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 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. Please read the following message for more info. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/510293Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

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. This is in preparation of object reference simplification. Signed-off-by: -

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. Where possible, name dereferences are converted to use sd->s_name. sysfs_symlink->link_name and sysfs_get_name() are unused now and removed. This change allows symlink to be implemented using sysfs_dirent tree proper, which is the last remaining dentry-dependent sysfs walk. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

Error handling in sysfs_rename_dir() was broken. * When lookup_one_len() fails, 0 is returned. * If parent inode check fails, returns with inode mutex and rename rwsem held. This patch fixes the above bugs and flattens error handling such that it's more readable and easier to modify. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

Separate out idr_mark_full() from sub_alloc() and make marking the allocated slot full the responsibility of idr_get_new_above_int(). Allocation part of idr_get_new_above_int() is renamed to idr_get_empty_slot(). New idr_get_new_above_int() allocates a slot using the function, install the user pointer and marks it full using idr_mark_full(). This change doesn't introduce any behavior change. This will be used by ida. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

The checks if the device's parent is in the right state done in drivers/base/power/suspend.c and drivers/base/power/resume.c serve no particular purpose, since if the parent is in a wrong power state, the device's suspend or resume callbacks are supposed to return an error anyway. Moreover, they are also useless from the sanity checking point of view, because they rely on the code being checked to set dev->parent->power.power_state.event appropriately, which need not happen if that code is buggy. For these reasons they can be removed. Signed-off-by:

The suspend routines should be called for every device during a system sleep transition, regardless of the device's state, so that drivers can regard these method calls as notifications that the system is about to go to sleep, rather than as directives to put their devices into the 'off' state. This is documented in Documentation/power/devices.txt and is already done in the core resume code, so it seems reasonable to make the core suspend code behave accordingly. Signed-off-by:

The prev_state member of struct dev_pm_info (defined in include/linux/pm.h) is only used during a resume to check if the device's state before the suspend was 'off', in which case the device is not resumed. However, in such cases the decision whether or not to resume the device should be made on the driver level and the resume callbacks from the device's bus and class should be executed anyway (the may be needed for some things other than just powering on the device).

Every file should include the headers containing the prototypes for it's global functions. Since the GNU C compiler is now able to detect that the function prototype of devres_release_all() in the header and the actual function disagree regarding the return value, this patch also fixes this bug.

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. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:Lennart Poettering <mzxreary@0pointer.de> Signed-off-by:

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.

This is a hybrid version of the patch to add the LZO1X compression algorithm to the kernel. Nitin and myself have merged the best parts of the various patches to form this version which we're both happy with (and are jointly signing off). The performance of this version is equivalent to the original minilzo code it was based on. Bytecode comparisons have also been made on ARM, i386 and x86_64 with favourable results. There are several users of LZO lined up including jffs2, crypto and reiser4 since its much faster than zlib. Signed-off-by:
