Raw Normal View History

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

If it detects an error, printk the file name and call dump_stack(). sysfs_hash_and_remove() now returns an error code indicating its success or failure so that sysfs_remove_bin_file() can know success/failure.

sysfs: don't block indefinitely for unmapped files. Modify sysfs bin files so that we can remove the bin file while they are still mapped. When the kobject is removed we unmap the bin file and arrange for future accesses to the mapping to receive SIGBUS. Implementing this prevents a nasty DOS when pci devices are hot plugged and unplugged. Where if any of their resources were mmaped the kernel could not free up their pci resources or release their pci data structures.

sysfs: implement sysfs_dirent active reference and immediate disconnect sysfs: implement sysfs_dirent active reference and immediate disconnect Opening a sysfs node references its associated kobject, so userland can arbitrarily prolong lifetime of a kobject which complicates lifetime rules in drivers. This patch implements active reference and makes the association between kobject and sysfs immediately breakable. Now each sysfs_dirent has two reference counts - s_count and s_active. s_count is a regular reference count which guarantees that the containing sysfs_dirent is accessible. As long as s_count reference is held, all sysfs internal fields in sysfs_dirent are accessible including s_parent and s_name. The newly added s_active is active reference count. This is acquired by invoking sysfs_get_active() and it's the caller's responsibility to ensure sysfs_dirent itself is accessible (should be holding s_count one way or the other). Dereferencing sysfs_dirent to access objects out of sysfs proper requires active reference. This includes access to the associated kobjects, attributes and ops. The active references can be drained and denied by calling sysfs_deactivate(). All active sysfs_dirents must be deactivated after deletion but before the default reference is dropped. This enables immediate disconnect of sysfs nodes. Once a sysfs_dirent is deleted, it won't access any entity external to sysfs proper. Because attr/bin_attr ops access both the node itself and its parent for kobject, they need to hold active references to both. sysfs_get/put_active_two() helpers are provided to help grabbing both references. Parent's is acquired first and released last. Unlike other operations, mmapped area lingers on after mmap() is finished and the module implement implementing it and kobj need to stay referenced till all the mapped pages are gone. This is accomplished by holding one set of active references to the bin_attr and its parent if there have been any mmap during lifetime of an openfile. The references are dropped when the openfile is released. This change makes sysfs lifetime rules independent from both kobject's and module's. It not only fixes several race conditions caused by sysfs not holding onto the proper module when referencing kobject, but also helps fixing and simplifying lifetime management in driver model and drivers by taking sysfs out of the equation.

sysfs: Remove sysfs_get/put_active_two 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. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

sysfs: fix problems with binary files Some sysfs binary files don't like having 0 passed to them as a size. Fix this up at the root by just returning to the vfs if userspace asks us for a zero sized buffer. Thanks to Pavel Roskin for pointing this out.

sysfs: implement sysfs_dirent active reference and immediate disconnect sysfs: implement sysfs_dirent active reference and immediate disconnect Opening a sysfs node references its associated kobject, so userland can arbitrarily prolong lifetime of a kobject which complicates lifetime rules in drivers. This patch implements active reference and makes the association between kobject and sysfs immediately breakable. Now each sysfs_dirent has two reference counts - s_count and s_active. s_count is a regular reference count which guarantees that the containing sysfs_dirent is accessible. As long as s_count reference is held, all sysfs internal fields in sysfs_dirent are accessible including s_parent and s_name. The newly added s_active is active reference count. This is acquired by invoking sysfs_get_active() and it's the caller's responsibility to ensure sysfs_dirent itself is accessible (should be holding s_count one way or the other). Dereferencing sysfs_dirent to access objects out of sysfs proper requires active reference. This includes access to the associated kobjects, attributes and ops. The active references can be drained and denied by calling sysfs_deactivate(). All active sysfs_dirents must be deactivated after deletion but before the default reference is dropped. This enables immediate disconnect of sysfs nodes. Once a sysfs_dirent is deleted, it won't access any entity external to sysfs proper. Because attr/bin_attr ops access both the node itself and its parent for kobject, they need to hold active references to both. sysfs_get/put_active_two() helpers are provided to help grabbing both references. Parent's is acquired first and released last. Unlike other operations, mmapped area lingers on after mmap() is finished and the module implement implementing it and kobj need to stay referenced till all the mapped pages are gone. This is accomplished by holding one set of active references to the bin_attr and its parent if there have been any mmap during lifetime of an openfile. The references are dropped when the openfile is released. This change makes sysfs lifetime rules independent from both kobject's and module's. It not only fixes several race conditions caused by sysfs not holding onto the proper module when referencing kobject, but also helps fixing and simplifying lifetime management in driver model and drivers by taking sysfs out of the equation.

sysfs: Remove sysfs_get/put_active_two 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. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

sysfs: fix error handling in binattr write() Error handling in fs/sysfs/bin.c:write() was wrong because size_t count is used to receive return value from flush_write() which is negative on failure. This patch updates write() such that int variable is used instead. read() is updated the same way for consistency.

When the kobject is removed we unmap the bin file and arrange for future accesses to the mapping to receive SIGBUS. Implementing this prevents a nasty DOS when pci devices are hot plugged and unplugged. Where if any of their resources were mmaped the kernel could not free up their pci resources or release their pci data structures.

sysfs: Remove sysfs_get/put_active_two 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. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

sysfs: fix some bin_vm_ops errors Commit 86c9508eb1c0ce5aa07b5cf1d36b60c54efc3d7a "sysfs: don't block indefinitely for unmapped files" in linux-next crashes the PowerMac G5 when X starts up. It's caught out by the way powerpc's pci_mmap of legacy_mem uses shmem_zero_setup(), substituting a new vma->vm_file whose private_data no longer points to the bin_buffer (substitution done because some versions of X crash if that mmap fails). The fix to this is straightforward: the original vm_file is fput() in that case, so this mmap won't block sysfs at all, so just don't switch over to bin_vm_ops if vm_file has changed. But more fixes made before realizing that was the problem:- It should not be an error if bin_page_mkwrite() finds no underlying page_mkwrite(). Check that a file already mmap'ed has the same underlying vm_ops _before_ pointing vma->vm_ops at bin_vm_ops. If the file being mmap'ed is a shmem/tmpfs file, don't fail the mmap on CONFIG_NUMA=y, just because that has a set_policy and get_policy: provide bin_set_policy, bin_get_policy and bin_migrate.

It's caught out by the way powerpc's pci_mmap of legacy_mem uses shmem_zero_setup(), substituting a new vma->vm_file whose private_data no longer points to the bin_buffer (substitution done because some versions of X crash if that mmap fails). The fix to this is straightforward: the original vm_file is fput() in that case, so this mmap won't block sysfs at all, so just don't switch over to bin_vm_ops if vm_file has changed. But more fixes made before realizing that was the problem:- It should not be an error if bin_page_mkwrite() finds no underlying page_mkwrite(). Check that a file already mmap'ed has the same underlying vm_ops _before_ pointing vma->vm_ops at bin_vm_ops. If the file being mmap'ed is a shmem/tmpfs file, don't fail the mmap on CONFIG_NUMA=y, just because that has a set_policy and get_policy: provide bin_set_policy, bin_get_policy and bin_migrate.

This is to achieve... * some level of type checking : changing symlink to point to sysfs_dirent instead of kobject is much safer and less painful now. * easier / standardized dereferencing * allow sysfs_elem_* to contain more than one entry Where possible, pointer is obtained by directly deferencing from sd instead of going through other entities. This reduces dependencies to dentry, inode and kobject. to_attr() and to_bin_attr() are unused now and removed. This is in preparation of object reference simplification.

sysfs: implement sysfs_dirent active reference and immediate disconnect sysfs: implement sysfs_dirent active reference and immediate disconnect Opening a sysfs node references its associated kobject, so userland can arbitrarily prolong lifetime of a kobject which complicates lifetime rules in drivers. This patch implements active reference and makes the association between kobject and sysfs immediately breakable. Now each sysfs_dirent has two reference counts - s_count and s_active. s_count is a regular reference count which guarantees that the containing sysfs_dirent is accessible. As long as s_count reference is held, all sysfs internal fields in sysfs_dirent are accessible including s_parent and s_name. The newly added s_active is active reference count. This is acquired by invoking sysfs_get_active() and it's the caller's responsibility to ensure sysfs_dirent itself is accessible (should be holding s_count one way or the other). Dereferencing sysfs_dirent to access objects out of sysfs proper requires active reference. This includes access to the associated kobjects, attributes and ops. The active references can be drained and denied by calling sysfs_deactivate(). All active sysfs_dirents must be deactivated after deletion but before the default reference is dropped. This enables immediate disconnect of sysfs nodes. Once a sysfs_dirent is deleted, it won't access any entity external to sysfs proper. Because attr/bin_attr ops access both the node itself and its parent for kobject, they need to hold active references to both. sysfs_get/put_active_two() helpers are provided to help grabbing both references. Parent's is acquired first and released last. Unlike other operations, mmapped area lingers on after mmap() is finished and the module implement implementing it and kobj need to stay referenced till all the mapped pages are gone. This is accomplished by holding one set of active references to the bin_attr and its parent if there have been any mmap during lifetime of an openfile. The references are dropped when the openfile is released. This change makes sysfs lifetime rules independent from both kobject's and module's. It not only fixes several race conditions caused by sysfs not holding onto the proper module when referencing kobject, but also helps fixing and simplifying lifetime management in driver model and drivers by taking sysfs out of the equation.

sysfs: fix some bin_vm_ops errors Commit 86c9508eb1c0ce5aa07b5cf1d36b60c54efc3d7a "sysfs: don't block indefinitely for unmapped files" in linux-next crashes the PowerMac G5 when X starts up. It's caught out by the way powerpc's pci_mmap of legacy_mem uses shmem_zero_setup(), substituting a new vma->vm_file whose private_data no longer points to the bin_buffer (substitution done because some versions of X crash if that mmap fails). The fix to this is straightforward: the original vm_file is fput() in that case, so this mmap won't block sysfs at all, so just don't switch over to bin_vm_ops if vm_file has changed. But more fixes made before realizing that was the problem:- It should not be an error if bin_page_mkwrite() finds no underlying page_mkwrite(). Check that a file already mmap'ed has the same underlying vm_ops _before_ pointing vma->vm_ops at bin_vm_ops. If the file being mmap'ed is a shmem/tmpfs file, don't fail the mmap on CONFIG_NUMA=y, just because that has a set_policy and get_policy: provide bin_set_policy, bin_get_policy and bin_migrate.

sysfs: make sysfs_dirent->s_element a union Make sd->s_element a union of sysfs_elem_{dir|symlink|attr|bin_attr} and rename it to s_elem. This is to achieve... * some level of type checking : changing symlink to point to sysfs_dirent instead of kobject is much safer and less painful now. * easier / standardized dereferencing * allow sysfs_elem_* to contain more than one entry Where possible, pointer is obtained by directly deferencing from sd instead of going through other entities. This reduces dependencies to dentry, inode and kobject. to_attr() and to_bin_attr() are unused now and removed. This is in preparation of object reference simplification.

sysfs: implement sysfs_dirent active reference and immediate disconnect sysfs: implement sysfs_dirent active reference and immediate disconnect Opening a sysfs node references its associated kobject, so userland can arbitrarily prolong lifetime of a kobject which complicates lifetime rules in drivers. This patch implements active reference and makes the association between kobject and sysfs immediately breakable. Now each sysfs_dirent has two reference counts - s_count and s_active. s_count is a regular reference count which guarantees that the containing sysfs_dirent is accessible. As long as s_count reference is held, all sysfs internal fields in sysfs_dirent are accessible including s_parent and s_name. The newly added s_active is active reference count. This is acquired by invoking sysfs_get_active() and it's the caller's responsibility to ensure sysfs_dirent itself is accessible (should be holding s_count one way or the other). Dereferencing sysfs_dirent to access objects out of sysfs proper requires active reference. This includes access to the associated kobjects, attributes and ops. The active references can be drained and denied by calling sysfs_deactivate(). All active sysfs_dirents must be deactivated after deletion but before the default reference is dropped. This enables immediate disconnect of sysfs nodes. Once a sysfs_dirent is deleted, it won't access any entity external to sysfs proper. Because attr/bin_attr ops access both the node itself and its parent for kobject, they need to hold active references to both. sysfs_get/put_active_two() helpers are provided to help grabbing both references. Parent's is acquired first and released last. Unlike other operations, mmapped area lingers on after mmap() is finished and the module implement implementing it and kobj need to stay referenced till all the mapped pages are gone. This is accomplished by holding one set of active references to the bin_attr and its parent if there have been any mmap during lifetime of an openfile. The references are dropped when the openfile is released. This change makes sysfs lifetime rules independent from both kobject's and module's. It not only fixes several race conditions caused by sysfs not holding onto the proper module when referencing kobject, but also helps fixing and simplifying lifetime management in driver model and drivers by taking sysfs out of the equation.

sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper, so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to accessing removed modules. This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the backing module from being unloaded. For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the following message. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/510293 (tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to merge things properly.)

sysfs: Remove sysfs_get/put_active_two 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. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

sysfs: implement sysfs_dirent active reference and immediate disconnect sysfs: implement sysfs_dirent active reference and immediate disconnect Opening a sysfs node references its associated kobject, so userland can arbitrarily prolong lifetime of a kobject which complicates lifetime rules in drivers. This patch implements active reference and makes the association between kobject and sysfs immediately breakable. Now each sysfs_dirent has two reference counts - s_count and s_active. s_count is a regular reference count which guarantees that the containing sysfs_dirent is accessible. As long as s_count reference is held, all sysfs internal fields in sysfs_dirent are accessible including s_parent and s_name. The newly added s_active is active reference count. This is acquired by invoking sysfs_get_active() and it's the caller's responsibility to ensure sysfs_dirent itself is accessible (should be holding s_count one way or the other). Dereferencing sysfs_dirent to access objects out of sysfs proper requires active reference. This includes access to the associated kobjects, attributes and ops. The active references can be drained and denied by calling sysfs_deactivate(). All active sysfs_dirents must be deactivated after deletion but before the default reference is dropped. This enables immediate disconnect of sysfs nodes. Once a sysfs_dirent is deleted, it won't access any entity external to sysfs proper. Because attr/bin_attr ops access both the node itself and its parent for kobject, they need to hold active references to both. sysfs_get/put_active_two() helpers are provided to help grabbing both references. Parent's is acquired first and released last. Unlike other operations, mmapped area lingers on after mmap() is finished and the module implement implementing it and kobj need to stay referenced till all the mapped pages are gone. This is accomplished by holding one set of active references to the bin_attr and its parent if there have been any mmap during lifetime of an openfile. The references are dropped when the openfile is released. This change makes sysfs lifetime rules independent from both kobject's and module's. It not only fixes several race conditions caused by sysfs not holding onto the proper module when referencing kobject, but also helps fixing and simplifying lifetime management in driver model and drivers by taking sysfs out of the equation.

sysfs: don't block indefinitely for unmapped files. Modify sysfs bin files so that we can remove the bin file while they are still mapped. When the kobject is removed we unmap the bin file and arrange for future accesses to the mapping to receive SIGBUS. Implementing this prevents a nasty DOS when pci devices are hot plugged and unplugged. Where if any of their resources were mmaped the kernel could not free up their pci resources or release their pci data structures.

[PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ const This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/ const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus cache clean) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

sysfs: Implement sysfs tagged directory support. 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.
