13c589d5 ("sysfs: use seq_file when reading regular files") converted regular sysfs files to use seq_file. The commit substituted generic_file_llseek() with seq_lseek() for llseek implementation. Before the change, all regular sysfs files were allowed to seek to any position in [0, PAGE_SIZE] as the file size is always PAGE_SIZE and generic_file_llseek() allows any seeking inside the range under file size; however, seq_lseek()'s behavior is different. It traverses the output by repeatedly invoking ->show() until it reaches the target offset or traversal indicates EOF. As seq_files are fully dynamic and may not end at all, it doesn't support seeking from the end (SEEK_END). Apparently, there are userland tools which uses SEEK_END to discover the buffer size to use and the switch to seq_lseek() disturbs them as SEEK_END fails with -EINVAL. The only benefits of using seq_lseek() instead of generic_file_llseek() are * Early failure. If traversing to certain file position should fail, seq_lseek() will report such failures on lseek(2) instead of the following read/write operations. * EOF detection. While SEEK_END is not supported, SEEK_SET/CUR + large offset can be used to detect eof - eof at the time of the seek anyway as the file size may change dynamically. Both aren't necessary for sysfs or prospect kernfs users. Revert to genefic_file_llseek() and preserve the original behavior.

3124eb16 ("sysfs: merge regular and bin file handling") folded bin file handling into regular file handling. Among other things, bin file now shares the same open path including sysfs_open_dirent association using sysfs_dirent->s_attr.open. This is buggy because ->s_bin_attr lives in the same union and doesn't have the field. This bug doesn't trigger because sysfs_elem_bin_attr doesn't have an active field at the conflicting position. It does have a field "buffers" but it isn't used anymore. This patch collapses sysfs_elem_bin_attr into sysfs_elem_attr so that the bin_attr is accessed through ->s_attr.bin_attr which lives with ->s_attr.attr in an anonymous union. The code paths already assume bin_attr contains attr as the first element, so this doesn't add any more assumptions while making it explicit that the two types are handled together.

Before patch(sysfs: prepare path write for unified regular / bin file handling), when size of bin file is zero, writting still can continue, but this patch changes the behaviour. The worse thing is that firmware loader is broken by this patch, and user space application can't write to firmware bin file any more because both firmware loader and drivers can't know at advance how large the firmware file is and have to set its initialized size as zero. This patch fixes the problem and keeps behaviour of writting to bin as before.

While looking at the code, I noticed that bin_attribute read() and write() ops copy the inode size into an int for futher comparisons. Some bin_attributes can be fairly large. For example, pci creates some for BARs set to the BAR size and giant BARs are around the corner, so this is going to break something somewhere eventually. Let's use the right type.

375b611e ("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. # cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.2/usb1/authorized ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 540 at /work/os/work/fs/sysfs/file.c:79 sysfs_file_ops+0x4e/0x60() Modules linked in: CPU: 1 PID: 540 Comm: cat Not tainted 3.11.0-work+ #3 Hardware name: Bochs Bochs, BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 0000000000000009 ffff880016205c08 ffffffff81ca0131 0000000000000000 ffff880016205c40 ffffffff81096d0d ffff8800166cb898 ffff8800166f6f60 ffffffff8125a220 ffff880011ab1ec0 ffff88000aff0c78 ffff880016205c50 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81ca0131>] dump_stack+0x4e/0x82 [<ffffffff81096d0d>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7d/0xa0 [<ffffffff81096dea>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [<ffffffff8125994e>] sysfs_file_ops+0x4e/0x60 [<ffffffff8125a274>] sysfs_open_file+0x54/0x300 [<ffffffff811df612>] do_dentry_open.isra.17+0x182/0x280 [<ffffffff811df820>] finish_open+0x30/0x40 [<ffffffff811f0623>] do_last+0x503/0xd90 [<ffffffff811f0f6b>] path_openat+0xbb/0x6d0 [<ffffffff811f23ba>] do_filp_open+0x3a/0x90 [<ffffffff811e09a9>] do_sys_open+0x129/0x220 [<ffffffff811e0abe>] SyS_open+0x1e/0x20 [<ffffffff81caf3c2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b ---[ end trace aa48096b111dafdb ]--- Rename fs/sysfs/dir.c::ignore_lockdep() to sysfs_ignore_lockdep() and move it to fs/sysfs/sysfs.h and make sysfs_file_ops() skip lockdep assertion if sysfs_ignore_lockdep() is true.

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.

sysfs read path implements its own buffering scheme between userland and kernel callbacks, which essentially is a degenerate duplicate of seq_file. This patch replaces the custom read buffering implementation in sysfs with seq_file. While the amount of code reduction is small, this reduces low level hairiness and enables future development of a new versatile API based on seq_file so that sysfs features can be shared with other subsystems. As write path was already converted to not use sysfs_open_file->page, this patch makes ->page and ->count unused and removes them. Userland behavior remains the same except for some extreme corner cases - e.g. sysfs will now regenerate the content each time a file is read after a non-contiguous seek whereas the original code would keep using the same content. While this is a userland visible behavior change, it is extremely unlikely to be noticeable and brings sysfs behavior closer to that of procfs.

There isn't much to be gained by keeping around kernel buffer while a file is open especially as the read path planned to be converted to use seq_file and won't use the buffer. This patch makes sysfs_write_file() use per-write transient buffer instead of sysfs_open_file->page. This simplifies the write path, enables removing sysfs_open_file->page once read path is updated and will help merging bin file write path which already requires the use of a transient buffer due to a locking order issue. As the function comments of flush_write_buffer() and sysfs_write_buffer() are being updated anyway, reformat them so that they're more conventional. v2: Use min_t() instead of min() in sysfs_write_file() to avoid build warning on arm.

->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_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.

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.

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.

Recently an OOPS was observed from the usb serial io_ti driver when it tried to remove sysfs directories. Upon investigation it turns out this driver was always buggy and that a recent sysfs change had stopped guarding itself against removing attributes from sysfs directories that had already been removed. :( Historically we have been silent about attempting to files from nonexistent sysfs directories and have politely returned error codes. That has resulted in people writing broken code that ignores the error codes. Issue a kernel WARNING and a stack backtrace to make it clear in no uncertain terms that abusing sysfs is not ok, and the callers need to fix their code. This change transforms the io_ti OOPS into a more comprehensible error message and stack backtrace. Signed-off-by: NEric W.

sysfs is a core piece of ifrastructure that many people use and few people have all of the rules in their head on how to use it correctly. Add warnings for people using tagged directories improperly to that any misuses can be caught and diagnosed quickly. A single inexpensive test in sysfs_find_dirent is almost sufficient to catch all possible misuses. An additional warning is needed in sysfs_add_dirent so that we actually fail when attempting to add an untagged dirent in a tagged directory. Signed-off-by: NEric W.

Looking up files in sysfs is hard to understand and analyize because we currently allow placing untagged files in tagged directories. In the implementation of that we have two subtly different meanings of NULL. NULL meaning there is no tag on a directory entry and NULL meaning we don't care which namespace the lookup is performed for. This multiple uses of NULL have resulted in subtle bugs (since fixed) in the code. Currently it is only the bonding driver that needs to have an untagged file in a tagged directory. To untagle this mess I am adding support for tagged files to sysfs. Modifying the bonding driver to implement bonding_masters as a tagged file. Registering bonding_masters once for each network namespace. Then I am removing support for untagged entries in tagged sysfs directories. Resulting in code that is much easier to reason about.

On some arches (x86, sh, arm, unicore, powerpc) the oops message would print out the last sysfs file accessed. This was very useful in finding a number of sysfs and driver core bugs in the 2.5 and early 2.6 development days, but it has been a number of years since this file has actually helped in debugging anything that couldn't also be trivially determined from the stack traceback. So it's time to delete the line. This is good as we need all the space we can get for oops messages at times on consoles.
