      "message": "sysfs: add parameter \"struct bin_attribute *\" in .read/.write methods for sysfs binary attributes\n\nWell, first of all, I don\u0027t want to change so many files either.\n\nWhat I do:\nAdding a new parameter \"struct bin_attribute *\" in the\n.read/.write methods for the sysfs binary attributes.\n\nIn fact, only the four lines change in fs/sysfs/bin.c and\ninclude/linux/sysfs.h do the real work.\nBut I have to update all the files that use binary attributes\nto make them compatible with the new .read and .write methods.\nI\u0027m not sure if I missed any. :(\n\nWhy I do this:\nFor a sysfs attribute, we can get a pointer pointing to the\nstruct attribute in the .show/.store method,\nwhile we can\u0027t do this for the binary attributes.\nI don\u0027t know why this is different, but this does make it not\nso handy to use the binary attributes as the regular ones.\nSo I think this patch is reasonable. :)\n\nWho benefits from it:\nThe patch that exposes ACPI tables in sysfs\nrequires such an improvement.\nAll the table binary attributes share the same .read method.\nParameter \"struct bin_attribute *\" is used to get\nthe table signature and instance number which are used to\ndistinguish different ACPI table binary attributes.\n\nWithout this parameter, we need to offer different .read methods\nfor different ACPI table binary attributes.\nThis is impossible as there are various ACPI tables on different\nplatforms, and we don\u0027t know what they are until they are loaded.\n\nSigned-off-by: Zhang Rui \u003crui.zhang@intel.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman \u003cgregkh@suse.de\u003e\n\n"

      "message": "sysfs: restructure add/remove paths and fix inode update\n\nThe original add/remove code had the following problems.\n\n* parent\u0027s timestamps are updated on dentry instantiation.  this is\n  incorrect with reclaimable files.\n\n* updating parent\u0027s timestamps isn\u0027t synchronized.\n\n* parent nlink update assumes the inode is accessible which won\u0027t be\n  true once directory dentries are made reclaimable.\n\nThis patch restructures add/remove paths to resolve the above\nproblems.  Add/removal are done in the following steps.\n\n1. sysfs_addrm_start() : acquire locks including sysfs_mutex and other\n   resources.\n\n2-a. sysfs_add_one() : add new sd.  linking the new sd into the\n     children list is caller\u0027s responsibility.\n\n2-b. sysfs_remove_one() : remove a sd.  unlinking the sd from the\n     children list is caller\u0027s responsibility.\n\n3. sysfs_addrm_finish() : release all resources and clean up.\n\nSteps 2-a and/or 2-b can be repeated multiple times.\n\nParent\u0027s inode is looked up during sysfs_addrm_start().  If available\n(always at the moment), it\u0027s pinned and nlink is updated as sd\u0027s are\nadded and removed.  Timestamps are updated during finish if any sd has\nbeen added or removed.  If parent\u0027s inode is not available during\nstart, sysfs_mutex ensures that parent inode is not created till\nadd/remove is complete.\n\nAll the complexity is contained inside the helper functions.\nEspecially, dentry/inode handling is properly hidden from the rest of\nsysfs which now mostly operate on sysfs_dirents.  As an added bonus,\ncodes which use these helpers to add and remove sysfs_dirents are now\nmore structured and simpler.\n\nSigned-off-by: Tejun Heo \u003chtejun@gmail.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman \u003cgregkh@suse.de\u003e\n\n"

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"

This patch follows Tejun\u0027s scheme of\nallocating and storing an inode number in the new s_ino member of a\nsysfs_dirent, when dirents are created, and retrieving it from there\nfor readdir, so that the pointer chain doesn\u0027t have to be traversed.\n\nTejun\u0027s upstream patch uses a new-ish \"ida\" allocator which brings\nalong some extra complexity; this -stable patch has a brain-dead\nincrementing counter which does not guarantee uniqueness, but because\nsysfs doesn\u0027t hash inodes as iunique expects, uniqueness wasn\u0027t\nguaranteed today anyway.\n\nSigned-off-by: Eric Sandeen \u003csandeen@redhat.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Tejun Heo \u003chtejun@gmail.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman \u003cgregkh@suse.de\u003e\n\n"

When closing the device,\n| move it back to the virtual device tree.\n| Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann \u003cmarcel@holtmann.org\u003e\n\nThe simplest fix for this bug is to prevent sysfs_move_dir()\nfrom self-deadlocking when (old_parent \u003d\u003d new_parent).\n\nThis patch prevents total system lockup when using rfcomm devices.\n\nSigned-off-by:  Mark Lord \u003cmlord@pobox.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Cornelia Huck \u003ccornelia.huck@de.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: Greg KH \u003cgreg@kroah.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n"

Currently this\nis a problem for /sys/class/net/*. \n\nWhat I want is a separate /sys/class/net directory in sysfs for each\nnetwork namespace, and I want to name each of them /sys/class/net.\n\nI looked and the VFS actually allows that.  All that is needed is\nfor /sys/class/net to implement a follow link method to redirect\nlookups to the real directory you want. \n\nImplementing a follow link method that is sensitive to the current\nnetwork namespace turns out to be 3 lines of code so it looks like a\nclean approach.  Modifying sysfs so it doesn\u0027t get in my was is a bit\ntrickier. \n\nI am calling the concept of multiple directories all at the same path\nin the filesystem shadow directories.  With the directory entry really\nat that location the shadow master. \n\nThe following patch modifies sysfs so it can handle a directory\nstructure slightly different from the kobject tree so I can implement\nthe shadow directories for handling /sys/class/net/.\n\nSigned-off-by: Eric W.

      "message": "[PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount\n\nExtend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that\npermits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.\n\nThe filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry\npointers.  For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()\nwhich will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the\nsuperblock\u0027s s_root (as per the old default behaviour).\n\nThe get_sb() op now returns an integer as there\u0027s now no need to return the\nsuperblock pointer.\n\nThis patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount\npoints, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing.  In\nsuch a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root\nand mnt_sb would be set directly.\n\nThe patch also makes the following changes:\n\n (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount\n     pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change\n     very little.\n\n (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should\n     normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will\n     always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().\n\n (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the\n     dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().\n\n     This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that\n     aren\u0027t actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The\n     currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,\n     and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in\n     dentries being left unculled.\n\n     However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be\n     implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is\n     simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for \u0027/\u0027 may well be\n     inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries\n     with child trees.\n\n     [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.\n\n (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of\n     changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.\n\n[akpm@osdl.org: convert ipath_fs, do other stuff]\nSigned-off-by: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Al Viro \u003cviro@zeniv.linux.org.uk\u003e\nCc: Nathan Scott \u003cnathans@sgi.com\u003e\nCc: Roland Dreier \u003crolandd@cisco.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n"

Signals?\n\ninotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change\nnotification:\n\n        * inotify\u0027s interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO.\n\t  You get a single fd, which is select()-able.\n        * inotify has an event that says \"the filesystem that the item\n          you were watching is on was unmounted.\"\n        * inotify can watch directories or files.\n\nInotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure),\nGamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects.\n\nSee Documentation/filesystems/inotify.txt.\n\nSigned-off-by: Robert Love \u003crml@novell.com\u003e\nCc: John McCutchan \u003cttb@tentacle.dhs.org\u003e\nCc: Christoph Hellwig \u003chch@lst.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n"
