class: fix use-after-free in class_register() The lock_class_key is still registered and can be found in lock_keys_hash hlist after subsys_private is freed in error handler path.A task who iterate over the lock_keys_hash later may cause use-after-free.So fix that up and unregister the lock_class_key before kfree(cp). On our platform, a driver fails to kset_register because of creating duplicate filename '/class/xxx'.With Kasan enabled, it prints a invalid-access bug report.

driver core: create class_is_registered() Some classes (i.e. gpio), want to know if they have been registered or not, and poke around in the class's internal structures to try to figure this out. Because this is not really a good idea, provide a function for classes to call to try to figure this out. Note, this is racy as the state of the class could change at any moment in time after the call is made, but as usually a class only wants to know if it has been registered yet or not, it should be fairly safe to use, and is just as safe as the previous "poke at the class internals" check was. Move the gpiolib code to use this function as proof that it works properly.

driver core: class: implement class_get/put without the private pointer. Much like what was done in commit 273afac615ad ("driver core: bus: implement bus_get/put() without the private pointer"), it is time to move the driver core away from using the internal private pointer in struct class in order to enable it to be always a constant and be placed in read-only memory in the future. First step in doing this is to create a helper function that turns a 'struct class' into 'struct subsys_private' called class_to_subsys(). class_to_subsys() walks the list of registered busses in the system and finds the matching one based on the pointer to the class itself. As this is a short list, and this function is not on any fast path, it should not be noticable. Implement class_get() and class_put() using this new helper function. Cc: "Rafael J.

driver core: remove CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED and CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED was added in commit 88a22c985e35 ("CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED") in 2006 to allow systems with older versions of some tools (i.e. Fedora 3's version of udev) to boot properly. Four years later, in 2010, the option was attempted to be removed as most of userspace should have been fixed up properly by then, but some kernel developers clung to those old systems and refused to update, so we added CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 in commit e52eec13cd6b ("SYSFS: Allow boot time switching between deprecated and modern sysfs layout") to allow them to continue to boot properly, and we allowed a boot time parameter to be used to switch back to the old format if needed. Over time, the logic that was covered under these config options was slowly removed from individual driver subsystems successfully, removed, and the only thing that is now left in the kernel are some changes in the block layer's representation in sysfs where real directories are used instead of symlinks like normal. Because the original changes were done to userspace tools in 2006, and all distros that use those tools are long end-of-life, and older non-udev-based systems do not care about the block layer's sysfs representation, it is time to finally remove this old logic and the config entries from the kernel.

kobject: make kobject_get_ownership() take a constant kobject * The call, kobject_get_ownership(), does not modify the kobject passed into it, so make it const. This propagates down into the kobj_type function callbacks so make the kobject passed into them also const, ensuring that nothing in the kobject is being changed here. This helps make it more obvious what calls and callbacks do, and do not, modify structures passed to them.

class: fix possible memory leak in __class_register() If class_add_groups() returns error, the 'cp->subsys' need be unregister, and the 'cp' need be freed. We can not call kset_unregister() here, because the 'cls' will be freed in callback function class_release() and it's also freed in caller's error path, it will cause double free. So fix this by calling kobject_del() and kfree_const(name) to cleanup kobject. Besides, call kfree() to free the 'cp'.

sysfs: make attr namespace interface less convoluted sysfs ns (namespace) implementation became more convoluted than necessary while trying to hide ns information from visible interface. The relatively recent attr ns support is a good example. * attr ns tag is determined by sysfs_ops->namespace() callback while dir tag is determined by kobj_type->namespace(). The placement is arbitrary. * Instead of performing operations with explicit ns tag, the namespace callback is routed through sysfs_attr_ns(), sysfs_ops->namespace(), class_attr_namespace(), class_attr->namespace(). It's not simpler in any sense. The only thing this convolution does is traversing the whole stack backwards. The namespace callbacks are unncessary because the operations involved are inherently synchronous. The information can be provided in in straight-forward top-down direction and reversing that direction is unnecessary and against basic design principles. This backward interface is unnecessarily convoluted and hinders properly separating out sysfs from driver model / kobject for proper layering. This patch updates attr ns support such that * sysfs_ops->namespace() and class_attr->namespace() are dropped. * sysfs_{create|remove}_file_ns(), which take explicit @ns param, are added and sysfs_{create|remove}_file() are now simple wrappers around the ns aware functions. * ns handling is dropped from sysfs_chmod_file(). Nobody uses it at this point. sysfs_chmod_file_ns() can be added later if necessary. * Explicit @ns is propagated through class_{create|remove}_file_ns() and netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns(). * driver/net/bonding which is currently the only user of attr namespace is updated to use netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns() with @bh->net as the ns tag instead of using the namespace callback. This patch should be an equivalent conversion without any functional difference. It makes the code easier to follow, reduces lines of code a bit and helps proper separation and layering.

driver-core: implement 'sysdev' functionality for regular devices and buses All sysdev classes and sysdev devices will converted to regular devices and buses to properly hook userspace into the event processing. There is no interesting difference between a 'sysdev' and 'device' which would justify to roll an entire own subsystem with different userspace export semantics. Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure from sysdev devices, which are currently not properly available. Every converted sysdev class will create a regular device with the class name in /sys/devices/system and all registered devices will becom a children of theses devices. For compatibility reasons, the sysdev class-wide attributes are created at this parent device. (Do not copy that logic for anything new, subsystem- wide properties belong to the subsystem, not to some fake parent device created in /sys/devices.) Every sysdev driver is implemented as a simple subsystem interface now, and no longer called a driver. After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.

SYSFS: Allow boot time switching between deprecated and modern sysfs layout I have some systems which need legacy sysfs due to old tools that are making assumptions that a directory can never be a symlink to another directory, and it's a big hazzle to compile separate kernels for them. This patch turns CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED into a run time option that can be switched on/off the kernel command line. This way the same binary can be used in both cases with just a option on the command line. The old CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 option is still there to set the default. I kept the weird name to not break existing config files. Also the compat code can be still completely disabled by undefining CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_SWITCH -- just the optimizer takes care of this now instead of lots of ifdefs. This makes the code look nicer. v2: This is an updated version on top of Kay's patch to only handle the block devices. I tested it on my old systems and that seems to work.

Driver core: Add support for compatibility classes When turning class devices into bus devices, we may need to temporarily add links in sysfs so that user-space applications are not confused. This is done by adding the following API: * Functions to register and unregister compatibility classes. These appear in sysfs at the same location as regular classes, but instead of class devices, they contain links to bus devices. * Functions to create and delete such links. Additionally, the caller can optionally pass a target device to which a "device" link should point (typically that would be the device's parent), to fully emulate the original class device. The i2c subsystem will be the first user of this API, as i2c adapters are being converted from class devices to bus devices.

driver-core: use klist for class device list and implement iterator Iterating over entries using callback usually isn't too fun especially when the entry being iterated over can't be manipulated freely. This patch converts class->p->class_devices to klist and implements class device iterator so that the users can freely build their own control structure. The users are also free to call back into class code without worrying about locking. class_for_each_device() and class_find_device() are converted to use the new iterators, so their users don't have to worry about locking anymore either. Note: This depends on klist-dont-iterate-over-deleted-entries patch because class_intf->add/remove_dev() depends on proper synchronization with device removal.

sysfs: add /sys/dev/{char,block} to lookup sysfs path by major:minor Why?: There are occasions where userspace would like to access sysfs attributes for a device but it may not know how sysfs has named the device or the path. For example what is the sysfs path for /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3160827AS_5MT004CK? With this change a call to stat(2) returns the major:minor then userspace can see that /sys/dev/block/8:32 links to /sys/block/sdc. What are the alternatives?: 1/ Add an ioctl to return the path: Doable, but sysfs is meant to reduce the need to proliferate ioctl interfaces into the kernel, so this seems counter productive. 2/ Use udev to create these symlinks: Also doable, but it adds a udev dependency to utilities that might be running in a limited environment like an initramfs. 3/ Do a full-tree search of sysfs.

sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper, so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to accessing removed modules. This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the backing module from being unloaded.

[PATCH] Driver core: add generic "subsystem" link to all devices Like the SUBSYTEM= key we find in the environment of the uevent, this creates a generic "subsystem" link in sysfs for every device. Userspace usually doesn't care at all if its a "class" or a "bus" device. This provides an unified way to determine the subsytem of a device, regardless of the way the driver core has created it.

[CLASS DEVICE]: add attribute_group creation Extend the support of attribute groups in class_device's to allow groups to be created as part of the registration process. This allows network device's to avoid race between registration and creating groups. Note that unlike attributes that are a property of the class object, the groups are a property of the class_device object. This is done because there are different types of network devices (wireless for example).

[PATCH] fix missing includes I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.

[PATCH] Driver Core: add the ability for class_device structures to be nested This patch allows struct class_device to be nested, so that another struct class_device can be the parent of a new one, instead of only having the struct class be the parent. This will allow us to (hopefully) fix up the input and video class subsystem mess. But please people, don't go crazy and start making huge trees of class devices, you should only need 2 levels deep to get everything to work (remember to use a class_interface to get notification of a new class device being added to the system.) Oh, this also allows us to have the possibility of potentially, someday, moving /sys/block into /sys/class. The main hindrance is that pesky /dev numberspace issue...

[PATCH] fix class symlinks in sysfs The class symlinks in sysfs don't properly handle changing device names. To demonstrate, rename your network device from eth0 to eth1. Your pci (or usb, or whatever) device will still have a 'net:eth0' link, except now it points to /sys/class/net/eth1. The attached patch makes sure the class symlink name changes when the class device name changes. It isn't 100% correct, it should be using sysfs_rename_link. Unfortunately, sysfs_rename_link doesn't exist.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
