2012-04-10sysfs: handle 'parent deleted before child added'Dan Williams1-0/+3
In scsi at least two cases of the parent device being deleted before the child is added have been observed. 1/ scsi is performing async scans and the device is removed prior to the async can thread running (can happen with an in-opportune / unlikely unplug during initial scan). 2/ libsas discovery event running after the parent port has been torn down (this is a bug in libsas). Result in crash signatures like: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000098 IP: [<ffffffff8115e100>] sysfs_create_dir+0x32/0xb6 ...

2012-02-24sysfs: Fix memory leak in sysfs_sd_setsecdata().Masami Ichikawa1-5/+6
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: Masami Ichikawa <masami256@gmail.com> Cc: stable <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

2012-01-24sysfs: Kill nlink counting.Eric W. Biederman3-10/+0
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.

Compute a 31 bit hash of directory entries (that can fit in a signed 32bit off_t) and index the sysfs directory entries by that hash, replacing the per directory indexes by name and by inode. Because we now only use a single rbtree this reduces the size of sysfs_dirent by 2 pointers. Because we have fewer cases to deal with the code is now simpler. For now I use the simple hash that the dcache uses as that is easy to use and seems simple enough. In addition to makeing the code simpler using a hash for the file position in readdir brings sysfs in line with other filesystems that have non-trivial directory structures. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2012-01-24sysfs: Complain bitterly about attempts to remove files from nonexistent ↵Eric W. Biederman2-1/+10
directories. 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: Eric W.

2011-11-01sysfs: Make sysfs_rename safe with sysfs_dirents in rbtrees.Eric W. Biederman1-8/+6
In sysfs_rename we need to remove the optimization of not calling sysfs_unlink_sibling and sysfs_link_sibling if the renamed parent directory is not changing. This optimization is no longer valid now that sysfs dirents are stored in an rbtree sorted by name. Move the assignment of s_ns before the call of sysfs_link_sibling. With no sysfs_dirent fields changing after the call of sysfs_link_sibling this allows sysfs_link_sibling to take any of the directory entries into account when it builds the rbtrees, and s_ns looks like a prime canidate to be used in the rbtree in the future.

2011-10-25sysfs: Remove support for tagged directories with untagged members (again)Eric W. Biederman1-4/+4
In commit 8a9ea3237e7e ("Merge git://.../davem/net-next") where my sysfs changes from the net tree merged with the sysfs rbtree changes from Mickulas Patocka the conflict resolution failed to preserve the simplified property that was the point of my changes. That is sysfs_find_dirent can now say something is a match if and only s_name and s_ns match what we are looking for, and sysfs_readdir can simply return all of the directory entries where s_ns matches the directory that we should be returning. Now that we are back to exact matches we can tweak sysfs_find_dirent and the name rb_tree to order sysfs_dirents by s_ns s_name and remove the second loop in sysfs_find_dirent.

2011-10-19sysfs: Reject with a warning invalid uses of tagged directories.Eric W. Biederman2-3/+14
sysfs is a core piece of ifrastructure that many people use and few people have all of the rules in their head on how to use it correctly. Add warnings for people using tagged directories improperly to that any misuses can be caught and diagnosed quickly. A single inexpensive test in sysfs_find_dirent is almost sufficient to catch all possible misuses. An additional warning is needed in sysfs_add_dirent so that we actually fail when attempting to add an untagged dirent in a tagged directory. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2011-10-19sysfs: Implement support for tagged files in sysfs.Eric W. Biederman1-2/+51
Looking up files in sysfs is hard to understand and analyize because we currently allow placing untagged files in tagged directories. In the implementation of that we have two subtly different meanings of NULL. NULL meaning there is no tag on a directory entry and NULL meaning we don't care which namespace the lookup is performed for. This multiple uses of NULL have resulted in subtle bugs (since fixed) in the code. Currently it is only the bonding driver that needs to have an untagged file in a tagged directory. To untagle this mess I am adding support for tagged files to sysfs. Modifying the bonding driver to implement bonding_masters as a tagged file. Registering bonding_masters once for each network namespace. Then I am removing support for untagged entries in tagged sysfs directories. Resulting in code that is much easier to reason about.

2011-06-12Delay struct net freeing while there's a sysfs instance refering to itAl Viro2-27/+12
* new refcount in struct net, controlling actual freeing of the memory * new method in kobj_ns_type_operations (->drop_ns()) * ->current_ns() semantics change - it's supposed to be followed by corresponding ->drop_ns(). For struct net in case of CONFIG_NET_NS it bumps the new refcount; net_drop_ns() decrements it and calls net_free() if the last reference has been dropped. Method renamed to ->grab_current_ns(). * old net_free() callers call net_drop_ns() instead. * sysfs_exit_ns() is gone, along with a large part of callchain leading to it; now that the references stored in ->ns[...] stay valid we do not need to hunt them down and replace them with NULL. That fixes problems in sysfs_lookup() and sysfs_readdir(), along with getting rid of sb->s_instances abuse. Note that struct net *shutdown* logics has not changed - net_cleanup() is called exactly when it used to be called. The only thing postponed by having a sysfs instance refering to that struct net is actual freeing of memory occupied by struct net. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2011-05-13sysfs: remove "last sysfs file:" line from the oops messagesGreg Kroah-Hartman1-12/+0
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.

2011-01-20kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERTDavid Rientjes1-1/+1
The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.

2011-01-07fs: dcache reduce branches in lookup pathNick Piggin1-1/+1
Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry flags to indicate common d_ops are set, rather than having to check them. This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup situations, and saves another pointer load and branch in cases where we have d_op but not the particular operation. Patched with: git grep -E '[.>]([[:space:]])*d_op([[:space:]])*=' | xargs sed -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)->d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\1, \2);/' -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)\.d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\&\1, \2);/' -i Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
2011-01-07fs: change d_delete semanticsNick Piggin1-1/+1
Change d_delete from a dentry deletion notification to a dentry caching advise, more like ->drop_inode. Require it to be constant and idempotent, and not take d_lock. This is how all existing filesystems use the callback anyway. This makes fine grained dentry locking of dput and dentry lru scanning much simpler. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
2010-11-29sysfs: remove useless test from sysfs_merge_groupAlan Stern1-8/+2
Dan Carpenter pointed out that the new sysfs_merge_group() and sysfs_unmerge_group() routines requires their grp argument to be non-NULL, because they dereference grp to obtain the list of attributes. Hence it's pointless for the routines to include a test and special-case handling for when grp is NULL. This patch (as1433) removes the unneeded tests.

2010-10-22sysfs: only access bin file vm_ops with the active lockEric W. Biederman1-16/+26
bb->vm_ops is a cached copy of the vm_ops of the underlying sysfs bin file, which means that after sysfs_bin_remove_file completes it is only longer valid to deference bb->vm_ops. So move all of the tests of bb->vm_ops inside of where we hold the sysfs active lock. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2010-10-22sysfs: Fail bin file mmap if vma close is implemented.Eric W. Biederman1-18/+8
It is not reasonably possible to wrap vma->close(). To correctly wrap close would imply calling close on any vmas that remain when sysfs_remove_bin_file is called. Finding the proper lists walking them getting the locking right etc, requires deep knowledge of the mm subsystem and as such would require assistence from the mm subsystem to implement. That assistence does not currently exist. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
