sysfs: convert BUG_ON to WARN_ON

2019-01-07T07:53:32Z

It's rude to crash the system just because the developer did something wrong, as it prevents them from usually even seeing what went wrong. So convert the few BUG_ON() calls that have snuck into the sysfs code over the years to WARN_ON() to make it more "friendly". All of these are able to be recovered from, so it makes no sense to crash. Reported-by: Linus Torvalds Reviewed-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sysfs, kobject: allow creating kobject belonging to arbitrary users

2018-07-21T06:44:35Z

Normally kobjects and their sysfs representation belong to global root, however it is not necessarily the case for objects in separate namespaces. For example, objects in separate network namespace logically belong to the container's root and not global root. This change lays groundwork for allowing network namespace objects ownership to be transferred to container's root user by defining get_ownership() callback in ktype structure and using it in sysfs code to retrieve desired uid/gid when creating sysfs objects for given kobject.

kernfs: allow creating kernfs objects with arbitrary uid/gid

2018-07-21T06:44:35Z

This change allows creating kernfs files and directories with arbitrary uid/gid instead of always using GLOBAL_ROOT_UID/GID by extending kernfs_create_dir_ns() and kernfs_create_file_ns() with uid/gid arguments. The "simple" kernfs_create_file() and kernfs_create_dir() are left alone and always create objects belonging to the global root. When creating symlinks ownership (uid/gid) is taken from the target kernfs object. Co-Developed-by: Tyler Hicks Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks Signed-off-by: David S.

sysfs: remove DEBUG defines

2018-01-23T09:19:23Z

It isn't needed at all in these files, dynamic debug is the best way to enable this type of thing, if you really want it. As it is, these defines were not doing anything at all. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sysfs: use SPDX identifiers

2018-01-23T09:19:10Z

Move the license "mark" of the sysfs files to be in SPDX form, instead of the custom text that it currently is in. This is in a quest to get rid of the 700+ different ways we say "GPLv2" in the kernel tree. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sysfs: turn WARN() into pr_warn()

2018-01-22T15:11:12Z

It's not good to crash the machine if panic_on_warn() is set just because someone made a stupid mistake of trying to create a sysfs file with the same name of an existing one. This makes the automated testing tools a lot harder to find the real bugs in the kernel. So just print a warning out and dump the stack to get the attention of the developer that they did something foolish. Then keep on trucking, as this should not be a fatal error at all.

kernfs: make kernfs_path*() behave in the style of strlcpy()

2016-08-10T15:23:44Z

kernfs_path*() functions always return the length of the full path but the path content is undefined if the length is larger than the provided buffer. This makes its behavior different from strlcpy() and requires error handling in all its users even when they don't care about truncation. In addition, the implementation can actully be simplified by making it behave properly in strlcpy() style. * Update kernfs_path_from_node_locked() to always fill up the buffer with path. If the buffer is not large enough, the output is truncated and terminated. * kernfs_path() no longer needs error handling. Make it a simple inline wrapper around kernfs_path_from_node(). * sysfs_warn_dup()'s use of kernfs_path() doesn't need error handling. Updated accordingly. * cgroup_path()'s use of kernfs_path() updated to retain the old behavior. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Acked-by: Serge Hallyn

sysfs: Add support for permanently empty directories to serve as mount points.

2015-07-01T15:36:45Z

Add two functions sysfs_create_mount_point and sysfs_remove_mount_point that hang a permanently empty directory off of a kobject or remove a permanently emptpy directory hanging from a kobject. Export these new functions so modular filesystems can use them. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman"

kernfs: implement kernfs_get_parent(), kernfs_name/path() and friends

2014-02-08T00:05:35Z

kernfs_node->parent and ->name are currently marked as "published" indicating that kernfs users may access them directly; however, those fields may get updated by kernfs_rename[_ns]() and unrestricted access may lead to erroneous values or oops. Protect ->parent and ->name updates with a irq-safe spinlock kernfs_rename_lock and implement the following accessors for these fields. * kernfs_name() - format the node's name into the specified buffer * kernfs_path() - format the node's path into the specified buffer * pr_cont_kernfs_name() - pr_cont a node's name (doesn't need buffer) * pr_cont_kernfs_path() - pr_cont a node's path (doesn't need buffer) * kernfs_get_parent() - pin and return a node's parent All can be called under any context. The recursive sysfs_pathname() in fs/sysfs/dir.c is replaced with kernfs_path() and sysfs_rename_dir_ns() is updated to use kernfs_get_parent() instead of dereferencing parent directly. v2: Dummy definition of kernfs_path() for !CONFIG_KERNFS was missing static inline making it cause a lot of build warnings. Add it. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

kernfs: add @mode to kernfs_create_dir[_ns]()

2013-12-17T16:59:15Z

sysfs assumed 0755 for all newly created directories and kernfs inherited it. This assumption is unnecessarily restrictive and inconsistent with kernfs_create_file[_ns](). This patch adds @mode parameter to kernfs_create_dir[_ns]() and update uses in sysfs accordingly. Among others, this will be useful for implementations of the planned ->mkdir() method. This patch doesn't introduce any behavior differences. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
