When netlink sockets are used to convey data that is in a namespace we need a way to select a subset of the listening sockets to deliver the packet to. For the network namespace we have been doing this by only transmitting packets in the correct network namespace. For data belonging to other namespaces netlink_bradcast_filtered provides a mechanism that allows us to examine the destination socket and to decide if we should transmit the specified packet to it.

I had a couple of stupid bugs in: netns: Teach network device kobjects which namespace they are in. - I duplicated the Kconfig for the NET_NS - The build was broken when sysfs was not compiled in The sysfs breakage is because after I moved the operations for the sysfs to the kobject layer, to make things cleaner I forgot to move the ifdefs. Opps. I'm not quite certain how I got introduced a second NET_NS Kconfig, but it was probably a 3 way merge somewhere along the way that did not notice that the NET_NS Kconfig option had mvoed and thout that was a bug. It probably slipped in because it used to be the sysfs patches were the first patches in my network namespace patches. Some things just don't go like you would expect. Neither of these bugs actually affect anything in the common case but they should be fixed. Thanks to Serge for noticing they were present. Reported-by:

The problem. Network devices show up in sysfs and with the network namespace active multiple devices with the same name can show up in the same directory, ouch! To avoid that problem and allow existing applications in network namespaces to see the same interface that is currently presented in sysfs, this patch enables the tagging directory support in sysfs. By using the network namespace pointers as tags to separate out the the sysfs directory entries we ensure that we don't have conflicts in the directories and applications only see a limited set of the network devices.

The PCI config space bin_attr read handler has a hardcoded CAP_SYS_ADMIN check to verify privileges before allowing a user to read device dependent config space. This is meant to protect from an unprivileged user potentially locking up the box. When assigning a PCI device directly to a guest with libvirt and KVM, the sysfs config space file is chown'd to the unprivileged user that the KVM guest will run as. The guest needs to have full access to the device's config space since it's responsible for driving the device. However, despite being the owner of the sysfs file, the CAP_SYS_ADMIN check will not allow read access beyond the config header. With this patch we check privileges against the capabilities used when openining the sysfs file. The allows a privileged process to open the file and hand it to an unprivileged process, and the unprivileged process can still read all of the config space. Signed-off-by:

In Al's latest vfs tree the code is reworked and S_BIAS has been removed. It turns out that checking to see if a super block is in the middle of an unmount in sysfs_exit_ns is unnecessary because we remove the super_block from the s_supers/s_instances list before struct sysfs_super_info pointed to by sb->s_fs_info is freed. For now just delete the unnecessary check to see if a superblock is in the middle of an unmount, it isn't necessary with or without Al's changes and it just causes a needless conflict. Reported-by:

The first three paragraphs are almost verbatim taken from Eric's commit message on the patch introducing network ns tags. The next two paragraphs I wrote to be a brief high level overview. The last section is taken from the commit message on "Implement sysfs tagged directory support", but updated. Hopefully correctly. Signed-off-by:

Add some in-line comments to explain the new infrastructure, which was introduced to support sysfs directory tagging with namespaces. I think an overall description someplace might be good too, but it didn't really seem to fit into Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt, which appears more geared toward users, rather than maintainers, of sysfs. (Tejun, please let me know if I can make anything clearer or failed altogether to comment something that should be commented.) Signed-off-by:

When removing a symlink sysfs_remove_link does not provide enough information to figure out which tagged directory the symlink falls in. So I need sysfs_delete_link which is passed the target of the symlink to delete. sysfs_rename_link is updated to call sysfs_delete_link instead of sysfs_remove_link as we have all of the information necessary and the callers are interesting. Both of these functions now have enough information to find a symlink in a tagged directory. The only restriction is that they must be called before the target kobject is renamed or deleted. If they are called later I loose track of which tag the target kobject was marked with and can no longer find the old symlink to remove it. This patch was split from an earlier patch. Signed-off-by:

I had hopped to avoid this but the bonding driver adds a file to /sys/class/net/ and the easiest way to handle that file is to make it untagged and to register it only once. So relax the rules on tagged directories, and make bonding work. Signed-off-by:

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.

Recent udev versions probe loop devices for filesystems meaning that the /dev/disk hierarchy may contain useful entries such as $ ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/Fedora-12-x86_64-Live lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Mar 11 13:41 /dev/disk/by-label/Fedora-12-x86_64-Live -> ../../loop0 Unfortunately, no "change" uevent is generated when the loop device is detached so the symlink persists. Additionally, no "change" uevent is guaranteed to be generated when attaching an fd or changing capacity. For example, user space could open the loop device O_RDONLY (in fact, recent util-linux-ng does this) so udev's OPTIONS+="watch" machinery may not trigger the "change" uevent. This patch ensures that the "change" uevent is generated in all of these cases. As a result, the /dev/disk hierarchy works as expected for loop devices. Signed-off-by:

While device_shutdown() walks through devices_kset to shutdown all devices, device unplug events may race to shutdown individual devices. Specifically, sd_shutdown(), on behalf of fc_starget_delete(), has been observed deleting devices during device_shutdown()'s list traversal. So we factor out list_for_each_entry_safe_reverse(...) in favor of while (!list_empty(...)). Signed-off-by:

When we use request_firmware_nowait(), userspace may not want to answer negatively right away when for example it is answering from an initrd only, but with request_firmware() it has to in order to not delay the kernel boot until the request times out. This allows userspace to differentiate between the two in order to be able to reply negatively to async requests only when all filesystems have been mounted and have been checked for the requested firmware file.

This patch (as1351) removes an unnecessary and unwanted assignment from device_initialize(). The wakeup flags are set to 0 along with everything else when the device structure is allocated, so we don't need to do it again.
