sysfs: Add support for permanently empty directories to serve as mount points.

2015-07-01T15:36:45+00:00

Add two functions sysfs_create_mount_point and
sysfs_remove_mount_point that hang a permanently empty directory off
of a kobject or remove a permanently emptpy directory hanging from a
kobject.  Export these new functions so modular filesystems can use
them.

kernfs: implement kernfs_get_parent(), kernfs_name/path() and friends

2014-02-08T00:05:35+00:00

kernfs_node->parent and ->name are currently marked as "published"
indicating that kernfs users may access them directly; however, those
fields may get updated by kernfs_rename[_ns]() and unrestricted access
may lead to erroneous values or oops.

Protect ->parent and ->name updates with a irq-safe spinlock
kernfs_rename_lock and implement the following accessors for these
fields.

* kernfs_name()		- format the node's name into the specified buffer
* kernfs_path()		- format the node's path into the specified buffer
* pr_cont_kernfs_name()	- pr_cont a node's name (doesn't need buffer)
* pr_cont_kernfs_path()	- pr_cont a node's path (doesn't need buffer)
* kernfs_get_parent()	- pin and return a node's parent

All can be called under any context.  The recursive sysfs_pathname()
in fs/sysfs/dir.c is replaced with kernfs_path() and
sysfs_rename_dir_ns() is updated to use kernfs_get_parent() instead of
dereferencing parent directly.

v2: Dummy definition of kernfs_path() for !CONFIG_KERNFS was missing
    static inline making it cause a lot of build warnings.  Add it.

kernfs: add @mode to kernfs_create_dir[_ns]()

2013-12-17T16:59:15+00:00

sysfs assumed 0755 for all newly created directories and kernfs
inherited it.  This assumption is unnecessarily restrictive and
inconsistent with kernfs_create_file[_ns]().  This patch adds @mode
parameter to kernfs_create_dir[_ns]() and update uses in sysfs
accordingly.  Among others, this will be useful for implementations of
the planned ->mkdir() method.

This patch doesn't introduce any behavior differences.

kernfs: s/sysfs/kernfs/ in constants

2013-12-12T01:39:20+00:00

kernfs has just been separated out from sysfs and we're already in
full conflict mode.  Nothing can make the situation any worse.  Let's
take the chance to name things properly.

This patch performs the following renames.

* s/SYSFS_DIR/KERNFS_DIR/
* s/SYSFS_KOBJ_ATTR/KERNFS_FILE/
* s/SYSFS_KOBJ_LINK/KERNFS_LINK/
* s/SYSFS_{TYPE_FLAGS}/KERNFS_{TYPE_FLAGS}/
* s/SYSFS_FLAG_{FLAG}/KERNFS_{FLAG}/
* s/sysfs_type()/kernfs_type()/
* s/SD_DEACTIVATED_BIAS/KN_DEACTIVATED_BIAS/

This patch is strictly rename only and doesn't introduce any
functional difference.

kernfs: drop s_ prefix from kernfs_node members

2013-12-11T23:43:48+00:00

kernfs has just been separated out from sysfs and we're already in
full conflict mode.  Nothing can make the situation any worse.  Let's
take the chance to name things properly.

s_ prefix for kernfs members is used inconsistently and a misnomer
now.  It's not like kernfs_node is used widely across the kernel
making the ability to grep for the members particularly useful.  Let's
just drop the prefix.

kernfs: s/sysfs_dirent/kernfs_node/ and rename its friends accordingly

2013-12-11T23:28:36+00:00

kernfs has just been separated out from sysfs and we're already in
full conflict mode.  Nothing can make the situation any worse.  Let's
take the chance to name things properly.

This patch performs the following renames.

* s/sysfs_elem_dir/kernfs_elem_dir/
* s/sysfs_elem_symlink/kernfs_elem_symlink/
* s/sysfs_elem_attr/kernfs_elem_file/
* s/sysfs_dirent/kernfs_node/
* s/sd/kn/ in kernfs proper
* s/parent_sd/parent/
* s/target_sd/target/
* s/dir_sd/parent/
* s/to_sysfs_dirent()/rb_to_kn()/
* misc renames of local vars when they conflict with the above

Because md, mic and gpio dig into sysfs details, this patch ends up
modifying them.  All are sysfs_dirent renames and trivial.  While we
can avoid these by introducing a dummy wrapping struct sysfs_dirent
around kernfs_node, given the limited usage outside kernfs and sysfs
proper, I don't think such workaround is called for.

This patch is strictly rename only and doesn't introduce any
functional difference.

- mic / gpio renames were missing.  Spotted by kbuild test robot.

sysfs, kernfs: introduce sysfs_root_sd

2013-11-30T02:09:27+00:00

Currently, it's assumed that there's a single kernfs hierarchy in the
system anchored at sysfs_root which is defined as a global struct.  To
allow other users of kernfs, this will be made dynamic.  Introduce a
new global variable sysfs_root_sd which points to &sysfs_root and
convert all &sysfs_root users.

This patch doesn't introduce any behavior difference.

sysfs, kernfs: move dir core code to fs/kernfs/dir.c

2013-11-30T02:08:39+00:00

Move core dir code to fs/kernfs/dir.c.  fs/sysfs/dir.c now only
contains sysfs_warn_dup() and sysfs wrappers around kernfs interfaces.
The respective declarations in fs/sysfs/sysfs.h are moved to
fs/kernfs/kernfs-internal.h.

This is pure relocation.

v2: sysfs_symlink_target_lock was mistakenly relocated to kernfs.  It
    should remain with sysfs.  Fixed.

sysfs, kernfs: introduce kernfs[_find_and]_get() and kernfs_put()

2013-11-30T01:55:10+00:00

Introduce kernfs interface for finding, getting and putting
sysfs_dirents.

* sysfs_find_dirent() is renamed to kernfs_find_ns() and lockdep
  assertion for sysfs_mutex is added.

* sysfs_get_dirent_ns() is renamed to kernfs_find_and_get().

* Macro inline dancing around __sysfs_get/put() are removed and
  kernfs_get/put() are made proper functions implemented in
  fs/sysfs/dir.c.

While the conversions are mostly equivalent, there's one difference -
kernfs_get() doesn't return the input param as its return value.  This
change is intentional.  While passing through the input increases
writability in some areas, it is unnecessary and has been shown to
cause confusion regarding how the last ref is handled.

sysfs, kernfs: revamp sysfs_dirent active_ref lockdep annotation

2013-11-30T01:48:15+00:00

Currently, sysfs_dirent active_ref lockdep annotation uses
attribute->[s]key as the lockdep key, which forces
kernfs_create_file_ns() to assume that sysfs_dirent->priv is pointing
to a struct attribute which may not be true for non-sysfs users.  This
patch restructures the lockdep annotation such that

* kernfs_ops contains lockdep_key which is used by default for files
  created kernfs_create_file_ns().

* kernfs_create_file_ns_key() is introduced which takes an extra @key
  argument.  The created file will use the specified key for
  active_ref lockdep annotation.  If NULL is specified, lockdep for
  the file is disabled.

* sysfs_add_file_mode_ns() is updated to use
  kernfs_create_file_ns_key() with the appropriate key from the
  attribute or NULL if ignore_lockdep is set.

This makes the lockdep annotation properly contained in kernfs while
allowing sysfs to cleanly keep its current behavior.  This patch
doesn't introduce any behavior differences.
