| * | sysfs: add sysfs_open_file_mutexTejun Heo2013-10-051-6/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a separate mutex to protect sysfs_open_dirent->buffers list. This will allow performing sleepable operations while traversing sysfs_buffers, which will be renamed to sysfs_open_file. Note that currently sysfs_open_dirent->buffers list isn't being used for anything and this patch doesn't make any functional difference. It will be used to merge regular and bin file supports.

| * | sysfs: remove sysfs_buffer->opsTejun Heo2013-10-051-12/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, sysfs_ops is fetched during sysfs_open_file() and cached in sysfs_buffer->ops to be used while the file is open. This patch removes the caching and makes each operation directly fetch sysfs_ops. This patch doesn't introduce any behavior difference and is to prepare for merging regular and bin file supports.

| * | sysfs: remove sysfs_buffer->needs_read_fillTejun Heo2013-10-051-12/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ->needs_read_fill is used to implement the following behaviors. 1. Ensure buffer filling on the first read. 2. Force buffer filling after a write. 3. Force buffer filling after a successful poll. However, #2 and #3 don't really work as sysfs doesn't reset file position. While the read buffer would be refilled, the next read would continue from the position after the last read or write, requiring an explicit seek to the start for it to be useful, which makes ->needs_read_fill superflous as read buffer is always refilled if f_pos == 0. Update sysfs_read_file() to test buffer->page for #1 instead and remove ->needs_read_fill. While this changes behavior in extreme corner cases - e.g. re-reading a sysfs file after seeking to non-zero position after a write or poll, it's highly unlikely to lead to actual breakage. This change is to prepare for using seq_file in the read path. While at it, reformat a comment in fill_write_buffer().

| * | sysfs: introduce [__]sysfs_remove()Tejun Heo2013-10-034-28/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
| * | sysfs: make __sysfs_remove_dir() recursiveTejun Heo2013-10-031-11/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 deletesTejun Heo2013-10-032-1/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * | sysfs: remove sysfs_addrm_cxt->parent_sdTejun Heo2013-10-035-36/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: drop kobj_ns_type handlingTejun Heo2013-09-265-123/+48

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.

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.

| * | | sysfs: remove ktype->namespace() invocations in directory codeTejun Heo2013-09-264-27/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For some unrecognizable reason, namespace information is communicated to sysfs through ktype->namespace() callback when there's *nothing* which needs the use of a callback. The whole sequence of operations is completely synchronous and sysfs operations simply end up calling back into the layer which just invoked it in order to find out the namespace information, which is completely backwards, obfuscates what's going on and unnecessarily tangles two separate layers. This patch doesn't remove ktype->namespace() but shifts its handling to kobject layer. We probably want to get rid of the callback in the long term. This patch adds an explicit param to sysfs_{create|rename|move}_dir() and renames them to sysfs_{create|rename|move}_dir_ns(), respectively. ktype->namespace() invocations are moved to the calling sites of the above functions. A new helper kboject_namespace() is introduced which directly tests kobj_ns_type_operations->type which should give the same result as testing sysfs_fs_type(parent_sd) and returns @kobj's namespace tag as necessary. kobject_namespace() is extern as it will be used from another file in the following patches. This patch should be an equivalent conversion without any functional difference. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Eric W.

| * | | sysfs: make attr namespace interface less convolutedTejun Heo2013-09-269-129/+106
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
