sysfs: Complain bitterly about attempts to remove files from nonexistent directories.

2012-01-24T20:12:32Z

Recently an OOPS was observed from the usb serial io_ti driver when it tried to remove sysfs directories. Upon investigation it turns out this driver was always buggy and that a recent sysfs change had stopped guarding itself against removing attributes from sysfs directories that had already been removed. :( Historically we have been silent about attempting to files from nonexistent sysfs directories and have politely returned error codes. That has resulted in people writing broken code that ignores the error codes. Issue a kernel WARNING and a stack backtrace to make it clear in no uncertain terms that abusing sysfs is not ok, and the callers need to fix their code. This change transforms the io_ti OOPS into a more comprehensible error message and stack backtrace. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

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 This optimization is no longer valid now that sysfs dirents are stored in an rbtree sorted by name.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
