2007-07-11sysfs: slim down sysfs_dirent->s_activeTejun Heo2-37/+50
Make sysfs_dirent->s_active an atomic_t instead of rwsem. This reduces the size of sysfs_dirent from 136 to 104 on 64bit and from 76 to 60 on 32bit with lock debugging turned off. With lock debugging turned on the reduction is much larger. s_active starts at zero and each active reference increments s_active. Putting a reference decrements s_active. Deactivation subtracts SD_DEACTIVATED_BIAS which is currently INT_MIN and assumed to be small enough to make s_active negative. If s_active is negative, sysfs_get() no longer grants new references. Deactivation succeeds immediately if there is no active user; otherwise, it waits using a completion for the last put. Due to the removal of lockdep tricks, this change makes things less trickier in release_sysfs_dirent(). As all the complexity is contained in three s_active functions, I think it's more readable this way. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2007-07-11sysfs: use iget_locked() instead of new_inode()Tejun Heo3-26/+37
After dentry is reclaimed, sysfs always used to allocate new dentry and inode if the file is accessed again. This causes problem with operations which only pin the inode. For example, if inotify watch is added to a sysfs file and the dentry for the file is reclaimed, the next update event creates new dentry and new inode making the inotify watch miss all the events from there on. This patch fixes it by using iget_locked() instead of new_inode(). sysfs_new_inode() is renamed to sysfs_get_inode() and inode is initialized iff the inode is newly allocated. sysfs_instantiate() is responsible for unlocking new inodes.

Reorganize/clean up sysfs_new_inode() and sysfs_create(). * sysfs_init_inode() is separated out from sysfs_new_inode() and is responsible for basic initialization. * sysfs_instantiate() replaces the last step of sysfs_create() and is responsible for dentry instantitaion. * type-specific initialization is moved out to the callers. * mode is specified only once when creating a sysfs_dirent. * spurious list_del_init(&sd->s_sibling) dropped from create_dir() This change is to * prepare for inode allocation fix. * separate alloc and init code for synchronization update. * make dentry/inode initialization more flexible for later changes.

2007-07-11sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->ownerTejun Heo5-34/+10
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.)

2007-07-11sysfs: reimplement sysfs_drop_dentry()Tejun Heo3-35/+67
This patch reimplements sysfs_drop_dentry() such that remove_dir() can use it to drop dentry instead of using a separate mechanism. With this change, making directories reclaimable is much easier. This patch used to contain fixes for two race conditions around sd->s_dentry but that part has been separated out and included into mainline early as commit 6aa054aadfea613a437ad0b15d38eca2b963fc0a and dd14cbc994709a1c5a64ed3621f583c49a27e521.

2007-07-11sysfs: implement sysfs_dirent active reference and immediate disconnectTejun Heo5-113/+271
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.

2007-07-11sysfs: reimplement symlink using sysfs_dirent treeTejun Heo3-46/+53
sysfs symlink is implemented by referencing dentry and kobject from sysfs_dirent - symlink entry references kobject, dentry is used to walk the tree. This complicates object lifetimes rules and is dangerous - for example, there is no way to tell to which module the target of a symlink belongs and referencing that kobject can make it linger after the module is gone. This patch reimplements symlink using only sysfs_dirent tree. sd for a symlink points and holds reference to the target sysfs_dirent and all walking is done using sysfs_dirent tree. Simpler and safer.

2007-07-11sysfs: implement kobj_sysfs_assoc_lockTejun Heo2-1/+8
kobj->dentry can go away anytime unless the user controls when the associated sysfs node is deleted. This patch implements kobj_sysfs_assoc_lock which protects kobj->dentry. This will be used to maintain kobj based API when converting sysfs to use sysfs_dirent tree instead of dentry/kobject. Note that this lock belongs to kobject/driver-model not sysfs. Once sysfs is converted to not use kobject in its interface, this can be removed from sysfs. This is in preparation of object reference simplification.

2007-07-11sysfs: make sysfs_dirent->s_element a unionTejun Heo7-79/+71
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.

2007-07-11sysfs: add sysfs_dirent->s_nameTejun Heo5-67/+50
Add s_name to sysfs_dirent. This is to further reduce dependency to the associated dentry. Name is copied for directories and symlinks but not for attributes. Where possible, name dereferences are converted to use sd->s_name. sysfs_symlink->link_name and sysfs_get_name() are unused now and removed. This change allows symlink to be implemented using sysfs_dirent tree proper, which is the last remaining dentry-dependent sysfs walk.

2007-07-11sysfs: add sysfs_dirent->s_parentTejun Heo3-7/+25
Add sysfs_dirent->s_parent. With this patch, each sd points to and holds a reference to its parent. This allows walking sysfs tree without referencing sd->s_dentry which can go away anytime if the user doesn't control when it's deleted. sd->s_parent is initialized and parent is referenced in sysfs_attach_dirent(). Reference to parent is released when the sd is released, so as long as reference to a sd is held, s_parent can be followed. dentry walk in sysfs_readdir() is convereted to s_parent walk. This will be used to reimplement symlink such that it uses only sysfs_dirent tree. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2007-07-11sysfs: consolidate sysfs_dirent creation functionsTejun Heo4-67/+50
Currently there are four functions to create sysfs_dirent - __sysfs_new_dirent(), sysfs_new_dirent(), __sysfs_make_dirent() and sysfs_make_dirent(). Other than sysfs_make_dirent(), no function has two users if calls to implement other functions are excluded. This patch consolidates sysfs_dirent creation functions into the following two. * sysfs_new_dirent() : allocate and initialize * sysfs_attach_dirent() : attach to sysfs_dirent hierarchy and/or associate with dentry This simplifies interface and gives callers more flexibility.

2007-07-10Make common helpers for seq_files that work with list_headsPavel Emelianov1-0/+34
Many places in kernel use seq_file API to iterate over a regular list_head. The code for such iteration is identical in all the places, so it's worth introducing a common helpers. This makes code about 300 lines smaller: The first version of this patch made the helper functions static inline in the seq_file.h header. This patch moves them to the fs/seq_file.c as Andrew proposed. The vmlinux .text section sizes are as follows: 2.6.22-rc1-mm1: 0x001794d5 with the previous version: 0x00179505 with this patch: 0x00179135 The config file used was make allnoconfig with the "y" inclusion of all the possible options to make the files modified by the patch compile plus drivers I have on the test node.

2007-07-10xip sendfile removalCarsten Otte1-1/+0
This patch removes xip_file_sendfile, the sendfile implementation for xip without replacement. Those customers that use xip on s390 are not using sendfile() as far as we know, and so far s390 is the only platform this could potentially be used on so far. Having sendfile is not a popular feature for execute in place file systems, however we have a working implementation of splice_read() based on fs/splice.c if anyone asks for it. At this point in time, it does not seem preferable to merge splice_read() for xip because it causes extra maintenence effort due to code duplication and it requires struct page behind the xip memory segment. We'd like to get rid of that in favor of supporting flash based embedded platforms (Monta Vista work) soon.
