      [PATCH] md: Fix badness in sysfs_notify caused by md_new_event · c331eb04
      NeilBrown 提交于
      From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
      
      If an error is reported by a drive in a RAID array (which is done via
      bi_end_io - in interrupt context), we call md_error and md_new_event which
      calls sysfs_notify.  However sysfs_notify grabs a mutex and so cannot be
      called in interrupt context.
      
      This patch just creates a variant of md_new_event which avoids the sysfs
      call, and uses that.  A better fix for later is to arrange for the event to
      be called from user-context.
      
      Note: avoiding the sysfs call isn't a problem as an error will not, by
      itself, modify the sync_action attribute.  (We do still need to
      wake_up(&md_event_waiters) as an error by itself will modify /proc/mdstat).

      [PATCH] sysfs: Allow sysfs attribute files to be pollable · 4508a7a7
      NeilBrown 提交于
      It works like this:
        Open the file
        Read all the contents.
        Call poll requesting POLLERR or POLLPRI (so select/exceptfds works)
        When poll returns,
           close the file and go to top of loop.
         or lseek to start of file and go back to the 'read'.
      
      Events are signaled by an object manager calling
         sysfs_notify(kobj, dir, attr);
      
      If the dir is non-NULL, it is used to find a subdirectory which
      contains the attribute (presumably created by sysfs_create_group).
      
      This has a cost of one int  per attribute, one wait_queuehead per kobject,
      one int per open file.
      
      The name "sysfs_notify" may be confused with the inotify
      functionality.  Maybe it would be nice to support inotify for sysfs
      attributes as well?
      
      This patch also uses sysfs_notify to allow /sys/block/md*/md/sync_action
      to be pollable
