sysfs: convert BUG_ON to WARN_ON It's rude to crash the system just because the developer did something wrong, as it prevents them from usually even seeing what went wrong. So convert the few BUG_ON() calls that have snuck into the sysfs code over the years to WARN_ON() to make it more "friendly". All of these are able to be recovered from, so it makes no sense to crash. Reported-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by: Rafael J.

sysfs: drop kobj_ns_type handling, take #2 The way namespace tags are implemented in sysfs is more complicated than necessary. As each tag is a pointer value and required to be non-NULL under a namespace enabled parent, there's no need to record separately what type each tag is. If multiple namespace types are needed, which currently aren't, we can simply compare the tag to a set of allowed tags in the superblock assuming that the tags, being pointers, won't have the same value across multiple types. This patch rips out kobj_ns_type handling from sysfs. sysfs now has an enable switch to turn on namespace under a node. If enabled, all children are required to have non-NULL namespace tags and filtered against the super_block's tag. kobject namespace determination is now performed in lib/kobject.c::create_dir() making sysfs_read_ns_type() unnecessary. The sanity checks are also moved. create_dir() is restructured to ease such addition. This removes most kobject namespace knowledge from sysfs proper which will enable proper separation and layering of sysfs. This is the second try. The first one was cb26a311578e ("sysfs: drop kobj_ns_type handling") which tried to automatically enable namespace if there are children with non-NULL namespace tags; however, it was broken for symlinks as they should inherit the target's tag iff namespace is enabled in the parent. This led to namespace filtering enabled incorrectly for wireless net class devices through phy80211 symlinks and thus network configuration failure. a1212d278c05 ("Revert "sysfs: drop kobj_ns_type handling"") reverted the commit. This shouldn't introduce any behavior changes, for real. v2: Dummy implementation of sysfs_enable_ns() for !CONFIG_SYSFS was missing and caused build failure. Reported by kbuild test robot.

sysfs: rename sysfs_assoc_lock and explain what it's about 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: remove sysfs_addrm_cxt->parent_sd sysfs_addrm_start/finish() enclose sysfs_dirent additions and deletions and sysfs_addrm_cxt is used to record information necessary to finish the operations. Currently, sysfs_addrm_start() takes @parent_sd, records it in sysfs_addrm_cxt, and assumes that all operations in the block are performed under that @parent_sd. This assumption has been fine until now but we want to make some operations behave recursively and, while having @parent_sd recorded in sysfs_addrm_cxt doesn't necessarily prevents that, it becomes confusing. This patch removes sysfs_addrm_cxt->parent_sd and makes sysfs_add_one() take an explicit @parent_sd parameter. Note that sysfs_remove_one() doesn't need the extra argument as its parent is always known from the target @sd. While at it, add __acquires/releases() notations to sysfs_addrm_start/finish() respectively. This patch doesn't make any functional difference.

sysfs: clean up sysfs_get_dirent() The pre-existing sysfs interfaces which take explicit namespace argument are weird in that they place the optional @ns in front of @name which is contrary to the established convention. For example, we end up forcing vast majority of sysfs_get_dirent() users to do sysfs_get_dirent(parent, NULL, name), which is silly and error-prone especially as @ns and @name may be interchanged without causing compilation warning. This renames sysfs_get_dirent() to sysfs_get_dirent_ns() and swap the positions of @name and @ns, and sysfs_get_dirent() is now a wrapper around sysfs_get_dirent_ns(). This makes confusions a lot less likely. There are other interfaces which take @ns before @name. They'll be updated by following patches.

As each tag is a pointer value and required to be non-NULL under a namespace enabled parent, there's no need to record separately what type each tag is or where namespace is enabled. If multiple namespace types are needed, which currently aren't, we can simply compare the tag to a set of allowed tags in the superblock assuming that the tags, being pointers, won't have the same value across multiple types. Also, whether to filter by namespace tag or not can be trivially determined by whether the node has any tagged children or not. This patch rips out kobj_ns_type handling from sysfs. sysfs no longer cares whether specific type of namespace is enabled or not. If a sysfs_dirent has a non-NULL tag, the parent is marked as needing namespace filtering and the value is tested against the allowed set of tags for the superblock (currently only one but increasing this number isn't difficult) and the sysfs_dirent is ignored if it doesn't match. This removes most kobject namespace knowledge from sysfs proper which will enable proper separation and layering of sysfs. The namespace sanity checks in fs/sysfs/dir.c are replaced by the new sanity check in kobject_namespace(). As this is the only place ktype->namespace() is called for sysfs, this doesn't weaken the sanity check significantly. I omitted converting the sanity check in sysfs_do_create_link_sd(). While the check can be shifted to upper layer, mistakes there are well contained and should be easily visible anyway. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Eric W.

sysfs: remove ktype->namespace() invocations in symlink code There's no reason for sysfs to be calling ktype->namespace(). It is backwards, obfuscates what's going on and unnecessarily tangles two separate layers. There are two places where symlink code calls ktype->namespace(). * sysfs_do_create_link_sd() calls it to find out the namespace tag of the target directory. Unless symlinking races with cross-namespace renaming, this equals @target_sd->s_ns. * sysfs_rename_link() uses it to find out the new namespace to rename to and the new namespace can be different from the existing one. The function is renamed to sysfs_rename_link_ns() with an explicit @ns argument and the ktype->namespace() invocation is shifted to the device layer. While this patch replaces ktype->namespace() invocation with the recorded result in @target_sd, this shouldn't result in any behvior difference. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Eric W.

sysfs: Don't allow the creation of symlinks we can't remove Recently my tagged sysfs support revealed a flaw in the device core that a few rare drivers are running into such that we don't always put network devices in a class subdirectory named net/. Since we are not creating the class directory the network devices wind up in a non-tagged directory, but the symlinks to the network devices from /sys/class/net are in a tagged directory. All of which works until we go to remove or rename the symlink. When we remove or rename a symlink we look in the namespace of the target of the symlink. Since the target of the symlink is in a non-tagged sysfs directory we don't have a namespace to look in, and we fail to remove the symlink. Detect this problem up front and simply don't create symlinks we won't be able to remove later. This prevents symlink leakage and fails in a much clearer and more understandable way.

What this patch does is to add an additional tag field to the sysfs dirent structure. For directories that should show different contents depending on the context such as /sys/class/net/, and /sys/devices/virtual/net/ this tag field is used to specify the context in which those directories should be visible. Effectively this is the same as creating multiple distinct directories with the same name but internally to sysfs the result is nicer. I am calling the concept of a single directory that looks like multiple directories all at the same path in the filesystem tagged directories. For the networking namespace the set of directories whose contents I need to filter with tags can depend on the presence or absence of hotplug hardware or which modules are currently loaded. Which means I need a simple race free way to setup those directories as tagged. To achieve a reace free design all tagged directories are created and managed by sysfs itself. Users of this interface: - define a type in the sysfs_tag_type enumeration. - call sysfs_register_ns_types with the type and it's operations - sysfs_exit_ns when an individual tag is no longer valid - Implement mount_ns() which returns the ns of the calling process so we can attach it to a sysfs superblock. - Implement ktype.namespace() which returns the ns of a syfs kobject. Everything else is left up to sysfs and the driver layer. For the network namespace mount_ns and namespace() are essentially one line functions, and look to remain that. Tags are currently represented a const void * pointers as that is both generic, prevides enough information for equality comparisons, and is trivial to create for current users, as it is just the existing namespace pointer. The work needed in sysfs is more extensive. At each directory or symlink creating I need to check if the directory it is being created in is a tagged directory and if so generate the appropriate tag to place on the sysfs_dirent. Likewise at each symlink or directory removal I need to check if the sysfs directory it is being removed from is a tagged directory and if so figure out which tag goes along with the name I am deleting. Currently only directories which hold kobjects, and symlinks are supported. There is not enough information in the current file attribute interfaces to give us anything to discriminate on which makes it useless, and there are no potential users which makes it an uninteresting problem to solve.

sysfs: Implement sysfs_delete_link When removing a symlink sysfs_remove_link does not provide enough information to figure out which tagged directory the symlink falls in. So I need sysfs_delete_link which is passed the target of the symlink to delete. sysfs_rename_link is updated to call sysfs_delete_link instead of sysfs_remove_link as we have all of the information necessary and the callers are interesting. Both of these functions now have enough information to find a symlink in a tagged directory. The only restriction is that they must be called before the target kobject is renamed or deleted. If they are called later I loose track of which tag the target kobject was marked with and can no longer find the old symlink to remove it. This patch was split from an earlier patch.

bridge: update sysfs link names if port device names have changed Links for each port are created in sysfs using the device name, but this could be changed after being added to the bridge. As well as being unable to remove interfaces after this occurs (because userspace tools don't recognise the new name, and the kernel won't recognise the old name), adding another interface with the old name to the bridge will cause an error trying to create the sysfs link.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

sysfs: Add labeling support for sysfs This patch adds a setxattr handler to the file, directory, and symlink inode_operations structures for sysfs. The patch uses hooks introduced in the previous patch to handle the getting and setting of security information for the sysfs inodes. As was suggested by Eric Biederman the struct iattr in the sysfs_dirent structure has been replaced by a structure which contains the iattr, secdata and secdata length to allow the changes to persist in the event that the inode representing the sysfs_dirent is evicted. Because sysfs only stores this information when a change is made all the optional data is moved into one dynamically allocated field. This patch addresses an issue where SELinux was denying virtd access to the PCI configuration entries in sysfs. The lack of setxattr handlers for sysfs required that a single label be assigned to all entries in sysfs. Granting virtd access to every entry in sysfs is not an acceptable solution so fine grained labeling of sysfs is required such that individual entries can be labeled appropriately.

Performance optimization during removal just isn't worth it. Make sysfs_add/remove_one() call sysfs_link/unlink_sibing() implicitly. This makes code simpler albeit slightly less efficient.

sysfs: restructure add/remove paths and fix inode update The original add/remove code had the following problems. * parent's timestamps are updated on dentry instantiation. this is incorrect with reclaimable files. * updating parent's timestamps isn't synchronized. * parent nlink update assumes the inode is accessible which won't be true once directory dentries are made reclaimable. This patch restructures add/remove paths to resolve the above problems. Add/removal are done in the following steps. 1. sysfs_addrm_start() : acquire locks including sysfs_mutex and other resources. 2-a. sysfs_add_one() : add new sd. linking the new sd into the children list is caller's responsibility. 2-b. sysfs_remove_one() : remove a sd. unlinking the sd from the children list is caller's responsibility. 3. sysfs_addrm_finish() : release all resources and clean up. Steps 2-a and/or 2-b can be repeated multiple times. Parent's inode is looked up during sysfs_addrm_start(). If available (always at the moment), it's pinned and nlink is updated as sd's are added and removed. Timestamps are updated during finish if any sd has been added or removed. If parent's inode is not available during start, sysfs_mutex ensures that parent inode is not created till add/remove is complete. All the complexity is contained inside the helper functions. Especially, dentry/inode handling is properly hidden from the rest of sysfs which now mostly operate on sysfs_dirents. As an added bonus, codes which use these helpers to add and remove sysfs_dirents are now more structured and simpler.

sysfs: reimplement symlink using sysfs_dirent tree sysfs symlink is implemented by referencing dentry and kobject from sysfs_dirent - symlink entry references kobject, dentry is used to walk the tree. This complicates object lifetimes rules and is dangerous - for example, there is no way to tell to which module the target of a symlink belongs and referencing that kobject can make it linger after the module is gone. This patch reimplements symlink using only sysfs_dirent tree. sd for a symlink points and holds reference to the target sysfs_dirent and all walking is done using sysfs_dirent tree.

Driver core: fix race in sysfs between sysfs_remove_file() and read()/write() This patch prevents a race between IO and removing a file from sysfs. It introduces a list of sysfs_buffers associated with a file at the inode. Upon removal of a file the list is walked and the buffers marked orphaned. IO to orphaned buffers fails with -ENODEV. The driver can safely free associated data structures or be unloaded.

[PATCH] mutex subsystem, semaphore to mutex: VFS, ->i_sem This patch converts the inode semaphore to a mutex. I have tested it on XFS and compiled as much as one can consider on an ia64. Anyway your luck with it might be different. Modified-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> (finished the conversion) Signed-off-by: Jes Sorensen <jes@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Fix nasty ncpfs symlink handling bug. This bug could cause oopses and page state corruption, because ncpfs used the generic page-cache symlink handlign functions. But those functions only work if the page cache is guaranteed to be "stable", ie a page that was installed when the symlink walk was started has to still be installed in the page cache at the end of the walk. We could have fixed ncpfs to not use the generic helper routines, but it is in many ways much cleaner to instead improve on the symlink walking helper routines so that they don't require that absolute stability. We do this by allowing "follow_link()" to return a error-pointer as a cookie, which is fed back to the cleanup "put_link()" routine. This also simplifies NFS symlink handling.

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!
