2021-08-05sysfs: Rename struct bin_attribute member to f_mappingKrzysztof Wilczyński
There are two users of iomem_get_mapping(), the struct file and struct bin_attribute. The former has a member called "f_mapping" and the latter has a member called "mapping", and both are poniters to struct address_space. Rename struct bin_attribute member to "f_mapping" to keep both meaning and the usage consistent with other users of iomem_get_mapping().

2021-08-05sysfs: Invoke iomem_get_mapping() from the sysfs open callbackKrzysztof Wilczyński
Defer invocation of the iomem_get_mapping() to the sysfs open callback so that it can be executed as needed when the binary sysfs object has been accessed. To do that, convert the "mapping" member of the struct bin_attribute from a pointer to the struct address_space into a function pointer with a signature that requires the same return type, and then updates the sysfs_kf_bin_open() to invoke provided function should the function pointer be valid. Also, convert every invocation of iomem_get_mapping() into a function pointer assignment, therefore allowing for the iomem_get_mapping() invocation to be deferred to when the sysfs open callback runs. Thus, this change removes the need for the fs_initcalls to complete before any other sub-system that uses the iomem_get_mapping() would be able to invoke it safely without leading to a failure and an Oops related to an invalid iomem_get_mapping() access.

2021-01-12sysfs: Support zapping of binary attr mmapsDaniel Vetter
We want to be able to revoke pci mmaps so that the same access rules applies as for /dev/kmem. Revoke support for devmem was added in 3234ac664a87 ("/dev/mem: Revoke mappings when a driver claims the region"). The simplest way to achieve this is by having the same filp->f_mapping for all mappings, so that unmap_mapping_range can find them all, no matter through which file they've been created. Since this must be set at open time we need sysfs support for this. Add an optional mapping parameter bin_attr, which is only consulted when there's also an mmap callback, since without mmap support allowing to adjust the ->f_mapping makes no sense.

2020-10-02sysfs: Add sysfs_emit and sysfs_emit_at to format sysfs outputJoe Perches
Output defects can exist in sysfs content using sprintf and snprintf. sprintf does not know the PAGE_SIZE maximum of the temporary buffer used for outputting sysfs content and it's possible to overrun the PAGE_SIZE buffer length. Add a generic sysfs_emit function that knows that the size of the temporary buffer and ensures that no overrun is done. Add a generic sysfs_emit_at function that can be used in multiple call situations that also ensures that no overrun is done. Validate the output buffer argument to be page aligned. Validate the offset len argument to be within the PAGE_SIZE buf.

2020-07-01driver-core: Introduce DEVICE_ATTR_ADMIN_{RO,RW}Dan Williams
A common pattern for using plain DEVICE_ATTR() instead of DEVICE_ATTR_RO() and DEVICE_ATTR_RW() is for attributes that want to limit read to only root. I.e. many users of DEVICE_ATTR() are specifying 0400 or 0600 for permissions. Given the expectation that CAP_SYS_ADMIN is needed to access these sensitive attributes and an explicit helper with the _ADMIN_ identifier for DEVICE_ATTR_ADMIN_{RO,RW}. Cc: "Rafael J.

2020-04-05sysfs: remove redundant __compat_only_sysfs_link_entry_to_kobj fnLinus Torvalds
Commit 9255782f7061 ("sysfs: Wrap __compat_only_sysfs_link_entry_to_kobj function to change the symlink name") made this function a wrapper around a new non-underscored function, which is a bit odd. The normal naming convention is the other way around: the underscored function is the wrappee, and the non-underscored function is the wrapper. There's only one single user (well, two call-sites in that user) of the more limited double underscore version of this function, so just remove the oddly named wrapper entirely and just add the extra NULL argument to the user. I considered just doing that in the merge, but that tends to make history really hard to read.

2020-02-26sysfs: add sysfs_change_owner()Christian Brauner
Add a helper to change the owner of sysfs objects. This function will be used to correctly account for kobject ownership changes, e.g. when moving network devices between network namespaces. This mirrors how a kobject is added through driver core which in its guts is done via kobject_add_internal() which in summary creates the main directory via create_dir(), populates that directory with the groups associated with the ktype of the kobject (if any) and populates the directory with the basic attributes associated with the ktype of the kobject (if any). These are the basic steps that are associated with adding a kobject in sysfs. Any additional properties are added by the specific subsystem itself (not by driver core) after it has registered the device. So for the example of network devices, a network device will e.g. register a queue subdirectory under the basic sysfs directory for the network device and than further subdirectories within that queues subdirectory. But that is all specific to network devices and they call the corresponding sysfs functions to do that directly when they create those queue objects. So anything that a subsystem adds outside of what driver core does must also be changed by it (That's already true for removal of files it created outside of driver core.) and it's the same for ownership changes.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected.

According to the sysfs header file: "The returned value will replace static permissions defined in struct attribute or struct bin_attribute." but this isn't the case, as is_visible is only called on struct attribute only. This patch introduces a new is_bin_visible() function to implement the same functionality for binary attributes, and updates documentation accordingly.

2014-11-07sysfs/kernfs: allow attributes to request write buffer be pre-allocated.NeilBrown
md/raid allows metadata management to be performed in user-space. A various times, particularly on device failure, the metadata needs to be updated before further writes can be permitted. This means that the user-space program which updates metadata much not block on writeout, and so must not allocate memory. mlockall(MCL_CURRENT|MCL_FUTURE) and pre-allocation can avoid all memory allocation issues for user-memory, but that does not help kernel memory. Several kernel objects can be pre-allocated. e.g. files opened before any writes to the array are permitted. However some kernel allocation happens in places that cannot be pre-allocated. In particular, writes to sysfs files (to tell md that it can now allow writes to the array) allocate a buffer using GFP_KERNEL. This patch allows attributes to be marked as "PREALLOC". In that case the maximal buffer is allocated when the file is opened, and then used on each write instead of allocating a new buffer. As the same buffer is now shared for all writes on the same file description, the mutex is extended to cover full use of the buffer including the copy_from_user(). The new __ATTR_PREALLOC() 'or's a new flag in to the 'mode', which is inspected by sysfs_add_file_mode_ns() to determine if the file should be marked as requiring prealloc. Despite the comment, we *do* use ->seq_show together with ->prealloc in this patch. The next patch fixes that.

2014-02-07sysfs, kobject: add sysfs wrapper for kernfs_enable_ns()Tejun Heo
Currently, kobject is invoking kernfs_enable_ns() directly. This is fine now as sysfs and kernfs are enabled and disabled together. If sysfs is disabled, kernfs_enable_ns() is switched to dummy implementation too and everything is fine; however, kernfs will soon have its own config option CONFIG_KERNFS and !SYSFS && KERNFS will be possible, which can make kobject call into non-dummy kernfs_enable_ns() with NULL kernfs_node pointers leading to an oops. Introduce sysfs_enable_ns() which is a wrapper around kernfs_enable_ns() so that it can be made a noop depending only on CONFIG_SYSFS regardless of the planned CONFIG_KERNFS.

2014-02-07kernfs, sysfs, driver-core: implement kernfs_remove_self() and its wrappersTejun Heo
Sometimes it's necessary to implement a node which wants to delete nodes including itself. This isn't straightforward because of kernfs active reference. While a file operation is in progress, an active reference is held and kernfs_remove() waits for all such references to drain before completing. For a self-deleting node, this is a deadlock as kernfs_remove() ends up waiting for an active reference that itself is sitting on top of. This currently is worked around in the sysfs layer using sysfs_schedule_callback() which makes such removals asynchronous. While it works, it's rather cumbersome and inherently breaks synchronicity of the operation - the file operation which triggered the operation may complete before the removal is finished (or even started) and the removal may fail asynchronously. If a removal operation is immmediately followed by another operation which expects the specific name to be available (e.g. removal followed by rename onto the same name), there's no way to make the latter operation reliable. The thing is there's no inherent reason for this to be asynchrnous. All that's necessary to do this synchronous is a dedicated operation which drops its own active ref and deactivates self. This patch implements kernfs_remove_self() and its wrappers in sysfs and driver core. kernfs_remove_self() is to be called from one of the file operations, drops the active ref the task is holding, removes the self node, and restores active ref to the dead node so that the ref is balanced afterwards. __kernfs_remove() is updated so that it takes an early exit if the target node is already fully removed so that the active ref restored by kernfs_remove_self() after removal doesn't confuse the deactivation path. This makes implementing self-deleting nodes very easy. The normal removal path doesn't even need to be changed to use kernfs_remove_self() for the self-deleting node. The method can invoke kernfs_remove_self() on itself before proceeding the normal removal path. kernfs_remove() invoked on the node by the normal deletion path will simply be ignored. This will replace sysfs_schedule_callback(). A subtle feature of sysfs_schedule_callback() is that it collapses multiple invocations - even if multiple removals are triggered, the removal callback is run only once. An equivalent effect can be achieved by testing the return value of kernfs_remove_self() - only the one which gets %true return value should proceed with actual deletion. All other instances of kernfs_remove_self() will wait till the enclosing kernfs operation which invoked the winning instance of kernfs_remove_self() finishes and then return %false. This trivially makes all users of kernfs_remove_self() automatically show correct synchronous behavior even when there are multiple concurrent operations - all "echo 1 > delete" instances will finish only after the whole operation is completed by one of the instances. Note that manipulation of active ref is implemented in separate public functions - kernfs_[un]break_active_protection(). kernfs_remove_self() is the only user at the moment but this will be used to cater to more complex cases. v2: For !CONFIG_SYSFS, dummy version kernfs_remove_self() was missing and sysfs_remove_file_self() had incorrect return type. Fix it. Reported by kbuild test bot. v3: kernfs_[un]break_active_protection() separated out from kernfs_remove_self() and exposed as public API.

kernfs has just been separated out from sysfs and we're already in full conflict mode. Nothing can make the situation any worse. Let's take the chance to name things properly. This patch performs the following renames. * s/sysfs_elem_dir/kernfs_elem_dir/ * s/sysfs_elem_symlink/kernfs_elem_symlink/ * s/sysfs_elem_attr/kernfs_elem_file/ * s/sysfs_dirent/kernfs_node/ * s/sd/kn/ in kernfs proper * s/parent_sd/parent/ * s/target_sd/target/ * s/dir_sd/parent/ * s/to_sysfs_dirent()/rb_to_kn()/ * misc renames of local vars when they conflict with the above Because md, mic and gpio dig into sysfs details, this patch ends up modifying them. All are sysfs_dirent renames and trivial. While we can avoid these by introducing a dummy wrapping struct sysfs_dirent around kernfs_node, given the limited usage outside kernfs and sysfs proper, I don't think such workaround is called for. This patch is strictly rename only and doesn't introduce any functional difference. - mic / gpio renames were missing. Spotted by kbuild test robot.

2013-11-27sysfs: drop kobj_ns_type handling, take #2Tejun Heo
The way namespace tags are implemented in sysfs is more complicated than necessary. As each tag is a pointer value and required to be non-NULL under a namespace enabled parent, there's no need to record separately what type each tag is. If multiple namespace types are needed, which currently aren't, we can simply compare the tag to a set of allowed tags in the superblock assuming that the tags, being pointers, won't have the same value across multiple types. This patch rips out kobj_ns_type handling from sysfs. sysfs now has an enable switch to turn on namespace under a node. If enabled, all children are required to have non-NULL namespace tags and filtered against the super_block's tag. kobject namespace determination is now performed in lib/kobject.c::create_dir() making sysfs_read_ns_type() unnecessary. The sanity checks are also moved. create_dir() is restructured to ease such addition. This removes most kobject namespace knowledge from sysfs proper which will enable proper separation and layering of sysfs. This is the second try. The first one was cb26a311578e ("sysfs: drop kobj_ns_type handling") which tried to automatically enable namespace if there are children with non-NULL namespace tags; however, it was broken for symlinks as they should inherit the target's tag iff namespace is enabled in the parent. This led to namespace filtering enabled incorrectly for wireless net class devices through phy80211 symlinks and thus network configuration failure. a1212d278c05 ("Revert "sysfs: drop kobj_ns_type handling"") reverted the commit. This shouldn't introduce any behavior changes, for real. v2: Dummy implementation of sysfs_enable_ns() for !CONFIG_SYSFS was missing and caused build failure. Reported by kbuild test robot.
