From ecca47ce8294843045e7465d76fee84dbf07a004 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2014 16:41:03 -0400 Subject: kernfs: kernfs_notify() must be useable from non-sleepable contexts d911d9874801 ("kernfs: make kernfs_notify() trigger inotify events too") added fsnotify triggering to kernfs_notify() which requires a sleepable context. There are already existing users of kernfs_notify() which invoke it from an atomic context and in general it's silly to require a sleepable context for triggering a notification. The following is an invalid context bug triggerd by md invoking sysfs_notify() from IO completion path.

This ends up adding an extra pointer to kernfs_elem_attr enlarging kernfs_node by a pointer, which is not ideal but not a very big deal either. If this turns out to be an actual issue, we can move kernfs_elem_attr->size to kernfs_node->iattr later. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Reported-by: Josh Boyer Cc: Jens Axboe Reviewed-by: Michael S.
