seems to make sense at the first glance as each directory is
supposedly associated with a kobject and each kobject can take care of
the directory deletion; however, this doesn't really hold as we have
groups which can be directories without a kobject associated with it
and require explicit deletions.

We're in the process of separating out sysfs from kboject / driver
core and want a consistent behavior.  A removal should delete either
only the specified node or everything under it.  I think it is helpful
to support recursive atomic removal and later patches will implement
it.

Such change means that a sysfs_dirent associated with kobject may be
deleted before the kobject itself is removed if one of its ancestor
gets removed before it.  As sysfs_remove_dir() puts the base ref, we
may end up with dangling pointer on descendants.  This can be solved
by holding an extra reference on the sd from kobject.

Acquire an extra reference on the associated sysfs_dirent on directory
creation and put it after removal.
