d723a92dd4 sysfs/bin: Fix size handling overflow for bin_attribute
While looking at the code, I noticed that bin_attribute read() and write()
ops copy the inode size into an int for futher comparisons.

Some bin_attributes can be fairly large. For example, pci creates some for
BARs set to the BAR size and giant BARs are around the corner, so this is
going to break something somewhere eventually.

Let's use the right type.

[adjust for seqfile conversions, only needed for bin_read() - gkh]

785a162d14 sysfs: make sysfs_file_ops() follow ignore_lockdep flag
375b611e60 ("sysfs: remove sysfs_buffer->ops") introduced
sysfs_file_ops() which determines the associated file operation of a
given sysfs_dirent.  As file ops access should be protected by an
active reference, the new function includes a lockdep assertion on the
sysfs_dirent; unfortunately, I forgot to take attr->ignore_lockdep
flag into account and the lockdep assertion trips spuriously for files
which opt out from active reference lockdep checking.

3124eb1679 sysfs: merge regular and bin file handling
With the previous changes, sysfs regular file code is ready to handle
bin files too.  This patch makes bin files share the regular file
path.

* sysfs_create/remove_bin_file() are moved to fs/sysfs/file.c.

* sysfs_init_inode() is updated to use the new sysfs_bin_operations
  instead of bin_fops for bin files.

* fs/sysfs/bin.c and the related pieces are removed.

This patch shouldn't introduce any behavior difference to bin file
accesses.

Overall, this unification reduces the amount of duplicate logic, makes
behaviors more consistent and paves the road for building simpler and
more versatile interface which will allow other subsystems to make use
of sysfs for their pseudo filesystems.

v2: Stale fs/sysfs/bin.c reference dropped from
    Documentation/DocBook/filesystems.tmpl.  Reported by kbuild test

73d9714627 sysfs: copy bin mmap support from fs/sysfs/bin.c to fs/sysfs/file.c
sysfs bin file handling will be merged into the regular file support.
This patch copies mmap support from bin so that fs/sysfs/file.c can
handle mmapping bin files.

The code is copied mostly verbatim with the following updates.

* ->mmapped and ->vm_ops are added to sysfs_open_file and bin_buffer
  references are replaced with sysfs_open_file ones.

* Symbols are prefixed with sysfs_.

* sysfs_unmap_bin_file() grabs sysfs_open_dirent and traverses
  ->files.  Invocation of this function is added to
  sysfs_addrm_finish().

* sysfs_bin_mmap() is added to sysfs_bin_operations.

sysfs bin file handling will be merged into the regular file support.
This patch prepares the write path.

bin file write is almost identical to regular file write except that

A new file_operations struct sysfs_bin_operations is added, which
currently only hosts sysfs_write_file() and generic_file_llseek().

13c589d5b0 sysfs: use seq_file when reading regular files
sysfs read path implements its own buffering scheme between userland
and kernel callbacks, which essentially is a degenerate duplicate of
seq_file.  This patch replaces the custom read buffering
implementation in sysfs with seq_file.

While the amount of code reduction is small, this reduces low level
hairiness and enables future development of a new versatile API based
on seq_file so that sysfs features can be shared with other
subsystems.

As write path was already converted to not use sysfs_open_file->page,
this patch makes ->page and ->count unused and removes them.

Userland behavior remains the same except for some extreme corner
cases - e.g. sysfs will now regenerate the content each time a file is
read after a non-contiguous seek whereas the original code would keep
using the same content.  While this is a userland visible behavior
change, it is extremely unlikely to be noticeable and brings sysfs
behavior closer to that of procfs.

8ef445f080 sysfs: use transient write buffer
There isn't much to be gained by keeping around kernel buffer while a
file is open especially as the read path planned to be converted to
use seq_file and won't use the buffer.  This patch makes
sysfs_write_file() use per-write transient buffer instead of
sysfs_open_file->page.

This simplifies the write path, enables removing sysfs_open_file->page
once read path is updated and will help merging bin file write path
which already requires the use of a transient buffer due to a locking
order issue.

As the function comments of flush_write_buffer() and
sysfs_write_buffer() are being updated anyway, reformat them so that
they're more conventional.

v2: Use min_t() instead of min() in sysfs_write_file() to avoid build
    warning on arm.  Reported by build test robot.

aea585ef8f sysfs: remove sysfs_buffer->needs_read_fill
->needs_read_fill is used to implement the following behaviors.

1. Ensure buffer filling on the first read.
2. Force buffer filling after a write.
3. Force buffer filling after a successful poll.

However, #2 and #3 don't really work as sysfs doesn't reset file
position.  While the read buffer would be refilled, the next read
would continue from the position after the last read or write,
requiring an explicit seek to the start for it to be useful, which
makes ->needs_read_fill superflous as read buffer is always refilled
if f_pos == 0.

Update sysfs_read_file() to test buffer->page for #1 instead and
remove ->needs_read_fill.  While this changes behavior in extreme
corner cases - e.g. re-reading a sysfs file after seeking to non-zero
position after a write or poll, it's highly unlikely to lead to actual
breakage.  This change is to prepare for using seq_file in the read
path.

While at it, reformat a comment in fill_write_buffer().

bcdde7e221 sysfs: make __sysfs_remove_dir() recursive
Currently, sysfs directory removal is inconsistent in that it would
remove any files directly under it but wouldn't recurse into
directories.  Thanks to group subdirectories, this doesn't even match
with kobject boundaries.  sysfs is in the process of being separated
out so that it can be used by multiple subsystems and we want to have
a consistent behavior - either removal of a sysfs_dirent should remove
every descendant entries or none instead of something inbetween.

This patch implements proper recursive removal in
__sysfs_remove_dir().  The function now walks its subtree in a
post-order walk to remove all descendants.

This is a behavior change but kobject / driver layer, which currently
is the only consumer, has already been updated to handle duplicate
removal attempts, so nothing should be broken after this change.

26ea12dec0 kobject: grab an extra reference on kobject->sd to allow duplicate deletes
sysfs currently has a rather weird behavior regarding removals.  A
directory removal would delete all files directly under it but
wouldn't recurse into subdirectories, which, while a bit inconsistent,
seems to make sense at the first glance as each directory is
supposedly associated with a kobject and each kobject can take care of
the directory deletion; however, this doesn't really hold as we have
groups which can be directories without a kobject associated with it
and require explicit deletions.

We're in the process of separating out sysfs from kboject / driver
core and want a consistent behavior.  A removal should delete either
only the specified node or everything under it.  I think it is helpful
to support recursive atomic removal and later patches will implement
it.

Such change means that a sysfs_dirent associated with kobject may be
deleted before the kobject itself is removed if one of its ancestor
gets removed before it.  As sysfs_remove_dir() puts the base ref, we
may end up with dangling pointer on descendants.  This can be solved
by holding an extra reference on the sd from kobject.

Acquire an extra reference on the associated sysfs_dirent on directory
creation and put it after removal.

d69ac5a0bb sysfs: remove sysfs_addrm_cxt->parent_sd
sysfs_addrm_start/finish() enclose sysfs_dirent additions and
deletions and sysfs_addrm_cxt is used to record information necessary
to finish the operations.  Currently, sysfs_addrm_start() takes
@parent_sd, records it in sysfs_addrm_cxt, and assumes that all
operations in the block are performed under that @parent_sd.

This assumption has been fine until now but we want to make some
operations behave recursively and, while having @parent_sd recorded in
sysfs_addrm_cxt doesn't necessarily prevents that, it becomes
confusing.

This patch removes sysfs_addrm_cxt->parent_sd and makes
sysfs_add_one() take an explicit @parent_sd parameter.  Note that
sysfs_remove_one() doesn't need the extra argument as its parent is
always known from the target @sd.

While at it, add __acquires/releases() notations to
sysfs_addrm_start/finish() respectively.

This patch doesn't make any functional difference.

388975ccca sysfs: clean up sysfs_get_dirent()
The pre-existing sysfs interfaces which take explicit namespace
argument are weird in that they place the optional @ns in front of
@name which is contrary to the established convention.  For example,
we end up forcing vast majority of sysfs_get_dirent() users to do
sysfs_get_dirent(parent, NULL, name), which is silly and error-prone
especially as @ns and @name may be interchanged without causing

This renames sysfs_get_dirent() to sysfs_get_dirent_ns() and swap the
positions of @name and @ns, and sysfs_get_dirent() is now a wrapper
around sysfs_get_dirent_ns().  This makes confusions a lot less
likely.

There are other interfaces which take @ns before @name.  They'll be
updated by following patches.

cb26a31157 sysfs: drop kobj_ns_type handling
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 or where namespace is enabled.

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.  Also, whether to filter by namespace tag or
not can be trivially determined by whether the node has any tagged
children or not.

This patch rips out kobj_ns_type handling from sysfs.  sysfs no longer
cares whether specific type of namespace is enabled or not.  If a
sysfs_dirent has a non-NULL tag, the parent is marked as needing
namespace filtering and the value is tested against the allowed set of
tags for the superblock (currently only one but increasing this number
isn't difficult) and the sysfs_dirent is ignored if it doesn't match.

This removes most kobject namespace knowledge from sysfs proper which
will enable proper separation and layering of sysfs.  The namespace
sanity checks in fs/sysfs/dir.c are replaced by the new sanity check
in kobject_namespace().  As this is the only place ktype->namespace()
is called for sysfs, this doesn't weaken the sanity check
significantly.  I omitted converting the sanity check in
sysfs_do_create_link_sd().  While the check can be shifted to upper
layer, mistakes there are well contained and should be easily visible
anyway.

4b30ee58ee sysfs: remove ktype->namespace() invocations in symlink code
There's no reason for sysfs to be calling ktype->namespace().  It is
backwards, obfuscates what's going on and unnecessarily tangles two
separate layers.

There are two places where symlink code calls ktype->namespace().

* sysfs_do_create_link_sd() calls it to find out the namespace tag of
  the target directory.  Unless symlinking races with cross-namespace
  renaming, this equals @target_sd->s_ns.

* sysfs_rename_link() uses it to find out the new namespace to rename
  to and the new namespace can be different from the existing one.
  The function is renamed to sysfs_rename_link_ns() with an explicit
  @ns argument and the ktype->namespace() invocation is shifted to the
  device layer.

While this patch replaces ktype->namespace() invocation with the
recorded result in @target_sd, this shouldn't result in any behvior
difference.

e34ff49061 sysfs: remove ktype->namespace() invocations in directory code
For some unrecognizable reason, namespace information is communicated
to sysfs through ktype->namespace() callback when there's *nothing*
which needs the use of a callback.  The whole sequence of operations
is completely synchronous and sysfs operations simply end up calling
back into the layer which just invoked it in order to find out the
namespace information, which is completely backwards, obfuscates
what's going on and unnecessarily tangles two separate layers.

This patch doesn't remove ktype->namespace() but shifts its handling
to kobject layer.  We probably want to get rid of the callback in the
long term.

This patch adds an explicit param to sysfs_{create|rename|move}_dir()
and renames them to sysfs_{create|rename|move}_dir_ns(), respectively.
ktype->namespace() invocations are moved to the calling sites of the
above functions.  A new helper kboject_namespace() is introduced which
directly tests kobj_ns_type_operations->type which should give the
same result as testing sysfs_fs_type(parent_sd) and returns @kobj's
namespace tag as necessary.  kobject_namespace() is extern as it will
be used from another file in the following patches.

This patch should be an equivalent conversion without any functional
difference.

* attr ns tag is determined by sysfs_ops->namespace() callback while
  dir tag is determined by kobj_type->namespace().  The placement is
  arbitrary.

* Instead of performing operations with explicit ns tag, the namespace
  callback is routed through sysfs_attr_ns(), sysfs_ops->namespace(),
  class_attr_namespace(), class_attr->namespace().  It's not simpler
  in any sense.  The only thing this convolution does is traversing
  the whole stack backwards.

The namespace callbacks are unncessary because the operations involved
are inherently synchronous.  The information can be provided in in
straight-forward top-down direction and reversing that direction is
unnecessary and against basic design principles.

This backward interface is unnecessarily convoluted and hinders
properly separating out sysfs from driver model / kobject for proper
layering.  This patch updates attr ns support such that

* sysfs_ops->namespace() and class_attr->namespace() are dropped.

* sysfs_{create|remove}_file_ns(), which take explicit @ns param, are
  added and sysfs_{create|remove}_file() are now simple wrappers
  around the ns aware functions.

* ns handling is dropped from sysfs_chmod_file().  Nobody uses it at
  this point.  sysfs_chmod_file_ns() can be added later if necessary.

* Explicit @ns is propagated through class_{create|remove}_file_ns()
  and netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns().

* driver/net/bonding which is currently the only user of attr
  namespace is updated to use netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns()
  with @bh->net as the ns tag instead of using the namespace callback.

This patch should be an equivalent conversion without any functional
difference.  It makes the code easier to follow, reduces lines of code
a bit and helps proper separation and layering.

7dc5dbc879 sysfs: Restrict mounting sysfs
Don't allow mounting sysfs unless the caller has CAP_SYS_ADMIN rights
over the net namespace.  The principle here is if you create or have
capabilities over it you can mount it, otherwise you get to live with
what other people have mounted.

Instead of testing this with a straight forward ns_capable call,
perform this check the long and torturous way with kobject helpers,
this keeps direct knowledge of namespaces out of sysfs, and preserves
the existing sysfs abstractions.

e51db73532 userns: Better restrictions on when proc and sysfs can be mounted
Rely on the fact that another flavor of the filesystem is already
mounted and do not rely on state in the user namespace.

Verify that the mounted filesystem is not covered in any significant
way.  I would love to verify that the previously mounted filesystem
has no mounts on top but there are at least the directories
/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc and /sys/fs/cgroup/ that exist explicitly
for other filesystems to mount on top of.

Refactor the test into a function named fs_fully_visible and call that
function from the mount routines of proc and sysfs.  This makes this
test local to the filesystems involved and the results current of when
the mounts take place, removing a weird threading of the user
namespace, the mount namespace and the filesystems themselves.

bb2b0051d7 sysfs: check if one entry has been removed before freeing
It might be a kernel disaster if one sysfs entry is freed but
still referenced by sysfs tree.

Recently Dave and Sasha reported one use-after-free problem on
sysfs entry, and the problem has been troubleshooted with help
of debug message added in this patch.

Given sysfs_get_dirent/sysfs_put are exported APIs, even inside
sysfs they are called in many contexts(kobject/attribe add/delete,
inode init/drop, dentry lookup/release, readdir, ...), it is healthful
to check the removed flag before freeing one entry and dump message
if it is freeing without being removed first.

87a8ebd637 userns: Restrict when proc and sysfs can be mounted
Only allow unprivileged mounts of proc and sysfs if they are already
mounted when the user namespace is created.

proc and sysfs are interesting because they have content that is
per namespace, and so fresh mounts are needed when new namespaces
are created while at the same time proc and sysfs have content that
is shared between every instance.

Respect the policy of who may see the shared content of proc and sysfs
by only allowing new mounts if there was an existing mount at the time
the user namespace was created.

In practice there are only two interesting cases: proc and sysfs are
mounted at their usual places, proc and sysfs are not mounted at all
(some form of mount namespace jail).

b67bfe0d42 hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

0bb8f3d6ae sysfs: Functions for adding/removing symlinks to/from attribute groups
The most convenient way to expose ACPI power resources lists of a
device is to put symbolic links to sysfs directories representing
those resources into special attribute groups in the device's sysfs
directory.  For this purpose, it is necessary to be able to add
symbolic links to attribute groups.

For this reason, add sysfs helper functions for adding/removing
symbolic links to/from attribute groups, sysfs_add_link_to_group()
and sysfs_remove_link_from_group(), respectively.

This change set includes a build fix from David Rientjes.

6a2b60b17b Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
 "While small this set of changes is very significant with respect to
  containers in general and user namespaces in particular.  The user
  space interface is now complete.

  This set of changes adds support for unprivileged users to create user
  namespaces and as a user namespace root to create other namespaces.
  The tyranny of supporting suid root preventing unprivileged users from
  using cool new kernel features is broken.

  This set of changes completes the work on setns, adding support for
  the pid, user, mount namespaces.

  This set of changes includes a bunch of basic pid namespace
  cleanups/simplifications.  Of particular significance is the rework of
  the pid namespace cleanup so it no longer requires sending out
  tendrils into all kinds of unexpected cleanup paths for operation.  At
  least one case of broken error handling is fixed by this cleanup.

  The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been converted from regular files
  to magic symlinks which prevents incorrect caching by the VFS,
  ensuring the files always refer to the namespace the process is
  currently using and ensuring that the ptrace_mayaccess permission
  checks are always applied.

  The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been given stable inode numbers
  so it is now possible to see if different processes share the same
  namespaces.

  Through the David Miller's net tree are changes to relax many of the
  permission checks in the networking stack to allowing the user
  namespace root to usefully use the networking stack.  Similar changes
  for the mount namespace and the pid namespace are coming through my
  tree.

  Two small changes to add user namespace support were commited here adn
  in David Miller's -net tree so that I could complete the work on the
  /proc/<pid>/ns/ files in this tree.

  Work remains to make it safe to build user namespaces and 9p, afs,
  ceph, cifs, coda, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, ocfs2, and xfs so the
  Kconfig guard remains in place preventing that user namespaces from
  being built when any of those filesystems are enabled.

  Future design work remains to allow root users outside of the initial
  user namespace to mount more than just /proc and /sys."

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: (38 commits)

The warning check for duplicate sysfs entries can cause a buffer overflow
when printing the warning, as strcat() doesn't check buffer sizes.
Use strlcat() instead.

Since strlcat() doesn't return a pointer to the passed buffer, unlike
strcat(), I had to convert the nested concatenation in sysfs_add_one() to
an admittedly more obscure comma operator construct, to avoid emitting code
for the concatenation if CONFIG_BUG is disabled.

e5bcac6147 sysfs: fail dentry revalidation after namespace change
When we change the namespace tag of a sysfs entry, the associated dentry
is still kept around. readdir() will work correctly and not display the
old entries, but open() will still succeed, so will reads and writes.

This will no longer happen if sysfs is remounted, hinting that this is a
cache-related problem.

I am using the following sequence to demonstrate that:

shell1:
ip link add type veth
unshare -nm

shell2:
ip link set veth1 <pid_of_shell_1>
cat /sys/devices/virtual/net/veth1/ifindex

Before that patch, this will succeed (fail to fail). After it, it will
correctly return an error. Differently from a normal rename, which we
handle fine, changing the object namespace will keep it's path intact.
So this check seems necessary as well.

644473e9c6 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can
  reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete
  implementation.

  Highlights:
   - Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and
     code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe.

   - Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the
     config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable
     user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission
     checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe.

   - All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial
     user namespace before they are processed.  Removing the need to add
     an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared
     uids remains the same.

   - With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or
     better than it is today.

   - For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or
     operationally with the user namespace enabled.

   - The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1
     billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code
     enabled.  This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to
     164ns per stat operation).

   - (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value.
     Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially
     anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause
     entertaining failures in userspace.

   - If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails.
     I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I
     could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and
     handle the case where setuid fails.

   - If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which
     we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid.  The LFS
     experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be
     better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I
     can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we
     can't map.

   - Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it
     safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.

  My git tree covers all of the modifications needed to convert the core
  kernel and enough changes to make a system bootable to runlevel 1."

356c05d58a sysfs: get rid of some lockdep false positives
This patch (as1554) fixes a lockdep false-positive report.  The
problem arises because lockdep is unable to deal with the
tree-structured locks created by the device core and sysfs.

This particular problem involves a sysfs attribute method that
unregisters itself, not from the device it was called for, but from a
descendant device.  Lockdep doesn't understand the distinction and
reports a possible deadlock, even though the operation is safe.

This is the sort of thing that would normally be handled by using a
nested lock annotation; unfortunately it's not feasible to do that
here.  There's no sensible way to tell sysfs when attribute removal
occurs in the context of a parent attribute method.

As a workaround, the patch adds a new flag to struct attribute
telling sysfs not to inform lockdep when it acquires a readlock on a
sysfs_dirent instance for the attribute.  The readlock is still
acquired, but lockdep doesn't know about it and hence does not
complain about impossible deadlock scenarios.

Also added are macros for static initialization of attribute
structures with the ignore_lockdep flag set.  The three offending
attributes in the USB subsystem are converted to use the new macros.

3a198886ab sysfs: handle 'parent deleted before child added'
In scsi at least two cases of the parent device being deleted before the
child is added have been observed.

1/ scsi is performing async scans and the device is removed prior to the
   async can thread running (can happen with an in-opportune / unlikely
   unplug during initial scan).

2/ libsas discovery event running after the parent port has been torn
   down (this is a bug in libsas).

Result in crash signatures like:

In this scenario the parent is still valid (because we have a
reference), but it has been device_del()'d which means its kobj->sd
pointer is NULL'd via:

 device_del()->kobject_del()->sysfs_remove_dir()

...and then sysfs_create_dir() (without this fix) goes ahead and
de-references parent_sd via sysfs_ns_type():

 return (sd->s_flags & SYSFS_NS_TYPE_MASK) >> SYSFS_NS_TYPE_SHIFT;

This scenario is being fixed in scsi/libsas, but if other subsystems
present the same ordering the system need not immediately crash.

93518dd2eb sysfs: Fix memory leak in sysfs_sd_setsecdata().
This patch fixies follwing two memory leak patterns that reported by kmemleak.
sysfs_sd_setsecdata() is called during sys_lsetxattr() operation.
It checks sd->s_iattr is NULL or not. Then if it is NULL, it calls
sysfs_init_inode_attrs() to allocate memory.
That code is this.

iattrs = sd->s_iattr;
if (!iattrs)
                iattrs = sysfs_init_inode_attrs(sd);

The iattrs recieves sysfs_init_inode_attrs()'s result,  but sd->s_iattr
doesn't know the address. so it needs to set correct address to
sd->s_iattr to free memory in other function.

524b6c5b39 sysfs: Kill nlink counting.
Tracking the number of subdirectories requires an extra field that increases
the size of sysfs_dirent.  nlinks are not particularly interesting for sysfs
and the nlink counts are wrong when network namespaces are involved so stop
counting them, and always return nlink == 1.  Userspace already knows that
directories with nlink == 1 have an nlink count they can't use to count
subdirectories.

This reduces the size of sysfs_dirent by 8 bytes on 64bit platforms.

4e4d6d860b sysfs: Add s_hash to sysfs_dirent and order directory entries by hash
Compute a 31 bit hash of directory entries (that can fit in a signed
32bit off_t) and index the sysfs directory entries by that hash,
replacing the per directory indexes by name and by inode.  Because we
now only use a single rbtree this reduces the size of sysfs_dirent by 2
pointers.  Because we have fewer cases to deal with the code is now
simpler.

For now I use the simple hash that the dcache uses as that is easy to
use and seems simple enough.

In addition to makeing the code simpler using a hash for the file
position in readdir brings sysfs in line with other filesystems that
have non-trivial directory structures.

ce59791936 sysfs: Complain bitterly about attempts to remove files from nonexistent directories.
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.

f6d90b4f9c sysfs: Make sysfs_rename safe with sysfs_dirents in rbtrees.
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.

b9e2780d57 sysfs: Remove support for tagged directories with untagged members (again)
In commit 8a9ea3237e ("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.

903e21e2ee sysfs: Reject with a warning invalid uses of tagged directories.
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.

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.

487505c257 sysfs: Implement support for tagged files in sysfs.
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.

a685e08987 Delay struct net freeing while there's a sysfs instance refering to it
* new refcount in struct net, controlling actual freeing of the memory
	* new method in kobj_ns_type_operations (->drop_ns())
	* ->current_ns() semantics change - it's supposed to be followed by
corresponding ->drop_ns().  For struct net in case of CONFIG_NET_NS it bumps
the new refcount; net_drop_ns() decrements it and calls net_free() if the
last reference has been dropped.  Method renamed to ->grab_current_ns().
	* old net_free() callers call net_drop_ns() instead.
	* sysfs_exit_ns() is gone, along with a large part of callchain
leading to it; now that the references stored in ->ns[...] stay valid we
do not need to hunt them down and replace them with NULL.  That fixes
problems in sysfs_lookup() and sysfs_readdir(), along with getting rid
of sb->s_instances abuse.

	Note that struct net *shutdown* logics has not changed - net_cleanup()
is called exactly when it used to be called.  The only thing postponed by
having a sysfs instance refering to that struct net is actual freeing of
memory occupied by struct net.

This was very useful in finding a number of sysfs and driver core bugs
in the 2.5 and early 2.6 development days, but it has been a number of
years since this file has actually helped in debugging anything that
couldn't also be trivially determined from the stack traceback.

So it's time to delete the line.  This is good as we need all the space

6a108a14fa kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT
The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.

This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel.  A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).

Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6: (96 commits)
  no need for list_for_each_entry_safe()/resetting with superblock list
  Fix sget() race with failing mount
  vfs: don't hold s_umount over close_bdev_exclusive() call
  sysv: do not mark superblock dirty on remount
  sysv: do not mark superblock dirty on mount
  btrfs: remove junk sb_dirt change
  BFS: clean up the superblock usage
  AFFS: wait for sb synchronization when needed
  AFFS: clean up dirty flag usage
  cifs: truncate fallout
  mbcache: fix shrinker function return value
  mbcache: Remove unused features
  add f_flags to struct statfs(64)
  pass a struct path to vfs_statfs
  update VFS documentation for method changes.
  All filesystems that need invalidate_inode_buffers() are doing that explicitly
  convert remaining ->clear_inode() to ->evict_inode()
  Make ->drop_inode() just return whether inode needs to be dropped
  fs/inode.c:clear_inode() is gone
  fs/inode.c:evict() doesn't care about delete vs. non-delete paths now
  ...

Fix up trivial conflicts in fs/nilfs2/super.c

6a1a90ad1b rename generic_setattr
Despite its name it's now a generic implementation of ->setattr, but
rather a helper to copy attributes from a struct iattr to the inode.
Rename it to setattr_copy to reflect this fact.

49c19400f6 sysfs: sysfs_chmod_file's attr can be const
sysfs_chmod_file doesn't change the attribute it operates on, so this
attribute can be marked const.

d33002129e sysfs: allow creating symlinks from untagged to tagged directories
Supporting symlinks from untagged to tagged directories is reasonable,
and needed to support CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED.  So don't fail a prior
allowing that case to work.

96d6523adf sysfs: Don't allow the creation of symlinks we can't remove
Recently my tagged sysfs support revealed a flaw in the device core
that a few rare drivers are running into such that we don't always put
network devices in a class subdirectory named net/.

Since we are not creating the class directory the network devices wind
up in a non-tagged directory, but the symlinks to the network devices
from /sys/class/net are in a tagged directory.  All of which works
until we go to remove or rename the symlink.  When we remove or rename
a symlink we look in the namespace of the target of the symlink.
Since the target of the symlink is in a non-tagged sysfs directory we
don't have a namespace to look in, and we fail to remove the symlink.

Detect this problem up front and simply don't create symlinks we won't
be able to remove later.  This prevents symlink leakage and fails in
a much clearer and more understandable way.
