      sysfs: kill attribute file orphaning · 73107cb3
      Tejun Heo authored
      Now that sysfs_dirent can be disconnected from kobject on deletion,
      there is no need to orphan each attribute files.  All [bin_]attribute
      nodes are automatically orphaned when the parent node is deleted.
      Kill attribute file orphaning.

      sysfs: implement sysfs_dirent active reference and immediate disconnect · 0ab66088
      Tejun Heo authored
      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: reimplement symlink using sysfs_dirent tree · 2b29ac25
      Tejun Heo authored
      sysfs symlink is implemented by referencing dentry and kobject from
      sysfs_dirent - symlink entry references kobject, dentry is used to
      walk the tree.  This complicates object lifetimes rules and is
      dangerous - for example, there is no way to tell to which module the
      target of a symlink belongs and referencing that kobject can make it
      linger after the module is gone.
      
      This patch reimplements symlink using only sysfs_dirent tree.  sd for
      a symlink points and holds reference to the target sysfs_dirent and
      all walking is done using sysfs_dirent tree.  Simpler and safer.

      sysfs: implement kobj_sysfs_assoc_lock · aecdceda
      Tejun Heo authored
      kobj->dentry can go away anytime unless the user controls when the
      associated sysfs node is deleted.  This patch implements
      kobj_sysfs_assoc_lock which protects kobj->dentry.  This will be used
      to maintain kobj based API when converting sysfs to use sysfs_dirent
      tree instead of dentry/kobject.
      
      Note that this lock belongs to kobject/driver-model not sysfs.  Once
      sysfs is converted to not use kobject in its interface, this can be
      removed from sysfs.
      
      This is in preparation of object reference simplification.

      sysfs: make sysfs_dirent->s_element a union · 3e519038
      Tejun Heo authored
      Make sd->s_element a union of sysfs_elem_{dir|symlink|attr|bin_attr}
      and rename it to s_elem.  This is to achieve...
      
      * some level of type checking : changing symlink to point to
        sysfs_dirent instead of kobject is much safer and less painful now.
      * easier / standardized dereferencing
      * allow sysfs_elem_* to contain more than one entry
      
      Where possible, pointer is obtained by directly deferencing from sd
      instead of going through other entities.  This reduces dependencies to
      dentry, inode and kobject.  to_attr() and to_bin_attr() are unused now
      and removed.

      Add s_name to sysfs_dirent.  This is to further reduce dependency to
      the associated dentry.  Name is copied for directories and symlinks
      but not for attributes.

      removed.

      sysfs: add sysfs_dirent->s_parent · 13b3086d
      Tejun Heo authored
      Add sysfs_dirent->s_parent.  With this patch, each sd points to and
      holds a reference to its parent.  This allows walking sysfs tree
      without referencing sd->s_dentry which can go away anytime if the user
      doesn't control when it's deleted.
      
      sd->s_parent is initialized and parent is referenced in
      sysfs_attach_dirent().  Reference to parent is released when the sd is
      released, so as long as reference to a sd is held, s_parent can be
      followed.
      
      dentry walk in sysfs_readdir() is convereted to s_parent walk.
      
      This will be used to reimplement symlink such that it uses only
      sysfs_dirent tree.

      sysfs: consolidate sysfs_dirent creation functions · a26cd722
      Tejun Heo authored
      Currently there are four functions to create sysfs_dirent -
      __sysfs_new_dirent(), sysfs_new_dirent(), __sysfs_make_dirent() and
      sysfs_make_dirent().  Other than sysfs_make_dirent(), no function has
      two users if calls to implement other functions are excluded.
      
      This patch consolidates sysfs_dirent creation functions into the
      following two.
      
      * sysfs_new_dirent() : allocate and initialize
      * sysfs_attach_dirent() : attach to sysfs_dirent hierarchy and/or
      			  associate with dentry
      
      This simplifies interface and gives callers more flexibility.  This is
      in preparation of object reference simplification.

      ida: implement idr based id allocator · 72dba584
      Tejun Heo authored
      Implement idr based id allocator.  ida is used the same way idr is
      used but lacks id -> ptr translation and thus consumes much less
      memory.  struct ida_bitmap is attached as leaf nodes to idr tree which
      is managed by the idr code.  Each ida_bitmap is 128bytes long and
      contains slightly less than a thousand slots.
      
      ida is more aggressive with releasing extra resources acquired using
      ida_pre_get().  After every successful id allocation, ida frees one
      reserved idr_layer if possible.  Reserved ida_bitmap is not freed
      automatically but only one ida_bitmap is reserved and it's almost
      always used right away.  Under most circumstances, ida won't hold on
      to memory for too long which isn't actively used.

      idr: fix obscure bug in allocation path · 7aae6dd8
      Tejun Heo authored
      In sub_alloc(), when bitmap search fails, it goes up one level to
      continue search.  This is done by updating the id cursor and searching
      the upper level again.  If the cursor was at the end of the upper
      level, we need to go further than that.
      
      This wasn't implemented and when that happens the part of the cursor
      which indexes into the upper level wraps and sub_alloc() ends up
      searching the wrong bitmap.  It allocates id which doesn't match the
      actual slot.
      
      This patch fixes this by restarting from the top if the search needs
      to go higher than one level.

      PM: Remove pm_parent from struct dev_pm_info · 9cddad77
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored
      The pm_parent member of struct dev_pm_info (defined in include/linux/pm.h) is
      only used to check if the device's parent is in the right state while the
      device is being suspended or resumed.  However, this can be done just as well
      with the help of the parent pointer in struct device, so pm_parent can be
      removed along with some code that handles it.

      Driver core: add missing kset uevent · 80f03e34
      Kay Sievers authored
      We get uevents for a bus/class going away, but not one registering.
      Add the missing uevent in kset_register(), which will send an
      event for a new bus/class. Suppress all unwanted uevents for bus
      subdirectories like /bus/*/devices/, /bus/*/drivers/.
      
      Now we get for module usbcore:
        add      /module/usbcore (module)
        add      /bus/usb (bus)
        add      /class/usb_host (class)
        add      /bus/usb/drivers/hub (drivers)
        add      /bus/usb/drivers/usb (drivers)
        remove   /bus/usb/drivers/usb (drivers)
        remove   /bus/usb/drivers/hub (drivers)
        remove   /class/usb_host (class)
        remove   /bus/usb (bus)
        remove   /module/usbcore (module)
      
      instead of:
        add      /module/usbcore (module)
        add      /bus/usb/drivers/hub (drivers)
        add      /bus/usb/drivers/usb (drivers)
        remove   /bus/usb/drivers/usb (drivers)
        remove   /bus/usb/drivers/hub (drivers)
        remove   /class/usb_host (class)
        remove   /bus/usb/drivers (bus)
        remove   /bus/usb/devices (bus)
        remove   /bus/usb (bus)
        remove   /module/usbcore (module)

      DMI-based module autoloading · 4f5c791a
      Lennart Poettering authored
      The patch below adds DMI/SMBIOS based module autoloading to the Linux
      kernel. The idea is to load laptop drivers automatically (and other
      drivers which cannot be autoloaded otherwise), based on the DMI system
      identification information of the BIOS.
      
      Right now most distros manually try to load all available laptop
      drivers on bootup in the hope that at least one of them loads
      successfully. This patch does away with all that, and uses udev to
      automatically load matching drivers on the right machines.
      
      Basically the patch just exports the DMI information that has been
      parsed by the kernel anyway to userspace via a sysfs device
      /sys/class/dmi/id and makes sure that proper modalias attributes are
      available. Besides adding the "modalias" attribute it also adds
      attributes for a few other DMI fields which might be useful for
      writing udev rules.
      
      This patch is not an attempt to export the entire DMI/SMBIOS data to
      userspace. We already have "dmidecode" which parses the complete DMI
      info from userspace. The purpose of this patch is machine model
      identification and good udev integration.
      
      To take advantage of DMI based module autoloading, a driver should
      export one or more MODULE_ALIAS fields similar to these:
      
      MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:svnMICRO-STARINT'LCO.,LTD:pnMS-1013:pvr0131*:cvnMICRO-STARINT'LCO.,LTD:ct10:*");
      MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:svnMicro-StarInternational:pnMS-1058:pvr0581:rvnMSI:rnMS-1058:*:ct10:*");
      MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:svnMicro-StarInternational:pnMS-1412:*:rvnMSI:rnMS-1412:*:cvnMICRO-STARINT'LCO.,LTD:ct10:*");
      MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:svnNOTEBOOK:pnSAM2000:pvr0131*:cvnMICRO-STARINT'LCO.,LTD:ct10:*");
      
      These lines are specific to my msi-laptop.c driver. They are basically
      just a concatenation of a few carefully selected DMI fields with all
      potentially bad characters stripped.
      
      Besides laptop drivers, modules like "hdaps", the i2c modules
      and the hwmon modules are good candidates for "dmi:" MODULE_ALIAS
      lines.
      
      Besides merely exporting the DMI data via sysfs the patch adds
      support for a few more DMI fields. Especially the CHASSIS fields are
      very useful to identify different laptop modules. The patch also adds
      working MODULE_ALIAS lines to my msi-laptop.c driver.
      
      I'd like to thank Kay Sievers for helping me to clean up this patch
      for posting it on lkml.
      
      Patch is against Linus' current GIT HEAD. Should probably apply to
      older kernels as well without modification.

      Make common helpers for seq_files that work with list_heads · bcf67e16
      Pavel Emelianov authored
      Many places in kernel use seq_file API to iterate over a regular list_head.
      The code for such iteration is identical in all the places, so it's worth
      introducing a common helpers.
      
      This makes code about 300 lines smaller:
      
      The first version of this patch made the helper functions static inline
      in the seq_file.h header. This patch moves them to the fs/seq_file.c as
      Andrew proposed. The vmlinux .text section sizes are as follows:
      
      2.6.22-rc1-mm1:              0x001794d5
      with the previous version:   0x00179505
      with this patch:             0x00179135
      
      The config file used was make allnoconfig with the "y" inclusion of all
      the possible options to make the files modified by the patch compile plus
      drivers I have on the test node.
