Tejun Heo 4afddd60a7 kernfs: protect lazy kernfs_iattrs allocation with mutex
kernfs_iattrs is allocated lazily when operations which require it
take place; unfortunately, the lazy allocation and returning weren't
properly synchronized and when there are multiple concurrent
operations, it might end up returning kernfs_iattrs which hasn't
finished initialization yet or different copies to different callers.

Fix it by synchronizing with a mutex.  This can be smarter with memory
barriers but let's go there if it actually turns out to be necessary.

Johannes Weiner 91b0abe36a mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cache
Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
evicting the real page.  As those pages are found from the LRU, an
iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently.  At this point,
reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.

Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
under the tree lock before doing the final truncate.  Reclaim will check
for this flag before installing shadow pages.

Linus Torvalds 32d01dc7be Merge branch 'for-3.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot updates for cgroup:

   - The biggest one is cgroup's conversion to kernfs.  cgroup took
     after the long abandoned vfs-entangled sysfs implementation and
     made it even more convoluted over time.  cgroup's internal objects
     were fused with vfs objects which also brought in vfs locking and
     object lifetime rules.  Naturally, there are places where vfs rules
     don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock
     dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial
     number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is
     actually necessary, needed to be employed.

     After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking
     rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding
     of several nasty hacks and overall simplification.  This will also
     allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups
     which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting
     i_mutexes.

   - Various simplifications including dropping of module support,
     easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type
     handling and task_cg_lists optimization.

   - Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still
     a patchset away from being actually operational.  The dummy
     hierarchy is updated to serve as the default unified hierarchy.
     Controllers which aren't claimed by other hierarchies are
     associated with it, which BTW was what the dummy hierarchy was for
     anyway.

   - Various fixes from Li and others.  This pull request includes some
     patches to add missing slab.h to various subsystems.  This was
     triggered xattr.h include removal from cgroup.h.  cgroup.h
     indirectly got included a lot of files which brought in xattr.h
     which brought in slab.h.

  There are several merge commits - one to pull in kernfs updates
  necessary for converting cgroup (already in upstream through
  driver-core), others for interfering changes in the fixes branch"

Tejun Heo b7ce40cff0 kernfs: cache atomic_write_len in kernfs_open_file
While implementing atomic_write_len, 4d3773c4bb ("kernfs: implement
kernfs_ops->atomic_write_len") moved data copy from userland inside
kernfs_get_active() and kernfs_open_file->mutex so that
kernfs_ops->atomic_write_len can be accessed before copying buffer
from userland; unfortunately, this could lead to locking order
inversion involving mmap_sem if copy_from_user() takes a page fault.

Fix it by caching atomic_write_len in kernfs_open_file during open so
that it can be determined without accessing kernfs_ops in
kernfs_fop_write().  This restores the structure of kernfs_fop_write()
before 4d3773c4bb with updated @len determination logic.

Tejun Heo e61734c55c cgroup: remove cgroup->name
cgroup->name handling became quite complicated over time involving
dedicated struct cgroup_name for RCU protection.  Now that cgroup is
on kernfs, we can drop all of it and simply use kernfs_name/path() and
friends.  Replace cgroup->name and all related code with kernfs
name/path constructs.

* Reimplement cgroup_name() and cgroup_path() as thin wrappers on top
  of kernfs counterparts, which involves semantic changes.
  pr_cont_cgroup_name() and pr_cont_cgroup_path() added.

* cgroup->name handling dropped from cgroup_rename().

* All users of cgroup_name/path() updated to the new semantics.  Users
  which were formatting the string just to printk them are converted
  to use pr_cont_cgroup_name/path() instead, which simplifies things
  quite a bit.  As cgroup_name() no longer requires RCU read lock
  around it, RCU lockings which were protecting only cgroup_name() are
  removed.

v2: Comment above oom_info_lock updated as suggested by Michal.

v3: dummy_top doesn't have a kn associated and
    pr_cont_cgroup_name/path() ended up calling the matching kernfs
    functions with NULL kn leading to oops.  Test for NULL kn and
    print "/" if so.  This issue was reported by Fengguang Wu.

v4: Rebased on top of 0ab02ca8f8 ("cgroup: protect modifications to
    cgroup_idr with cgroup_mutex").

Tejun Heo 3eef34ad7d kernfs: implement kernfs_get_parent(), kernfs_name/path() and friends
kernfs_node->parent and ->name are currently marked as "published"
indicating that kernfs users may access them directly; however, those
fields may get updated by kernfs_rename[_ns]() and unrestricted access
may lead to erroneous values or oops.

Protect ->parent and ->name updates with a irq-safe spinlock
kernfs_rename_lock and implement the following accessors for these
fields.

* kernfs_name()		- format the node's name into the specified buffer
* kernfs_path()		- format the node's path into the specified buffer
* pr_cont_kernfs_name()	- pr_cont a node's name (doesn't need buffer)
* pr_cont_kernfs_path()	- pr_cont a node's path (doesn't need buffer)
* kernfs_get_parent()	- pin and return a node's parent

All can be called under any context.  The recursive sysfs_pathname()
in fs/sysfs/dir.c is replaced with kernfs_path() and
sysfs_rename_dir_ns() is updated to use kernfs_get_parent() instead of
dereferencing parent directly.

v2: Dummy definition of kernfs_path() for !CONFIG_KERNFS was missing
    static inline making it cause a lot of build warnings.  Add it.

Tejun Heo 4d3773c4bb kernfs: implement kernfs_ops->atomic_write_len
A write to a kernfs_node is buffered through a kernel buffer.  Writes
<= PAGE_SIZE are performed atomically, while larger ones are executed
in PAGE_SIZE chunks.  While this is enough for sysfs, cgroup which is
scheduled to be converted to use kernfs needs a bit more control over
it.

This patch adds kernfs_ops->atomic_write_len.  If not set (zero), the
behavior stays the same.  If set, writes upto the size are executed
atomically and larger writes are rejected with -E2BIG.

A different implementation strategy would be allowing configuring
chunking size while making the original write size available to the
write method; however, such strategy, while being more complicated,
doesn't really buy anything.  If the write implementation has to
handle chunking, the specific chunk size shouldn't matter all that
much.

Tejun Heo d35258ef70 kernfs: allow nodes to be created in the deactivated state
Currently, kernfs_nodes are made visible to userland on creation,
which makes it difficult for kernfs users to atomically succeed or
fail creation of multiple nodes.  In addition, if something fails
after creating some nodes, the created nodes might already be in use
and their active refs need to be drained for removal, which has the
potential to introduce tricky reverse locking dependency on active_ref
depending on how the error path is synchronized.

This patch introduces per-root flag KERNFS_ROOT_CREATE_DEACTIVATED.
If set, all nodes under the root are created in the deactivated state
and stay invisible to userland until explicitly enabled by the new
kernfs_activate() API.  Also, nodes which have never been activated
are guaranteed to bypass draining on removal thus allowing error paths
to not worry about lockding dependency on active_ref draining.

Tejun Heo b9c9dad0c4 kernfs: add missing kernfs_active() checks in directory operations
kernfs_iop_lookup(), kernfs_dir_pos() and kernfs_dir_next_pos() were
missing kernfs_active() tests before using the found kernfs_node.  As
deactivated state is currently visible only while a node is being
removed, this doesn't pose an actual problem.  e.g. lookup succeeding
on a deactivated node doesn't harm anything as the eventual file
operations are gonna fail and those failures are indistinguishible
from the cases in which the lookups had happened before the node was
deactivated.

However, we're gonna allow new nodes to be created deactivated and
then activated explicitly by the kernfs user when it sees fit.  This
is to support atomically making multiple nodes visible to userland and
thus those nodes must not be visible to userland before activated.

Let's plug the lookup and readdir holes so that deactivated nodes are
invisible to userland.

Tejun Heo 07c7530dd4 kernfs: invoke dir_ops while holding active ref of the target node
kernfs_dir_ops are currently being invoked without any active
reference, which makes it tricky for the invoked operations to
determine whether the objects associated those nodes are safe to
access and will remain that way for the duration of such operations.

kernfs already has active_ref mechanism to deal with this which makes
the removal of a given node the synchronization point for gating the
file operations.  There's no reason for dir_ops to be any different.
Update the dir_ops handling so that active_ref is held while the
dir_ops are executing.  This guarantees that while a dir_ops is
executing the target nodes stay alive.

As kernfs_dir_ops doesn't have any in-kernel user at this point, this
doesn't affect anybody.

Tejun Heo 6b0afc2a21 kernfs, sysfs, driver-core: implement kernfs_remove_self() and its wrappers
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.

Tejun Heo 81c173cb5e kernfs: remove KERNFS_REMOVED
KERNFS_REMOVED is used to mark half-initialized and dying nodes so
that they don't show up in lookups and deny adding new nodes under or
renaming it; however, its role overlaps that of deactivation.

It's necessary to deny addition of new children while removal is in
progress; however, this role considerably intersects with deactivation
- KERNFS_REMOVED prevents new children while deactivation prevents new
file operations.  There's no reason to have them separate making
things more complex than necessary.

This patch removes KERNFS_REMOVED.

* Instead of KERNFS_REMOVED, each node now starts its life
  deactivated.  This means that we now use both atomic_add() and
  atomic_sub() on KN_DEACTIVATED_BIAS, which is INT_MIN.  The compiler
  generates an overflow warnings when negating INT_MIN as the negation
  can't be represented as a positive number.  Nothing is actually
  broken but let's bump BIAS by one to avoid the warnings for archs
  which negates the subtrahend..

* A new helper kernfs_active() which tests whether kn->active >= 0 is
  added for convenience and lockdep annotation.  All KERNFS_REMOVED
  tests are replaced with negated kernfs_active() tests.

* __kernfs_remove() is updated to deactivate, but not drain, all nodes
  in the subtree instead of setting KERNFS_REMOVED.  This removes
  deactivation from kernfs_deactivate(), which is now renamed to
  kernfs_drain().

* Sanity check on KERNFS_REMOVED in kernfs_put() is replaced with
  checks on the active ref.

* Some comment style updates in the affected area.

v2: Reordered before removal path restructuring.  kernfs_active()
    dropped and kernfs_get/put_active() used instead.  RB_EMPTY_NODE()
    used in the lookup paths.

v3: Reverted most of v2 except for creating a new node with
    KN_DEACTIVATED_BIAS.

Tejun Heo 182fd64b66 kernfs: remove KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF and add kernfs_lockdep()
There currently are two mechanisms gating active ref lockdep
annotations - KERNFS_LOCKDEP flag and KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF type mask.
The former disables lockdep annotations in kernfs_get/put_active()
while the latter disables all of kernfs_deactivate().

While KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF also behaves as an optimization to skip the
deactivation step for non-file nodes, the benefit is marginal and it
needlessly diverges code paths.  Let's drop KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF.

While at it, add a test helper kernfs_lockdep() to test KERNFS_LOCKDEP
flag so that it's more convenient and the related code can be compiled
out when not enabled.

v2: Refreshed on top of ("kernfs: make kernfs_deactivate() honor
    KERNFS_LOCKDEP flag").  As the earlier patch already added
    KERNFS_LOCKDEP tests to kernfs_deactivate(), those additions are
    dropped from this patch and the existing ones are simply converted
    to kernfs_lockdep().

Tejun Heo 988cd7afb3 kernfs: remove kernfs_addrm_cxt
kernfs_addrm_cxt and the accompanying kernfs_addrm_start/finish() were
added because there were operations which should be performed outside
kernfs_mutex after adding and removing kernfs_nodes.  The necessary
operations were recorded in kernfs_addrm_cxt and performed by
kernfs_addrm_finish(); however, after the recent changes which
relocated deactivation and unmapping so that they're performed
directly during removal, the only operation kernfs_addrm_finish()
performs is kernfs_put(), which can be moved inside the removal path
too.

This patch moves the kernfs_put() of the base ref to __kernfs_remove()
and remove kernfs_addrm_cxt and kernfs_addrm_start/finish().

* kernfs_add_one() is updated to grab and release kernfs_mutex itself.
  sysfs_addrm_start/finish() invocations around it are removed from
  all users.

* __kernfs_remove() puts an unlinked node directly instead of chaining
  it to kernfs_addrm_cxt.  Its callers are updated to grab and release
  kernfs_mutex instead of calling kernfs_addrm_start/finish() around
  it.

Tejun Heo ccf02aaf81 kernfs: invoke kernfs_unmap_bin_file() directly from kernfs_deactivate()
kernfs_unmap_bin_file() is supposed to unmap all memory mappings of
the target file before kernfs_remove() finishes; however, it currently
is being called from kernfs_addrm_finish() and has the same race
problem as the original implementation of deactivation when there are
multiple removers - only the remover which snatches the node to its
addrm_cxt->removed list is guaranteed to wait for its completion
before returning.

It can be easily fixed by moving kernfs_unmap_bin_file() invocation
from kernfs_addrm_finish() to kernfs_deactivated().  The function may
be called multiple times but that shouldn't do any harm.

Tejun Heo 35beab0635 kernfs: restructure removal path to fix possible premature return
The recursive nature of kernfs_remove() means that, even if
kernfs_remove() is not allowed to be called multiple times on the same
node, there may be race conditions between removal of parent and its
descendants.  While we can claim that kernfs_remove() shouldn't be
called on one of the descendants while the removal of an ancestor is
in progress, such rule is unnecessarily restrictive and very difficult
to enforce.  It's better to simply allow invoking kernfs_remove() as
the caller sees fit as long as the caller ensures that the node is
accessible.

The current behavior in such situations is broken.  Whoever enters
removal path first takes the node off the hierarchy and then
deactivates.  Following removers either return as soon as it notices
that it's not the first one or can't even find the target node as it
has already been removed from the hierarchy.  In both cases, the
following removers may finish prematurely while the nodes which should
be removed and drained are still being processed by the first one.

This patch restructures so that multiple removers, whether through
recursion or direction invocation, always follow the following rules.

* When there are multiple concurrent removers, only one puts the base
  ref.

* Regardless of which one puts the base ref, all removers are blocked
  until the target node is fully deactivated and removed.

To achieve the above, removal path now first marks all descendants
including self REMOVED and then deactivates and unlinks leftmost
descendant one-by-one.  kernfs_deactivate() is called directly from
__kernfs_removal() and drops and regrabs kernfs_mutex for each
descendant to drain active refs.  As this means that multiple removers
can enter kernfs_deactivate() for the same node, the function is
updated so that it can handle multiple deactivators of the same node -
only one actually deactivates but all wait till drain completion.

The restructured removal path guarantees that a removed node gets
unlinked only after the node is deactivated and drained.  Combined
with proper multiple deactivator handling, this guarantees that any
invocation of kernfs_remove() returns only after the node itself and
all its descendants are deactivated, drained and removed.

v2: Draining separated into a separate loop (used to be in the same
    loop as unlink) and done from __kernfs_deactivate().  This is to
    allow exposing deactivation as a separate interface later.

    Root node removal was broken in v1 patch.  Fixed.

v3: Revert most of v2 except for root node removal fix and
    simplification of KERNFS_REMOVED setting loop.

v4: Refreshed on top of ("kernfs: make kernfs_deactivate() honor

kernfs_node->u.completion is used to notify deactivation completion

To help such restructure which requires supporting multiple waiters,
this patch replaces kernfs_node->u.completion with

notifications share a per-root waitqueue_head; however, the wait path
is quite cold and this will also allow shaving one pointer off

Tejun Heo db4aad209b kernfs: associate a new kernfs_node with its parent on creation
Once created, a kernfs_node is always destroyed by kernfs_put().
Since ba7443bc65 ("sysfs, kernfs: implement
kernfs_create/destroy_root()"), kernfs_put() depends on kernfs_root()
to locate the ino_ida.  kernfs_root() in turn depends on
kernfs_node->parent being set for !dir nodes.  This means that
kernfs_put() of a !dir node requires its ->parent to be initialized.

This leads to oops when a newly created !dir node is destroyed without
going through kernfs_add_one() or after failing kernfs_add_one()
before ->parent is set.  kernfs_root() invoked from kernfs_put() will
try to dereference NULL parent.

Fix it by moving parent association to kernfs_new_node() from
kernfs_add_one().  kernfs_new_node() now takes @parent instead of
@root and determines the root from the parent and also sets the new
node's parent properly.  @parent parameter is removed from
kernfs_add_one().  As there's no parent when creating the root node,
__kernfs_new_node() which takes @root as before and doesn't set the
parent is used in that case.

This ensures that a kernfs_node in any stage in its life has its
parent associated and thus can be put.

Tejun Heo bb305947bd kernfs: fix get_active failure handling in kernfs_seq_*()
When kernfs_seq_start() fails to obtain an active reference, it
returns ERR_PTR(-ENODEV).  kernfs_seq_stop() is then invoked with the
error pointer value; however, it still proceeds to invoke
kernfs_put_active() on the node leading to unbalanced put.

If kernfs_seq_stop() is called even after active ref failure, it
should skip invocation of @ops->seq_stop() and put_active.
Unfortunately, this is a bit complicated because active ref failure
isn't the only thing which may fail with ERR_PTR(-ENODEV).
@ops->seq_start/next() may also fail with the error value and
kernfs_seq_stop() doesn't have a way to tell apart those failures.

Work it around by factoring out the active part of kernfs_seq_stop()
into kernfs_seq_stop_active() and invoking it directly if
@ops->seq_start/next() fail with ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) and updating
kernfs_seq_stop() to skip kernfs_seq_stop_active() on
ERR_PTR(-ENODEV).  This is a bit nasty but ensures that the active put
is skipped iff get_active failed in kernfs_seq_start().

@kn, so this bug doesn't actually trigger.

We can relocate kernfs_root() invocation after NULL check; however,
allowing NULL param tends to cause more confusion than actually

Tejun Heo 1ae06819c7 kernfs, sysfs, driver-core: implement kernfs_remove_self() and its wrappers
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 and deactivates using
__kernfs_deactivate_self(), removes the self node, and restores active
ref to the dead node using __kernfs_reactivate_self() 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.

v2: For !CONFIG_SYSFS, dummy version kernfs_remove_self() was missing
    and sysfs_remove_file_self() had incorrect return type.  Fix it.

Tejun Heo 9f010c2ad5 kernfs: implement kernfs_{de|re}activate[_self]()
This patch implements four functions to manipulate deactivation state
- deactivate, reactivate and the _self suffixed pair.  A new fields
kernfs_node->deact_depth is added so that concurrent and nested
deactivations are handled properly.  kernfs_node->hash is moved so
that it's paired with the new field so that it doesn't increase the
size of kernfs_node.

A kernfs user's lock would normally nest inside active ref but during
removal the user may want to perform kernfs_remove() while holding the
said lock, which would introduce a reverse locking dependency.  This
function can be used to break such reverse dependency by allowing
deactivation step to performed separately outside user's critical
section.

This will also be used implement kernfs_remove_self().

Tejun Heo 895a068a52 kernfs: make kernfs_get_active() block if the node is deactivated but not removed
Currently, kernfs_get_active() fails if the target node is
deactivated.  This is fine as a node always gets removed after
deactivation; however, we're gonna add reactivation so the assumption
won't hold.  It'd be incorrect for kernfs_get_active() to fail for a
node which was deactivated only temporarily.

This patch makes kernfs_get_active() block if the node is deactivated
but not removed.  If the node gets reactivated (not yet implemented),
it will be retried and succeed.  If the node gets removed, it will be
woken up and fail.

Tejun Heo 99177a3411 kernfs: remove kernfs_addrm_cxt
kernfs_addrm_cxt and the accompanying kernfs_addrm_start/finish() were
added because there were operations which should be performed outside
kernfs_mutex after adding and removing kernfs_nodes.  The necessary
operations were recorded in kernfs_addrm_cxt and performed by
kernfs_addrm_finish(); however, after the recent changes which
relocated deactivation and unmapping so that they're performed
directly during removal, the only operation kernfs_addrm_finish()
performs is kernfs_put(), which can be moved inside the removal path
too.

This patch moves the kernfs_put() of the base ref to __kernfs_remove()
and remove kernfs_addrm_cxt and kernfs_addrm_start/finish().

* kernfs_add_one() is updated to grab and release the parent's active
  ref and kernfs_mutex itself.  kernfs_get/put_active() and
  kernfs_addrm_start/finish() invocations around it are removed from
  all users.

* __kernfs_remove() puts an unlinked node directly instead of chaining
  it to kernfs_addrm_cxt.  Its callers are updated to grab and release

  it.

Tejun Heo f601f9a2bf kernfs: invoke kernfs_unmap_bin_file() directly from __kernfs_remove()
kernfs_unmap_bin_file() is supposed to unmap all memory mappings of
the target file before kernfs_remove() finishes; however, it currently
is being called from kernfs_addrm_finish() and has the same race
problem as the original implementation of deactivation when there are
multiple removers - only the remover which snatches the node to its
addrm_cxt->removed list is guaranteed to wait for its completion
before returning.

It can be fixed by moving kernfs_unmap_bin_file() invocation from
kernfs_addrm_finish() to __kernfs_remove().  The function may be
called multiple times but that shouldn't do any harm.

We end up dropping kernfs_mutex in the removal loop and the node may
be removed inbetween by someone else.  kernfs_unlink_sibling() is
updated to test whether the node has already been removed and return
accordingly.  __kernfs_remove() in turn performs post-unlinking
cleanup only if it actually unlinked the node.

KERNFS_HAS_MMAP test is moved out of the unmap function into
__kernfs_remove() so that we don't unlock kernfs_mutex unnecessarily.
While at it, drop the now meaningless "bin" qualifier from the
function name.

Tejun Heo 45a140e587 kernfs: restructure removal path to fix possible premature return
The recursive nature of kernfs_remove() means that, even if
kernfs_remove() is not allowed to be called multiple times on the same
node, there may be race conditions between removal of parent and its
descendants.  While we can claim that kernfs_remove() shouldn't be
called on one of the descendants while the removal of an ancestor is
in progress, such rule is unnecessarily restrictive and very difficult
to enforce.  It's better to simply allow invoking kernfs_remove() as
the caller sees fit as long as the caller ensures that the node is
accessible.

The current behavior in such situations is broken.  Whoever enters
removal path first takes the node off the hierarchy and then
deactivates.  Following removers either return as soon as it notices
that it's not the first one or can't even find the target node as it
has already been removed from the hierarchy.  In both cases, the
following removers may finish prematurely while the nodes which should
be removed and drained are still being processed by the first one.

This patch restructures so that multiple removers, whether through
recursion or direction invocation, always follow the following rules.

* When there are multiple concurrent removers, only one puts the base
  ref.

* Regardless of which one puts the base ref, all removers are blocked
  until the target node is fully deactivated and removed.

To achieve the above, removal path now first deactivates the subtree,
drains it and then unlinks one-by-one.  __kernfs_deactivate() is
called directly from __kernfs_removal() and drops and regrabs
kernfs_mutex for each descendant to drain active refs.  As this means
that multiple removers can enter __kernfs_deactivate() for the same
node, the function is updated so that it can handle multiple
deactivators of the same node - only one actually deactivates but all
wait till drain completion.

The restructured removal path guarantees that a removed node gets
unlinked only after the node is deactivated and drained.  Combined
with proper multiple deactivator handling, this guarantees that any
invocation of kernfs_remove() returns only after the node itself and
all its descendants are deactivated, drained and removed.

v2: Draining separated into a separate loop (used to be in the same
    loop as unlink) and done from __kernfs_deactivate().  This is to
    allow exposing deactivation as a separate interface later.

    Root node removal was broken in v1 patch.  Fixed.

Tejun Heo ae34372eb8 kernfs: remove KERNFS_REMOVED
KERNFS_REMOVED is used to mark half-initialized and dying nodes so
that they don't show up in lookups and deny adding new nodes under or
renaming it; however, its role overlaps those of deactivation and
removal from rbtree.

It's necessary to deny addition of new children while removal is in
progress; however, this role considerably intersects with deactivation
- KERNFS_REMOVED prevents new children while deactivation prevents new
file operations.  There's no reason to have them separate making
things more complex than necessary.

KERNFS_REMOVED is also used to decide whether a node is still visible
to vfs layer, which is rather redundant as equivalent determination
can be made by testing whether the node is on its parent's children
rbtree or not.

This patch removes KERNFS_REMOVED.

* Instead of KERNFS_REMOVED, each node now starts its life
  deactivated.  This means that we now use both atomic_add() and
  atomic_sub() on KN_DEACTIVATED_BIAS, which is INT_MIN.  The compiler
  generates an overflow warnings when negating INT_MIN as the negation
  can't be represented as a positive number.  Nothing is actually
  broken but let's bump BIAS by one to avoid the warnings for archs
  which negates the subtrahend..

* KERNFS_REMOVED tests in add and rename paths are replaced with
  kernfs_get/put_active() of the target nodes.  Due to the way the add
  path is structured now, active ref handling is done in the callers
  of kernfs_add_one().  This will be consolidated up later.

* kernfs_remove_one() is updated to deactivate instead of setting
  KERNFS_REMOVED.  This removes deactivation from kernfs_deactivate(),
  which is now renamed to kernfs_drain().

* kernfs_dop_revalidate() now tests RB_EMPTY_NODE(&kn->rb) instead of
  KERNFS_REMOVED and KERNFS_REMOVED test in kernfs_dir_pos() is
  dropped.  A node which is removed from the children rbtree is not
  included in the iteration in the first place.  This means that a
  node may be visible through vfs a bit longer - it's now also visible
  after deactivation until the actual removal.  This slightly enlarged
  window difference doesn't make any difference to the userland.

* Sanity check on KERNFS_REMOVED in kernfs_put() is replaced with
  checks on the active ref.

* Some comment style updates in the affected area.

v2: Reordered before removal path restructuring.  kernfs_active()
    dropped and kernfs_get/put_active() used instead.  RB_EMPTY_NODE()
    used in the lookup paths.

Tejun Heo a69d001cfc kernfs: remove KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF and add kernfs_lockdep()
There currently are two mechanisms gating active ref lockdep
annotations - KERNFS_LOCKDEP flag and KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF type mask.
The former disables lockdep annotations in kernfs_get/put_active()
while the latter disables all of kernfs_deactivate().

While KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF also behaves as an optimization to skip the
deactivation step for non-file nodes, the benefit is marginal and it
needlessly diverges code paths.  Let's drop KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF and use
KERNFS_LOCKDEP in kernfs_deactivate() too.

While at it, add a test helper kernfs_lockdep() to test KERNFS_LOCKDEP
flag so that it's more convenient and the related code can be compiled

kernfs_node->u.completion is used to notify deactivation completion

multiple racing removals of the same node and the current removal
scheme is no longer correct - kernfs_remove() invocation may return
before the node is properly deactivated if it races against another
removal.  The removal path will be restructured to address the issue.

To help such restructure which requires supporting multiple waiters,
this patch replaces kernfs_node->u.completion with
kernfs_root->deactivate_waitq.  This makes deactivation event
notifications share a per-root waitqueue_head; however, the wait path
is quite cold and this will also allow shaving one pointer off

Tejun Heo d92d2e6bd7 kernfs: fix get_active failure handling in kernfs_seq_*()
When kernfs_seq_start() fails to obtain an active reference, it
returns ERR_PTR(-ENODEV).  kernfs_seq_stop() is then invoked with the
error pointer value; however, it still proceeds to invoke
kernfs_put_active() on the node leading to unbalanced put.

If kernfs_seq_stop() is called even after active ref failure, it
should skip invocation of @ops->seq_stop() and put_active.
Unfortunately, this is a bit complicated because active ref failure
isn't the only thing which may fail with ERR_PTR(-ENODEV).
@ops->seq_start/next() may also fail with the error value and
kernfs_seq_stop() doesn't have a way to tell apart those failures.

Work it around by factoring out the active part of kernfs_seq_stop()
into kernfs_seq_stop_active() and invoking it directly if
@ops->seq_start/next() fail with ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) and updating
kernfs_seq_stop() to skip kernfs_seq_stop_active() on
ERR_PTR(-ENODEV).  This is a bit nasty but ensures that the active put
is skipped iff get_active failed in kernfs_seq_start().

Add support for mkdir(2), rmdir(2) and rename(2) syscalls.  This is
implemented through optional kernfs_dir_ops callback table which can
be specified on kernfs_create_root().  An implemented callback is
invoked when the matching syscall is invoked.

As kernfs keep dcache syncs with internal representation and
revalidates dentries on each access, the implementation of these
methods is extremely simple.  Each just discovers the relevant
kernfs_node(s) and invokes the requested callback which is allowed to
do any kernfs operations and the end result doesn't necessarily have
to match the expected semantics of the syscall.

This will be used to convert cgroup to use kernfs instead of its own

trivial - kernfs_iop_lookup() now returns NULL instead of

for directories which always have copied names; however, there's
nothing in kernfs interface which calls for such restriction and
currently invoking kernfs_rename_ns() on a regular file leads to oops
because it ends up trying to kfree() a static name.

This patch updates kernfs_rename_ns() so that it skips kfree() of the
old name if it's static.  This allows it to be used for all node
types.

Tejun Heo 2063d608f5 kernfs: mark static names with KERNFS_STATIC_NAME
Because sysfs used struct attribute which are supposed to stay
constant, sysfs didn't copy names when creating regular files.  The
specified string for name was supposed to stay constant.  Such
distinction isn't inherent for kernfs.  kernfs_create_file[_ns]()
should be able to take the same @name as kernfs_create_dir[_ns]()

As there can be huge number of sysfs attributes, we still want to be
able to use static names for sysfs attributes.  This patch renames
kernfs_create_file_ns_key() to __kernfs_create_file() and adds
@name_is_static parameter so that the caller can explicitly indicate
that @name can be used without copying.  kernfs is updated to use
KERNFS_STATIC_NAME to distinguish static and copied names.

This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes.

Tejun Heo d0ae3d4347 kernfs: add REMOVED check to create and rename paths
kernfs currently assumes that the caller doesn't try to create a new
node under a removed parent, rename a removed node, or move a node
under a removed node.  While this works fine for sysfs, it'd be nice
to have protection against such cases especially given that kernfs is
planned to add support for mkdir, rmdir and rename requsts from
userland which may make race conditions more likely.

This patch updates create and rename paths to check REMOVED and fail
the operation with -ENOENT if performed on or towards removed nodes.
Note that remove path already has such check.

Tejun Heo 9b2db6e189 sysfs: bail early from kernfs_file_mmap() to avoid spurious lockdep warning
This is v3.14 fix for the same issue that a8b1474442 ("sysfs: give
different locking key to regular and bin files") addresses for v3.13.
Due to the extensive kernfs reorganization in v3.14 branch, the same
fix couldn't be ported as-is.  The v3.13 fix was ignored while merging
it into v3.14 branch.

027a485d12 ("sysfs: use a separate locking class for open files
depending on mmap") assigned different lockdep key to
sysfs_open_file->mutex depending on whether the file implements mmap
or not in an attempt to avoid spurious lockdep warning caused by
merging of regular and bin file paths.

While this restored some of the original behavior of using different
locks (at least lockdep is concerned) for the different clases of
files.  The restoration wasn't full because now the lockdep key
assignment depends on whether the file has mmap or not instead of
whether it's a regular file or not.

This means that bin files which don't implement mmap will get assigned
the same lockdep class as regular files.  This is problematic because
file_operations for bin files still implements the mmap file operation
and checking whether the sysfs file actually implements mmap happens
in the file operation after grabbing @sysfs_open_file->mutex.  We
still end up adding locking dependency from mmap locking to
sysfs_open_file->mutex to the regular file mutex which triggers
spurious circular locking warning.

For v3.13, a8b1474442 ("sysfs: give different locking key to regular
and bin files") fixed it by giving sysfs_open_file->mutex different
lockdep keys depending on whether the file is regular or bin instead
of whether mmap exists or not; however, due to the way sysfs is now
layered behind kernfs, this approach is no longer viable.  kernfs can
tell whether a sysfs node has mmap implemented or not but can't tell
whether a bin file from a regular one.

This patch updates kernfs such that kernfs_file_mmap() checks
SYSFS_FLAG_HAS_MMAP and bail before grabbing sysfs_open_file->mutex so
that it doesn't add spurious locking dependency from mmap to
sysfs_open_file->mutex and changes sysfs so that it specifies
kernfs_ops->mmap iff the sysfs file implements mmap.  Combined, this
ensures that sysfs_open_file->mutex is grabbed under mmap path iff the
sysfs file actually implements mmap.  As sysfs_open_file->mutex is
already given a different lockdep key if mmap is implemented, this
removes the spurious locking dependency.

Tejun Heo 2322392b02 kernfs: implement "trusted.*" xattr support
kernfs inherited "security.*" xattr support from sysfs.  This patch
extends xattr support to "trusted.*" using simple_xattr_*().  As
trusted xattrs are restricted to CAP_SYS_ADMIN, simple_xattr_*() which
uses kernel memory for storage shouldn't be problematic.

Note that the existing "security.*" support doesn't implement
get/remove/list and the this patch only implements those ops for
"trusted.*".  We probably want to extend those ops to include support
for "security.*".

This patch will allow using kernfs from cgroup which requires

sysfs_init_inode_attrs() is a bit clumsy to use requiring the caller

already initialized before trying to initialize it and return
@sd->s_iattr.  This simplifies the callers.

While at it,

* Rename struct sysfs_inode_attrs pointer variables to "attrs".  As
  kernfs no longer deals with "struct attribute", this isn't confusing
  and makes it easier to distinguish from struct iattr pointers.

Tejun Heo 4b93dc9b1c sysfs, kernfs: prepare mount path for kernfs
We're in the process of separating out core sysfs functionality into
kernfs which will deal with sysfs_dirents directly.  This patch
rearranges mount path so that the kernfs and sysfs parts are separate.

* As sysfs_super_info won't be visible outside kernfs proper,
  kernfs_super_ns() is added to allow kernfs users to access a
  super_block's namespace tag.

* Generic mount operation is separated out into kernfs_mount_ns().
  sysfs_mount() now just performs sysfs-specific permission check,
  acquires namespace tag, and invokes kernfs_mount_ns().

* Generic superblock release is separated out into kernfs_kill_sb()
  which can be used directly as file_system_type->kill_sb().  As sysfs
  needs to put the namespace tag, sysfs_kill_sb() wraps
  kernfs_kill_sb() with ns tag put.

* sysfs_dir_cachep init and sysfs_inode_init() are separated out into
  kernfs_init().  kernfs_init() uses only small amount of memory and
  trying to handle and propagate kernfs_init() failure doesn't make
  much sense.  Use SLAB_PANIC for sysfs_dir_cachep and make
  sysfs_inode_init() panic on failure.

  After this change, kernfs_init() should be called before
  sysfs_init(), fs/namespace.c::mnt_init() modified accordingly.

Tejun Heo ba7443bc65 sysfs, kernfs: implement kernfs_create/destroy_root()
There currently is single kernfs hierarchy in the whole system which
is used for sysfs.  kernfs needs to support multiple hierarchies to
allow other users.  This patch introduces struct kernfs_root which
serves as the root of each kernfs hierarchy and implements
kernfs_create/destroy_root().

* Each kernfs_root is associated with a root sd (sysfs_dentry).  The
  root is freed when the root sd is released and kernfs_destory_root()
  simply invokes kernfs_remove() on the root sd.  sysfs_remove_one()
  is updated to handle release of the root sd.  Note that ps_iattr
  update in sysfs_remove_one() is trivially updated for readability.

* Root sd's are now dynamically allocated using sysfs_new_dirent().
  Update sysfs_alloc_ino() so that it gives out ino from 1 so that the
  root sd still gets ino 1.

* While kernfs currently only points to the root sd, it'll soon grow
  fields which are specific to each hierarchy.  As determining a given
  sd's root will be necessary, sd->s_dir.root is added.  This backlink
  fits better as a separate field in sd; however, sd->s_dir is inside
  union with space to spare, so use it to save space and provide
  kernfs_root() accessor to determine the root sd.

* As hierarchies may be destroyed now, each mount needs to hold onto
  the hierarchy it's attached to.  Update sysfs_fill_super() and
  sysfs_kill_sb() so that they get and put the kernfs_root
  respectively.

* sysfs_root is replaced with kernfs_root which is dynamically created
  by invoking kernfs_create_root() from sysfs_init().

This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.
