On some arches (x86, sh, arm, unicore, powerpc) the oops message would
print out the last sysfs file accessed.
This was very useful in finding a number of sysfs and driver core bugs
in the 2.5 and early 2.6 development days, but it has been a number of
years since this file has actually helped in debugging anything that
couldn't also be trivially determined from the stack traceback.
So it's time to delete the line. This is good as we need all the space
we can get for oops messages at times on consoles.

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- sysfs_exit_ns when an individual tag is no longer valid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.

If we exclude directories and symlinks from the set of sysfs
dirents where we need active references we are left with
sysfs attributes (binary or not).
- Tweak sysfs_deactivate to only do something on attributes
- Move lockdep initialization into sysfs_file_add_mode to
limit it to just attributes.

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.

Constify struct sysfs_ops.
This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.
Benefits of this constification:
* prevents modification of data that is shared
(referenced) by many other structure instances
at runtime
* detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
modification attempts on archs that enforce
read-only kernel data at runtime
* potentially better optimized code as the compiler
can assume that the const data cannot be changed
* the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
and therefore exclude them from false sharing

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.

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.

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.

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).

Requiring userspace to close and re-open sysfs attributes has been the
policy since before 2.6.12. It allows userspace to get a consistent
snapshot of kernel state and consume it with incremental reads and seeks.
Now, if the file position is zero the kernel assumes userspace wants to see
the new value. The application for this change is to allow a userspace
RAID metadata handler to check the state of an array without causing any
memory allocations. Thus not causing writeback to a raid array that might
be blocked waiting for userspace to take action.

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 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.

Implement sysfs_open_dirent which represents an open file (attribute)
sysfs_dirent. A file sysfs_dirent with one or more open files have
one sysfs_dirent and all sysfs_buffers (one for each open instance)
are linked to it.
sysfs_open_dirent doesn't actually do anything yet but will be used to
off-load things which are specific for open file sysfs_dirent from it.

In sysfs_release(), sysfs_buffer pointed to by filp->private_data is
guaranteed to exist. Kill the unnecessary NULL check. This also
makes the code more consistent with the counterpart in fs/sysfs/bin.c.

There's no reason to get an extra reference to sysfs_dirent for an
open file. Open file has a reference to the dentry which in turn has
a reference to sysfs_dirent. This is fairly obvious as otherwise open
itself won't be able to access the sysfs_dirent. Kill the extra
sysfs_get() and matching sysfs_put().

sysfs_update_file() depends on inode->i_mtime but sysfs iondes are now
reclaimable making the reported modification time unreliable. There's
only one user (pci hotplug) of this notification mechanism and it
reportedly isn't utilized from userland.
Kill sysfs_update_file().

sysfs_chmod_file() looked and updated only inode of the target file.
Dentry and inode are reclaimable and the update mode data will go away
when the inode is reclaimed. This patch makes sysfs_chmod_file()
update sd->s_mode too such that the change is permanent.

Looking carefully at the rename code we have a subtle dependency
that the structure of sysfs not change while we are performing
a rename. If the parent directory of the object we are renaming
changes while the rename is being performed nasty things could
happen when we go to release our locks.
So introduce a sysfs_rename_mutex to prevent this highly
unlikely theoretical issue.
In addition hold sysfs_rename_mutex over all calls to
sysfs_get_dentry. Allowing sysfs_get_dentry to be simplified
in the future.

When adding or removing a sysfs_dirent, the user used to be required
to call link/unlink separately. It was for two reasons - code looked
like that before sysfs_addrm_cxt conversion and to avoid looping
through parent_sd->children list twice during removal.
Performance optimization during removal just isn't worth it. Make
sysfs_add/remove_one() call sysfs_link/unlink_sibing() implicitly.
This makes code simpler albeit slightly less efficient. This change
doesn't introduce any noticeable behavior change.

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.

This patch makes dentries and inodes for sysfs directories
reclaimable.
* sysfs_notify() is modified to walk sysfs_dirent tree instead of
dentry tree.
* sysfs_update_file() and sysfs_chmod_file() use sysfs_get_dentry() to
grab the victim dentry.
* sysfs_rename_dir() and sysfs_move_dir() grab all dentries using
sysfs_get_dentry() on startup.
* Dentries for all shadowed directories are pinned in memory to serve
as lookup start point.

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.

As kobj sysfs dentries and inodes are gonna be made reclaimable,
i_mutex can't be used to protect sysfs_dirent tree. Use sysfs_mutex
globally instead. As the whole tree is protected with sysfs_mutex,
there is no reason to keep sysfs_rename_sem. Drop it.
While at it, add docbook comments to functions which require
sysfs_mutex locking.

As kobj sysfs dentries and inodes are gonna be made reclaimable,
dentry can't be used as naming token for sysfs file/directory, replace
kobj->dentry with kobj->sd. The only external interface change is
shadow directory handling. All other changes are contained in kobj
and sysfs.
