driver core: Fix unbalanced device reference in drivers_probe

2015-02-20T00:49:24Z

commit 0372ffb35d00288802265586a29c117911d02fb8 upstream. bus_find_device_by_name() acquires a device reference which is never released. This results in an object leak, which on older kernels results in failure to release all resources of PCI devices. libvirt uses drivers_probe to re-attach devices to the host after assignment and is therefore a common trigger for this leak. Example: # cd /sys/bus/pci/ # dmesg -C # echo 1 > devices/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs # echo 0 > devices/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs # dmesg | grep 01:10 pci 0000:01:10.0: [8086:10ca] type 00 class 0x020000 kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): kobject_add_internal: parent: '0000:00:01.0', set: 'devices' kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): kobject_uevent_env kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): fill_kobj_path: path = '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:10.0' kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): kobject_uevent_env kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): fill_kobj_path: path = '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:10.0' kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): kobject_uevent_env kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): fill_kobj_path: path = '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:10.0' kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): kobject_cleanup, parent (null) kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): calling ktype release kobject: '0000:01:10.0': free name [kobject freed as expected] # dmesg -C # echo 1 > devices/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs # echo 0000:01:10.0 > drivers_probe # echo 0 > devices/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs # dmesg | grep 01:10 pci 0000:01:10.0: [8086:10ca] type 00 class 0x020000 kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79ce0a8): kobject_add_internal: parent: '0000:00:01.0', set: 'devices' kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79ce0a8): kobject_uevent_env kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79ce0a8): fill_kobj_path: path = '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:10.0' kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79ce0a8): kobject_uevent_env kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79ce0a8): fill_kobj_path: path = '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:10.0' kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79ce0a8): kobject_uevent_env kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79ce0a8): fill_kobj_path: path = '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:10.0' [no free] Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

Driver core: treat unregistered bus_types as having no devices

2013-03-06T03:23:48Z

commit 4fa3e78be7e985ca814ce2aa0c09cbee404efcf7 upstream. A bus_type has a list of devices (klist_devices), but the list and the subsys_private structure that contains it are not initialized until the bus_type is registered with bus_register(). The panic/reboot path has fixups that look up devices in pci_bus_type. If we panic before registering pci_bus_type, the bus_type exists but the list does not, so mach_reboot_fixups() trips over a null pointer and panics again: mach_reboot_fixups pci_get_device .. bus_find_device(&pci_bus_type, ...) bus->p is NULL Joonsoo reported a problem when panicking before PCI was initialized. I think this patch should be sufficient to replace the patch he posted here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/28/75 ("[PATCH] x86, reboot: skip reboot_fixups in early boot phase") Reported-by: Joonsoo Kim Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

driver core: remove CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 but keep it for block devices

2010-10-22T17:16:43Z

This patch removes the old CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 config option, but it keeps the logic around to handle block devices in the old manner as some people like to run new kernel versions on old (pre 2007/2008) distros.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32Z

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

Driver core: create lock/unlock functions for struct device

2010-03-08T01:04:52Z

In the future, we are going to be changing the lock type for struct device (once we get the lockdep infrastructure properly worked out) To make that changeover easier, and to possibly burry the lock in a different part of struct device, let's create some functions to lock and unlock a device so that no out-of-core code needs to be changed in the future. This patch creates the device_lock/unlock/trylock() functions, and converts all in-tree users to them.

Driver core: Constify struct sysfs_ops in struct kobj_type

2010-03-08T01:04:49Z

Constify struct sysfs_ops. This is part of the ops structure constification effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al. Benefits of this constification: * prevents modification of data that is shared (referenced) by many other structure instances at runtime * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional) modification attempts on archs that enforce read-only kernel data at runtime * potentially better optimized code as the compiler can assume that the const data cannot be changed * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata and therefore exclude them from false sharing Signed-off-by: Emese Revfy Acked-by: David Teigland Acked-by: Matt Domsch Acked-by: Maciej Sosnowski Acked-by: Hans J.
