* [SCSI] sysfs: make group is_valid return a mode_tJames Bottomley2008-04-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We have a problem in scsi_transport_spi in that we need to customise not only the visibility of the attributes, but also their mode. Fix this by making the is_visible() callback return a mode, with 0 indicating is not visible. Also add a sysfs_update_group() API to allow us to change either the visibility or mode of the files at any time on the fly.

* sysfs: refill attribute buffer when reading from offset 0Dan Williams2008-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Requiring userspace to close and re-open sysfs attributes has been the policy since before 2.6.12. It allows userspace to get a consistent snapshot of kernel state and consume it with incremental reads and seeks. Now, if the file position is zero the kernel assumes userspace wants to see the new value. The application for this change is to allow a userspace RAID metadata handler to check the state of an array without causing any memory allocations. Thus not causing writeback to a raid array that might be blocked waiting for userspace to take action.

* sysfs: Allow removal of symlinks in the sysfs rootMark Fasheh2008-04-18
| | | | | | | | | | Allow callers of sysfs_remove_link() to pass a NULL kobj, in which case sysfs_root will be used as the parent directory. This allows us to tear down top level symlinks created via sysfs_create_link(), which already has similar handling of a NULL parent object.

* sysfs: fix off-by-one error in fill_read_buffer()Miao Xie2007-11-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I found that there is a off-by-one problem in the following code. Version: 2.6.24-rc2 File: fs/sysfs/file.c:118-122 Function: fill_read_buffer -------------------------------------------------------------------- count = ops->show(kobj, attr_sd->s_attr.attr, buffer->page); sysfs_put_active_two(attr_sd); BUG_ON(count > (ssize_t)PAGE_SIZE); -------------------------------------------------------------------- Because according to the specification of the sysfs and the implement of the show methods, the show methods return the number of bytes which would be generated for the given input, excluding the trailing null.So if the return value of the show methods equals PAGE_SIZE - 1, the buffer is full in fact. And if the return value equals PAGE_SIZE, the resulting string was already truncated,or buffer overflow occurred. This patch fixes an off-by-one error in fill_read_buffer.

* sysfs: move sysfs file poll implementation to sysfs_open_direntTejun Heo2007-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sysfs file poll implementation is scattered over sysfs and kobject. Event numbering is done in sysfs_dirent but wait itself is done on kobject. This not only unecessarily bloats both kobject and sysfs_dirent but is also buggy - if a sysfs_dirent is removed while there still are pollers, the associaton betwen the kobject and sysfs_dirent breaks and kobject may be freed with the pollers still sleeping on it. This patch moves whole poll implementation into sysfs_open_dirent. Each time a sysfs_open_dirent is created, event number restarts from 1 and pollers sleep on sysfs_open_dirent. As event sequence number is meaningless without any open file and pollers should have open file and thus sysfs_open_dirent, this ephemeral event counting works and is a saner implementation. This patch fixes the dnagling sleepers bug and reduces the sizes of kobject and sysfs_dirent by one pointer.

* sysfs: Simplify readdir.Eric W. Biederman2007-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At some point someone wrote sysfs_readdir to insert a cursor into the list of sysfs_dirents to ensure that sysfs_readdir would restart properly. That works but it is complex code and tends to be expensive. The same effect can be achieved by keeping the sysfs_dirents in inode order and using the inode number as the f_pos. Then when we restart we just have to find the first dirent whose inode number is equal or greater then the last sysfs_dirent we attempted to return. Removing the sysfs directory cursor also allows the remove of all of the mysterious checks for sysfs_type(sd) != 0. Which were nonbovious checks to see if a cursor was in a directory list. tj: offset marker for EOF is changed from UINT_MAX to INT_MAX to avoid overflow in case offset is 32bit.

* sysfs: In sysfs_lookup don't open code sysfs_find_direntEric W. Biederman2007-10-12

* sysfs: Make sysfs_mount staticEric W. Biederman2007-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch modifies the users of sysfs_mount to use sysfs_root instead (which is what they are looking for). It then makes sysfs_mount static to keep people from using it by accident. The net result is slightly faster and cleaner code. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* sysfs: Use kill_anon_superEric W. Biederman2007-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since sysfs no longer stores fs directory information in the dcache on a permanent basis kill_litter_super it is inappropriate and actively wrong. It will decrement the count on all dentries left in the dcache before trying to free them. At the moment this is not biting us only because we never unmount sysfs. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* sysfs: Remove sysfs_instantiateEric W. Biederman2007-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | Now that sysfs_get_inode is dropping the inode lock we no longer have a need from sysfs_instantiate. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
