* configfs: replace strncpy with memcpyGuenter Roeck2018-07-021-1/+1

* configfs: make ci_type field, some pointers and function arguments constBhumika Goyal2017-10-191-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ci_type field of the config_item structure do not modify the fields of the config_item_type structure it points to. And the other pointers initialized with ci_type do not modify the fields as well. So, make the ci_type field and the pointers initialized with ci_type as const. Make the struct config_item_type *type function argument of functions config_{item/group}_init_type_name const as the argument in both the functions is only stored in the ci_type field of a config_item structure which is now made const. Make the argument of configfs_register_default_group const as it is only passed to the argument of the function config_group_init_type_name which is now const.

* configfs: Fix race between create_link and configfs_rmdirNicholas Bellinger2017-06-121-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch closes a long standing race in configfs between the creation of a new symlink in create_link(), while the symlink target's config_item is being concurrently removed via configfs_rmdir(). This can happen because the symlink target's reference is obtained by config_item_get() in create_link() before the CONFIGFS_USET_DROPPING bit set by configfs_detach_prep() during configfs_rmdir() shutdown is actually checked..

Returning ERR_PTR() on error, NULL on jump (procfs magic symlinks) and pointer to symlink body for normal symlinks. Stored pointer is ignored in all cases except the last one. Storing NULL for opaque pointer (or not storing it at all) means no call of ->put_link(). b) the body used to be passed to ->put_link() implicitly (via nameidata). Now only the opaque pointer is. In the cases when we used the symlink body to free stuff, ->follow_link() now should store it as opaque pointer in addition to returning it. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

The same could happen with symlink() instead of mkdir(). 2/ "A" and "A/C" inodes are not locked while detach_item() is called on them, which may probably confuse VFS. This commit fixes 1/, tagging new directories with CONFIGFS_USET_CREATING before building the inode and instantiating the dentry, and validating the whole group+default groups hierarchy in a second pass by clearing CONFIGFS_USET_CREATING. mkdir(), symlink(), lookup(), and dir_open() simply return -ENOENT if called in (or linking to) a directory tagged with CONFIGFS_USET_CREATING. This does not prevent userspace from calling stat() successfuly on such directories, but this prevents userspace from adding (children to | symlinking from/to | read/write attributes of | listing the contents of) not validated items. In other words, userspace will not interact with the subsystem on a new item until the new item creation completes correctly. It was first proposed to re-use CONFIGFS_USET_IN_MKDIR instead of a new flag CONFIGFS_USET_CREATING, but this generated conflicts when checking the target of a new symlink: a valid target directory in the middle of attaching a new user-created child item could be wrongly detected as being attached. 2/ is fixed by next commit.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On a similar pattern as mkdir() vs rmdir(), a failing symlink() may make rmdir() fail for the symlink's parent and the symlink's target as well. failing symlink() making target's rmdir() fail: process 1: process 2: symlink("A/S" -> "B") allow_link() create_link() attach to "B" links list rmdir("B") detach_prep("B") error because of new link configfs_create_link("A", "S") error (eg -ENOMEM) failing symlink() making parent's rmdir() fail: process 1: process 2: symlink("A/D/S" -> "B") allow_link() create_link() attach to "B" links list configfs_create_link("A/D", "S") make_dirent("A/D", "S") rmdir("A") detach_prep("A") detach_prep("A/D") error because of "S" create("S") error (eg -ENOMEM) We cannot use the same solution as for mkdir() vs rmdir(), since rmdir() on the target cannot wait on the i_mutex of the new symlink's parent without risking a deadlock (with other symlink() or sys_rename()). Instead we define a global mutex protecting all configfs symlinks attachment, so that rmdir() can avoid the races above.

* [PATCH] configfs: Fix symlink() to a removing itemLouis Rilling2008-07-311-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rule for configfs symlinks is that symlinks always point to valid config_items, and prevent the target from being removed. However, configfs_symlink() only checks that it can grab a reference on the target item, without ensuring that it remains alive until the symlink is correctly attached. This patch makes configfs_symlink() fail whenever the target is being removed, using the CONFIGFS_USET_DROPPING flag set by configfs_detach_prep() and protected by configfs_dirent_lock. This patch introduces a similar (weird?) behavior as with mkdir failures making rmdir fail: if symlink() races with rmdir() of the parent directory (or its youngest user-created ancestor if parent is a default group) or rmdir() of the target directory, and then fails in configfs_create(), this can make the racing rmdir() fail despite the concerned directory having no user-created entry (resp. no symlink pointing to it or one of its default groups) in the end. This behavior is fixed in later patches. Signed-off-by: Louis Rilling <louis.rilling@kerlabs.com> Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>

This patch uses the configfs_dirent_lock spinlock to add the necessary protection. Note: we should also protect the list_empty() test in configfs_detach_prep() but 1/ the lock should not be released immediately because nothing would prevent the list from being filled after a successful list_empty() test, making the problem tricky, 2/ this will be solved by the rmdir() vs rename() deadlock bugfix.

* configfs: Introduce configfs_dirent_lockLouis Rilling2008-07-141-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces configfs_dirent_lock spinlock to protect configfs_dirent traversals against linkage mutations (add/del/move). This will allow configfs_detach_prep() to avoid locking i_mutexes. Locking rules for configfs_dirent linkage mutations are the same plus the requirement of taking configfs_dirent_lock. For configfs_dirent walking, one can either take appropriate i_mutex as before, or take configfs_dirent_lock. The spinlock could actually be a mutex, but the critical sections are either O(1) or should not be too long (default groups walking in last patch). ChangeLog: - Clarify the comment on configfs_dirent_lock usage - Move sd->s_element init before linking the new dirent - In lseek(), do not release configfs_dirent_lock before the dirent is relinked.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the central patch of a cleanup series.

Together with the other patches of this series - it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on <dentry,vfsmount> pairs - it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed - it reduces the overall code size: without patch series: text data bss dec hex filename 5321639 858418 715768 6895825 6938d1 vmlinux with patch series: text data bss dec hex filename 5320026 858418 715768 6894212 693284 vmlinux This patch: Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.

* [PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 1Arjan van de Ven2007-02-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources.
