* bridge: update sysfs link names if port device names have changedSimon Arlott2010-05-151-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Links for each port are created in sysfs using the device name, but this could be changed after being added to the bridge. As well as being unable to remove interfaces after this occurs (because userspace tools don't recognise the new name, and the kernel won't recognise the old name), adding another interface with the old name to the bridge will cause an error trying to create the sysfs link. This fixes the problem by listening for NETDEV_CHANGENAME notifications and renaming the link. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12743 Signed-off-by: Simon Arlott <simon@fire.lp0.eu> Acked-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-303-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* sysfs: Serialize updates to the vfs inodeEric W. Biederman2010-03-071-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* sysfs: Use one lockdep class per sysfs attribute.Eric W. Biederman2010-03-071-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Acknowledge that the logical sysfs rwsem has one instance per sysfs attribute with different locking depencencies for different attributes. There is a sysfs idiom where writing to one sysfs file causes the addition or removal of other sysfs files. Lumping all of the sysfs attributes together in one lock class causes lockdep to generate lots of false positives. This introduces the requirement that non-static sysfs attributes need to be initialized with sysfs_attr_init or sysfs_bin_attr_init. Strictly speaking this requirement only exists when lockdep is enabled, and when lockdep is enabled we get a bit fat warning if this requirement is not met. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Cache the last sysfs_dirent to improve readdir scalability v2Eric W. Biederman2010-03-071-22/+60
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When sysfs_readdir stops short we now cache the next sysfs_dirent to return to user space in filp->private_data. There is no impact on the rest of sysfs by doing this and in the common case it allows us to pick up exactly where we left off with no seeking. Additionally I drop and regrab the sysfs_mutex around filldir to avoid a page fault abritrarily increasing the hold time on the sysfs_mutex. v2: Returned to using INT_MAX as the EOF condition. seekdir is ambiguous unless all directory entries have a unique f_pos value.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* sysfs: Add lockdep annotations for the sysfs active referenceEric W. Biederman2010-01-042-2/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Holding locks over device_del -> kobject_del -> sysfs_deactivate can cause deadlocks if those same locks are grabbed in sysfs show or store methods. The I model s_active count + completion as a sleeping read/write lock. I describe to lockdep sysfs_get_active as a read_trylock, sysfs_put_active as a read_unlock, and sysfs_deactivate as a write_lock and write_unlock pair. This seems to capture the essence for purposes of finding deadlocks, and in my testing gives finds real issues and ignores non-issues. This brings us back to holding locks over kobject_del is a problem that ideally we should find a way of addressing, but at least lockdep can tell us about the problems instead of requiring developers to debug rare strange system deadlocks, that happen when sysfs files are removed while being written to.

* sysfs: Allow sysfs_notify_dirent to be called from interrupt context.Neil Brown2009-10-141-6/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* | sysfs: Add labeling support for sysfsDavid P. Quigley2009-09-104-37/+112
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a setxattr handler to the file, directory, and symlink inode_operations structures for sysfs. The patch uses hooks introduced in the previous patch to handle the getting and setting of security information for the sysfs inodes. As was suggested by Eric Biederman the struct iattr in the sysfs_dirent structure has been replaced by a structure which contains the iattr, secdata and secdata length to allow the changes to persist in the event that the inode representing the sysfs_dirent is evicted. Because sysfs only stores this information when a change is made all the optional data is moved into one dynamically allocated field. This patch addresses an issue where SELinux was denying virtd access to the PCI configuration entries in sysfs. The lack of setxattr handlers for sysfs required that a single label be assigned to all entries in sysfs. Granting virtd access to every entry in sysfs is not an acceptable solution so fine grained labeling of sysfs is required such that individual entries can be labeled appropriately.

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.

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: only allow one scheduled removal callback per kobjAlex Chiang2009-03-241-3/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
