kernfs: implement kernfs_get_parent(), kernfs_name/path() and friends
kernfs_node->parent and ->name are currently marked as "published" indicating that kernfs users may access them directly; however, those fields may get updated by kernfs_rename[_ns]() and unrestricted access may lead to erroneous values or oops. Protect ->parent and ->name updates with a irq-safe spinlock kernfs_rename_lock and implement the following accessors for these fields. * kernfs_name() - format the node's name into the specified buffer * kernfs_path() - format the node's path into the specified buffer * pr_cont_kernfs_name() - pr_cont a node's name (doesn't need buffer) * pr_cont_kernfs_path() - pr_cont a node's path (doesn't need buffer) * kernfs_get_parent() - pin and return a node's parent All can be called under any context. The recursive sysfs_pathname() in fs/sysfs/dir.c is replaced with kernfs_path() and sysfs_rename_dir_ns() is updated to use kernfs_get_parent() instead of dereferencing parent directly. v2: Dummy definition of kernfs_path() for !CONFIG_KERNFS was missing static inline making it cause a lot of build warnings. Add it. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
