Given a sysfs_dirent, there is no reason to have multiple versions of
removal functions. A function which removes the specified
sysfs_dirent and its descendants is enough.
This patch intorduces [__}sysfs_remove() which replaces all internal
variations of removal functions. This will be the only removal
function in the planned new sysfs_dirent based interface.

Some internal sysfs functions 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. This is confusing and
error-prone especially as @ns and @name may be interchanged without
causing compilation warning.
Swap the positions of @name and @ns in the following internal
functions.
sysfs_find_dirent()
sysfs_rename()
sysfs_hash_and_remove()
sysfs_name_hash()
sysfs_name_compare()
create_dir()
This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

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
compilation warning.
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.
This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

sysfs ns (namespace) implementation became more convoluted than
necessary while trying to hide ns information from visible interface.
The relatively recent attr ns support is a good example.
* 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.

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.

The problem. When implementing a network namespace I need to be able
to have multiple network devices with the same name. Currently this
is a problem for /sys/class/net/*, /sys/devices/virtual/net/*, and
potentially a few other directories of the form /sys/ ... /net/*.
What this patch does is to add an additional tag field to the
sysfs dirent structure. For directories that should show different
contents depending on the context such as /sys/class/net/, and
/sys/devices/virtual/net/ this tag field is used to specify the
context in which those directories should be visible. Effectively
this is the same as creating multiple distinct directories with
the same name but internally to sysfs the result is nicer.
I am calling the concept of a single directory that looks like multiple
directories all at the same path in the filesystem tagged directories.
For the networking namespace the set of directories whose contents I need
to filter with tags can depend on the presence or absence of hotplug
hardware or which modules are currently loaded. Which means I need
a simple race free way to setup those directories as tagged.
To achieve a reace free design all tagged directories are created
and managed by sysfs itself.
Users of this interface:
- define a type in the sysfs_tag_type enumeration.
- call sysfs_register_ns_types with the type and it's operations
- sysfs_exit_ns when an individual tag is no longer valid
- Implement mount_ns() which returns the ns of the calling process
so we can attach it to a sysfs superblock.
- Implement ktype.namespace() which returns the ns of a syfs kobject.
Everything else is left up to sysfs and the driver layer.
For the network namespace mount_ns and namespace() are essentially
one line functions, and look to remain that.
Tags are currently represented a const void * pointers as that is
both generic, prevides enough information for equality comparisons,
and is trivial to create for current users, as it is just the
existing namespace pointer.
The work needed in sysfs is more extensive. At each directory
or symlink creating I need to check if the directory it is being
created in is a tagged directory and if so generate the appropriate
tag to place on the sysfs_dirent. Likewise at each symlink or
directory removal I need to check if the sysfs directory it is
being removed from is a tagged directory and if so figure out
which tag goes along with the name I am deleting.
Currently only directories which hold kobjects, and
symlinks are supported. There is not enough information
in the current file attribute interfaces to give us anything
to discriminate on which makes it useless, and there are
no potential users which makes it an uninteresting problem
to solve.

While shadow directories appear to be a good idea, the current scheme
of controlling their creation and destruction outside of sysfs appears
to be a locking and maintenance nightmare in the face of sysfs
directories dynamically coming and going. Which can now occur for
directories containing network devices when CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is
not set.
This patch removes everything from the initial shadow directory support
that allowed the shadow directory creation to be controlled at a higher
level. So except for a few bits of sysfs_rename_dir everything from

The problem. When implementing a network namespace I need to be able
to have multiple network devices with the same name. Currently this
is a problem for /sys/class/net/*.
What I want is a separate /sys/class/net directory in sysfs for each
network namespace, and I want to name each of them /sys/class/net.
I looked and the VFS actually allows that. All that is needed is
for /sys/class/net to implement a follow link method to redirect
lookups to the real directory you want.
Implementing a follow link method that is sensitive to the current
network namespace turns out to be 3 lines of code so it looks like a
clean approach. Modifying sysfs so it doesn't get in my was is a bit
trickier.
I am calling the concept of multiple directories all at the same path
in the filesystem shadow directories. With the directory entry really
at that location the shadow master.
The following patch modifies sysfs so it can handle a directory
structure slightly different from the kobject tree so I can implement
the shadow directories for handling /sys/class/net/.
