With CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y, removing and immediately reloading the dmi-sysfs module causes the following warning: sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/firmware/dmi' kobject_add_internal failed for dmi with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory. The "dmi" directory stays in sysfs until the dmi_kobj is released, and DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE delays that. I don't think we can hit this problem in normal usage because dmi_kobj is static and nothing outside dmi-sysfs can get a reference to it, so the only way to delay the "dmi" release is with DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE.

Removing the dmi-sysfs module causes the following warning: # modprobe -r dmi_sysfs WARNING: CPU: 11 PID: 6785 at fs/sysfs/inode.c:325 sysfs_hash_and_remove+0xa9/0xb0() sysfs: can not remove 'raw', no directory This is because putting the entry kobject, e.g., for "/sys/firmware/dmi/entries/19-0", removes the directory and all its contents. By the time dmi_sysfs_entry_release() runs, the "raw" file inside ".../19-0/" has already been removed. Therefore, we don't need to remove the "raw" bin file at all in dmi_sysfs_entry_release().

The commit [3e358ac2: firmware: Be a bit more verbose about direct firmware loading failure] introduced a new warning message about falling back to user helper, but this isn't true when CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER isn't set. In this patch, clear the FW_OPT_FALLBACK flag in the case without userhelper, so that the corresponding code will be disabled.

More than two boolean arguments to a function are rather confusing and error-prone for callers. Let's make the behavior bit flags instead of triple combos. A nice suggestion by Borislav Petkov.

Use the new helper, request_firmware_direct(), for avoiding the lengthy timeout of non-existing firmware loads. Especially the Intel microcode driver suffers from this problem because each CPU triggers the f/w loading, thus it ends up taking (literally) hours with many cores.

When CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER is set, request_firmware() falls back to the usermode helper for loading via udev when the direct loading fails. But the recent udev takes way too long timeout (60 seconds) for non-existing firmware. This is unacceptable for the drivers like microcode loader where they load firmwares optionally, i.e. it's no error even if no requested file exists. This patch provides a new helper function, request_firmware_direct(). It behaves as same as request_firmware() except for that it doesn't fall back to usermode helper but returns an error immediately if the f/w can't be loaded directly in kernel. Without CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y, request_firmware_direct() is just an alias of request_firmware(), due to obvious reason.

There's no "unlink from sysfs" interface for ksets, so I think callers of kset_unregister() expect the kset to be removed from sysfs immediately, without waiting for the last reference to be released. This patch makes the sysfs removal happen immediately, so the caller may create a new kset with the same name as soon as kset_unregister() returns. Without this, every caller has to call "kobject_del(&kset->kobj)" first unless it knows it will never create a new kset with the same name. This sometimes shows up on module unload and reload, where the reload fails because it tries to create a kobject with the same name as one from the original load that still exists. CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y makes this problem easier to hit. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

kernfs inherited "security.*" xattr support from sysfs. This patch extends xattr support to "trusted.*" using simple_xattr_*(). As trusted xattrs are restricted to CAP_SYS_ADMIN, simple_xattr_*() which uses kernel memory for storage shouldn't be problematic. Note that the existing "security.*" support doesn't implement get/remove/list and the this patch only implements those ops for "trusted.*". We probably want to extend those ops to include support for "security.*". This patch will allow using kernfs from cgroup which requires "trusted.*" xattr support.

sysfs_init_inode_attrs() is a bit clumsy to use requiring the caller to check whether @sd->s_iattr is already set or not. Rename it to sysfs_inode_attrs(), update it to check whether @sd->s_iattr is already initialized before trying to initialize it and return @sd->s_iattr. This simplifies the callers. While at it, * Rename struct sysfs_inode_attrs pointer variables to "attrs". As kernfs no longer deals with "struct attribute", this isn't confusing and makes it easier to distinguish from struct iattr pointers. * A new field will be added to sysfs_inode_attrs. Reindent in preparation. This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

fs/kernfs/kernfs-internal.h needed to include fs/sysfs/sysfs.h because part of kernfs core implementation was living in sysfs. fs/sysfs/sysfs.h needed to include fs/kernfs/kernfs-internal.h because include/linux/kernfs.h didn't expose enough interface.

sysfs_dirent includes some information which should be available to kernfs users - the type, flags, name and parent pointer. This patch moves sysfs_dirent definition from kernfs/kernfs-internal.h to include/linux/kernfs.h so that kernfs users can access them. The type part of flags is exported as enum kernfs_node_type, the flags kernfs_node_flag, sysfs_type() and kernfs_enable_ns() are moved to include/linux/kernfs.h and the former is updated to return the enum type. sysfs_dirent->s_parent and ->s_name are marked explicitly as public. This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes. v2: Flags exported too and kernfs_enable_ns() definition moved. v3: While moving kernfs_enable_ns() to include/linux/kernfs.h, v1 and v2 put the definition outside CONFIG_SYSFS replacing the dummy implementation with the actual implementation too. Unfortunately, this can lead to oops when !CONFIG_SYSFS because kernfs_enable_ns() may be called on a NULL @sd and now tries to dereference @sd instead of not doing anything.

We're in the process of separating out core sysfs functionality into kernfs which will deal with sysfs_dirents directly. This patch rearranges mount path so that the kernfs and sysfs parts are separate. * As sysfs_super_info won't be visible outside kernfs proper, kernfs_super_ns() is added to allow kernfs users to access a super_block's namespace tag. * Generic mount operation is separated out into kernfs_mount_ns(). sysfs_mount() now just performs sysfs-specific permission check, acquires namespace tag, and invokes kernfs_mount_ns(). * Generic superblock release is separated out into kernfs_kill_sb() which can be used directly as file_system_type->kill_sb(). As sysfs needs to put the namespace tag, sysfs_kill_sb() wraps kernfs_kill_sb() with ns tag put. * sysfs_dir_cachep init and sysfs_inode_init() are separated out into kernfs_init(). kernfs_init() uses only small amount of memory and trying to handle and propagate kernfs_init() failure doesn't make much sense. Use SLAB_PANIC for sysfs_dir_cachep and make sysfs_inode_init() panic on failure. After this change, kernfs_init() should be called before sysfs_init(), fs/namespace.c::mnt_init() modified accordingly.

kernfs is being updated to allow multiple sysfs_dirent hierarchies so that it can also be used by other users. Currently, sysfs super_blocks are always attached to one kernfs_root - sysfs_root - and distinguished only by their namespace tags. This patch adds sysfs_super_info->root and update sysfs_fill/test_super() so that super_blocks are identified by the combination of both the associated kernfs_root and namespace tag. This allows mounting different kernfs hierarchies. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

kernfs is being updated to allow multiple sysfs_dirent hierarchies so that it can also be used by other users. Currently, inode number is allocated using a global ida, sysfs_ino_ida; however, inos for different hierarchies should be handled separately. This patch makes ino allocation per kernfs_root. sysfs_ino_ida is replaced by kernfs_root->ino_ida and sysfs_new_dirent() is updated to take @root and allocate ino from it. ida_simple_get/remove() are used instead of sysfs_ino_lock and sysfs_alloc/free_ino().

There currently is single kernfs hierarchy in the whole system which is used for sysfs. kernfs needs to support multiple hierarchies to allow other users. This patch introduces struct kernfs_root which serves as the root of each kernfs hierarchy and implements kernfs_create/destroy_root(). * Each kernfs_root is associated with a root sd (sysfs_dentry). The root is freed when the root sd is released and kernfs_destory_root() simply invokes kernfs_remove() on the root sd. sysfs_remove_one() is updated to handle release of the root sd. Note that ps_iattr update in sysfs_remove_one() is trivially updated for readability. * Root sd's are now dynamically allocated using sysfs_new_dirent(). Update sysfs_alloc_ino() so that it gives out ino from 1 so that the root sd still gets ino 1. * While kernfs currently only points to the root sd, it'll soon grow fields which are specific to each hierarchy. As determining a given sd's root will be necessary, sd->s_dir.root is added. This backlink fits better as a separate field in sd; however, sd->s_dir is inside union with space to spare, so use it to save space and provide kernfs_root() accessor to determine the root sd. * As hierarchies may be destroyed now, each mount needs to hold onto the hierarchy it's attached to. Update sysfs_fill_super() and sysfs_kill_sb() so that they get and put the kernfs_root respectively. * sysfs_root is replaced with kernfs_root which is dynamically created by invoking kernfs_create_root() from sysfs_init(). This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes. v2: kernfs_create_root() forgot to set @sd->priv. Fixed.

It has been very long since sysfs depended on vfs to keep track of internal states and whether sysfs is mounted or not doesn't make any difference to sysfs's internal operation.

Currently, sysfs_dirent active_ref lockdep annotation uses attribute->[s]key as the lockdep key, which forces kernfs_create_file_ns() to assume that sysfs_dirent->priv is pointing to a struct attribute which may not be true for non-sysfs users. This patch restructures the lockdep annotation such that * kernfs_ops contains lockdep_key which is used by default for files created kernfs_create_file_ns(). * kernfs_create_file_ns_key() is introduced which takes an extra @key argument. The created file will use the specified key for active_ref lockdep annotation. If NULL is specified, lockdep for the file is disabled. * sysfs_add_file_mode_ns() is updated to use kernfs_create_file_ns_key() with the appropriate key from the attribute or NULL if ignore_lockdep is set.

sysfs sets the size of regular files unconditionally at PAGE_SIZE and takes the size of bin files from bin_attribute. The latter is a pretty bad interface which forces bin_attribute users to create a separate copy of bin_attribute for each instance of the file - e.g. pci resource files. Add sysfs_dirent->s_attr.size so that the size can be specified separately. This unifies inode init paths of ATTR and BIN_ATTR identical and allows for generic size handling for kernfs.

We're in the process of separating out core sysfs functionality into kernfs which will deal with sysfs_dirents directly. This patch introduces kernfs_ops which hosts methods kernfs users implement and updates fs/sysfs/file.c such that sysfs_kf_*() functions populate kernfs_ops and kernfs_file_*() functions call the matching entries from kernfs_ops. kernfs_ops contains the following groups of methods. * seq_show() - for kernfs files which use seq_file for reads. * read() - for direct read implementations. Used iff seq_show() is not implemented. * write() - for writes. * mmap() - for mmaps. Notes: * sysfs_elem_attr->ops is added so that kernfs_ops can be accessed from sysfs_dirent. kernfs_ops() helper is added to verify locking and access the field. * SYSFS_FLAG_HAS_(SEQ_SHOW|MMAP) added. sd->s_attr->ops is accessible only while holding active_ref and there are cases where we want to take different actions depending on which ops are implemented. These two flags cache whether the two ops are implemented for those. * kernfs_file_*() no longer test sysfs type but chooses different behaviors depending on which methods in kernfs_ops are implemented. The conversions are trivial except for the open path. As kernfs_file_open() now decides whether to allow read/write accesses depending on the kernfs_ops implemented, the presence of methods in kobjs and attribute_bin should be propagated to kernfs_ops. sysfs_add_file_mode_ns() is updated so that it propagates presence / absence of the callbacks through _empty, _ro, _wo, _rw kernfs_ops.
