      configfs: provide exclusion between IO and removals · b0841eef
      Al Viro authored
      Make sure that attribute methods are not called after the item
      has been removed from the tree.  To do so, we
      	* at the point of no return in removals, grab ->frag_sem
      exclusive and mark the fragment dead.
      	* call the methods of attributes with ->frag_sem taken
      shared and only after having verified that the fragment is still
      alive.
      
      	The main benefit is for method instances - they are
      guaranteed that the objects they are accessing *and* all ancestors
      are still there.  Another win is that we don't need to bother
      with extra refcount on config_item when opening a file -
      the item will be alive for as long as it stays in the tree, and
      we won't touch it/attributes/any associated data after it's
      been removed from the tree.

      sched/core: Fix uclamp ABI bug, clean up and robustify sched_read_attr() ABI logic and code · 1251201c
      Ingo Molnar authored
      Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo reported that 'chrt' broke on recent kernels:
      
        $ chrt -p $$
        chrt: failed to get pid 26306's policy: Argument list too long
      
      and he has root-caused the bug to the following commit increasing sched_attr
      size and breaking sched_read_attr() into returning -EFBIG:
      
        a509a7cd ("sched/uclamp: Extend sched_setattr() to support utilization clamping")
      
      The other, bigger bug is that the whole sched_getattr() and sched_read_attr()
      logic of checking non-zero bits in new ABI components is arguably broken,
      and pretty much any extension of the ABI will spuriously break the ABI.
      That's way too fragile.
      
      Instead implement the perf syscall's extensible ABI instead, which we
      already implement on the sched_setattr() side:
      
       - if user-attributes have the same size as kernel attributes then the
         logic is unchanged.
      
       - if user-attributes are larger than the kernel knows about then simply
         skip the extra bits, but set attr->size to the (smaller) kernel size
         so that tooling can (in principle) handle older kernel as well.
      
       - if user-attributes are smaller than the kernel knows about then just
         copy whatever user-space can accept.
      
      Also clean up the whole logic:
      
       - Simplify the code flow - there's no need for 'ret' for example.
      
       - Standardize on 'kattr/uattr' and 'ksize/usize' naming to make sure we
         always know which side we are dealing with.
      
       - Why is it called 'read' when what it does is to copy to user? This
         code is so far away from VFS read() semantics that the naming is
         actively confusing. Name it sched_attr_copy_to_user() instead, which
         mirrors other copy_to_user() functionality.
      
       - Move the attr->size assignment from the head of sched_getattr() to the
         sched_attr_copy_to_user() function. Nothing else within the kernel
         should care about the size of the structure.
      
      With these fixes the sched_getattr() syscall now nicely supports an
      extensible ABI in both a forward and backward compatible fashion, and
      will also fix the chrt bug.
      
      As an added bonus the bogus -EFBIG return is removed as well, which as
      Thadeu noted should have been -E2BIG to begin with.
