sysfs_assoc_lock is an odd piece of locking. In general, whoever owns
a kobject is responsible for synchronizing sysfs operations and sysfs
proper assumes that, for example, removal won't race with any other
operation; however, this doesn't work for symlinking because an entity
performing symlink doesn't usually own the target kobject and thus has
no control over its removal.
sysfs_assoc_lock synchronizes symlink operations against kobj->sd
disassociation so that symlink code doesn't end up dereferencing
already freed sysfs_dirent by racing with removal of the target
kobject.
This is quite obscure and the generic name of the lock and lack of
comments make it difficult to understand its role. Let's rename it to
sysfs_symlink_target_lock and add comments explaining what's going on.

3124eb1679 ("sysfs: merge regular and bin file handling") folded bin
file handling into regular file handling. Among other things, bin
file now shares the same open path including sysfs_open_dirent
association using sysfs_dirent->s_attr.open. This is buggy because
->s_bin_attr lives in the same union and doesn't have the field. This
bug doesn't trigger because sysfs_elem_bin_attr doesn't have an active
field at the conflicting position. It does have a field "buffers" but
it isn't used anymore.
This patch collapses sysfs_elem_bin_attr into sysfs_elem_attr so that
the bin_attr is accessed through ->s_attr.bin_attr which lives with
->s_attr.attr in an anonymous union. The code paths already assume
bin_attr contains attr as the first element, so this doesn't add any
more assumptions while making it explicit that the two types are
handled together.

375b611e60 ("sysfs: remove sysfs_buffer->ops") introduced
sysfs_file_ops() which determines the associated file operation of a
given sysfs_dirent. As file ops access should be protected by an
active reference, the new function includes a lockdep assertion on the
sysfs_dirent; unfortunately, I forgot to take attr->ignore_lockdep
flag into account and the lockdep assertion trips spuriously for files
which opt out from active reference lockdep checking.

With the previous changes, sysfs regular file code is ready to handle

path.
* sysfs_create/remove_bin_file() are moved to fs/sysfs/file.c.
* sysfs_init_inode() is updated to use the new sysfs_bin_operations
instead of bin_fops for bin files.
* fs/sysfs/bin.c and the related pieces are removed.
This patch shouldn't introduce any behavior difference to bin file

Overall, this unification reduces the amount of duplicate logic, makes
behaviors more consistent and paves the road for building simpler and

sysfs_addrm_start/finish() enclose sysfs_dirent additions and

to finish the operations. Currently, sysfs_addrm_start() takes
@parent_sd, records it in sysfs_addrm_cxt, and assumes that all

This assumption has been fine until now but we want to make some
operations behave recursively and, while having @parent_sd recorded in
sysfs_addrm_cxt doesn't necessarily prevents that, it becomes
confusing.
This patch removes sysfs_addrm_cxt->parent_sd and makes

The way namespace tags are implemented in sysfs is more complicated
than necessary. As each tag is a pointer value and required to be
non-NULL under a namespace enabled parent, there's no need to record
separately what type each tag is or where namespace is enabled.
If multiple namespace types are needed, which currently aren't, we can
simply compare the tag to a set of allowed tags in the superblock
assuming that the tags, being pointers, won't have the same value
across multiple types. Also, whether to filter by namespace tag or
not can be trivially determined by whether the node has any tagged
children or not.
This patch rips out kobj_ns_type handling from sysfs. sysfs no longer
cares whether specific type of namespace is enabled or not. If a
sysfs_dirent has a non-NULL tag, the parent is marked as needing
namespace filtering and the value is tested against the allowed set of
tags for the superblock (currently only one but increasing this number
isn't difficult) and the sysfs_dirent is ignored if it doesn't match.
This removes most kobject namespace knowledge from sysfs proper which
will enable proper separation and layering of sysfs. The namespace
sanity checks in fs/sysfs/dir.c are replaced by the new sanity check
in kobject_namespace(). As this is the only place ktype->namespace()
is called for sysfs, this doesn't weaken the sanity check
significantly. I omitted converting the sanity check in
sysfs_do_create_link_sd(). While the check can be shifted to upper
layer, mistakes there are well contained and should be easily visible
anyway.

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 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.

Acknowledge that the logical sysfs rwsem has one instance per
sysfs attribute with different locking depencencies for different
attributes.
There is a sysfs idiom where writing to one sysfs file causes the
addition or removal of other sysfs files. Lumping all of the
sysfs attributes together in one lock class causes lockdep to
generate lots of false positives.
This introduces the requirement that non-static sysfs attributes
need to be initialized with sysfs_attr_init or sysfs_bin_attr_init.
Strictly speaking this requirement only exists when lockdep is
enabled, and when lockdep is enabled we get a bit fat warning

If we exclude directories and symlinks from the set of sysfs
dirents where we need active references we are left with
sysfs attributes (binary or not).
- Tweak sysfs_deactivate to only do something on attributes
- Move lockdep initialization into sysfs_file_add_mode to
limit it to just attributes.

It turns out that holding an active reference on a directory is
pointless. The purpose of the active references are to allows us to
block when removing sysfs entries that have custom methods so we don't
remove modules while running modular code and to keep those custom
methods from accessing data structures after the files have been
removed. Further sysfs_remove_dir remove all elements in the
directory before removing the directory itself, so there is no chance
we will remove a directory with active children.

Holding locks over device_del -> kobject_del -> sysfs_deactivate can
cause deadlocks if those same locks are grabbed in sysfs show or store
methods.
The I model s_active count + completion as a sleeping read/write lock.
I describe to lockdep sysfs_get_active as a read_trylock,
sysfs_put_active as a read_unlock, and sysfs_deactivate as a
write_lock and write_unlock pair. This seems to capture the essence
for purposes of finding deadlocks, and in my testing gives finds real
issues and ignores non-issues.
This brings us back to holding locks over kobject_del is a problem
that ideally we should find a way of addressing, but at least lockdep
can tell us about the problems instead of requiring developers to debug
rare strange system deadlocks, that happen when sysfs files are removed
while being written to.

These two functions do 90% of the same work and it doesn't significantly
obfuscate the function to allow both the parent dir and the name to change
at the same time. So merge them together to simplify maintenance, and
increase testing.

By teaching sysfs_revalidate to hide a dentry for
a sysfs_dirent if the sysfs_dirent has been renamed,
and by teaching sysfs_lookup to return the original
dentry if the sysfs dirent has been renamed. I can
show the results of renames correctly without having to
update the dcache during the directory rename.
This massively simplifies the rename logic allowing a lot
of weird sysfs special cases to be removed along with
a lot of now unnecesary helper code.

With lazy inode updates and dentry operations bringing everything
into sync on demand there is no longer any need to immediately
update the vfs or grab i_mutex to protect those updates as we
make changes to sysfs.

With the implementation of sysfs_getattr and sysfs_permission
sysfs becomes able to lazily propogate inode attribute changes
from the sysfs_dirents to the vfs inodes. This paves the way
for deleting significant chunks of now unnecessary code.
While doing this we did not reference sysfs_setattr from
sysfs_symlink_inode_operations so I added along with
sysfs_getattr and sysfs_permission.

Cleanly separate the work that is specific to setting the
attributes of a sysfs_dirent from what is needed to update
the attributes of a vfs inode.
Additionally grab the sysfs_mutex to keep any nasties from
surprising us when updating the sysfs_dirent.
