      sysfs, kernfs: introduce kernfs_ops · f6acf8bb
      Tejun Heo authored
      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.

      sysfs, kernfs: move sysfs_open_file to include/linux/kernfs.h · dd8a5b03
      Tejun Heo authored
      sysfs_open_file will be used as the primary handle for kernfs methods.
      Move its definition from fs/sysfs/file.c to include/linux/kernfs.h and
      mark the public and private fields.
      
      This is pure relocation.

      sysfs, kernfs: prepare open, release, poll paths for kernfs · c6fb4495
      Tejun Heo authored
      We're in the process of separating out core sysfs functionality into
      kernfs which will deal with sysfs_dirents directly.  This patch
      prepares the rest - open, release and poll.  There isn't much to do.
      Just renaming is enough.  As sysfs_file_operations and
      sysfs_bin_operations are identical now, use the same file_operations
      for both - kernfs_file_operations.
      
      This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes.

      Tejun Heo authored
      We're in the process of separating out core sysfs functionality into
      kernfs which will deal with sysfs_dirents directly.  This patch
      rearranges mmap path so that the kernfs and sysfs parts are separate.
      
      sysfs_kf_bin_mmap() which handles the interaction with bin_attribute
      mmap method is factored out of sysfs_bin_mmap(), which is renamed to
      kernfs_file_mmap().  All vma ops are renamed accordingly.
      
      sysfs_bin_mmap() is updated such that it can be used for both file
      types.  This will eventually allow using the same file_operations for
      both file types, which is necessary to separate out kernfs.

      Tejun Heo authored
      We're in the process of separating out core sysfs functionality into
      kernfs which will deal with sysfs_dirents directly.  This patch
      rearranges read path so that the kernfs and sysfs parts are separate.
      
      * Regular file read path is refactored such that
        kernfs_seq_start/next/stop/show() handle all the boilerplate work
        including locking and updating event count for poll, while
        sysfs_kf_seq_show() deals with interaction with kobj show method.
      
      * Bin file read path is refactored such that kernfs_file_direct_read()
        handles all the boilerplate work including buffer management and
        locking, while sysfs_kf_bin_read() deals with interaction with
        bin_attribute read method.
      
      kernfs_file_read() is added.  It invokes either the seq_file or direct
      read path depending on the file type.  This will eventually allow

      to separate out kernfs.
      
      While this patch changes the order of some operations, it shouldn't
      change any visible behavior.
      
      v2: Dropped unnecessary zeroing of @count from sysfs_kf_seq_show().
          Add comments explaining single_open() behavior.  Both suggested by
          Pavel.
      
      v3: seq_stop() is called even after seq_start() failed.
          kernfs_seq_start() updated so that it doesn't unlock
          sysfs_open_file->mutex on failure so that kernfs_seq_stop()
          doesn't try to unlock an already unlocked mutex.  Reported by
          Fengguang.

      sysfs, kernfs: introduce kernfs_create_dir[_ns]() · 93b2b8e4
      Tejun Heo authored
      Introduce kernfs interface to manipulate a directory which takes and
      returns sysfs_dirents.
      
      create_dir() is renamed to kernfs_create_dir_ns() and its argumantes
      and return value are updated.  create_dir() usages are replaced with
      kernfs_create_dir_ns() and sysfs_create_subdir() usages are replaced
      with kernfs_create_dir().  Dup warnings are handled explicitly by
      sysfs users of the kernfs interface.
      
      sysfs_enable_ns() is renamed to kernfs_enable_ns().
      
      This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes.
      
      v2: Dummy implementation for !CONFIG_SYSFS updated to return -ENOSYS.

      sysfs, kernfs: replace sysfs_dirent->s_dir.kobj and ->s_attr.[bin_]attr with ->priv · 7c6e2d36
      Tejun Heo authored
      A directory sysfs_dirent points to the associated kobj.  A regular or
      bin file points to the associated [bin_]attribute.  This patch
      replaces sysfs_dirent->s_dir.kobj and ->s_attr.[bin_]attr with void *
      ->priv.
      
      This is to prepare for kernfs interface so that sysfs can specify the
      private data in the same way for directories and files.  This lower
      debuggability but not by much - the whole thing was overlaid in a
      union anyway.  If debuggability becomes an issue, we can later add
      ->priv accessors which explicitly check for the sysfs_dirent type and
      performs casting.
      
      This patch doesn't introduce any behavior difference.

      This fixes a possible inode_permission NULL pointer dereference (and

      too much.  In commit 48a066e7 ("RCU'd vfsmounts") the placement of

      incrementing the lockref on the parent dentry with LOOKUP_RCU cleared.

      the later failures did wrt LOOKUP_ROOT and nd->root.

      arm64: Move PTE_PROT_NONE higher up · 3676f9ef
      Catalin Marinas authored
      PTE_PROT_NONE means that a pte is present but does not have any
      read/write attributes. However, setting the memory type like
      pgprot_writecombine() is allowed and such bits overlap with
      PTE_PROT_NONE. This causes mmap/munmap issues in drivers that change the
      vma->vm_pg_prot on PROT_NONE mappings.
      
      This patch reverts the PTE_FILE/PTE_PROT_NONE shift in commit
      59911ca4 (ARM64: mm: Move PTE_PROT_NONE bit) and moves PTE_PROT_NONE
      together with the other software bits.
