      sysfs: clean up sysfs_get_dirent() · 388975cc
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      The pre-existing sysfs interfaces which take explicit namespace
      argument are weird in that they place the optional @ns in front of
      @name which is contrary to the established convention.  For example,
      we end up forcing vast majority of sysfs_get_dirent() users to do
      sysfs_get_dirent(parent, NULL, name), which is silly and error-prone
      especially as @ns and @name may be interchanged without causing
      compilation warning.
      
      This renames sysfs_get_dirent() to sysfs_get_dirent_ns() and swap the
      positions of @name and @ns, and sysfs_get_dirent() is now a wrapper
      around sysfs_get_dirent_ns().  This makes confusions a lot less
      likely.
      
      There are other interfaces which take @ns before @name.  They'll be
      updated by following patches.
      
      This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.
      
      v2: EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() wasn't updated leading to undefined symbol
          error on module builds.  Reported by build test robot.  Fixed.

      sysfs: remove ktype->namespace() invocations in symlink code · 4b30ee58
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      There's no reason for sysfs to be calling ktype->namespace().  It is
      backwards, obfuscates what's going on and unnecessarily tangles two
      separate layers.
      
      There are two places where symlink code calls ktype->namespace().
      
      * sysfs_do_create_link_sd() calls it to find out the namespace tag of
        the target directory.  Unless symlinking races with cross-namespace
        renaming, this equals @target_sd->s_ns.
      
      * sysfs_rename_link() uses it to find out the new namespace to rename
        to and the new namespace can be different from the existing one.
        The function is renamed to sysfs_rename_link_ns() with an explicit
        @ns argument and the ktype->namespace() invocation is shifted to the
        device layer.
      
      While this patch replaces ktype->namespace() invocation with the
      recorded result in @target_sd, this shouldn't result in any behvior
      difference.

      sysfs: make attr namespace interface less convoluted · 58292cbe
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      sysfs ns (namespace) implementation became more convoluted than
      necessary while trying to hide ns information from visible interface.
      The relatively recent attr ns support is a good example.
      
      * attr ns tag is determined by sysfs_ops->namespace() callback while
        dir tag is determined by kobj_type->namespace().  The placement is
        arbitrary.
      
      * Instead of performing operations with explicit ns tag, the namespace
        callback is routed through sysfs_attr_ns(), sysfs_ops->namespace(),
        class_attr_namespace(), class_attr->namespace().  It's not simpler
        in any sense.  The only thing this convolution does is traversing
        the whole stack backwards.
      
      The namespace callbacks are unncessary because the operations involved
      are inherently synchronous.  The information can be provided in in
      straight-forward top-down direction and reversing that direction is
      unnecessary and against basic design principles.
      
      This backward interface is unnecessarily convoluted and hinders
      properly separating out sysfs from driver model / kobject for proper
      layering.  This patch updates attr ns support such that
      
      * sysfs_ops->namespace() and class_attr->namespace() are dropped.
      
      * sysfs_{create|remove}_file_ns(), which take explicit @ns param, are
        added and sysfs_{create|remove}_file() are now simple wrappers
        around the ns aware functions.
      
      * ns handling is dropped from sysfs_chmod_file().  Nobody uses it at
        this point.  sysfs_chmod_file_ns() can be added later if necessary.
      
      * Explicit @ns is propagated through class_{create|remove}_file_ns()
        and netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns().
      
      * driver/net/bonding which is currently the only user of attr
        namespace is updated to use netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns()
        with @bh->net as the ns tag instead of using the namespace callback.
      
      This patch should be an equivalent conversion without any functional
      difference.  It makes the code easier to follow, reduces lines of code
      a bit and helps proper separation and layering.
