[RESEND][PATCH 00/11] sysfs tagged directories

[RESEND][PATCH 00/11] sysfs tagged directories

[Benjamin Thery]

This is still the same port of Eric Biederman's patchset to implement
tagged directories in sysfs that was discussed a few days ago.

This time it applies on top of 2.6.26-rc1, 
which includes a fix from Daniel Lezcano to fix net device renaming
for sysfs (and of course all the network namespaces stuff that was 
committed in net-2.6.26).

This patchset still contains the patch from Serge Hallyn that implements
tagging for user namespaces.

It also contains a patch from Daniel Lezcano which allows to have net 
devices with the same name in two different network namespaces.


Here is what I said when I sent the patchset a few days ago:

> I re-post this patchset as most of network namespace work has been
> merged in net-2.6.26 and the issue is it is currently easy to test
> because of this missing piece.
> (today sysfs must be disabled to test netns).
>
>
>This feature is needed for network namespaces where we have to be able
>to have multiple network devices with the same name in different network
>namespaces. 
>
>On top of that, the final patch from Serge Hallyn also implements 
>tagging for user namespaces.
>
> Here is the announcement Eric wrote back in December to introduce his 
> patchset:

> "
> Now that we have network namespace support merged it is time to
> revisit the sysfs support so we can remove the dependency on !SYSFS.
> [...]
> The bulk of the patches are the changes to allow multiple sysfs
> superblocks.
>
> Then comes the tagged directory sysfs support which uses information
> captured at mount time to decide which object with which tag will
> appear in a directory.
>
> Then the support for renaming and deleting objects where the source
> may be ambiguous because of tagging.

> Then finally the network namespace support so it is clear how all

[PATCH 01/11] sysfs: Support for preventing unmounts.

[Benjamin Thery]

sysfs: Support for preventing unmounts.

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 06/11] sysfs: Implement sysfs tagged directory support.

[Benjamin Thery]

sysfs: Implement sysfs tagged directory support.

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 but 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 hotplug
hardware or which modules are currently loaded.  Which means I need
a simple race free way to setup those directories as tagged.

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 uninteresting problem
to solve.

[PATCH 07/11] sysfs: Implement sysfs_delete_link and sysfs_rename_link

[Benjamin Thery]

sysfs: Implement sysfs_delete_link and sysfs_rename_link

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 08/11] driver core: Implement tagged directory support for device classes.

[Benjamin Thery]

driver core: Implement tagged directory support for device classes.

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 whose classes have
tag_ops that they work properly.

[PATCH 09/11] netns: Enable tagging for net_class directories in sysfs

[Benjamin Thery]

net: Enable tagging for net_class directories in sysfs

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.

[PATCH 10/11] avoid kobject name conflict with different namespaces

[Benjamin Thery]

The renaming of a kobject will fail if there is another kobject
with the same name belonging to another namespace.

This patch makes the kobject lookup in kobject_rename to check if
the object exists _and_ belongs to the same namespace.

Ok so we are dealing with fallout from:

commit 34358c26a2c96b2a068dc44e0ac602106a466bce
Author: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
Date:   Wed Oct 24 16:52:31 2007 -0700

    kobject: check for duplicate names in kobject_rename
    
    This should catch any duplicate names before we try to tell sysfs to
    rename the object.  This happens a lot with older versions of udev and
    the network rename scripts.

Which added the check in kobject_rename to prevent problems, and
seems to be causing a few.

I believe this earlier? patch addresses the problem:

commit c8d90dca3211966ba5189e0f3d4bccd558d9ae08

    [NET] dev_change_name: ignore changes to same name
    
    Prevent error/backtrace from dev_rename() when changing
    name of network device to the same name. This is a common
    situation with udev and other scripts that bind addr to device.
    
    Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org>
    Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>


And the challenge is that we are getting false positives in the check
to see if renames will fail.

	/* see if this name is already in use */
	if (kobj->kset) {
		struct kobject *temp_kobj;
		temp_kobj = kset_find_obj(kobj->kset, new_name);
		if (temp_kobj) {
			printk(KERN_WARNING "kobject '%s' can not be renamed 
				"to '%s' as '%s' is already in existance.\n",
				kobject_name(kobj), new_name, new_name);
			kobject_put(temp_kobj);
			return -EINVAL;
		}
	}

If the kobject layer wants to perform the test above how do we support
it by giving it enough information to perform the test without false
positives.

Certainly we can go to the sysfs layer but that has the problem
of being a layering violation and not working when sysfs is not
compiled in.  Ouch!


I believe what the sanity check should look like is:
	/* see if this name is already in use */
	if (kobj->kset) {
		struct kobject *temp_kobj;
*               void *tag;
*               tag = kobject_tag(kobj);
*		temp_kobj = kset_find_tagged_obj(kobj->kset, tag, new_name);
*		if (temp_kobj && (temp_kobj != kobj)) {
			printk(KERN_WARNING "kobject '%s' can not be renamed 
				"to '%s' as '%s' is already in existance.\n",
				kobject_name(kobj), new_name, new_name);
			kobject_put(temp_kobj);
			return -EINVAL;
		}
	}

The tricky part is how do we get to kobject_tag (from the
sysfs_tagged_dir_operations).

Unless there is another path I think placing an additional pointer in
kobj_type so we can find it through ktype is the simplest solution.
Although using the kset is also sane.

The easiest and most trivially correct thing to do would be to simply
remove the unnecessary check from kobject_rename.  We perform the
check at the upper levels in the network anyway.  And kobject_rename
is only used by the network stack.

....

As for the actual patch itself I have two nits to pick.

The new name should be compared with sysfs_creation_tag in
case we are dealing with the case of renaming across network
namespaces.    We could use sysfs_creation_tag for both as
the only time the dirent_tag and creation_tag should differ
is during a rename operation.

Either I am blind or this implementation breaks when we are using
kobjects and sysfs support is not compiled in.  It might be that
we don't do this work but still in principle this is a small bug.

Wireless uses it also for some things, and it requires that it fail if a
duplicate is found.  I thought that s390 also used it, but I don't see
that usage in the tree anymore, perhaps they switched to something else.

Well yes we are dealing with a pile of seemingly unnecessary layers,
that are attempting to add uniformity where no uniformity existed.
That is an easy recipe for ick.

Looks like it, that use is brand new, and at first glance I thought
it was another instance of the device_rename case that kobject uses.
Apparently not.

It looks like getting the wireless devices into the network namespace
is going to be interesting.  Since this phy name is user controllable
and shows up in rtnetlink messages it definitely appears to belong in
the network namespace. 

Virtual/logical devices are such a pain.

....

Given that kobject_rename is growing users we definitely need to
fix it so a noop rename does not return -EINVAL.

i.e. if (temp_kobj && (temp_kobj != kobj)) return -EINVAL.
instead of just if (temp_kobj) return -EINVAL;

That is the device_move -> kobject_move case.  Very similar (and nice
if we can figure out how to combine them).

> good luck,

Thanks.  It looks like we are just about there.

Hopefully we can get this merged soon so there won't be many more sets
of shifting requirements to chase.

Sounds like a good idea. I can test the _move() stuff (after I've
managed to find some time to try this patchset...)

Do you remember if we have ever sorted out the race between _move
and module unload/directory teardown at the sysfs level?

Ok the conversation was:
"[Bluez-devel] Oops involving RFCOMM and sysfs"
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/28/87

Following the thread through it appears the bug was fixed
and it wasn't the race Al Viro was concerned about.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/9/59

And it looks like all of the symptoms have been corrected.
Yeah!

Which implies to me that kobject_move has the same locking
restrictions that kobject_rename has.  I.e. the upper level
better do what it takes to make the operation safe.

Which says that at least for now not worrying about the locking
between sysfs_move_dir/sysfs_rename_dir and sysfs_remove_dir is ok.
As we require the upper levels not to do that.

Which says that we may be able to figure out how to merge
sysfs_move_dir and sysfs_rename_dir.  It is still a nasty business
though.

Looking at this a little further kobject_rename is a complete noop
when sysfs support is not compiled in.  That is the kobject does not
get renamed, even if the higher level objects do.

This makes the wireless dependency on an error code from kobject_rename
completely bogus as the kobject layer is not prepared to give any kind of
reliable result, and it makes kobject_rename completely bogus if sysfs
support is not compiled in.

Further there is no locking to guarantee renames are atomic
or mutually exclusive at the kobject level.

With no locking and code that does nothing in the absence of sysfs
attempting to check renames for validity at the kobject level (when
renames don't happen at the kobject level) is totally bogus.

Since renames don't happen at the kobject level checking them for
sanity at the kobject level makes no sense.

[PATCH] wireless: Add missing locking to cfg80211_dev_rename

[Eric W. Biederman]

device_rename only performs useful and race free validity
checking at the optional sysfs level so depending on it
for all of the validity checking in cfg80211_dev_rename
is racy.

Instead implement all of the needed validity checking
and locking in cfg80211_dev_rename.

I'm about as far as you can get from either a sysfs/kobject or network
expert, but both of these patches as well as your general concept that
renames should be handled at sysfs seem to me to make perfect sense.

[PATCH] Fix kobject_rename and !CONFIG_SYSFS

[Eric W. Biederman]

When looking at kobject_rename I found two bugs with
that exist when sysfs support is disabled in the kernel.

kobject_rename does not change the name on the kobject when
sysfs support is not compiled in.

kobject_rename without locking attempts to check the
validity of a rename operation, which the kobject layer
simply does not have the infrastructure to do so.

This patch documents the previously unstated requirement of
kobject_rename that is the responsibility of the caller to
provide mutual exclusion and to be certain that the new_name
for the kobject is valid.

This patch modifies sysfs_rename_dir in !CONFIG_SYSFS case
to call kobject_set_name to actually change the kobject_name.

This patch removes the bogus and misleading check in kobject_rename
that attempts to see if a rename is valid.  The check is bogus
because we do not have the proper locking.  The check is misleading
because it looks like we can and do perform useful checking at the
kobject level that we don't.

The users in net/core/dev.c already have all of the necessary checks
in place and don't care.  The other use in net/core/wireless.c 
as originally implemented is incorrect because it performs no locking
and a simple patch has been sent that adds the necessary locking
and sanity checks there.  Ensuring this patch will not have an
effect on users of kobject_rename or device_rename.

Eric, Randy Dunlap has found that this patch breaks the build when
CONFIG_SYSFS is not enabled.  Can you please fix it up before I send it
to Linus?

The exact error is:

I will take a look in the morning and see if I can see what is wrong.

Which tree was this error against?  I thought I tested this case,
and I'm wondering if there might be another patch that is hiding
kobject_set_name.

Argh, headers "cross-dependencies":

* linux/kobject.h includes linux/sysfs.h before defining
   kobject_set_name()

* linux/sysfs.h needs to include linux/kobject.h to find
   kobject_set_name() definition (for inlined sysfs_rename_dir() when
   CONFIG_SYSFS=n)


sysfs_rename_dir() is only called by kobject.c, kobject_rename().
I guess this kind of patch is not acceptable to fix the depency?

Ick, no.  I'd rather add a kobject_set_name() function prototype to
sysfs.h in this case, that should remove the error, right?

[PATCH] Fix kobject_rename and !CONFIG_SYSFS v2

[Eric W. Biederman]

When looking at kobject_rename I found two bugs with
that exist when sysfs support is disabled in the kernel.

kobject_rename does not change the name on the kobject when
sysfs support is not compiled in.

kobject_rename without locking attempts to check the
validity of a rename operation, which the kobject layer
simply does not have the infrastructure to do.

This patch documents the previously unstated requirement of
kobject_rename that is the responsibility of the caller to
provide mutual exclusion and to be certain that the new_name
for the kobject is valid.

This patch modifies sysfs_rename_dir in !CONFIG_SYSFS case
to call kobject_set_name to actually change the kobject_name.

This patch removes the bogus and misleading check in kobject_rename
that attempts to see if a rename is valid.  The check is bogus
because we do not have the proper locking.  The check is misleading
because it looks like we can and do perform checking at the kobject
level that we don't.

Changelog:
v2:	Added a declaration of kboject_set_name to sysfs.h
	so the code actually compiles with !CONFIG_SYSFS.

[PATCH] Fix kobject_rename and !CONFIG_SYSFS v3

[Eric W. Biederman]

When looking at kobject_rename I found two bugs with
that exist when sysfs support is disabled in the kernel.

kobject_rename does not change the name on the kobject when
sysfs support is not compiled in.

kobject_rename without locking attempts to check the
validity of a rename operation, which the kobject layer
simply does not have the infrastructure to do.

This patch documents the previously unstated requirement of
kobject_rename that is the responsibility of the caller to
provide mutual exclusion and to be certain that the new_name
for the kobject is valid.

This patch modifies sysfs_rename_dir in !CONFIG_SYSFS case
to call kobject_set_name to actually change the kobject_name.

This patch removes the bogus and misleading check in kobject_rename
that attempts to see if a rename is valid.  The check is bogus
because we do not have the proper locking.  The check is misleading
because it looks like we can and do perform checking at the kobject
level that we don't.

Changelog:
v3:	Documentation typo fixes

v2:	Added a declaration of kboject_set_name to sysfs.h
	so the code actually compiles with !CONFIG_SYSFS.

	Unscrambling the header dependencies so everything looks
	beautiful is a project for another day.

Duplicating the kobject_set_name() declaration in sysfs.h is rather a hack.

It'd be better to move it into a new header file, included by both
sysfs.h and kobject.h.  Perhaps there are other declarations which can
be moved with it.

A bit.  It really isn't worse then a struct declaration like struct kobject;

My gut feel says that sysfs.h should include kobject.h instead of the
other way around.

However it gets reorganized, it is an entirely separate problem
from the one this patch sets out to solve and so should go in
a different patch.

umm, well, actually, it's a problem which your patch introduces, by adding a
new dependency.

uninlining sysfs_rename_dir() would be a sensible solution.

This is also my feeling.
To do this, we need to move "struct attributes" related definitions to 
kboject.h, and fix some .c files that don't include sysfs.h as they 
should (sysfs.h was included indirectly via kojbect.h in these files: eg 
kernel/sched.c, fs/partitions/check.c).

It is inlined only when CONFIG_SYSFS=n. When sysfs is enabled 
sysfs_rename_dir() is compiled from fs/sysfs/dir.c

Uninlining it will require us to find an appropriate .c file to put it
in: we can't put it in fs/sysfs/dir.c. It is not built if CONFIG_SYSFS 
is disabled.

Well yes, that's the problem.  I stuck it in lib/kobject.c but ugh.

I guess we could make it a macro and quickly run away.

That's what I did first. But I thought it was worse than the above
solution.
Anyway, adding kobject_set_name() to sysfs.h did fix the error.

I figure sorting out the headers is worth while, but that is
another project.

Because kobject.h includes sysfs.h we can't get the declarations
out of sync which is the really important part.

[PATCH 11/11] sysfs: user namespaces: add ns to user_struct

[Benjamin Thery]

Add the user_namespace to user_struct.

Add a user_namespace to the sysfs_tag struct.

Mark the /sys/kernel/uids directory to be tagged so that processes in
different user namespaces can remount /sys and see their own uid
listings.

Without this patch, having CONFIG_FAIR_SCHED=y makes user namespaces
unusable, because when you
  clone(CLONE_NEWUSER)
it will auto-create the root userid and try to create
/sys/kernel/uids/0.  Since that already exists from the parent user
namespace, the create fails, and the clone misleadingly ends up
returning -ENOMEM.

This patch fixes the issue by allowing each user namespace to remount
/sys, and having /sys filter the /sys/kernel/uid/ entries by user
namespace.

Benjamin,

thanks for reposting.  Please do drop this patch from the set, though.
A slimmer version of it really is needed asap, but this version as
Eric had pointed out has some holdouts from my previous approach, which
I need to drop.

thanks,
-serge

Does this all work properly with both CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED enabled
and disabled?

Can you show some outputs of 'tree' in both cases on the /sys/class/net/
directory?

Yes.
I tested both cases and with my limited knowledge of sysfs (I'm mostly
interested in /sys/class/net population), this looked fine to me.

Sure.
I hope you don't mind if I'll send them tomorrow I'm back home right now
and have limited access to my test machines.

Here is the output from an ls -l of /sys/class/net. I tryed with 
different configurations and checked the renamed network devices are 
propagated to the sysfs.

Re: [RESEND][PATCH 00/11] sysfs tagged directories

[Benjamin Thery]

So, what is the status for this patchset?

So far, we discussed patch 10 a bit and Eric found a better way to fix
the kobject_rename() issue. But there hasn't been much discussion on the
rest of the patchset this time.

Does this mean that there is no strong objection against it now?
Do you think the approach is suitable for what we're aiming to?

Reminder: We need this for network namespaces. Without it network
namespaces testing is still a bit complicated in 2.6.26 (need to disable
sysfs). Also, Serge uses it too for user namespaces.

Should I resend it one more time ported on top of a more recent tree in
the hope it can be merged?
BTW which tree is the best? Linus', Greg's, -mm?

Regards,
Benjamin
