sysfs: implement sysfs_dirent active reference and immediate disconnect sysfs: implement sysfs_dirent active reference and immediate disconnect Opening a sysfs node references its associated kobject, so userland can arbitrarily prolong lifetime of a kobject which complicates lifetime rules in drivers. This patch implements active reference and makes the association between kobject and sysfs immediately breakable. Now each sysfs_dirent has two reference counts - s_count and s_active. s_count is a regular reference count which guarantees that the containing sysfs_dirent is accessible. As long as s_count reference is held, all sysfs internal fields in sysfs_dirent are accessible including s_parent and s_name. The newly added s_active is active reference count. This is acquired by invoking sysfs_get_active() and it's the caller's responsibility to ensure sysfs_dirent itself is accessible (should be holding s_count one way or the other). Dereferencing sysfs_dirent to access objects out of sysfs proper requires active reference. This includes access to the associated kobjects, attributes and ops. The active references can be drained and denied by calling sysfs_deactivate(). All active sysfs_dirents must be deactivated after deletion but before the default reference is dropped. This enables immediate disconnect of sysfs nodes. Once a sysfs_dirent is deleted, it won't access any entity external to sysfs proper. Because attr/bin_attr ops access both the node itself and its parent for kobject, they need to hold active references to both. sysfs_get/put_active_two() helpers are provided to help grabbing both references. Parent's is acquired first and released last. Unlike other operations, mmapped area lingers on after mmap() is finished and the module implement implementing it and kobj need to stay referenced till all the mapped pages are gone. This is accomplished by holding one set of active references to the bin_attr and its parent if there have been any mmap during lifetime of an openfile. The references are dropped when the openfile is released. This change makes sysfs lifetime rules independent from both kobject's and module's. It not only fixes several race conditions caused by sysfs not holding onto the proper module when referencing kobject, but also helps fixing and simplifying lifetime management in driver model and drivers by taking sysfs out of the equation.

sysfs: implement sysfs_dirent active reference and immediate disconnect sysfs: implement sysfs_dirent active reference and immediate disconnect Opening a sysfs node references its associated kobject, so userland can arbitrarily prolong lifetime of a kobject which complicates lifetime rules in drivers. This patch implements active reference and makes the association between kobject and sysfs immediately breakable. Now each sysfs_dirent has two reference counts - s_count and s_active. s_count is a regular reference count which guarantees that the containing sysfs_dirent is accessible. As long as s_count reference is held, all sysfs internal fields in sysfs_dirent are accessible including s_parent and s_name. The newly added s_active is active reference count.

Dereferencing sysfs_dirent to access objects out of sysfs proper requires active reference. This includes access to the associated kobjects, attributes and ops. The active references can be drained and denied by calling sysfs_deactivate(). All active sysfs_dirents must be deactivated after deletion but before the default reference is dropped. This enables immediate disconnect of sysfs nodes. Once a sysfs_dirent is deleted, it won't access any entity external to sysfs proper.

sysfs: restructure add/remove paths and fix inode update The original add/remove code had the following problems. * parent's timestamps are updated on dentry instantiation. this is incorrect with reclaimable files. * updating parent's timestamps isn't synchronized. * parent nlink update assumes the inode is accessible which won't be true once directory dentries are made reclaimable. This patch restructures add/remove paths to resolve the above problems. Add/removal are done in the following steps. 1. sysfs_addrm_start() : acquire locks including sysfs_mutex and other resources. 2-a. sysfs_add_one() : add new sd. linking the new sd into the children list is caller's responsibility. 2-b. sysfs_remove_one() : remove a sd. unlinking the sd from the children list is caller's responsibility. 3. sysfs_addrm_finish() : release all resources and clean up. Steps 2-a and/or 2-b can be repeated multiple times. Parent's inode is looked up during sysfs_addrm_start(). If available (always at the moment), it's pinned and nlink is updated as sd's are added and removed. Timestamps are updated during finish if any sd has been added or removed. If parent's inode is not available during start, sysfs_mutex ensures that parent inode is not created till add/remove is complete. All the complexity is contained inside the helper functions. Especially, dentry/inode handling is properly hidden from the rest of sysfs which now mostly operate on sysfs_dirents. As an added bonus, codes which use these helpers to add and remove sysfs_dirents are now more structured and simpler.

sysfs: restructure add/remove paths and fix inode update The original add/remove code had the following problems. * parent's timestamps are updated on dentry instantiation. this is incorrect with reclaimable files. * updating parent's timestamps isn't synchronized. * parent nlink update assumes the inode is accessible which won't be true once directory dentries are made reclaimable. This patch restructures add/remove paths to resolve the above problems. Add/removal are done in the following steps. 1. sysfs_addrm_start() : acquire locks including sysfs_mutex and other resources. 2-a. sysfs_add_one() : add new sd. linking the new sd into the children list is caller's responsibility. 2-b. sysfs_remove_one() : remove a sd. unlinking the sd from the children list is caller's responsibility. 3. sysfs_addrm_finish() : release all resources and clean up. Steps 2-a and/or 2-b can be repeated multiple times. Parent's inode is looked up during sysfs_addrm_start(). If available (always at the moment), it's pinned and nlink is updated as sd's are added and removed. Timestamps are updated during finish if any sd has been added or removed. If parent's inode is not available during start, sysfs_mutex ensures that parent inode is not created till add/remove is complete. All the complexity is contained inside the helper functions.
