* kobject: Cleanup kobject_rename and !CONFIG_SYSFSEric W. Biederman2008-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | It finally dawned on me what the clean fix to sysfs_rename_dir calling kobject_set_name is. Move the work into kobject_rename where it belongs. The callers serialize us anyway so this is safe. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* kobject: Fix kobject_rename and !CONFIG_SYSFSEric W. Biederman2008-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When looking at kobject_rename I found two bugs with that exist when sysfs support is disabled in the kernel. kobject_rename does not change the name on the kobject when sysfs support is not compiled in. kobject_rename without locking attempts to check the validity of a rename operation, which the kobject layer simply does not have the infrastructure to do. This patch documents the previously unstated requirement of kobject_rename that is the responsibility of the caller to provide mutual exclusion and to be certain that the new_name for the kobject is valid. This patch modifies sysfs_rename_dir in !CONFIG_SYSFS case to call kobject_set_name to actually change the kobject_name. This patch removes the bogus and misleading check in kobject_rename that attempts to see if a rename is valid. The check is bogus because we do not have the proper locking. The check is misleading because it looks like we can and do perform checking at the kobject level that we don't. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* Kobject: auto-cleanup on final unrefKay Sievers2008-01-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We save the current state in the object itself, so we can do proper cleanup when the last reference is dropped. If the initial reference is dropped, the object will be removed from sysfs if needed, if an "add" event was sent, "remove" will be send, and the allocated resources are released. This allows us to clean up some driver core usage as well as allowing us to do other such changes to the rest of the kernel.

* Kobject: drop child->parent ref at unregistrationAlan Stern2008-01-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as1015) reverts changes that were made to the driver core about four years ago. The intent back then was to avoid certain kinds of invalid memory accesses by leaving kernel objects allocated as long as any of their children were still allocated. The original and correct approach was to wait only as long as any children were still _registered_; that's what this patch reinstates. This fixes a problem in the SCSI core made visible by the class_device to regular device conversion: A reference loop (scsi_device holds reference to request_queue, which is the child of a gendisk, which is the child of the scsi_device) prevents the data structures from being released, even though they are deregistered okay. It's possible that this change will cause a few bugs to surface, things that have been hidden for several years. They can be fixed easily enough by having the child device take an explicit reference to the parent whenever needed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | kobject_init should not be grabing any references, but only initializing the object.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the no longer needed subsys_attributes, they are all converted to the more sensical kobj_attributes.

* 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: Remove first pass at shadow directory supportEric W. Biederman2007-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While shadow directories appear to be a good idea, the current scheme of controlling their creation and destruction outside of sysfs appears to be a locking and maintenance nightmare in the face of sysfs directories dynamically coming and going. Which can now occur for directories containing network devices when CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is not set. This patch removes everything from the initial shadow directory support that allowed the shadow directory creation to be controlled at a higher level. So except for a few bits of sysfs_rename_dir everything from commit b592fcfe7f06c15ec11774b5be7ce0de3aa86e73 is now gone. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* kobject: remove the static array for the nameGreg Kroah-Hartman2007-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to historical reasons, struct kobject contained a static array for the name, and a dynamic pointer in case the name got bigger than the array. That's just dumb, as people didn't always know which variable to reference, even with the accessor for the kobject name.
