90c07c895c kernfs: rename kernfs_dir_ops to kernfs_syscall_ops
We're gonna need non-dir syscall callbacks, which will make dir_ops a
misnomer.  Let's rename kernfs_dir_ops to kernfs_syscall_ops.

This is pure rename.

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.

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.

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.

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().

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.

v2: Rebased on top of "kernfs: associate a new kernfs_node with its
    parent on creation" which dropped @parent from kernfs_add_one().

abd54f028e kernfs: replace kernfs_node->u.completion with kernfs_root->deactivate_waitq
kernfs_node->u.completion is used to notify deactivation completion
from kernfs_put_active() to kernfs_deactivate().  We now allow
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
kernfs_node.

v2: Refreshed on top of ("kernfs: make kernfs_deactivate() honor
    KERNFS_LOCKDEP flag").

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().

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.

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

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
out when not enabled.

ea1c472dfe kernfs: replace kernfs_node->u.completion with kernfs_root->deactivate_waitq
kernfs_node->u.completion is used to notify deactivation completion
from kernfs_put_active() to kernfs_deactivate().  We now allow
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
kernfs_node.

80b9bbefc3 kernfs: add kernfs_dir_ops
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
filesystem implementation.

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.

moves sysfs_dirent definition from kernfs/kernfs-internal.h to
include/linux/kernfs.h so that kernfs users can access them.

The type part of flags is exported as enum kernfs_node_type, the flags
kernfs_node_flag, sysfs_type() and kernfs_enable_ns() are moved to

type.  sysfs_dirent->s_parent and ->s_name are marked explicitly as

    this can lead to oops when !CONFIG_SYSFS because

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.

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.

While the conversions are mostly equivalent, there's one difference -
kernfs_get() doesn't return the input param as its return value.  This

517e64f578 sysfs, kernfs: revamp sysfs_dirent active_ref lockdep annotation
Currently, sysfs_dirent active_ref lockdep annotation uses
attribute->[s]key as the lockdep key, which forces
kernfs_create_file_ns() to assume that sysfs_dirent->priv is pointing
to a struct attribute which may not be true for non-sysfs users.  This
patch restructures the lockdep annotation such that

* kernfs_ops contains lockdep_key which is used by default for files
  created kernfs_create_file_ns().

* kernfs_create_file_ns_key() is introduced which takes an extra @key
  argument.  The created file will use the specified key for
  active_ref lockdep annotation.  If NULL is specified, lockdep for
  the file is disabled.

* sysfs_add_file_mode_ns() is updated to use
  kernfs_create_file_ns_key() with the appropriate key from the
  attribute or NULL if ignore_lockdep is set.

This makes the lockdep annotation properly contained in kernfs while
allowing sysfs to cleanly keep its current behavior.  This patch
doesn't introduce any behavior differences.

f6acf8bb6a sysfs, kernfs: introduce kernfs_ops
We're in the process of separating out core sysfs functionality into
kernfs which will deal with sysfs_dirents directly.  This patch
introduces kernfs_ops which hosts methods kernfs users implement and
updates fs/sysfs/file.c such that sysfs_kf_*() functions populate
kernfs_ops and kernfs_file_*() functions call the matching entries
from kernfs_ops.

kernfs_ops contains the following groups of methods.

* seq_show() - for kernfs files which use seq_file for reads.

* read() - for direct read implementations.  Used iff seq_show() is
  not implemented.

* write() - for writes.

* mmap() - for mmaps.

Notes:

* sysfs_elem_attr->ops is added so that kernfs_ops can be accessed
  from sysfs_dirent.  kernfs_ops() helper is added to verify locking
  and access the field.

* SYSFS_FLAG_HAS_(SEQ_SHOW|MMAP) added.  sd->s_attr->ops is accessible
  only while holding active_ref and there are cases where we want to
  take different actions depending on which ops are implemented.
  These two flags cache whether the two ops are implemented for those.

* kernfs_file_*() no longer test sysfs type but chooses different
  behaviors depending on which methods in kernfs_ops are implemented.
  The conversions are trivial except for the open path.  As
  kernfs_file_open() now decides whether to allow read/write accesses
  depending on the kernfs_ops implemented, the presence of methods in
  kobjs and attribute_bin should be propagated to kernfs_ops.
  sysfs_add_file_mode_ns() is updated so that it propagates presence /
  absence of the callbacks through _empty, _ro, _wo, _rw kernfs_ops.

This patch creates fs/kernfs/ directory and makes boilerplate changes.
kernfs interface will be directly based on sysfs_dirent and its
forward declaration is moved to include/linux/kernfs.h which is
included from include/linux/sysfs.h.  sysfs core implementation will
be gradually separated out and moved to kernfs.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

v2: mount.c added.
