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.

Some sysfs operations require dentry and inode. sysfs_get_dentry() looks up and gets dentry for the specified sysfs_dirent. It finds the first ancestor with dentry attached and starts looking up dentries from there. Looking up from the nearest ancestor is necessary to support shadowed directories because we can't reliably lookup dentry for one of the shadows. Dentries for each shadow will be pinned in memory such that they can serve as the starting point for dentry lookup.

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.

Make sysfs_dirent->s_active an atomic_t instead of rwsem. This reduces the size of sysfs_dirent from 136 to 104 on 64bit and from 76 to 60 on 32bit with lock debugging turned off. With lock debugging turned on the reduction is much larger. s_active starts at zero and each active reference increments s_active. Putting a reference decrements s_active. Deactivation subtracts SD_DEACTIVATED_BIAS which is currently INT_MIN and assumed to be small enough to make s_active negative. If s_active is negative, sysfs_get() no longer grants new references. Deactivation succeeds immediately if there is no active user; otherwise, it waits using a completion for the last put. Due to the removal of lockdep tricks, this change makes things less trickier in release_sysfs_dirent(). As all the complexity is contained in three s_active functions, I think it's more readable this way. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

After dentry is reclaimed, sysfs always used to allocate new dentry and inode if the file is accessed again. This causes problem with operations which only pin the inode. For example, if inotify watch is added to a sysfs file and the dentry for the file is reclaimed, the next update event creates new dentry and new inode making the inotify watch miss all the events from there on. This patch fixes it by using iget_locked() instead of new_inode(). sysfs_new_inode() is renamed to sysfs_get_inode() and inode is initialized iff the inode is newly allocated. sysfs_instantiate() is responsible for unlocking new inodes.

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 symlink is implemented by referencing dentry and kobject from sysfs_dirent - symlink entry references kobject, dentry is used to walk the tree. This complicates object lifetimes rules and is dangerous - for example, there is no way to tell to which module the target of a symlink belongs and referencing that kobject can make it linger after the module is gone. This patch reimplements symlink using only sysfs_dirent tree. sd for a symlink points and holds reference to the target sysfs_dirent and all walking is done using sysfs_dirent tree.

Allowing attribute and symlink dentries to be reclaimed means sd->s_dentry can change dynamically. However, updates to the field are unsynchronized leading to race conditions. This patch adds sysfs_lock and use it to synchronize updates to sd->s_dentry. Due to the locking around ->d_iput, the check in sysfs_drop_dentry() is complex. sysfs_lock only protect sd->s_dentry pointer itself. The validity of the dentry is protected by dcache_lock, so whether dentry is alive or not can only be tested while holding both locks.

But, the dentry can be reclaimed under memory pressure, and there is no synchronization with readdir. This patch follows Tejun's scheme of allocating and storing an inode number in the new s_ino member of a sysfs_dirent, when dirents are created, and retrieving it from there for readdir, so that the pointer chain doesn't have to be traversed. Tejun's upstream patch uses a new-ish "ida" allocator which brings along some extra complexity; this -stable patch has a brain-dead incrementing counter which does not guarantee uniqueness, but because sysfs doesn't hash inodes as iunique expects, uniqueness wasn't guaranteed today anyway.

The problem. When implementing a network namespace I need to be able to have multiple network devices with the same name. Currently this is a problem for /sys/class/net/*. What I want is a separate /sys/class/net directory in sysfs for each network namespace, and I want to name each of them /sys/class/net. I looked and the VFS actually allows that. All that is needed is for /sys/class/net to implement a follow link method to redirect lookups to the real directory you want. Implementing a follow link method that is sensitive to the current network namespace turns out to be 3 lines of code so it looks like a clean approach. Modifying sysfs so it doesn't get in my was is a bit trickier. I am calling the concept of multiple directories all at the same path in the filesystem shadow directories. With the directory entry really at that location the shadow master. The following patch modifies sysfs so it can handle a directory structure slightly different from the kobject tree so I can implement the shadow directories for handling /sys/class/net/.
