scsi: sysfs: Introduce sysfs_{un,}break_active_protection()

2018-09-05T07:20:10Z

commit 2afc9166f79b8f6da5f347f48515215ceee4ae37 upstream. Introduce these two functions and export them such that the next patch can add calls to these functions from the SCSI core.

efi: Move some sysfs files to be read-only by root

2017-12-14T08:28:11Z

commit af97a77bc01ce49a466f9d4c0125479e2e2230b6 upstream. Thanks to the scripts/leaking_addresses.pl script, it was found that some EFI values should not be readable by non-root users. So make them root-only, and to do that, add a __ATTR_RO_MODE() macro to make this easier, and use it in other places at the same time.

Pull chrome platform updates from Olof Johansson: "Here's the branch of chrome platform changes for v4.4. Some have been queued up for the full 4.3 release cycle since I forgot to send them in for that round (rebased early on to deal with fixes conflicts). Most of these enable EC communication stuff -- Pixel 2015 support, enabling building for ARM64 platforms, and a few fixes for memory leaks. There's also a patch in here to allow reading/writing the verified boot context, which depends on a sysfs patch acked by Greg" * tag 'chrome-platform-4.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/olof/chrome-platform: platform/chrome: Fix i2c-designware adapter name platform/chrome: Support reading/writing the vboot context sysfs: Support is_visible() on binary attributes platform/chrome: cros_ec: Fix possible leak in led_rgb_store() platform/chrome: cros_ec: Fix leak in sequence_store() platform/chrome: Enable Chrome platforms on 64-bit ARM platform/chrome: cros_ec_dev - Add a platform device ID table platform/chrome: cros_ec_lpc - Add support for Google Pixel 2 platform/chrome: cros_ec_lpc - Use existing function to check EC result platform/chrome: Make depends on MFD_CROS_EC instead CROS_EC_PROTO Revert "platform/chrome: Don't make CHROME_PLATFORMS depends on X86 || ARM"

sysfs: added __compat_only_sysfs_link_entry_to_kobj()

2015-10-18T23:01:19Z

Added a new function __compat_only_sysfs_link_group_to_kobj() that adds a symlink from attribute or group to a kobject. This needed for maintaining backwards compatibility with PPI attributes in the TPM driver. Signed-off-by: Jarkko Sakkinen Signed-off-by: Peter Huewe

sysfs: Support is_visible() on binary attributes

2015-10-07T22:05:31Z

According to the sysfs header file: "The returned value will replace static permissions defined in struct attribute or struct bin_attribute." but this isn't the case, as is_visible is only called on struct attribute only. This patch introduces a new is_bin_visible() function to implement the same functionality for binary attributes, and updates documentation accordingly. Note that to keep functionality and code similar to that of normal attributes, the mode is now checked as well to ensure it contains only read/write permissions or SYSFS_PREALLOC.

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"

sysfs/kernfs: allow attributes to request write buffer be pre-allocated.

2014-11-07T18:53:25Z

md/raid allows metadata management to be performed in user-space. A various times, particularly on device failure, the metadata needs to be updated before further writes can be permitted. This means that the user-space program which updates metadata much not block on writeout, and so must not allocate memory. mlockall(MCL_CURRENT|MCL_FUTURE) and pre-allocation can avoid all memory allocation issues for user-memory, but that does not help kernel memory. Several kernel objects can be pre-allocated. e.g. files opened before any writes to the array are permitted. However some kernel allocation happens in places that cannot be pre-allocated. In particular, writes to sysfs files (to tell md that it can now allow writes to the array) allocate a buffer using GFP_KERNEL. This patch allows attributes to be marked as "PREALLOC". In that case the maximal buffer is allocated when the file is opened, and then used on each write instead of allocating a new buffer. As the same buffer is now shared for all writes on the same file description, the mutex is extended to cover full use of the buffer including the copy_from_user(). The new __ATTR_PREALLOC() 'or's a new flag in to the 'mode', which is inspected by sysfs_add_file_mode_ns() to determine if the file should be marked as requiring prealloc. Despite the comment, we *do* use ->seq_show together with ->prealloc in this patch. The next patch fixes that. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown Reviewed-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
