[PATCH 2/5] sysfs: simplify sysfs_rename_dir()

[Tejun Heo]

With the shadow directories gone, sysfs_rename_dir() can be simplified.

* parent doesn't need to be grabbed separately.  Just access
  old_dentry->d_parent.

* parent sd can never change.  Remove code to move under the new
  parent.

* Massage comments a bit.

[PATCH 3/5] sysfs: make sysfs_add/remove_one() call link/unlink_sibling() implictly

[Tejun Heo]

When adding or removing a sysfs_dirent, the user used to be required
to call link/unlink separately.  It was for two reasons - code looked
like that before sysfs_addrm_cxt conversion and to avoid looping
through parent_sd->children list twice during removal.

Performance optimization during removal just isn't worth it.  Make
sysfs_add/remove_one() call sysfs_link/unlink_sibing() implicitly.
This makes code simpler albeit slightly less efficient.  This change
doesn't introduce any noticeable behavior change.

[PATCH 5/5] sysfs: make sysfs_addrm_finish() return void

[Tejun Heo]

With the previous sysfs_add_one() update, there is only one user of
the return value of sysfs_addrm_finish() and the user can switch to
testing @sd easily.  Make sysfs_addrm_finish() return void for cleaner
semantics as suggested by Satyam Sharma.

This patch doesn't introduce any noticeable behavior change.

[PATCH 0/25] Sysfs cleanups & tagged directory support

[Eric W. Biederman]

The following patchset applies on top of the last round of
sysfs cleanups that Tejun sent out on the 2nd.

My target with this patchset is to support sysfs directories
with a tag on struct sysfs_dirent making them visible only
on selected mounts of sysfs.

After going around and around the different possibilities I
believe I have finally found something that works and is
reasonably maintainable.   I believe I have achieved that
with only introducing some extra complexity in a few very localized
places.

The worst part is the code to support multiple superblocks and thus
multiple dentry tress for sysfs.  I had allocate a linked list in
sysfs_move_dir for all of the possible dentries I would need to call
d_move on. Bleh.  It works, it is correct and it is an atomic
rename.

[PATCH 03/25] sysfs: Use kill_anon_super

[Eric W. Biederman]

Since sysfs no longer stores fs directory information in the dcache
on a permanent basis kill_litter_super it is inappropriate and actively
wrong.  It will decrement the count on all dentries left in the
dcache before trying to free them.

At the moment this is not biting us only because we never unmount sysfs.

[PATCH 04/25] sysfs: Make sysfs_mount static

[Eric W. Biederman]

This patch modifies the users of sysfs_mount to use sysfs_root
instead (which is what they are looking for).  It then
makes sysfs_mount static to keep people from using it
by accident.

The net result is slightly faster and cleaner code.

[PATCH 06/25] sysfs: Simplify readdir.

[Eric W. Biederman]

At some point someone wrote sysfs_readdir to insert a cursor
into the list of sysfs_dirents to ensure that sysfs_readdir would
restart properly.  That works but it is complex code and tends
to be expensive.

The same effect can be achieved by keeping the sysfs_dirents in
inode order and using the inode number as the f_pos.  Then
when we restart we just have to find the first dirent whose inode
number is equal or greater then the last sysfs_dirent we attempted
to return.

Removing the sysfs directory cursor also allows the remove of
all of the mysterious checks for sysfs_type(sd) != 0.   Which
were nonbovious checks to see if a cursor was in a directory list.

[PATCH 07/25] sysfs: Rewrite sysfs_drop_dentry.

[Eric W. Biederman]

Currently we find the dentry to drop by looking at sd->s_dentry.
We can just as easily accomplish the same task by looking up the
sysfs inode and finding all of the dentries from there, with the
added bonus that we don't need to play with the sysfs_assoc_lock.

[PATCH 09/25] sysfs: Move sysfs_get_dentry below __sysfs_get_dentry

[Eric W. Biederman]

sysfs_get_dentry is higher in fs/sysfs/dir.c then is needed and it the
dependencies get simpler if we move it down in the file to where I
have placed __sysfs_get_dentry.  So this patch just moves
sysfs_get_dentry so code movement doesn't get confused with later code
changes.

[PATCH 10/25] sysfs: Rewrite sysfs_get_dentry in terms of __sysfs_get_dentry

[Eric W. Biederman]

This removes the last major user of s_dentry and makes
the locking in sysfs_get_dentry much simpler.  Hopefully
leading to more readable and maintainable code.

[PATCH 11/25] sysfs: Remove s_dentry

[Eric W. Biederman]

The only uses of s_dentry left are the code that maintains
s_dentry and trivial users that don't actually need it.
So this patch removes the s_dentry maintenance code and
restructures the trivial uses to use something else.

[PATCH 12/25] sysfs: Introduce sysfs_rename_mutex

[Eric W. Biederman]

Looking carefully at the rename code we have a subtle dependency
that the structure of sysfs not change while we are performing
a rename.  If the parent directory of the object we are renaming
changes while the rename is being performed nasty things could
happen when we go to release our locks.

So introduce a sysfs_rename_mutex to prevent this highly
unlikely theoretical issue.

In addition hold sysfs_rename_mutex over all calls to
sysfs_get_dentry. Allowing sysfs_get_dentry to be simplified
in the future.

[PATCH 14/25] sysfs: Don't use lookup_one_len_kern

[Eric W. Biederman]

Upon inspection it appears that there is no looking of the
inode mutex in lookup_one_len_kern and we aren't calling
it with the inode mutex and that is wrong.

So this patch rolls our own dcache insertion function that
does exactly what we need it to do.  As it turns out this
is pretty trivial to do and it makes the code easier to
audit.

[PATCH 15/25] vfs: Remove lookup_one_len_kern

[Eric W. Biederman]

Now that sysfs no longer uses lookup_one_len_kern the function has
no users so remove it from the kernel.  Making namei.c just a little
easier to read.

[PATCH 16/25] sysfs: Support for preventing unmounts.

[Eric W. Biederman]

To support mounting multiple instances of sysfs occassionally I
need to walk through all of the currently present sysfs super blocks.

To allow this iteration this patch adds sysfs_grab_supers
and sysfs_release_supers.  While a piece of code is in
a section surrounded by these no more sysfs super blocks
will be either created or destroyed.

[PATCH 23/25] sysfs: Implement sysfs tagged directory support.

[Eric W. Biederman]

The problem.  When implementing a network namespace I need to be able
to have multiple network devices with the same name.  Currently this
is a problem for /sys/class/net/*, /sys/devices/virtual/net/*, and
potentially a few other directories of the form /sys/ ... /net/*.

What this patch does is to add an additional tag field to the
sysfs dirent structure.  For directories that should show different
contents depending on the context such as /sys/class/net/, and
/sys/devices/virtual/net/ this tag field is used to specify the
context in which those directories should be visible.  Effectively
this is the same as creating multiple distinct directories with
the same name the internally to sysfs the result is nicer.

I am calling the concept of a single directory that looks like multiple
directories all at the same path in the filesystem tagged directories.

For the networking namespace the set of directories whose contents I need
to filter with tags can depend on the presence or absence of hutplug
hardware or which modules are currently loaded.  Which means I need
a simple race free way to setup those directories as taged.

To achieve a race free design all tagged directories are created
and managed by sysfs itself.  The upper level code that knows what
tagged directories we need provides just two methods that enable
this:
  sb_tag() - that returns a "void *" tag that identifies the context of
	the process that mounted sysfs.
  kobject_tag(kobj) - that returns a "void *" tag that identifies the context
	a kobject should be in.
Everything else is left up to sysfs.

For the network namespace sb_tag and kobject_tag are essentially
one line functions, and look to remain that.

The work needed in sysfs is more extensive.  At each directory
or symlink creating I need to check if the directory it is being
created in is a tagged directory and if so generate the appropriate
tag to place on the sysfs_dirent.  Likewise at each symlink or
directory removal I need to check if the sysfs directory it is
being removed from is a tagged directory and if so figure out
which tag goes along with the name I am deleting.

Currently only directories which hold kobjects, and
symlinks are supported.  There is not enough information
in the current file attribute interfaces to give us anything
to discriminate on which makes it useless, and there are
no potential users which makes it an uniteresting problem
to solve.

[PATCH 24/25] sysfs: Implement sysfs_delete_link and sysfs_rename_link

[Eric W. Biederman]

When removing a symlink sysfs_remove_link does not provide
enough information to figure out which tagged directory the symlink
falls in.  So I need sysfs_delete_link which is passed the target
of the symlink to delete.

Further half the time when we are removing a symlink the code is
actually renaming the symlink but not doing so explicitly because
we don't have a symlink rename method.  So I have added sysfs_rename_link
as well.

Both of these functions now have enough information to find a symlink
in a tagged directory.  The only restriction is that they must be called
before the target kobject is renamed or deleted.  If they are called
later I loose track of which tag the target kobject was marked with
and can no longer find the old symlink to remove it.

[PATCH 25/25] driver core: Implement tagged directory support for device classes.

[Eric W. Biederman]

This patch enables tagging on every class directory if struct class
has tag_ops.

In addition device_del and device_rename were modified to use
sysfs_delete_link and sysfs_rename_link respectively to ensure
when these operations happen on devices whos classes have
tag_ops that they work properly.

Oh weird.

No great surprise that something goofed up given how many
patches were involved.  Still there shouldn't have been
any user visible differences in the patchset.

If you can narrow down which patch caused the problem that would be
great.

Otherwise I guess I will have to start looking at the code and
trying to guess what might have triggered this.

JFYI, your patchset works fine on my x86-64 test machine.  Corenelia
tests on a s390 system which does rename/move stuff with its devices and
usually gets hit first if something is wrong.  I'll scream if I find
anything suspicious while reviewing.

Thanks.

Ok.  That is weird.

Does it depend on the order in which the dentries are returned from
readdir?

Unless I made a really stupid error otherwise the two versions
of readdir should have the same semantics.

Yeah, it's a theoretical issue.  Rename/move implementation has always
depended on the parent structure not changing beneath it, but it's nice

LOCKING describes what locks should be held when entering the function,
so proper description would be something like...

	Kernel thread context, grabs sysfs_rename_mutex

It might be better to have sysfs_get_dentry_locked() and
sysfs_get_dentry() so that the latter can be used from
sysfs_update/chmod_file().

Maybe.  I didn't feel any loss in when I was writing the code.
Very few code paths actually seem to care.

Well this is weird in that it should be on sysfs_get_dentry
more then __sysfs_get_dentry but otherwise it's ok.

For rename_dir and move_dir yes.  I was updating the rules
for sysfs_get_dentry.  Which really wants it's parents to
hold that lock.

More weirdness. If I activate another dasd from the repair file
system, /dev/dasdb is created...

Same if I set the card reader online: /dev/vmrdr-0.0.000c is created as
expected.

Yes, your patch looks sane. I have no idea why it breaks stuff...

This is virtually identical to

	mutex_lock(&parent_dentry->d_inode->i_mutex);
	dentry = lookup_one_len_kern(cur->s_name, parent_dentry,
				     strlen(cur->s_name));
	mutex_unlock(&parent_dentry->d_inode->i_mutex);

right?  I don't think we need to duplicate the code here.  Or is it
needed for later multi-sb thing?

Oh.. you're killing lookup_one_len_kern().  In that case, I think the

sysfs_mutex is being grabbed twice and unlocked twice later.

Are you sure it's patch 6?  Patch 17 adds a deadlock in rename path.

It's probably better to add @sb to __sysfs_get_dentry() here too.
That will make things look clearer.

Yes. If I apply the series up to patch 5, everything's fine. If I apply

sysfs_get_dentry() return ERR_PTR() value.  Oops, sysfs_get_dentry()
implementation is wrong too.  Also, please move
sysfs_grab/release_supers() near this patch and add (a lot of)
comments there.

Other than that, I think this is as clean as this can be.  Great.

Hmmm... Please fix sysfs_get_dentry() and make it return either NULL
or PTR_ERR() values.  Returning both is pretty confusing.  Also, it
would be nice if we can use the rename_prep stuff for this too but it
might just be a wishful thinking.

Thanks.

OK, it seems that it is udevstart that has problems. (Normal udev
operation seems fine; when I trigger uevents manually, the device nodes
are created.)

I ran strace on udevstart and found that it skipped
/sys/block/dasd/dasda1 (interestingly, /dev/dasda was created after I
ran udevstart manually; no idea why this didn't happen on boot. Further
manual runs don't create /dev/dasda1, however.) ls doesn't produce
different output on the two kernels.

Here is some excerpt from the strace run with the broken kernel:

Weird.  And we have it opening the directory O_LARGEFILE.

I have no problems with the fix though.

It's probably because of struct dirent definition used by readdir().  It
may differ depending on archs and glibc version but IIRC the backend
implementation of all directory listing functions in glibc were the
same.  It opens with O_LARGEFILE and use getdents64 to get full info
then clip it to whatever limit the called API imposes.

More specifically, d_off field.  It's a bit twisted.  For the last
entry, filp->f_pos gets written into the field and gets wrapped while
being copied out to userland or in glibc.

Right.  We can do that as well. In practice in working code
there is no real difference.

There is a little extra uniformity in rolling it ourselves, but
not enough to worry about either way.

In the review/debug etc cycle it just wound up being a lot easier
to roll the code myself.

By the time we get to lookup_one_len_kern it is almost impenetrable
code in namei.c where sysfs_add_dentry tends is easier to comprehend,
and to modify for debugging.

Ugh.  That patch was supposed to remove the inner grab and release of
sysfs_mutex.  I guess I somehow failed to move that change all of the
way down to this patch.  #18 gets it right for sysfs_move_dir.  And
#20 fixes it but yes this patch is broken, and will mess up any
git-bisect badly.

So this patch needs to be respun.

I just wanted to be certain I was testing the final __sysfs_get_dentry

Welcome.  I will see what I can do with respect to cleaning up
the names.

As for the return value of sysfs_get_dentry that is tricky.  In particular
I have three specific cases the code needs to deal with.

- We got the dentry.
- We did not get the dentry because for this super block there never
  ever will be a dentry.
- Some kind of error occurred in attempting to get the dentry.

Not getting a dentry because it is impossible I am currently handling
with a NULL return.  I can equally use a specific error code to mean
that as well.  It doesn't much matter.  So I guess the hunk in
question could read:

>> +	list_for_each_entry(sb, &sysfs_fs_type.fs_supers, s_instances) {
>> +		dentry = sysfs_get_dentry(sb, sd);
>> +		if (dentry == ERR_PTR(-ENOENT))
>> +			continue;

As long as we handle that class of error differently I really don't
care.

Yeah, I think using -ENOENT is better; otherwise, my little head feels
like exploding.  :-)  More importantly, sysfs_get_dentry() seems like it
would deference ERR_PTR() value.  No?

That could do it, and glibc is crunching it.  Oh well, it is
easy enough to avoid as long as our inode numbers are small which
the idr allocator seems to ensure.

Yeah, now I think about it.  glibc throws out entries which don't fit in
the data structure specified by the called API, so it probably threw out
the last entry which has UINT_MAX in d_off which doesn't fit in the
readdir() return structure.  Using INT_MAX should be just fine as IDA
always allocates the first empty slot.  We can add paranoia check in ino
allocation path.

Re: alternative approached at tagged nodes

[Tejun Heo]

Okay, here's a different implementation of tagged nodes.  I just
compile tested it so I can guarantee it's broken.  I don't think
there's anything fundamentally wrong but I'm wrong fairly often, so if
you find something moronic, feel free to scream at me.

1. there's no enable_tagging() or fundamental restrictions on which
   types of nodes can be tagged.

2. no callback.  tags are set by sysfs_rename_dir_tagged().  symlinks
   follow the tag of its target_sd.  This limits taggable node types
   to dirs and symlinks.

3. in all paths between the root and leaf nodes, only zero or one
   tagged sd exists.  all children of a tagged sd have NULL s_tag but
   are considered tagged the same as the tagged ancestor.

4. untagged entries are visible in all supers unless there's a
   matching tagged entry overshadowing it.  tagged entry is only
   visible in the  matching tagged super.

5. due to #3, children in a directory which belong to the same tag can
   be looked up using NULL tag.  Most leaf node ops don't need to be
   changed.

6. symlink removal is different.  we either need to modify the
   interface to take target_sd or implement new one.  actually, I
   think linking symlinks to target_sd and renaming/removing them
   automagically would be pretty good.

Thanks.  What do you think?

JUST FOR BRAIN STORMING.  DO NOT APPLY.

Ok.  I think I know the feeling.

I'm confused where you are referring to but I will try answer
this.

__sysfs_get_dentry always returns a dentry or NULL if it can't
find the dentry.


I have quoted my final version of sysfs_get_dentry below for discussion.

This is the only location where could return NULL the early check
if this operation is possible.

Here we depend on the fact that sysfs_root is pointed to
by sb->s_root so we know it will always have a dentry.

And the whole patchset seems to work as well. I did my usual

Hmmm... dentry could be ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) here if the REMOVED flag test
succeeded, right?

And then dereferenced.  The REMOVED test should never succeed there, so
we're probably in the clear but still the code looks a bit scary.

Ugh right.  Now that I don't have the locking it probably makes
sense to have that path just return or branch to the exit.

Agreed.  That is a bug.  Either the removed test needs to
be removed because it can't happen or that case needs to be handled.

Thanks for spotting this one.

Mental blind spots are the worst.
