We're in the process of separating out core sysfs functionality into kernfs which will deal with sysfs_dirents directly. This patch prepares the rest - open, release and poll. There isn't much to do. Just renaming is enough. As sysfs_file_operations and sysfs_bin_operations are identical now, use the same file_operations for both - kernfs_file_operations. This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

A directory sysfs_dirent points to the associated kobj. A regular or bin file points to the associated [bin_]attribute. This patch replaces sysfs_dirent->s_dir.kobj and ->s_attr.[bin_]attr with void * ->priv. This is to prepare for kernfs interface so that sysfs can specify the private data in the same way for directories and files. This lower debuggability but not by much - the whole thing was overlaid in a union anyway. If debuggability becomes an issue, we can later add ->priv accessors which explicitly check for the sysfs_dirent type and performs casting. This patch doesn't introduce any behavior difference.

Introduce kernfs setattr interface - kernfs_setattr(). sysfs_sd_setattr() is renamed to __kernfs_setattr() and kernfs_setattr() is a simple wrapper around it with sysfs_mutex locking. sysfs_chmod_file() is updated to get an explicit ref on kobj->sd and then invoke kernfs_setattr() so that it doesn't have to use internal interface. This patch doesn't introduce any behavior differences. v2: Dummy implementation for !CONFIG_SYSFS updated to return -ENOSYS.

3124eb16 ("sysfs: merge regular and bin file handling") folded bin file handling into regular file handling. Among other things, bin file now shares the same open path including sysfs_open_dirent association using sysfs_dirent->s_attr.open. This is buggy because ->s_bin_attr lives in the same union and doesn't have the field. This bug doesn't trigger because sysfs_elem_bin_attr doesn't have an active field at the conflicting position. It does have a field "buffers" but it isn't used anymore. This patch collapses sysfs_elem_bin_attr into sysfs_elem_attr so that the bin_attr is accessed through ->s_attr.bin_attr which lives with ->s_attr.attr in an anonymous union. The code paths already assume bin_attr contains attr as the first element, so this doesn't add any more assumptions while making it explicit that the two types are handled together.

With the previous changes, sysfs regular file code is ready to handle bin files too. This patch makes bin files share the regular file path. * sysfs_create/remove_bin_file() are moved to fs/sysfs/file.c. * sysfs_init_inode() is updated to use the new sysfs_bin_operations instead of bin_fops for bin files. * fs/sysfs/bin.c and the related pieces are removed. This patch shouldn't introduce any behavior difference to bin file accesses. Overall, this unification reduces the amount of duplicate logic, makes behaviors more consistent and paves the road for building simpler and more versatile interface which will allow other subsystems to make use of sysfs for their pseudo filesystems. v2: Stale fs/sysfs/bin.c reference dropped from Documentation/DocBook/filesystems.tmpl.

Given a sysfs_dirent, there is no reason to have multiple versions of removal functions. A function which removes the specified sysfs_dirent and its descendants is enough. This patch intorduces [__}sysfs_remove() which replaces all internal variations of removal functions. This will be the only removal function in the planned new sysfs_dirent based interface.

sysfs_addrm_start/finish() enclose sysfs_dirent additions and deletions and sysfs_addrm_cxt is used to record information necessary to finish the operations. Currently, sysfs_addrm_start() takes @parent_sd, records it in sysfs_addrm_cxt, and assumes that all operations in the block are performed under that @parent_sd. This assumption has been fine until now but we want to make some operations behave recursively and, while having @parent_sd recorded in sysfs_addrm_cxt doesn't necessarily prevents that, it becomes confusing. This patch removes sysfs_addrm_cxt->parent_sd and makes sysfs_add_one() take an explicit @parent_sd parameter. Note that sysfs_remove_one() doesn't need the extra argument as its parent is always known from the target @sd. While at it, add __acquires/releases() notations to sysfs_addrm_start/finish() respectively. This patch doesn't make any functional difference.

Some internal sysfs functions 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. This is confusing and error-prone especially as @ns and @name may be interchanged without causing compilation warning.

This patch fixies follwing two memory leak patterns that reported by kmemleak. sysfs_sd_setsecdata() is called during sys_lsetxattr() operation. It checks sd->s_iattr is NULL or not. Then if it is NULL, it calls sysfs_init_inode_attrs() to allocate memory. That code is this. iattrs = sd->s_iattr; if (!iattrs) iattrs = sysfs_init_inode_attrs(sd); The iattrs recieves sysfs_init_inode_attrs()'s result, but sd->s_iattr doesn't know the address. so it needs to set correct address to sd->s_iattr to free memory in other function. unreferenced object 0xffff880250b73e60 (size 32): comm "systemd", pid 1, jiffies 4294683888 (age 94.553s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 73 79 73 74 65 6d 5f 75 3a 6f 62 6a 65 63 74 5f system_u:object_ 72 3a 73 79 73 66 73 5f 74 3a 73 30 00 00 00 00 r:sysfs_t:s0.... backtrace: [<ffffffff814cb1d0>] kmemleak_alloc+0x73/0x98 [<ffffffff811270ab>] __kmalloc+0x100/0x12c [<ffffffff8120775a>] context_struct_to_string+0x106/0x210 [<ffffffff81207cc1>] security_sid_to_context_core+0x10b/0x129 [<ffffffff812090ef>] security_sid_to_context+0x10/0x12 [<ffffffff811fb0da>] selinux_inode_getsecurity+0x7d/0xa8 [<ffffffff811fb127>] selinux_inode_getsecctx+0x22/0x2e [<ffffffff811f4d62>] security_inode_getsecctx+0x16/0x18 [<ffffffff81191dad>] sysfs_setxattr+0x96/0x117 [<ffffffff811542f0>] __vfs_setxattr_noperm+0x73/0xd9 [<ffffffff811543d9>] vfs_setxattr+0x83/0xa1 [<ffffffff811544c6>] setxattr+0xcf/0x101 [<ffffffff81154745>] sys_lsetxattr+0x6a/0x8f [<ffffffff814efda9>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff unreferenced object 0xffff88024163c5a0 (size 96): comm "systemd", pid 1, jiffies 4294683888 (age 94.553s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00 00 ed 41 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 .....A.......... 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0c 64 42 4f 00 00 00 00 .........dBO.... backtrace: [<ffffffff814cb1d0>] kmemleak_alloc+0x73/0x98 [<ffffffff81127402>] kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0xc4/0xee [<ffffffff81191cbe>] sysfs_init_inode_attrs+0x2a/0x83 [<ffffffff81191dd6>] sysfs_setxattr+0xbf/0x117 [<ffffffff811542f0>] __vfs_setxattr_noperm+0x73/0xd9 [<ffffffff811543d9>] vfs_setxattr+0x83/0xa1 [<ffffffff811544c6>] setxattr+0xcf/0x101 [<ffffffff81154745>] sys_lsetxattr+0x6a/0x8f [<ffffffff814efda9>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff ` Signed-off-by: NMasami Ichikawa <masami256@gmail.com> Cc: stable <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

Tracking the number of subdirectories requires an extra field that increases the size of sysfs_dirent. nlinks are not particularly interesting for sysfs and the nlink counts are wrong when network namespaces are involved so stop counting them, and always return nlink == 1. Userspace already knows that directories with nlink == 1 have an nlink count they can't use to count subdirectories. This reduces the size of sysfs_dirent by 8 bytes on 64bit platforms.

Recently an OOPS was observed from the usb serial io_ti driver when it tried to remove sysfs directories. Upon investigation it turns out this driver was always buggy and that a recent sysfs change had stopped guarding itself against removing attributes from sysfs directories that had already been removed. :( Historically we have been silent about attempting to files from nonexistent sysfs directories and have politely returned error codes. That has resulted in people writing broken code that ignores the error codes. Issue a kernel WARNING and a stack backtrace to make it clear in no uncertain terms that abusing sysfs is not ok, and the callers need to fix their code. This change transforms the io_ti OOPS into a more comprehensible error message and stack backtrace. Signed-off-by: NEric W.

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.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

The vfs depends upon filesystem methods to update the vfs inode. Sysfs adds to the normal number of places where the vfs inode is updated by also updatng the vfs inode in sysfs_refresh_inode. Typically the inode mutex is used to serialize updates to the vfs inode, but grabbing the inode mutex in sysfs_permission and sysfs_getattr causes deadlocks, because sometimes the vfs calls those operations with the inode mutex held. Therefore sysfs can not use the inode mutex to serial updates to the vfs inode. The sysfs_mutex is acquired in all of the routines where sysfs updates the vfs inode, and with a small change we can consistently protext sysfs vfs inode updates with the sysfs_mutex. To protect the sysfs vfs inode updates with the sysfs_mutex simply requires extending the scope of sysfs_mutex in sysfs_setattr over inode_setattr, and over inode_change_ok (so we have an unchanging inode when we perform the check).

There is currently a bug in sysfs_sd_setattr inherited from sysfs_setattr in 2.6.32 where the first time we set the attributes on a sysfs file we allocate backing store but do not set the backing store attributes. Resulting in overly restrictive permissions on sysfs files. The fix is to simply modify the code so that it always executes when we update the sysfs attributes, as we did in 2.6.31 and earlier.

inode_change_ok already clears the SGID bit when necessary so there is no reason for sysfs_setattr to carry code to do the same, and it is good to kill the extra copy because when I moved the code last in certain corner cases the code will look at the wrong gid.
