A sysfs attribute using sysfs_schedule_callback() to commit suicide may end up calling device_unregister(), which will eventually call a driver's ->remove function.

So as long as sysfs attributes cannot commit suicide directly and we are stuck with this callback mechanism, put the sysfs callbacks on their own workqueue instead of the global one. This has the side benefit that if a suicidal sysfs attribute kicks off a long chain of ->remove callbacks, we no longer induce a long delay on the global queue. This also fixes a missing module_put in the error path introduced by sysfs-only-allow-one-scheduled-removal-callback-per-kobj.patch. We never destroy the workqueue, but I'm not sure that's a problem.

The only way for a sysfs attribute to remove itself (without deadlock) is to use the sysfs_schedule_callback() interface. Vegard Nossum discovered that a poorly written sysfs ->store callback can repeatedly schedule remove callbacks on the same device over and over, e.g. $ while true ; do echo 1 > /sys/devices/.../remove ; done If the 'remove' attribute uses the sysfs_schedule_callback API and also does not protect itself from concurrent accesses, its callback handler will be called multiple times, and will eventually attempt to perform operations on a freed kobject, leading to many problems. Instead of requiring all callers of sysfs_schedule_callback to implement their own synchronization, provide the protection in the infrastructure. Now, sysfs_schedule_callback will only allow one scheduled callback per kobject. On subsequent calls with the same kobject, return -EAGAIN. This is a short term fix. The long term fix is to allow sysfs attributes to remove themselves directly, without any of this callback hokey pokey.

Support sysfs_notify from atomic context with new sysfs_notify_dirent sysfs_notify currently takes sysfs_mutex. This means that it cannot be called in atomic context. sysfs_mutex is sometimes held over a malloc (sysfs_rename_dir) so it can block on low memory. In md I want to be able to notify on a sysfs attribute from atomic context, and I don't want to block on low memory because I could be in the writeout path for freeing memory. So: - export the "sysfs_dirent" structure along with sysfs_get, sysfs_put and sysfs_get_dirent so I can get the sysfs_dirent that I want to notify on and hold it in an md structure. - split sysfs_notify_dirent out of sysfs_notify so the sysfs_dirent can be notified on with no blocking (just a spinlock).

Requiring userspace to close and re-open sysfs attributes has been the policy since before 2.6.12. It allows userspace to get a consistent snapshot of kernel state and consume it with incremental reads and seeks. Now, if the file position is zero the kernel assumes userspace wants to see the new value. The application for this change is to allow a userspace RAID metadata handler to check the state of an array without causing any memory allocations. Thus not causing writeback to a raid array that might be blocked waiting for userspace to take action.

Sysfs file poll implementation is scattered over sysfs and kobject. Event numbering is done in sysfs_dirent but wait itself is done on kobject. This not only unecessarily bloats both kobject and sysfs_dirent but is also buggy - if a sysfs_dirent is removed while there still are pollers, the associaton betwen the kobject and sysfs_dirent breaks and kobject may be freed with the pollers still sleeping on it. This patch moves whole poll implementation into sysfs_open_dirent. Each time a sysfs_open_dirent is created, event number restarts from 1 and pollers sleep on sysfs_open_dirent. As event sequence number is meaningless without any open file and pollers should have open file and thus sysfs_open_dirent, this ephemeral event counting works and is a saner implementation. This patch fixes the dnagling sleepers bug and reduces the sizes of kobject and sysfs_dirent by one pointer.

Node addition failure is detected by testing return value of sysfs_addfm_finish() which returns the number of added and removed nodes. As the function is called as the last step of addition right on top of error handling block, the if blocks looked like the following. if (sysfs_addrm_finish(&acxt)) success handling, usually return; /* fall through to error handling */ This is the opposite of usual convention in sysfs and makes the code difficult to understand.

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 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. For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the following message. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/510293 (tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to merge things properly.)

Now that sysfs_dirent can be disconnected from kobject on deletion, there is no need to orphan each attribute files. All [bin_]attribute nodes are automatically orphaned when the parent node is deleted. Kill attribute file orphaning.
