    kernfs: implement kernfs_get_parent(), kernfs_name/path() and friends · 3eef34ad
    Tejun Heo 提交于
    kernfs_node->parent and ->name are currently marked as "published"
    indicating that kernfs users may access them directly; however, those
    fields may get updated by kernfs_rename[_ns]() and unrestricted access
    may lead to erroneous values or oops.
    
    Protect ->parent and ->name updates with a irq-safe spinlock
    kernfs_rename_lock and implement the following accessors for these
    fields.
    
    * kernfs_name()		- format the node's name into the specified buffer
    * kernfs_path()		- format the node's path into the specified buffer
    * pr_cont_kernfs_name()	- pr_cont a node's name (doesn't need buffer)
    * pr_cont_kernfs_path()	- pr_cont a node's path (doesn't need buffer)
    * kernfs_get_parent()	- pin and return a node's parent
    
    All can be called under any context.  The recursive sysfs_pathname()
    in fs/sysfs/dir.c is replaced with kernfs_path() and
    sysfs_rename_dir_ns() is updated to use kernfs_get_parent() instead of
    dereferencing parent directly.
    
    v2: Dummy definition of kernfs_path() for !CONFIG_KERNFS was missing
        static inline making it cause a lot of build warnings.  Add it.
