This event closes an important gap in the bus notifiers. There is already the BUS_NOTIFY_DEL_DEVICE event, but that is sent when the device is still bound to its device driver. This is too early for the IOMMU code to destroy any mappings for the device, as they might still be in use by the driver. The new BUS_NOTIFY_REMOVED_DEVICE event introduced with this patch closes this gap as it is sent when the device is already unbound from its device driver and almost completly removed from the driver core. With this event the IOMMU code can safely destroy any mappings and other data structures when a device is removed.

snprintf() returns the number of bytes that could have been written (excluding the null), not the actual number of bytes written. Given a long enough subsystem or device name, these functions will advance beyond the end of the on-stack buffer in dev_vprintk_exit(), resulting in an information leak or stack corruption. I don't know whether such a long name is currently possible. In case snprintf() returns a value >= the buffer size, do not add structured logging information. Also WARN if this happens, so we can fix the driver or increase the buffer size. Signed-off-by: NBen Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Signed-off-by: NGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

This reverts commit 401097ea. The original changelog said: A patch series to make .shutdown execute asynchronously. Some drivers's shutdown can take a lot of time. The patches can help save some shutdown time. The patches use Arjan's async API. This patch: synchronize all tasks submitted by .shutdown However, I'm not able to find any evidence that any other patches from this series were applied, nor am I able to find any async tasks that are scheduled in a .shutdown context. On the other hand, we see occasional hangs on shutdown that appear to be caused by the async_synchronize_full() in device_shutdown() waiting forever for the async probing in sd if a SCSI disk shows up at just the wrong time — the system starts the probe, but begins shutting down and tears down too much of the SCSI driver to finish the probe. If we had any async shutdown tasks, I guess the right fix would be to create a "shutdown" async domain and have device_shutdown() only wait for that domain. But since there apparently are no async shutdown tasks, we can just revert the waiting.

Sometimes it's necessary to implement a node which wants to delete nodes including itself. This isn't straightforward because of kernfs active reference. While a file operation is in progress, an active reference is held and kernfs_remove() waits for all such references to drain before completing. For a self-deleting node, this is a deadlock as kernfs_remove() ends up waiting for an active reference that itself is sitting on top of. This currently is worked around in the sysfs layer using sysfs_schedule_callback() which makes such removals asynchronous. While it works, it's rather cumbersome and inherently breaks synchronicity of the operation - the file operation which triggered the operation may complete before the removal is finished (or even started) and the removal may fail asynchronously. If a removal operation is immmediately followed by another operation which expects the specific name to be available (e.g. removal followed by rename onto the same name), there's no way to make the latter operation reliable. The thing is there's no inherent reason for this to be asynchrnous. All that's necessary to do this synchronous is a dedicated operation which drops its own active ref and deactivates self. This patch implements kernfs_remove_self() and its wrappers in sysfs and driver core. kernfs_remove_self() is to be called from one of the file operations, drops the active ref the task is holding, removes the self node, and restores active ref to the dead node so that the ref is balanced afterwards. __kernfs_remove() is updated so that it takes an early exit if the target node is already fully removed so that the active ref restored by kernfs_remove_self() after removal doesn't confuse the deactivation path. This makes implementing self-deleting nodes very easy. The normal removal path doesn't even need to be changed to use kernfs_remove_self() for the self-deleting node. The method can invoke kernfs_remove_self() on itself before proceeding the normal removal path. kernfs_remove() invoked on the node by the normal deletion path will simply be ignored. This will replace sysfs_schedule_callback(). A subtle feature of sysfs_schedule_callback() is that it collapses multiple invocations - even if multiple removals are triggered, the removal callback is run only once. An equivalent effect can be achieved by testing the return value of kernfs_remove_self() - only the one which gets %true return value should proceed with actual deletion. All other instances of kernfs_remove_self() will wait till the enclosing kernfs operation which invoked the winning instance of kernfs_remove_self() finishes and then return %false. This trivially makes all users of kernfs_remove_self() automatically show correct synchronous behavior even when there are multiple concurrent operations - all "echo 1 > delete" instances will finish only after the whole operation is completed by one of the instances. Note that manipulation of active ref is implemented in separate public functions - kernfs_[un]break_active_protection(). kernfs_remove_self() is the only user at the moment but this will be used to cater to more complex cases. v2: For !CONFIG_SYSFS, dummy version kernfs_remove_self() was missing and sysfs_remove_file_self() had incorrect return type. Fix it. Reported by kbuild test bot. v3: kernfs_[un]break_active_protection() separated out from kernfs_remove_self() and exposed as public API.

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: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Eric W.

The put_device(dev) at the bottom of the loop of device_shutdown may result in the dev being cleaned up. In device_create_release, the dev is kfreed. However, device_shutdown attempts to use the dev pointer again after put_device by referring to dev->parent. Copy the parent pointer instead to avoid this condition. This bug was found on Chromium OS's chromeos-3.8, which is based on v3.8.11. See bug report : https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=297842 This can easily be reproduced when shutting down with hidraw devices that report battery condition. Two examples are the HP Bluetooth Mouse X4000b and the Apple Magic Mouse. For example, with the magic mouse : The dev in question is "hidraw0" dev->parent is "magicmouse" In the course of the shutdown for this device, the input event cleanup calls a put on hidraw0, decrementing its reference count. When we finally get to put_device(dev) in device_shutdown, kobject_cleanup is called and device_create_release does kfree(dev). dev->parent is no longer valid, and we may crash in put_device(dev->parent).

device_hotplug_lock is held around the acpi_bus_trim() call in acpi_scan_hot_remove() which generally removes devices (it removes ACPI device objects at least, but it may also remove "physical" device objects through .detach() callbacks of ACPI scan handlers). Thus, potentially, device sysfs attributes are removed under that lock and to remove those attributes it is necessary to hold the s_active references of their directory entries for writing. On the other hand, the execution of a .show() or .store() callback from a sysfs attribute is carried out with that attribute's s_active reference held for reading. Consequently, if any device sysfs attribute that may be removed from within acpi_scan_hot_remove() through acpi_bus_trim() has a .store() or .show() callback which acquires device_hotplug_lock, the execution of that callback may deadlock with the removal of the attribute. [Unfortunately, the "online" device attribute of CPUs and memory blocks is one of them.] To avoid such deadlocks, make all of the sysfs attribute callbacks that need to lock device hotplug, for example store_online(), use a special function, lock_device_hotplug_sysfs(), to lock device hotplug and return the result of that function immediately if it is not zero. This will cause the s_active reference of the directory entry in question to be released and the syscall to be restarted if device_hotplug_lock cannot be acquired. [show_online() actually doesn't need to lock device hotplug, but it is useful to serialize it with respect to device_offline() and device_online() for the same device (in case user space attempts to run them concurrently) which can be done with the help of device_lock().] Reported-by: NYasuaki Ishimatsu <isimatu.yasuaki@jp.fujitsu.com> Reported-and-tested-by: NGu Zheng <guz.fnst@cn.fujitsu.com> Suggested-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NRafael J.

In some cases, graceful hot-removal of devices is not possible, although in principle the devices in question support hotplug. For example, that may happen for the last CPU in the system or for memory modules holding kernel memory. In those cases it is nice to be able to check if the given device can be gracefully hot-removed before triggering a removal procedure that cannot be aborted or reversed. Unfortunately, however, the kernel currently doesn't provide any support for that. To address that deficiency, introduce support for offline and online operations that can be performed on devices, respectively, before a hot-removal and in case when it is necessary (or convenient) to put a device back online after a successful offline (that has not been followed by removal). The idea is that the offline will fail whenever the given device cannot be gracefully removed from the system and it will not be allowed to use the device after a successful offline (until a subsequent online) in analogy with the existing CPU offline/online mechanism. For now, the offline and online operations are introduced at the bus type level, as that should be sufficient for the most urgent use cases (CPUs and memory modules). In the future, however, the approach may be extended to cover some more complicated device offline/online scenarios involving device drivers etc. The lock_device_hotplug() and unlock_device_hotplug() functions are introduced because subsequent patches need to put larger pieces of code under device_hotplug_lock to prevent race conditions between device offline and removal from happening.

Some drivers want to tell userspace what uid and gid should be used for their device nodes, so allow that information to percolate through the driver core to userspace in order to make this happen. This means that some systems (i.e. Android and friends) will not need to even run a udev-like daemon for their device node manager and can just rely in devtmpfs fully, reducing their footprint even more.

Kay tells me the most appropriate place to expose workqueues to userland would be /sys/devices/virtual/workqueues/WQ_NAME which is symlinked to /sys/bus/workqueue/devices/WQ_NAME and that we're lacking a way to do that outside of driver core as virtual_device_parent() isn't exported and there's no inteface to conveniently create a virtual subsystem. This patch implements subsys_virtual_register() by factoring out subsys_register() from subsys_system_register() and using it with virtual_device_parent() as the origin directory. It's identical to subsys_system_register() other than the origin directory but we aren't gonna restrict the device names which should be used under it. This will be used to expose workqueue attributes to userland.

All in-kernel users of class_find_device() don't really need mutable data for match callback. In two places (kernel/power/suspend_test.c, drivers/scsi/osd/osd_uld.c) this patch changes match callbacks to use const search data. The const is propagated to rtc_class_open() and power_supply_get_by_name() parameters. Note that there's a dev reference leak in suspend_test.c that's not touched in this patch.
