debugfs: Remove redundant license text

2017-11-07T19:25:03Z

Now that the SPDX tag is in all debugfs files, that identifies the license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all. This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never needed. No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

debugfs: add SPDX identifiers to all debugfs files

2017-11-07T19:25:03Z

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to audit the kernel tree for correct licenses. Update the debugfs files files with the correct SPDX license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

debugfs: defer debugfs_fsdata allocation to first usage

2017-11-07T19:25:03Z

Currently, __debugfs_create_file allocates one struct debugfs_fsdata instance for every file created. However, there are potentially many debugfs file around, most of which are never touched by userspace. Thus, defer the allocations to the first usage, i.e. to the first debugfs_file_get(). A dentry's ->d_fsdata starts out to point to the "real", user provided fops. After a debugfs_fsdata instance has been allocated (and the real fops pointer has been moved over into its ->real_fops member), ->d_fsdata is changed to point to it from then on. The two cases are distinguished by setting BIT(0) for the real fops case. struct debugfs_fsdata's foremost purpose is to track active users and to make debugfs_remove() block until they are done. Since no debugfs_fsdata instance means no active users, make debugfs_remove() return immediately in this case. Take care of possible races between debugfs_file_get() and debugfs_remove(): either debugfs_remove() must see a debugfs_fsdata instance and thus wait for possible active users or debugfs_file_get() must see a dead dentry and return immediately. Make a dentry's ->d_release(), i.e. debugfs_release_dentry(), check whether ->d_fsdata is actually a debugfs_fsdata instance before kfree()ing it. Similarly, make debugfs_real_fops() check whether ->d_fsdata is actually a debugfs_fsdata instance before returning it, otherwise emit a warning. The set of possible error codes returned from debugfs_file_get() has grown from -EIO to -EIO and -ENOMEM. Make open_proxy_open() and full_proxy_open() pass the -ENOMEM onwards to their callers.

debugfs: call debugfs_real_fops() only after debugfs_file_get()

2017-11-07T19:25:03Z

The current implementation of debugfs_real_fops() relies on a debugfs_fsdata instance to be installed at ->d_fsdata. With future patches introducing lazy allocation of these, this requirement will be guaranteed to be fullfilled only inbetween a debugfs_file_get()/debugfs_file_put() pair. The full proxies' fops implemented by debugfs happen to be the only offenders. Fix them up by moving their debugfs_real_fops() calls past those to debugfs_file_get(). full_proxy_release() is special as it doesn't invoke debugfs_file_get() at all. Leave it alone for now.

debugfs: purge obsolete SRCU based removal protection

2017-11-07T19:25:02Z

Purge the SRCU based file removal race protection in favour of the new, refcount based debugfs_file_get()/debugfs_file_put() API. Fixes: 49d200deaa68 ("debugfs: prevent access to removed files' private data") Signed-off-by: Nicolai Stange Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

debugfs: convert to debugfs_file_get() and -put()

2017-11-07T19:25:02Z

Convert all calls to the now obsolete debugfs_use_file_start() and debugfs_use_file_finish() from the debugfs core itself to the new debugfs_file_get() and debugfs_file_put() API.

debugfs: debugfs_real_fops(): drop __must_hold sparse annotation

2017-11-07T19:25:02Z

Currently, debugfs_real_fops() is annotated with a __must_hold(&debugfs_srcu) sparse annotation. With the conversion of the SRCU based protection of users against concurrent file removals to a per-file refcount based scheme, this becomes wrong. Drop this annotation.

debugfs: implement per-file removal protection

2017-11-07T19:25:02Z

Since commit 49d200deaa68 ("debugfs: prevent access to removed files' private data"), accesses to a file's private data are protected from concurrent removal by covering all file_operations with a SRCU read section and sychronizing with those before returning from debugfs_remove() by means of synchronize_srcu(). As pointed out by Johannes Berg, there are debugfs files with forever blocking file_operations. Their corresponding SRCU read side sections would block any debugfs_remove() forever as well, even unrelated ones. This results in a livelock. Because a remover can't cancel any indefinite blocking within foreign files, this is a problem. Resolve this by introducing support for more granular protection on a per-file basis. This is implemented by introducing an 'active_users' refcount_t to the per-file struct debugfs_fsdata state. At file creation time, it is set to one and a debugfs_remove() will drop that initial reference. The new debugfs_file_get() and debugfs_file_put(), intended to be used in place of former debugfs_use_file_start() and debugfs_use_file_finish(), increment and decrement it respectively. Once the count drops to zero, debugfs_file_put() will signal a completion which is possibly being waited for from debugfs_remove(). Thus, as long as there is a debugfs_file_get() not yet matched by a corresponding debugfs_file_put() around, debugfs_remove() will block. Actual users of debugfs_use_file_start() and -finish() will get converted to the new debugfs_file_get() and debugfs_file_put() by followup patches.

debugfs: add support for more elaborate ->d_fsdata

2017-11-07T19:25:02Z

Currently, the user provided fops, "real_fops", are stored directly into ->d_fsdata. In order to be able to store more per-file state and thus prepare for more granular file removal protection, wrap the real_fops into a dynamically allocated container struct, debugfs_fsdata. A struct debugfs_fsdata gets allocated at file creation and freed from the newly intoduced ->d_release(). Finally, move the implementation of debugfs_real_fops() out of the public debugfs header such that struct debugfs_fsdata's declaration can be kept private.

Merge branch 'work.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2017-07-15T19:00:42Z

Pull ->s_options removal from Al Viro: "Preparations for fsmount/fsopen stuff (coming next cycle). Everything gets moved to explicit ->show_options(), killing ->s_options off + some cosmetic bits around fs/namespace.c and friends. Basically, the stuff needed to work with fsmount series with minimum of conflicts with other work. It's not strictly required for this merge window, but it would reduce the PITA during the coming cycle, so it would be nice to have those bits and pieces out of the way" * 'work.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: isofs: Fix isofs_show_options() VFS: Kill off s_options and helpers orangefs: Implement show_options 9p: Implement show_options isofs: Implement show_options afs: Implement show_options affs: Implement show_options befs: Implement show_options spufs: Implement show_options bpf: Implement show_options ramfs: Implement show_options pstore: Implement show_options omfs: Implement show_options hugetlbfs: Implement show_options VFS: Don't use save/replace_mount_options if not using generic_show_options VFS: Provide empty name qstr VFS: Make get_filesystem() return the affected filesystem VFS: Clean up whitespace in fs/namespace.c and fs/super.c Provide a function to create a NUL-terminated string from unterminated data
