* sysfs: don't use global workqueue in sysfs_schedule_callback()Alex Chiang2009-04-16

So as long as sysfs attributes cannot commit suicide directly and we are stuck with this callback mechanism, put the sysfs callbacks on their own workqueue instead of the global one. This has the side benefit that if a suicidal sysfs attribute kicks off a long chain of ->remove callbacks, we no longer induce a long delay on the global queue. This also fixes a missing module_put in the error path introduced by sysfs-only-allow-one-scheduled-removal-callback-per-kobj.patch. We never destroy the workqueue, but I'm not sure that's a problem.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 86c9508eb1c0ce5aa07b5cf1d36b60c54efc3d7a "sysfs: don't block indefinitely for unmapped files" in linux-next crashes the PowerMac G5 when X starts up. It's caught out by the way powerpc's pci_mmap of legacy_mem uses shmem_zero_setup(), substituting a new vma->vm_file whose private_data no longer points to the bin_buffer (substitution done because some versions of X crash if that mmap fails). The fix to this is straightforward: the original vm_file is fput() in that case, so this mmap won't block sysfs at all, so just don't switch over to bin_vm_ops if vm_file has changed. But more fixes made before realizing that was the problem:- It should not be an error if bin_page_mkwrite() finds no underlying page_mkwrite(). Check that a file already mmap'ed has the same underlying vm_ops _before_ pointing vma->vm_ops at bin_vm_ops. If the file being mmap'ed is a shmem/tmpfs file, don't fail the mmap on CONFIG_NUMA=y, just because that has a set_policy and get_policy: provide bin_set_policy, bin_get_policy and bin_migrate.

* | sysfs: only allow one scheduled removal callback per kobjAlex Chiang2009-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The only way for a sysfs attribute to remove itself (without deadlock) is to use the sysfs_schedule_callback() interface. Vegard Nossum discovered that a poorly written sysfs ->store callback can repeatedly schedule remove callbacks on the same device over and over, e.g. $ while true ; do echo 1 > /sys/devices/.../remove ; done If the 'remove' attribute uses the sysfs_schedule_callback API and also does not protect itself from concurrent accesses, its callback handler will be called multiple times, and will eventually attempt to perform operations on a freed kobject, leading to many problems. Instead of requiring all callers of sysfs_schedule_callback to implement their own synchronization, provide the protection in the infrastructure. Now, sysfs_schedule_callback will only allow one scheduled callback per kobject. On subsequent calls with the same kobject, return -EAGAIN. This is a short term fix. The long term fix is to allow sysfs attributes to remove themselves directly, without any of this callback hokey pokey.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Modify sysfs bin files so that we can remove the bin file while they are still mapped. When the kobject is removed we unmap the bin file and arrange for future accesses to the mapping to receive SIGBUS. Implementing this prevents a nasty DOS when pci devices are hot plugged and unplugged. Where if any of their resources were mmaped the kernel could not free up their pci resources or release their pci data structures.

The path displayed is always a relative path to sysfs_root. The leading '/' in the path name refers to the sysfs_root mount point, and should not be confused with the "real" '/'.

* sysfs: Support sysfs_notify from atomic context with new sysfs_notify_direntNeil Brown2008-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Support sysfs_notify from atomic context with new sysfs_notify_dirent sysfs_notify currently takes sysfs_mutex. This means that it cannot be called in atomic context. sysfs_mutex is sometimes held over a malloc (sysfs_rename_dir) so it can block on low memory. In md I want to be able to notify on a sysfs attribute from atomic context, and I don't want to block on low memory because I could be in the writeout path for freeing memory. So: - export the "sysfs_dirent" structure along with sysfs_get, sysfs_put and sysfs_get_dirent so I can get the sysfs_dirent that I want to notify on and hold it in an md structure. - split sysfs_notify_dirent out of sysfs_notify so the sysfs_dirent can be notified on with no blocking (just a spinlock).

* driver core: Suppress sysfs warnings for device_rename().Cornelia Huck2008-07-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | driver core: Suppress sysfs warnings for device_rename(). Renaming network devices to an already existing name is not something we want sysfs to print a scary warning for, since the callers can deal with this correctly. So let's introduce sysfs_create_link_nowarn() which gets rid of the common warning. Signed-off-by: Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* sysfs: don't call notify_changeMiklos Szeredi2008-07-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | sysfs_chmod_file() calls notify_change() to change the permission bits on a sysfs file. Replace with explicit call to sysfs_setattr() and fsnotify_change(). This is equivalent, except that security_inode_setattr() is not called. This function is called by drivers, so the security checks do not make any sense.

* sysfs: remove error messages for -EEXIST caseStephen Hemminger2008-05-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is possible that the entry in sysfs already exists, one case of this is when a network device is renamed to bonding_masters. Anyway, in this case the proper error path is for device_rename to return an error code, not to generate bogus backtrace and errors. Also, to avoid possible races, the create link should be done before the remove link. This makes a device rename atomic operation like other renames.

* sysfs: Disallow truncation of files in sysfsBen Hutchings2008-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sysfs allows attribute files to be truncated, e.g. using ftruncate(), with the expected effect on their inode. For most attributes, this doesn't change the "real" size of the file i.e. how much can be read from it. However, the parameter validation for reading and writing binary attribute files is based on the inode size and not the size specified in the file's bin_attribute, so it can be broken by this. For example, if we try using dd to write to such a file: # pwd /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:08:00.0 # ls -l config -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Feb 1 17:35 config # dd if=/dev/zero of=config bs=4 count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out # ls -l config -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 1 17:50 config # dd if=/dev/zero of=config bs=4 count=1 seek=128 dd: writing `config': No space left on device 1+0 records in 0+0 records out Also, after truncation to 0, parameter validation for read and write is disabled. Most bin_attribute read and write methods also validate the size and offset, but for some this will allow out-of-range access. This may be a security issue, though access to such files is often limited to root. In any case, the validation should remain for safety's sake!) This was previously reported in Bugzilla as bug 9867. sysfs should ignore size changes or else refuse them (by returning -EINVAL). This patch makes it ignore them.

* 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
