* [PATCH] sysfs: reinstate exclusion between method calls and attribute ↵Alan Stern2007-03-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | unregistration This patch (as869) reinstates the mutual exclusion between sysfs attribute method calls and attribute unregistration. The previously-reported deadlocks have been fixed, and this exclusion is by far the simplest way to avoid races during driver unbinding. The check for orphaned read-buffers has been moved down slightly, so that the remainder of a partially-read buffer will still be available to userspace even after the attribute has been unregistered.

* [PATCH] suspend regression: sysfs deadlockHugh Dickins2007-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Suspend deadlocks when trying to unregister /sys/block/sr0. This comes from Oliver's commit 94bebf4d1b8e7719f0f3944c037a21cfd99a4af7 "Driver core: fix race in sysfs between sysfs_remove_file() and read()/write()". sysfs_write_file downs buffer->sem while calling flush_write_buffer, and flushing that particular write buffer entails downing buffer->sem in orphan_all_buffers, resulting in the obvious self-deadlock.

* [PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 3Arjan van de Ven2007-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources.

* sysfs: Shadow directory supportEric W. Biederman2007-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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/*. What I want is a separate /sys/class/net directory in sysfs for each network namespace, and I want to name each of them /sys/class/net. I looked and the VFS actually allows that. All that is needed is for /sys/class/net to implement a follow link method to redirect lookups to the real directory you want. Implementing a follow link method that is sensitive to the current network namespace turns out to be 3 lines of code so it looks like a clean approach. Modifying sysfs so it doesn't get in my was is a bit trickier. I am calling the concept of multiple directories all at the same path in the filesystem shadow directories. With the directory entry really at that location the shadow master. The following patch modifies sysfs so it can handle a directory structure slightly different from the kobject tree so I can implement the shadow directories for handling /sys/class/net/.

* Driver core: fix race in sysfs between sysfs_remove_file() and read()/write()Oliver Neukum2007-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch prevents a race between IO and removing a file from sysfs. It introduces a list of sysfs_buffers associated with a file at the inode. Upon removal of a file the list is walked and the buffers marked orphaned. IO to orphaned buffers fails with -ENODEV. The driver can safely free associated data structures or be unloaded.

* [PATCH] inode-diet: Eliminate i_blksize from the inode structureTheodore Ts'o2006-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode. Filesystems that want to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function. Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect) values for i_blksize.

* [PATCH] lockdep: annotate the sysfs i_mutex to be a separate classArjan van de Ven2006-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sysfs has a different i_mutex lock order behavior for i_mutex than the other filesystems; sysfs i_mutex is called in many places with subsystem locks held. At the same time, many of the VFS locking rules do not apply to sysfs at all (cross directory rename for example). To untangle this mess (which gives false positives in lockdep), we're giving sysfs inodes their own class for i_mutex.

* [PATCH] Fix oops in sysfs_hash_and_remove_file()James Bottomley2005-08-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem arises if an entity in sysfs is created and removed without ever having been made completely visible. In SCSI this is triggered by removing a device while it's initialising. The problem appears to be that because it was never made visible in sysfs, the sysfs dentry has a null d_inode which oopses when a reference is made to it. The solution is simply to check d_inode and assume the object was never made visible (and thus doesn't need deleting) if it's NULL. (akpm: possibly a stopgap for 2.6.13 scsi problems.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-16
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
