drivers/base/devtmpfs.c: correct annotation of `setup_done'

2011-08-08T20:53:50Z

This fixes the following section mismatch issue: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x1192bf): Section mismatch in reference from the function devtmpfsd() to the variable .init.data:setup_done The function devtmpfsd() references the variable __initdata setup_done. This is often because devtmpfsd lacks a __initdata annotation or the annotation of setup_done is wrong. WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x119342): Section mismatch in reference from the function devtmpfsd() to the variable .init.data:setup_done The function devtmpfsd() references the variable __initdata setup_done. This is often because devtmpfsd lacks a __initdata annotation or the annotation of setup_done is wrong. Signed-off-by: Arnaud Lacombe Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

devtmpfs: missing initialialization in never-hit case

2011-07-28T02:27:33Z

create_path() on something without a single / in it will return err without initializing it. It actually can't happen (we call that thing only if create on the same path returns -ENOENT, which won't happen happen for single-component path), but in this case initializing err to 0 is more than making compiler to STFU - would be the right thing to return on such paths; the function creates a parent directory of given pathname and in that case it has no work to do...

fix devtmpfs race

2011-07-25T18:15:50Z

After we's done complete(&req->done), there's nothing to prevent the scope containing *req from being gone and *req overwritten by any kind of junk. So we must read req->next before that... Signed-off-by: Al Viro

devtmpfs: get rid of bogus mkdir in create_path()

2011-07-20T05:44:11Z

We do _NOT_ want to mkdir the path itself - we are preparing to mknod it, after all. Normally it'll fail with -ENOENT and just do nothing, but if somebody has created the parent in the meanwhile, we'll get buggered... Signed-off-by: Al Viro

switch devtmpfs object creation/removal to separate kernel thread

2011-07-20T05:44:09Z

... and give it a namespace where devtmpfs would be mounted on root, thus avoiding abuses of vfs_path_lookup() (it was never intended to be used with LOOKUP_PARENT). Games with credentials are also gone. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

devtmpfs: support !CONFIG_TMPFS

2010-05-21T16:37:30Z

Make devtmpfs available on (embedded) configurations without SHMEM/TMPFS, using ramfs instead. Saves ~15KB. Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard Acked-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

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: devtmpfs - reset inode permissions before unlinking

2010-03-08T01:04:48Z

Before unlinking the inode, reset the current permissions of possible references like hardlinks, so granted permissions can not be retained across the device lifetime by creating hardlinks, in the unusual case that there is a user-writable directory on the same filesystem.
