      sysfs: Allow sysfs_notify_dirent to be called from interrupt context. · 83db93f4
      Neil Brown 提交于
      sysfs_notify_dirent is a simple atomic operation that can be used to
      alert user-space that new data can be read from a sysfs attribute.
      
      Unfortunately it cannot currently be called from non-process context
      because of its use of spin_lock which is sometimes taken with
      interrupts enabled.
      
      So change all lockers of sysfs_open_dirent_lock to disable interrupts,
      thus making sysfs_notify_dirent safe to be called from non-process
      context (as drivers/md does in md_safemode_timeout).
      
      sysfs_get_open_dirent is (documented as being) only called from
      process context, so it uses spin_lock_irq.  Other places
      use spin_lock_irqsave.
      
      The usage for sysfs_notify_dirent in md_safemode_timeout was
      introduced in 2.6.28, so this patch is suitable for that and more
      recent kernels.

      A sysfs attribute using sysfs_schedule_callback() to commit suicide

      a driver's ->remove function.

      Although we know that the device_unregister path will never acquire
      a lock that a driver might try to acquire in its ->remove, in general
      we should never attempt to flush a workqueue from within the same
      workqueue, and lockdep rightly complains.
      
      So as long as sysfs attributes cannot commit suicide directly and we
      are stuck with this callback mechanism, put the sysfs callbacks on
      their own workqueue instead of the global one.
      
      This has the side benefit that if a suicidal sysfs attribute kicks
      off a long chain of ->remove callbacks, we no longer induce a long
      delay on the global queue.
      
      This also fixes a missing module_put in the error path introduced
      by sysfs-only-allow-one-scheduled-removal-callback-per-kobj.patch.
      
      We never destroy the workqueue, but I'm not sure that's a
      problem.

      sysfs: only allow one scheduled removal callback per kobj · 66942064
      Alex Chiang 提交于
      The only way for a sysfs attribute to remove itself (without
      deadlock) is to use the sysfs_schedule_callback() interface.
      
      Vegard Nossum discovered that a poorly written sysfs ->store
      callback can repeatedly schedule remove callbacks on the same
      device over and over, e.g.
      
      	$ while true ; do echo 1 > /sys/devices/.../remove ; done
      
      If the 'remove' attribute uses the sysfs_schedule_callback API
      and also does not protect itself from concurrent accesses, its
      callback handler will be called multiple times, and will
      eventually attempt to perform operations on a freed kobject,
      leading to many problems.
      
      Instead of requiring all callers of sysfs_schedule_callback to
      implement their own synchronization, provide the protection in
      the infrastructure.
      
      Now, sysfs_schedule_callback will only allow one scheduled
      callback per kobject. On subsequent calls with the same kobject,
      return -EAGAIN.
      
      This is a short term fix. The long term fix is to allow sysfs
      attributes to remove themselves directly, without any of this
      callback hokey pokey.

      sysfs: fix off-by-one error in fill_read_buffer() · 8118a859
      Miao Xie 提交于
      I found that there is a off-by-one problem in the following code.
      
      Version:	2.6.24-rc2
      File:		fs/sysfs/file.c:118-122
      Function:	fill_read_buffer
      --------------------------------------------------------------------
      	count = ops->show(kobj, attr_sd->s_attr.attr, buffer->page);
      
      	sysfs_put_active_two(attr_sd);
      
      	BUG_ON(count > (ssize_t)PAGE_SIZE);
      --------------------------------------------------------------------
      
      Because according to the specification of the sysfs and the implement of
      the show methods, the show methods return the number of bytes which would
      be generated for the given input, excluding the trailing null.So if the
      return value of the show methods equals PAGE_SIZE - 1, the buffer is full
      in fact.  And if the return value equals PAGE_SIZE, the resulting string
      was already truncated,or buffer overflow occurred.
      
      This patch fixes an off-by-one error in fill_read_buffer.

      sysfs: cosmetic clean up on node creation failure paths · 967e35dc
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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.

      sysfs: restructure add/remove paths and fix inode update · fb6896da
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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.
