sysfs: only access bin file vm_ops with the active lock

2010-10-22T17:16:43Z

bb->vm_ops is a cached copy of the vm_ops of the underlying sysfs bin file, which means that after sysfs_bin_remove_file completes it is only longer valid to deference bb->vm_ops. So move all of the tests of bb->vm_ops inside of where we hold the sysfs active lock. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sysfs: Fail bin file mmap if vma close is implemented.

2010-10-22T17:16:43Z

It is not reasonably possible to wrap vma->close(). To correctly wrap close would imply calling close on any vmas that remain when sysfs_remove_bin_file is called. Finding the proper lists walking them getting the locking right etc, requires deep knowledge of the mm subsystem and as such would require assistence from the mm subsystem to implement. That assistence does not currently exist. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sysfs: add struct file* to bin_attr callbacks

2010-05-21T16:37:31Z

This allows bin_attr->read,write,mmap callbacks to check file specific data (such as inode owner) as part of any privilege validation. Signed-off-by: Chris Wright Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sysfs: Implement sysfs tagged directory support.

2010-05-21T16:37:31Z

The problem. When implementing a network namespace I need to be able to have multiple network devices with the same name. Currently this is a problem for /sys/class/net/*, /sys/devices/virtual/net/*, and potentially a few other directories of the form /sys/ ... /net/*. What this patch does is to add an additional tag field to the sysfs dirent structure. For directories that should show different contents depending on the context such as /sys/class/net/, and /sys/devices/virtual/net/ this tag field is used to specify the context in which those directories should be visible. Effectively this is the same as creating multiple distinct directories with the same name but internally to sysfs the result is nicer. I am calling the concept of a single directory that looks like multiple directories all at the same path in the filesystem tagged directories. For the networking namespace the set of directories whose contents I need to filter with tags can depend on the presence or absence of hotplug hardware or which modules are currently loaded. Which means I need a simple race free way to setup those directories as tagged. To achieve a reace free design all tagged directories are created and managed by sysfs itself. Users of this interface: - define a type in the sysfs_tag_type enumeration. - call sysfs_register_ns_types with the type and it's operations - sysfs_exit_ns when an individual tag is no longer valid - Implement mount_ns() which returns the ns of the calling process so we can attach it to a sysfs superblock. - Implement ktype.namespace() which returns the ns of a syfs kobject. Everything else is left up to sysfs and the driver layer. For the network namespace mount_ns and namespace() are essentially one line functions, and look to remain that. Tags are currently represented a const void * pointers as that is both generic, prevides enough information for equality comparisons, and is trivial to create for current users, as it is just the existing namespace pointer. The work needed in sysfs is more extensive. At each directory or symlink creating I need to check if the directory it is being created in is a tagged directory and if so generate the appropriate tag to place on the sysfs_dirent. Likewise at each symlink or directory removal I need to check if the sysfs directory it is being removed from is a tagged directory and if so figure out which tag goes along with the name I am deleting. Currently only directories which hold kobjects, and symlinks are supported. There is not enough information in the current file attribute interfaces to give us anything to discriminate on which makes it useless, and there are no potential users which makes it an uninteresting problem to solve.

sysfs: Remove sysfs_get/put_active_two

2010-03-08T01:04:51Z

It turns out that holding an active reference on a directory is pointless. The purpose of the active references are to allows us to block when removing sysfs entries that have custom methods so we don't remove modules while running modular code and to keep those custom methods from accessing data structures after the files have been removed. Further sysfs_remove_dir remove all elements in the directory before removing the directory itself, so there is no chance we will remove a directory with active children. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Driver core: bin_attribute parameters can often be const*

2009-12-23T19:23:43Z

Many struct bin_attribute descriptors are purely read-only structures, and there's no need to change them. Therefore make the promise not to, which will let those descriptors be put in a ro section. Signed-off-by: Phil Carmody Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

const: mark struct vm_struct_operations

Free the memory allocated by memdup_user() in fs/sysfs/bin.c

2009-07-08T16:34:07Z

Commit 1c8542c7bb replaced kmalloc() with memdup_user() in the write() function but also dropped the kfree(temp). The memdup_user() function allocates memory which is never freed. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas Cc: Parag Warudkar Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
