(without\ndeadlock) is to use the sysfs_schedule_callback() interface.\n\nVegard Nossum discovered that a poorly written sysfs -\u003estore\ncallback can repeatedly schedule remove callbacks on the same\ndevice over and over, e.g.\n\n\t$ while true ; do echo 1 \u003e /sys/devices/.../remove ; done\n\nIf the \u0027remove\u0027 attribute uses the sysfs_schedule_callback API\nand also does not protect itself from concurrent accesses, its\ncallback handler will be called multiple times, and will\neventually attempt to perform operations on a freed kobject,\nleading to many problems.\n\nInstead of requiring all callers of sysfs_schedule_callback to\nimplement their own synchronization, provide the protection in\nthe infrastructure.\n\nNow, sysfs_schedule_callback will only allow one scheduled\ncallback per kobject.

This patch implements active reference and\nmakes the association between kobject and sysfs immediately breakable.\n\nNow each sysfs_dirent has two reference counts - s_count and s_active.\ns_count is a regular reference count which guarantees that the\ncontaining sysfs_dirent is accessible. As long as s_count reference\nis held, all sysfs internal fields in sysfs_dirent are accessible\nincluding s_parent and s_name.\n\nThe newly added s_active is active reference count. This is acquired\nby invoking sysfs_get_active() and it\u0027s the caller\u0027s responsibility to\nensure sysfs_dirent itself is accessible (should be holding s_count\none way or the other). Dereferencing sysfs_dirent to access objects\nout of sysfs proper requires active reference. This includes access\nto the associated kobjects, attributes and ops.\n\nThe active references can be drained and denied by calling\nsysfs_deactivate(). All active sysfs_dirents must be deactivated\nafter deletion but before the default reference is dropped. This\nenables immediate disconnect of sysfs nodes. Once a sysfs_dirent is\ndeleted, it won\u0027t access any entity external to sysfs proper.\n\nBecause attr/bin_attr ops access both the node itself and its parent\nfor kobject, they need to hold active references to both.\nsysfs_get/put_active_two() helpers are provided to help grabbing both\nreferences. Parent\u0027s is acquired first and released last.\n\nUnlike other operations, mmapped area lingers on after mmap() is\nfinished and the module implement implementing it and kobj need to\nstay referenced till all the mapped pages are gone. This is\naccomplished by holding one set of active references to the bin_attr\nand its parent if there have been any mmap during lifetime of an\nopenfile. The references are dropped when the openfile is released.\n\nThis change makes sysfs lifetime rules independent from both kobject\u0027s\nand module\u0027s. It not only fixes several race conditions caused by\nsysfs not holding onto the proper module when referencing kobject, but\nalso helps fixing and simplifying lifetime management in driver model\nand drivers by taking sysfs out of the equation.\n\nPlease read the following message for more info.\n\n http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/510293\n\nSigned-off-by: Tejun Heo \u003chtejun@gmail.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman \u003cgregkh@suse.de\u003e\n\n" }, { "commit": "3e5190380ebef77f2b015c9e7a4ca225a3d75021", "tree": "08d17cd0562acf5101063e93c649f5f71f80b3b9", "parents": [ "0c096b507f15397da890051ee73de4266d3941fb" ], "author": { "name": "Tejun Heo", "email": "htejun@gmail.com", "time": "Thu Jun 14 03:45:15 2007 +0900" }, "committer": { "name": "Greg Kroah-Hartman", "email": "gregkh@suse.de", "time": "Wed Jul 11 16:09:04 2007 -0700" }, "message": "sysfs: make sysfs_dirent-\u003es_element a union\n\nMake sd-\u003es_element a union of sysfs_elem_{dir|symlink|attr|bin_attr}\nand rename it to s_elem.
