Recently started seeing a kernel oops when a module tries removing a
memory mapped sysfs bin_attribute. On closer investigation the root
cause seems to be kernfs_release_file() trying to call
kernfs_op.release() callback that's NULL for such sysfs
bin_attributes. The oops occurs when kernfs_release_file() is called from
kernfs_drain_open_files() to cleanup any open handles with active
memory mappings.
The patch fixes this by checking for flag KERNFS_HAS_RELEASE before
calling kernfs_release_file() in function kernfs_drain_open_files().
On ppc64-le arch with cxl module the oops back-trace is of the
form below:

- kernel/cgroup.c got too chubby and disorganized. Created

under kernel/ there and reorganized the core code. This hurts for
backporting patches but was long overdue.
- cgroup v2 process listing reimplemented so that it no longer
depends on allocating a buffer large enough to cache the entire
result to sort and uniq the output. v2 has always mangled the sort
order to ensure that users don't depend on the sorted output, so
this shouldn't surprise anybody. This makes the pid listing
functions use the same iterators that are used internally, which
have to have the same iterating capabilities anyway.
- perf cgroup filtering now works automatically on cgroup v2. This
patch was posted a long time ago but somehow fell through the
cracks.
- misc fixes asnd documentation updates"

The release callback may be called from two places - file release
operation and kernfs open file draining. kernfs_open_file->mutex is
used to synchronize the two callsites. This unfortunately leads to
possible circular locking because of->mutex is used to protect the
usual kernfs operations which may use locking constructs which are
held while removing and thus draining kernfs files.
@of->mutex is for synchronizing concurrent kernfs access operations
and all we need here is synchronization between the releaes and drain
paths. As the drain path has to grab kernfs_open_file_mutex anyway,
let's use the mutex to synchronize the release operation instead.

kernfs_notify_workfn() sends out file modified events for the
scheduled kernfs_nodes. Because the modifications aren't from
userland, it doesn't have the matching file struct at hand and can't
use fsnotify_modify(). Instead, it looked up the inode and then used
d_find_any_alias() to find the dentry and used fsnotify_parent() and
fsnotify() directly to generate notifications.
The assumption was that the relevant dentries would have been pinned
if there are listeners, which isn't true as inotify doesn't pin
dentries at all and watching the parent doesn't pin the child dentries
even for dnotify. This led to, for example, inotify watchers not
getting notifications if the system is under memory pressure and the
matching dentries got reclaimed. It can also be triggered through
/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches or a remount attempt which involves shrinking
dcache.
fsnotify_parent() only uses the dentry to access the parent inode,
which kernfs can do easily. Update kernfs_notify_workfn() so that it
uses fsnotify() directly for both the parent and target inodes without
going through d_find_any_alias(). While at it, supply the target file
name to fsnotify() from kernfs_node->name.

Kernfs supports two styles of read: direct_read and seqfile_read.
The latter supports 'poll' correctly thanks to the update of
'->event' in kernfs_seq_show.
The former does not as '->event' is never updated on a read.
So add an appropriate update in kernfs_file_direct_read().
This was noticed because some 'md' sysfs attributes were
recently changed to use direct reads.

When a new kernfs node is created, KERNFS_STATIC_NAME is used to avoid
making a separate copy of its name. It's currently only used for sysfs
attributes whose filenames are required to stay accessible and unchanged.
There are rare exceptions where these names are allocated and formatted
dynamically but for the vast majority of cases they're consts in the
rodata section.
Now that kernfs is converted to use kstrdup_const() and kfree_const(),
there's little point in keeping KERNFS_STATIC_NAME around. Remove it.

To match the previous patch which used the pre-alloc buffer for
writes, this patch causes reads to use the same buffer.
This is not strictly necessary as the current seq_read() will allocate
on first read, so user-space can trigger the required pre-alloc. But
consistency is valuable.
The read function is somewhat simpler than seq_read() and, for example,
does not support reading from an offset into the file: reads must be
at the start of the file.
As seq_read() does not use the prealloc buffer, ->seq_show is
incompatible with ->prealloc and caused an EINVAL return from open().
sysfs code which calls into kernfs always chooses the correct function.
As the buffer is shared with writes and other reads, the mutex is
extended to cover the copy_to_user.

md/raid allows metadata management to be performed in user-space.
A various times, particularly on device failure, the metadata needs
to be updated before further writes can be permitted.
This means that the user-space program which updates metadata much
not block on writeout, and so must not allocate memory.
mlockall(MCL_CURRENT|MCL_FUTURE) and pre-allocation can avoid all
memory allocation issues for user-memory, but that does not help
kernel memory.
Several kernel objects can be pre-allocated. e.g. files opened before
any writes to the array are permitted.
However some kernel allocation happens in places that cannot be
pre-allocated.
In particular, writes to sysfs files (to tell md that it can now
allow writes to the array) allocate a buffer using GFP_KERNEL.
This patch allows attributes to be marked as "PREALLOC". In that case
the maximal buffer is allocated when the file is opened, and then used
on each write instead of allocating a new buffer.
As the same buffer is now shared for all writes on the same file
description, the mutex is extended to cover full use of the buffer
including the copy_from_user().
The new __ATTR_PREALLOC() 'or's a new flag in to the 'mode', which is
inspected by sysfs_add_file_mode_ns() to determine if the file should be
marked as requiring prealloc.
Despite the comment, we *do* use ->seq_show together with ->prealloc
in this patch. The next patch fixes that.

The kernfs open method - kernfs_fop_open() - inherited extra
permission checks from sysfs. While the vfs layer allows ignoring the
read/write permissions checks if the issuer has CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE,
sysfs explicitly denied open regardless of the cap if the file doesn't
have any of the UGO perms of the requested access or doesn't implement
the requested operation. It can be debated whether this was a good
idea or not but the behavior is too subtle and dangerous to change at
this point.
After cgroup got converted to kernfs, this extra perm check also got
applied to cgroup breaking libcgroup which opens write-only files with
O_RDWR as root. This patch gates the extra open permission check with
a new flag KERNFS_ROOT_EXTRA_OPEN_PERM_CHECK and enables it for sysfs.
For sysfs, nothing changes. For cgroup, root now can perform any
operation regardless of the permissions as it was before kernfs
conversion. Note that kernfs still fails unimplemented operations
with -EINVAL.
While at it, add comments explaining KERNFS_ROOT flags.

kernfs_notify() is used to indicate either new data is available or
the content of a file has changed. It currently only triggers poll
which may not be the most convenient to monitor especially when there
are a lot to monitor. Let's hook it up to fsnotify too so that the
events can be monitored via inotify too.
fsnotify_modify() requires file * but kernfs_notify() doesn't have any
specific file associated; however, we can walk all super_blocks
associated with a kernfs_root and as kernfs always associate one ino
with inode and one dentry with an inode, it's trivial to look up the
dentry associated with a given kernfs_node. As any active monitor
would pin dentry, just looking up existing dentry is enough. This
patch looks up the dentry associated with the specified kernfs_node
and generates events equivalent to fsnotify_modify().
Note that as fsnotify doesn't provide fsnotify_modify() equivalent
which can be called with dentry, kernfs_notify() directly calls
fsnotify_parent() and fsnotify(). It might be better to add a wrapper
in fsnotify.h instead.

A write to a kernfs_node is buffered through a kernel buffer. Writes
<= PAGE_SIZE are performed atomically, while larger ones are executed
in PAGE_SIZE chunks. While this is enough for sysfs, cgroup which is
scheduled to be converted to use kernfs needs a bit more control over
it.
This patch adds kernfs_ops->atomic_write_len. If not set (zero), the
behavior stays the same. If set, writes upto the size are executed
atomically and larger writes are rejected with -E2BIG.
A different implementation strategy would be allowing configuring
chunking size while making the original write size available to the
write method; however, such strategy, while being more complicated,
doesn't really buy anything. If the write implementation has to
handle chunking, the specific chunk size shouldn't matter all that
much.

Once created, a kernfs_node is always destroyed by kernfs_put().
Since ba7443bc65 ("sysfs, kernfs: implement
kernfs_create/destroy_root()"), kernfs_put() depends on kernfs_root()
to locate the ino_ida. kernfs_root() in turn depends on
kernfs_node->parent being set for !dir nodes. This means that
kernfs_put() of a !dir node requires its ->parent to be initialized.
This leads to oops when a newly created !dir node is destroyed without
going through kernfs_add_one() or after failing kernfs_add_one()
before ->parent is set. kernfs_root() invoked from kernfs_put() will
try to dereference NULL parent.
Fix it by moving parent association to kernfs_new_node() from
kernfs_add_one(). kernfs_new_node() now takes @parent instead of
@root and determines the root from the parent and also sets the new
node's parent properly. @parent parameter is removed from
kernfs_add_one(). As there's no parent when creating the root node,
__kernfs_new_node() which takes @root as before and doesn't set the
parent is used in that case.
This ensures that a kernfs_node in any stage in its life has its
parent associated and thus can be put.

When kernfs_seq_start() fails to obtain an active reference, it
returns ERR_PTR(-ENODEV). kernfs_seq_stop() is then invoked with the
error pointer value; however, it still proceeds to invoke
kernfs_put_active() on the node leading to unbalanced put.
If kernfs_seq_stop() is called even after active ref failure, it
should skip invocation of @ops->seq_stop() and put_active.
Unfortunately, this is a bit complicated because active ref failure
isn't the only thing which may fail with ERR_PTR(-ENODEV).
@ops->seq_start/next() may also fail with the error value and
kernfs_seq_stop() doesn't have a way to tell apart those failures.
Work it around by factoring out the active part of kernfs_seq_stop()
into kernfs_seq_stop_active() and invoking it directly if
@ops->seq_start/next() fail with ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) and updating
kernfs_seq_stop() to skip kernfs_seq_stop_active() on
ERR_PTR(-ENODEV). This is a bit nasty but ensures that the active put
is skipped iff get_active failed in kernfs_seq_start().

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()

kernfs_unmap_bin_file() is supposed to unmap all memory mappings of
the target file before kernfs_remove() finishes; however, it currently
is being called from kernfs_addrm_finish() and has the same race
problem as the original implementation of deactivation when there are
multiple removers - only the remover which snatches the node to its
addrm_cxt->removed list is guaranteed to wait for its completion
before returning.
It can be fixed by moving kernfs_unmap_bin_file() invocation from
kernfs_addrm_finish() to __kernfs_remove(). The function may be
called multiple times but that shouldn't do any harm.
We end up dropping kernfs_mutex in the removal loop and the node may
be removed inbetween by someone else. kernfs_unlink_sibling() is
updated to test whether the node has already been removed and return
accordingly. __kernfs_remove() in turn performs post-unlinking
cleanup only if it actually unlinked the node.
KERNFS_HAS_MMAP test is moved out of the unmap function into
__kernfs_remove() so that we don't unlock kernfs_mutex unnecessarily.
While at it, drop the now meaningless "bin" qualifier from the
function name.

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
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.

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.

This is v3.14 fix for the same issue that a8b1474442 ("sysfs: give
different locking key to regular and bin files") addresses for v3.13.
Due to the extensive kernfs reorganization in v3.14 branch, the same
fix couldn't be ported as-is. The v3.13 fix was ignored while merging
it into v3.14 branch.
027a485d12 ("sysfs: use a separate locking class for open files
depending on mmap") assigned different lockdep key to
sysfs_open_file->mutex depending on whether the file implements mmap
or not in an attempt to avoid spurious lockdep warning caused by
merging of regular and bin file paths.
While this restored some of the original behavior of using different
locks (at least lockdep is concerned) for the different clases of
files. The restoration wasn't full because now the lockdep key
assignment depends on whether the file has mmap or not instead of
whether it's a regular file or not.
This means that bin files which don't implement mmap will get assigned
the same lockdep class as regular files. This is problematic because
file_operations for bin files still implements the mmap file operation
and checking whether the sysfs file actually implements mmap happens
in the file operation after grabbing @sysfs_open_file->mutex. We
still end up adding locking dependency from mmap locking to
sysfs_open_file->mutex to the regular file mutex which triggers
spurious circular locking warning.
For v3.13, a8b1474442 ("sysfs: give different locking key to regular
and bin files") fixed it by giving sysfs_open_file->mutex different
lockdep keys depending on whether the file is regular or bin instead
of whether mmap exists or not; however, due to the way sysfs is now
layered behind kernfs, this approach is no longer viable. kernfs can
tell whether a sysfs node has mmap implemented or not but can't tell
whether a bin file from a regular one.
This patch updates kernfs such that kernfs_file_mmap() checks
SYSFS_FLAG_HAS_MMAP and bail before grabbing sysfs_open_file->mutex so
that it doesn't add spurious locking dependency from mmap to
sysfs_open_file->mutex and changes sysfs so that it specifies
kernfs_ops->mmap iff the sysfs file implements mmap. Combined, this
ensures that sysfs_open_file->mutex is grabbed under mmap path iff the
sysfs file actually implements mmap. As sysfs_open_file->mutex is
already given a different lockdep key if mmap is implemented, this
removes the spurious locking dependency.
