      sysfs: Shadow directory support · b592fcfe
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      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/.

      add __must_check to device management code · 4a7fb636
      Andrew Morton 提交于
      We're getting a lot of crashes in the sysfs/kobject/device/bus/class code and
      they're very hard to diagnose.
      
      I'm suspecting that in some cases this is because drivers aren't checking
      return values and aren't handling errors correctly.  So the code blithely
      blunders on and crashes later in very obscure ways.
      
      There's just no reason to ignore errors which can and do occur.  So the patch
      sprinkles __must_check all over these APIs.
      
      Causes 1,513 new warnings.  Heh.

      [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

      Revert mount/umount uevent removal · fa675765
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      This change reverts the 033b96fd commit
      from Kay Sievers that removed the mount/umount uevents from the kernel.
      Some older versions of HAL still depend on these events to detect when a
      new device has been mounted.  These events are not correctly emitted,
      and are broken by design, and so, should not be relied upon by any
      future program.  Instead, the /proc/mounts file should be polled to
      properly detect this kind of event.
      
      A feature-removal-schedule.txt entry has been added, noting when this
      interface will be removed from the kernel.
