      sysfs: fix off-by-one error in fill_read_buffer() · 8118a859
      Miao Xie 提交于
      I found that there is a off-by-one problem in the following code.
      
      Version:	2.6.24-rc2
      File:		fs/sysfs/file.c:118-122
      Function:	fill_read_buffer
      --------------------------------------------------------------------
      	count = ops->show(kobj, attr_sd->s_attr.attr, buffer->page);
      
      	sysfs_put_active_two(attr_sd);
      
      	BUG_ON(count > (ssize_t)PAGE_SIZE);
      --------------------------------------------------------------------
      
      Because according to the specification of the sysfs and the implement of
      the show methods, the show methods return the number of bytes which would
      be generated for the given input, excluding the trailing null.So if the
      return value of the show methods equals PAGE_SIZE - 1, the buffer is full
      in fact.  And if the return value equals PAGE_SIZE, the resulting string
      was already truncated,or buffer overflow occurred.
      
      This patch fixes an off-by-one error in fill_read_buffer.

      sysfs: cosmetic clean up on node creation failure paths · 967e35dc
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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.  This patch inverts the test and makes those
      blocks look more like others.

      sysfs: restructure add/remove paths and fix inode update · fb6896da
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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: kill unnecessary attribute->owner · 7b595756
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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.

      sysfs: implement sysfs_dirent active reference and immediate disconnect · 0ab66088
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      sysfs: implement sysfs_dirent active reference and immediate disconnect
      
      Opening a sysfs node references its associated kobject, so userland
      can arbitrarily prolong lifetime of a kobject which complicates
      lifetime rules in drivers.  This patch implements active reference and
      makes the association between kobject and sysfs immediately breakable.
      
      Now each sysfs_dirent has two reference counts - s_count and s_active.
      s_count is a regular reference count which guarantees that the
      containing sysfs_dirent is accessible.  As long as s_count reference
      is held, all sysfs internal fields in sysfs_dirent are accessible
      including s_parent and s_name.
      
      The newly added s_active is active reference count.  This is acquired
      by invoking sysfs_get_active() and it's the caller's responsibility to
      ensure sysfs_dirent itself is accessible (should be holding s_count
      one way or the other).  Dereferencing sysfs_dirent to access objects
      out of sysfs proper requires active reference.  This includes access
      to the associated kobjects, attributes and ops.
      
      The active references can be drained and denied by calling
      sysfs_deactivate().  All active sysfs_dirents must be deactivated
      after deletion but before the default reference is dropped.  This
      enables immediate disconnect of sysfs nodes.  Once a sysfs_dirent is
      deleted, it won't access any entity external to sysfs proper.
      
      Because attr/bin_attr ops access both the node itself and its parent
      for kobject, they need to hold active references to both.
      sysfs_get/put_active_two() helpers are provided to help grabbing both
      references.  Parent's is acquired first and released last.
      
      Unlike other operations, mmapped area lingers on after mmap() is
      finished and the module implement implementing it and kobj need to
      stay referenced till all the mapped pages are gone.  This is
      accomplished by holding one set of active references to the bin_attr
      and its parent if there have been any mmap during lifetime of an
      openfile.  The references are dropped when the openfile is released.
      
      This change makes sysfs lifetime rules independent from both kobject's
      and module's.  It not only fixes several race conditions caused by
      sysfs not holding onto the proper module when referencing kobject, but
      also helps fixing and simplifying lifetime management in driver model
      and drivers by taking sysfs out of the equation.

      sysfs: make sysfs_dirent->s_element a union · 3e519038

      Make sd->s_element a union of sysfs_elem_{dir|symlink|attr|bin_attr}
      and rename it to s_elem.  This is to achieve...
      
      * some level of type checking : changing symlink to point to

      * easier / standardized dereferencing
      * allow sysfs_elem_* to contain more than one entry
      
      Where possible, pointer is obtained by directly deferencing from sd
      instead of going through other entities.  This reduces dependencies to

      sysfs: consolidate sysfs_dirent creation functions · a26cd722

      Currently there are four functions to create sysfs_dirent -

      sysfs_make_dirent().  Other than sysfs_make_dirent(), no function has

      This patch consolidates sysfs_dirent creation functions into the
      following two.

      * sysfs_attach_dirent() : attach to sysfs_dirent hierarchy and/or

      This simplifies interface and gives callers more flexibility.  This is
