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 - call sysfs_register_ns_types with the type and it's operations - sysfs_exit_ns when an individual tag is no longer valid - Implement mount_ns() which returns the ns of the calling process so we can attach it to a sysfs superblock.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.

Add some in-line comments to explain the new infrastructure, which was introduced to support sysfs directory tagging with namespaces.

Acknowledge that the logical sysfs rwsem has one instance per sysfs attribute with different locking depencencies for different attributes. There is a sysfs idiom where writing to one sysfs file causes the addition or removal of other sysfs files. Lumping all of the sysfs attributes together in one lock class causes lockdep to generate lots of false positives. This introduces the requirement that non-static sysfs attributes need to be initialized with sysfs_attr_init or sysfs_bin_attr_init. Strictly speaking this requirement only exists when lockdep is enabled, and when lockdep is enabled we get a bit fat warning if this requirement is not met. Signed-off-by: NEric W.

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.

Holding locks over device_del -> kobject_del -> sysfs_deactivate can cause deadlocks if those same locks are grabbed in sysfs show or store methods. The I model s_active count + completion as a sleeping read/write lock. I describe to lockdep sysfs_get_active as a read_trylock, sysfs_put_active as a read_unlock, and sysfs_deactivate as a write_lock and write_unlock pair. This seems to capture the essence for purposes of finding deadlocks, and in my testing gives finds real issues and ignores non-issues. This brings us back to holding locks over kobject_del is a problem that ideally we should find a way of addressing, but at least lockdep can tell us about the problems instead of requiring developers to debug rare strange system deadlocks, that happen when sysfs files are removed while being written to.

By teaching sysfs_revalidate to hide a dentry for a sysfs_dirent if the sysfs_dirent has been renamed, and by teaching sysfs_lookup to return the original dentry if the sysfs dirent has been renamed. I can show the results of renames correctly without having to update the dcache during the directory rename. This massively simplifies the rename logic allowing a lot of weird sysfs special cases to be removed along with a lot of now unnecesary helper code.

This patch adds a setxattr handler to the file, directory, and symlink inode_operations structures for sysfs. The patch uses hooks introduced in the previous patch to handle the getting and setting of security information for the sysfs inodes. As was suggested by Eric Biederman the struct iattr in the sysfs_dirent structure has been replaced by a structure which contains the iattr, secdata and secdata length to allow the changes to persist in the event that the inode representing the sysfs_dirent is evicted. Because sysfs only stores this information when a change is made all the optional data is moved into one dynamically allocated field. This patch addresses an issue where SELinux was denying virtd access to the PCI configuration entries in sysfs. The lack of setxattr handlers for sysfs required that a single label be assigned to all entries in sysfs. Granting virtd access to every entry in sysfs is not an acceptable solution so fine grained labeling of sysfs is required such that individual entries can be labeled appropriately.

Modify sysfs bin files so that we can remove the bin file while they are still mapped. When the kobject is removed we unmap the bin file and arrange for future accesses to the mapping to receive SIGBUS. Implementing this prevents a nasty DOS when pci devices are hot plugged and unplugged. Where if any of their resources were mmaped the kernel could not free up their pci resources or release their pci data structures.

Support sysfs_notify from atomic context with new sysfs_notify_dirent sysfs_notify currently takes sysfs_mutex. This means that it cannot be called in atomic context. sysfs_mutex is sometimes held over a malloc (sysfs_rename_dir) so it can block on low memory. In md I want to be able to notify on a sysfs attribute from atomic context, and I don't want to block on low memory because I could be in the writeout path for freeing memory. So: - export the "sysfs_dirent" structure along with sysfs_get, sysfs_put and sysfs_get_dirent so I can get the sysfs_dirent that I want to notify on and hold it in an md structure. - split sysfs_notify_dirent out of sysfs_notify so the sysfs_dirent can be notified on with no blocking (just a spinlock).

Sysfs file poll implementation is scattered over sysfs and kobject. Event numbering is done in sysfs_dirent but wait itself is done on kobject. This not only unecessarily bloats both kobject and sysfs_dirent but is also buggy - if a sysfs_dirent is removed while there still are pollers, the associaton betwen the kobject and sysfs_dirent breaks and kobject may be freed with the pollers still sleeping on it. This patch moves whole poll implementation into sysfs_open_dirent. Each time a sysfs_open_dirent is created, event number restarts from 1 and pollers sleep on sysfs_open_dirent. As event sequence number is meaningless without any open file and pollers should have open file and thus sysfs_open_dirent, this ephemeral event counting works and is a saner implementation. This patch fixes the dnagling sleepers bug and reduces the sizes of kobject and sysfs_dirent by one pointer.
