2014-04-03kobject: don't block for each kobject_ueventVladimir Davydov
Currently kobject_uevent has somewhat unpredictable semantics. The point is, since it may call a usermode helper and wait for it to execute (UMH_WAIT_EXEC), it is impossible to say for sure what lock dependencies it will introduce for the caller - strictly speaking it depends on what fs the binary is located on and the set of locks fork may take. There are quite a few kobject_uevent's users that do not take this into account and call it with various mutexes taken, e.g. rtnl_mutex, net_mutex, which might potentially lead to a deadlock. Since there is actually no reason to wait for the usermode helper to execute there, let's make kobject_uevent start the helper asynchronously with the aid of the UMH_NO_WAIT flag. Personally, I'm interested in this, because I really want kobject_uevent to be called under the slab_mutex in the slub implementation as it used to be some time ago, because it greatly simplifies synchronization and automatically fixes a kmemcg-related race. However, there was a deadlock detected on an attempt to call kobject_uevent under the slab_mutex (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/14/45), which was reported to be fixed by releasing the slab_mutex for kobject_uevent. Unfortunately, there was no information about who exactly blocked on the slab_mutex causing the usermode helper to stall, neither have I managed to find this out or reproduce the issue. BTW, this is not the first attempt to make kobject_uevent use UMH_NO_WAIT. Previous one was made by commit f520360d93cd ("kobject: don't block for each kobject_uevent"), but it was wrong (it passed arguments allocated on stack to async thread) so it was reverted in 05f54c13cd0c ("Revert "kobject: don't block for each kobject_uevent"."). It targeted on speeding up the boot process though.

2013-12-11kernfs: s/sysfs_dirent/kernfs_node/ and rename its friends accordinglyTejun Heo
kernfs has just been separated out from sysfs and we're already in full conflict mode. Nothing can make the situation any worse. Let's take the chance to name things properly. This patch performs the following renames. * s/sysfs_elem_dir/kernfs_elem_dir/ * s/sysfs_elem_symlink/kernfs_elem_symlink/ * s/sysfs_elem_attr/kernfs_elem_file/ * s/sysfs_dirent/kernfs_node/ * s/sd/kn/ in kernfs proper * s/parent_sd/parent/ * s/target_sd/target/ * s/dir_sd/parent/ * s/to_sysfs_dirent()/rb_to_kn()/ * misc renames of local vars when they conflict with the above Because md, mic and gpio dig into sysfs details, this patch ends up modifying them. All are sysfs_dirent renames and trivial. While we can avoid these by introducing a dummy wrapping struct sysfs_dirent around kernfs_node, given the limited usage outside kernfs and sysfs proper, I don't think such workaround is called for. This patch is strictly rename only and doesn't introduce any functional difference. - mic / gpio renames were missing. Spotted by kbuild test robot.

2013-09-26sysfs: remove ktype->namespace() invocations in directory codeTejun Heo
For some unrecognizable reason, namespace information is communicated to sysfs through ktype->namespace() callback when there's *nothing* which needs the use of a callback. The whole sequence of operations is completely synchronous and sysfs operations simply end up calling back into the layer which just invoked it in order to find out the namespace information, which is completely backwards, obfuscates what's going on and unnecessarily tangles two separate layers. This patch doesn't remove ktype->namespace() but shifts its handling to kobject layer. We probably want to get rid of the callback in the long term. This patch adds an explicit param to sysfs_{create|rename|move}_dir() and renames them to sysfs_{create|rename|move}_dir_ns(), respectively. ktype->namespace() invocations are moved to the calling sites of the above functions. A new helper kboject_namespace() is introduced which directly tests kobj_ns_type_operations->type which should give the same result as testing sysfs_fs_type(parent_sd) and returns @kobj's namespace tag as necessary. kobject_namespace() is extern as it will be used from another file in the following patches. This patch should be an equivalent conversion without any functional difference. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Eric W.

2013-07-25kobject: delayed kobject release: help find buggy driversRussell King
Implement debugging for kobject release functions. kobjects are reference counted, so the drop of the last reference to them is not predictable. However, the common case is for the last reference to be the kobject's removal from a subsystem, which results in the release function being immediately called. This can hide subtle bugs, which can occur when another thread holds a reference to the kobject at the same time that a kobject is removed. This results in the release method being delayed. In order to make these kinds of problems more visible, the following patch implements a delayed release; this has the effect that the release function will be out of order with respect to the removal of the kobject in the same manner that it would be if a reference was being held. This provides us with an easy way to allow driver writers to debug their drivers and fix otherwise hidden problems.

I had a hard time trying to disable it anyway ;-) The problem this time is lots of code assuming that a call to add_uevent_var() will guarantee that env->buflen > 0. This is not true if CONFIG_HOTPLUG is unset. So things like this end up overwriting env->envp_idx because the array index is -1: if (add_uevent_var(env, "MODALIAS=")) return -ENOMEM; len = input_print_modalias(&env->buf[env->buflen - 1], sizeof(env->buf) - env->buflen, dev, 0); Don't know what the best action is, given that there seem to be a *lot* of this around the kernel. This patch "fixes" the problem for me, but I don't know if it can be considered an appropriate fix. [ It is the correct fix for now, for 3.7 forcing CONFIG_HOTPLUG to always be on is the longterm fix, but it's too late for 3.6 and older kernels to resolve this that way - gregkh ] Reported-by: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no> Tested-by: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Cc: stable <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

The problem. Network devices show up in sysfs and with the network namespace active multiple devices with the same name can show up in the same directory, ouch! To avoid that problem and allow existing applications in network namespaces to see the same interface that is currently presented in sysfs, this patch enables the tagging directory support in sysfs. By using the network namespace pointers as tags to separate out the the sysfs directory entries we ensure that we don't have conflicts in the directories and applications only see a limited set of the network devices.

2009-03-24Driver core: implement uevent suppress in kobjectMing Lei
This patch implements uevent suppress in kobject and removes it from struct device, based on the following ideas: 1,Uevent sending should be one attribute of kobject, so suppressing it in kobject layer is more natural than in device layer. By this way, we can do it for other objects embedded with kobject. 2,It may save several bytes for each instance of struct device.(On my omap3(32bit ARM) based box, can save 8bytes per device object) This patch also introduces dev_set|get_uevent_suppress() helpers to set and query uevent_suppress attribute in case to help kobject as private part of struct device in future.

We don't need a kset here, a simple kobject will do just fine, so dynamically create the kobject and use it. We also rename hypervisor_subsys to hypervisor_kset to catch all users of the variable. Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2008-01-24kset: convert kernel_subsys to use kset_createGreg Kroah-Hartman
Dynamically create the kset instead of declaring it statically. We also rename kernel_subsys to kernel_kset to catch all users of this symbol with a build error instead of an easy-to-ignore build warning. Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2008-01-24kset: remove decl_subsys_nameGreg Kroah-Hartman
The last user of this macro (pci hotplug core) is now switched over to using a dynamic kset, so this macro is no longer needed at all. Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Cc: Kristen Carlson Accardi <kristen.c.accardi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2008-01-24kobject: get rid of kobject_kset_add_dirGreg Kroah-Hartman
kobject_kset_add_dir is only called in one place so remove it and use kobject_create() instead. Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2008-01-24kobject: get rid of kobject_add_dirGreg Kroah-Hartman
kobject_create_and_add is the same as kobject_add_dir, so drop kobject_add_dir. Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2008-01-24kobject: add kobject_create_and_add functionGreg Kroah-Hartman
This lets users create dynamic kobjects much easier. Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
