sysfs: Make sysfs_rename safe with sysfs_dirents in rbtrees.

2011-11-01T16:16:14Z

In sysfs_rename we need to remove the optimization of not calling sysfs_unlink_sibling and sysfs_link_sibling if the renamed parent directory is not changing. This optimization is no longer valid now that sysfs dirents are stored in an rbtree sorted by name. Move the assignment of s_ns before the call of sysfs_link_sibling. With no sysfs_dirent fields changing after the call of sysfs_link_sibling this allows sysfs_link_sibling to take any of the directory entries into account when it builds the rbtrees, and s_ns looks like a prime canidate to be used in the rbtree in the future.

sysfs: Remove support for tagged directories with untagged members (again)

2011-10-25T13:10:28Z

In commit 8a9ea3237e7e ("Merge git://.../davem/net-next") where my sysfs changes from the net tree merged with the sysfs rbtree changes from Mickulas Patocka the conflict resolution failed to preserve the simplified property that was the point of my changes. That is sysfs_find_dirent can now say something is a match if and only s_name and s_ns match what we are looking for, and sysfs_readdir can simply return all of the directory entries where s_ns matches the directory that we should be returning. Now that we are back to exact matches we can tweak sysfs_find_dirent and the name rb_tree to order sysfs_dirents by s_ns s_name and remove the second loop in sysfs_find_dirent. However that change seems a bit much for a conflict resolution so it can come later. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

sysfs: Reject with a warning invalid uses of tagged directories.

2011-10-19T23:24:16Z

sysfs is a core piece of ifrastructure that many people use and few people have all of the rules in their head on how to use it correctly. Add warnings for people using tagged directories improperly to that any misuses can be caught and diagnosed quickly. A single inexpensive test in sysfs_find_dirent is almost sufficient to catch all possible misuses. An additional warning is needed in sysfs_add_dirent so that we actually fail when attempting to add an untagged dirent in a tagged directory. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

sysfs: Remove support for tagged directories with untagged members.

2011-10-19T23:24:15Z

Now that /sys/class/net/bonding_masters is implemented as a tagged sysfs file we can remove support for untagged files in tagged directories. This change removes any ambiguity of what a NULL namespace value means. A NULL namespace parameter after this patch means that we are talking about an untagged sysfs dirent. This makes the sysfs code much less prone to mistakes when during maintenance. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sysfs: Implement support for tagged files in sysfs.

2011-10-19T23:24:14Z

Looking up files in sysfs is hard to understand and analyize because we currently allow placing untagged files in tagged directories. In the implementation of that we have two subtly different meanings of NULL. NULL meaning there is no tag on a directory entry and NULL meaning we don't care which namespace the lookup is performed for. This multiple uses of NULL have resulted in subtle bugs (since fixed) in the code. Currently it is only the bonding driver that needs to have an untagged file in a tagged directory. To untagle this mess I am adding support for tagged files to sysfs. Modifying the bonding driver to implement bonding_masters as a tagged file. Registering bonding_masters once for each network namespace. Then I am removing support for untagged entries in tagged sysfs directories. Resulting in code that is much easier to reason about.

sysfs: add unsigned long cast to prevent compile warning

2011-09-26T23:21:15Z

"sysfs: use rb-tree for inode number lookup" added a new printk which causes a new compile warning on s390 (and few other architectures): fs/sysfs/dir.c: In function 'sysfs_link_sibling': fs/sysfs/dir.c:63:4: warning: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 2 has type 'ino_t' [-Wform Add an explicit unsigned long cast since ino_t is an unsigned long on most architectures.

sysfs: use rb-tree for inode number lookup

2011-08-23T00:43:53Z

sysfs: use rb-tree for inode number lookup This patch makes sysfs use red-black tree for inode number lookup. Together with a previous patch to use red-black tree for name lookup, this patch makes all sysfs lookups to have O(log n) complexity. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sysfs: remove s_sibling hacks

2011-08-23T00:43:52Z

sysfs: remove s_sibling hacks s_sibling was used for three different purposes: 1) as a linked list of entries in the directory 2) as a linked list of entries to be deleted 3) as a pointer to "struct completion" This patch removes the hack and introduces new union u which holds pointers for cases 2) and 3). This change is needed for the following patch that removes s_sibling at all and replaces it with a rb tree. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
