It might be a kernel disaster if one sysfs entry is freed but still referenced by sysfs tree. Recently Dave and Sasha reported one use-after-free problem on sysfs entry, and the problem has been troubleshooted with help of debug message added in this patch. Given sysfs_get_dirent/sysfs_put are exported APIs, even inside sysfs they are called in many contexts(kobject/attribe add/delete, inode init/drop, dentry lookup/release, readdir, ...), it is healthful to check the removed flag before freeing one entry and dump message if it is freeing without being removed first.

The inode->i_mutex isn't hold when updating filp->f_pos in read()/write(), so the filp->f_pos might be read as 0 or 1 in readdir() when there is concurrent read()/write() on this same file, then may cause use after free in readdir(). The bug can be reproduced with Li Zefan's test code on the link: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2160771/ This patch fixes the use after free under this situation.

In case of 'if (filp->f_pos == 0 or 1)' of sysfs_readdir(), the failure from filldir() isn't handled, and the reference counter of the sysfs_dirent object pointed by filp->private_data will be released without clearing filp->private_data, so use after free bug will be triggered later. This patch returns immeadiately under the situation for fixing the bug, and it is reasonable to return from readdir() when filldir() fails.

While readdir() is running, lseek() may set filp->f_pos as zero, then may leave filp->private_data pointing to one sysfs_dirent object without holding its reference counter, so the sysfs_dirent object may be used after free in next readdir().

The warning check for duplicate sysfs entries can cause a buffer overflow when printing the warning, as strcat() doesn't check buffer sizes. Use strlcat() instead. Since strlcat() doesn't return a pointer to the passed buffer, unlike strcat(), I had to convert the nested concatenation in sysfs_add_one() to an admittedly more obscure comma operator construct, to avoid emitting code for the concatenation if CONFIG_BUG is disabled.

When we change the namespace tag of a sysfs entry, the associated dentry is still kept around. readdir() will work correctly and not display the old entries, but open() will still succeed, so will reads and writes. This will no longer happen if sysfs is remounted, hinting that this is a cache-related problem. I am using the following sequence to demonstrate that: shell1: ip link add type veth unshare -nm shell2: ip link set veth1 <pid_of_shell_1> cat /sys/devices/virtual/net/veth1/ifindex Before that patch, this will succeed (fail to fail). After it, it will correctly return an error. Differently from a normal rename, which we handle fine, changing the object namespace will keep it's path intact. So this check seems necessary as well.

This patch (as1554) fixes a lockdep false-positive report. The problem arises because lockdep is unable to deal with the tree-structured locks created by the device core and sysfs. This particular problem involves a sysfs attribute method that unregisters itself, not from the device it was called for, but from a descendant device. Lockdep doesn't understand the distinction and reports a possible deadlock, even though the operation is safe. This is the sort of thing that would normally be handled by using a nested lock annotation; unfortunately it's not feasible to do that here. There's no sensible way to tell sysfs when attribute removal occurs in the context of a parent attribute method. As a workaround, the patch adds a new flag to struct attribute telling sysfs not to inform lockdep when it acquires a readlock on a sysfs_dirent instance for the attribute. The readlock is still acquired, but lockdep doesn't know about it and hence does not complain about impossible deadlock scenarios. Also added are macros for static initialization of attribute structures with the ignore_lockdep flag set. The three offending attributes in the USB subsystem are converted to use the new macros.

Tracking the number of subdirectories requires an extra field that increases the size of sysfs_dirent. nlinks are not particularly interesting for sysfs and the nlink counts are wrong when network namespaces are involved so stop counting them, and always return nlink == 1. Userspace already knows that directories with nlink == 1 have an nlink count they can't use to count subdirectories. This reduces the size of sysfs_dirent by 8 bytes on 64bit platforms.

Compute a 31 bit hash of directory entries (that can fit in a signed 32bit off_t) and index the sysfs directory entries by that hash, replacing the per directory indexes by name and by inode. Because we now only use a single rbtree this reduces the size of sysfs_dirent by 2 pointers. Because we have fewer cases to deal with the code is now simpler. For now I use the simple hash that the dcache uses as that is easy to use and seems simple enough. In addition to makeing the code simpler using a hash for the file position in readdir brings sysfs in line with other filesystems that have non-trivial directory structures. Signed-off-by: NEric W.

In sysfs_rename we need to remove the optimization of not calling sysfs_unlink_sibling and sysfs_link_sibling if the renamed parent directory is not changing. This optimization is no longer valid now that sysfs dirents are stored in an rbtree sorted by name. Move the assignment of s_ns before the call of sysfs_link_sibling. With no sysfs_dirent fields changing after the call of sysfs_link_sibling this allows sysfs_link_sibling to take any of the directory entries into account when it builds the rbtrees, and s_ns looks like a prime canidate to be used in the rbtree in the future.

In commit 8a9ea323 ("Merge git://.../davem/net-next") where my sysfs changes from the net tree merged with the sysfs rbtree changes from Mickulas Patocka the conflict resolution failed to preserve the simplified property that was the point of my changes. That is sysfs_find_dirent can now say something is a match if and only s_name and s_ns match what we are looking for, and sysfs_readdir can simply return all of the directory entries where s_ns matches the directory that we should be returning. Now that we are back to exact matches we can tweak sysfs_find_dirent and the name rb_tree to order sysfs_dirents by s_ns s_name and remove the second loop in sysfs_find_dirent. However that change seems a bit much for a conflict resolution so it can come later. Signed-off-by: NEric W.

sysfs is a core piece of ifrastructure that many people use and few people have all of the rules in their head on how to use it correctly. Add warnings for people using tagged directories improperly to that any misuses can be caught and diagnosed quickly.

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/*, /sys/devices/virtual/net/*, and potentially a few other directories of the form /sys/ ... /net/*. What this patch does is to add an additional tag field to the sysfs dirent structure. For directories that should show different contents depending on the context such as /sys/class/net/, and /sys/devices/virtual/net/ this tag field is used to specify the context in which those directories should be visible. Effectively this is the same as creating multiple distinct directories with the same name but internally to sysfs the result is nicer. I am calling the concept of a single directory that looks like multiple directories all at the same path in the filesystem tagged directories. For the networking namespace the set of directories whose contents I need to filter with tags can depend on the presence or absence of hotplug hardware or which modules are currently loaded. Which means I need a simple race free way to setup those directories as tagged. To achieve a reace free design all tagged directories are created and managed by sysfs itself. Users of this interface: - define a type in the sysfs_tag_type enumeration. - call sysfs_register_ns_types with the type and it's operations - sysfs_exit_ns when an individual tag is no longer valid - Implement mount_ns() which returns the ns of the calling process so we can attach it to a sysfs superblock. - Implement ktype.namespace() which returns the ns of a syfs kobject. Everything else is left up to sysfs and the driver layer. For the network namespace mount_ns and namespace() are essentially one line functions, and look to remain that. Tags are currently represented a const void * pointers as that is both generic, prevides enough information for equality comparisons, and is trivial to create for current users, as it is just the existing namespace pointer. The work needed in sysfs is more extensive. At each directory or symlink creating I need to check if the directory it is being created in is a tagged directory and if so generate the appropriate tag to place on the sysfs_dirent. Likewise at each symlink or directory removal I need to check if the sysfs directory it is being removed from is a tagged directory and if so figure out which tag goes along with the name I am deleting. Currently only directories which hold kobjects, and symlinks are supported. There is not enough information in the current file attribute interfaces to give us anything to discriminate on which makes it useless, and there are no potential users which makes it an uninteresting problem to solve.

It turns out that holding an active reference on a directory is pointless. The purpose of the active references are to allows us to block when removing sysfs entries that have custom methods so we don't remove modules while running modular code and to keep those custom methods from accessing data structures after the files have been removed. Further sysfs_remove_dir remove all elements in the directory before removing the directory itself, so there is no chance we will remove a directory with active children. Signed-off-by: NEric W.
