Al Viro 25b229dff4 fsnotify(): switch to passing const struct qstr * for file_name
Note that in fnsotify_move() and fsnotify_link() we are guaranteed
that dentry->d_name won't change during the fsnotify() evaluation
(by having the parent directory locked exclusive), so we don't
need to fetch dentry->d_name.name in the callers.  In fsnotify_dirent()
the same stability of dentry->d_name is also true, but it's a bit
more convoluted - there is one callchain (devpts_pty_new() ->
fsnotify_create() -> fsnotify_dirent()) where the parent is _not_
locked, but on devpts ->d_name of everything is unchanging; it
has neither explicit nor implicit renames.

Johannes Weiner 147e1a97c4 fs: kernfs: add poll file operation
Patch series "psi: pressure stall monitors", v3.

Android is adopting psi to detect and remedy memory pressure that
results in stuttering and decreased responsiveness on mobile devices.

Psi gives us the stall information, but because we're dealing with
latencies in the millisecond range, periodically reading the pressure
files to detect stalls in a timely fashion is not feasible.  Psi also
doesn't aggregate its averages at a high enough frequency right now.

This patch series extends the psi interface such that users can
configure sensitive latency thresholds and use poll() and friends to be
notified when these are breached.

As high-frequency aggregation is costly, it implements an aggregation
method that is optimized for fast, short-interval averaging, and makes
the aggregation frequency adaptive, such that high-frequency updates
only happen while monitored stall events are actively occurring.

With these patches applied, Android can monitor for, and ward off,
mounting memory shortages before they cause problems for the user.  For
example, using memory stall monitors in userspace low memory killer
daemon (lmkd) we can detect mounting pressure and kill less important
processes before device becomes visibly sluggish.

In our memory stress testing psi memory monitors produce roughly 10x
less false positives compared to vmpressure signals.  Having ability to
specify multiple triggers for the same psi metric allows other parts of
Android framework to monitor memory state of the device and act
accordingly.

The new interface is straightforward.  The user opens one of the
pressure files for writing and writes a trigger description into the
file descriptor that defines the stall state - some or full, and the
maximum stall time over a given window of time.  E.g.:

        /* Signal when stall time exceeds 100ms of a 1s window */
        char trigger[] = "full 100000 1000000";
        fd = open("/proc/pressure/memory");
        write(fd, trigger, sizeof(trigger));
        while (poll() >= 0) {
                ...
        }
        close(fd);

When the monitored stall state is entered, psi adapts its aggregation
frequency according to what the configured time window requires in order
to emit event signals in a timely fashion.  Once the stalling subsides,
aggregation reverts back to normal.

The trigger is associated with the open file descriptor.  To stop
monitoring, the user only needs to close the file descriptor and the
trigger is discarded.

Patches 1-4 prepare the psi code for polling support.  Patch 5
implements the adaptive polling logic, the pressure growth detection
optimized for short intervals, and hooks up write() and poll() on the
pressure files.

The patches were developed in collaboration with Johannes Weiner.

This patch (of 5):

Kernfs has a standardized poll/notification mechanism for waking all
pollers on all fds when a filesystem node changes.  To allow polling for
custom events, add a .poll callback that can override the default.

This is in preparation for pollable cgroup pressure files which have
per-fd trigger configurations.

Radu Rendec 03c0a9208b kernfs: Improve kernfs_notify() poll notification latency
kernfs_notify() does two notifications: poll and fsnotify. Originally,
both notifications were done from scheduled work context and all that
kernfs_notify() did was schedule the work.

This patch simply moves the poll notification from the scheduled work
handler to kernfs_notify(). The fsnotify notification still needs to be
done from scheduled work context because it can sleep (it needs to lock
a mutex).

If the poll notification is time critical (the notified thread needs to
wake as quickly as possible), it's better to do it from kernfs_notify()
directly. One example is calling sysfs_notify_dirent() from a hardware
interrupt handler to wake up a thread and handle the interrupt in user
space.

Dmitry Torokhov 488dee96bb kernfs: allow creating kernfs objects with arbitrary uid/gid
This change allows creating kernfs files and directories with arbitrary
uid/gid instead of always using GLOBAL_ROOT_UID/GID by extending
kernfs_create_dir_ns() and kernfs_create_file_ns() with uid/gid arguments.
The "simple" kernfs_create_file() and kernfs_create_dir() are left alone
and always create objects belonging to the global root.

When creating symlinks ownership (uid/gid) is taken from the target kernfs
object.

Linus Torvalds a9a08845e9 vfs: do bulk POLL* -> EPOLL* replacement
This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

Waiman Long 39bf04db6b kernfs: Clarify lockdep name for kn->count
The reference count in kernfs_node structure is treated like a rwsem by
using lockdep instrumentation code. The lockdep name, however, is still
"s_active" which is carried over from the old sysfs code. As s_active
is no longer the variable name, its use may confuse users on where the
lock is when it is reported by lockdep. So it is changed to "kn->count"
which is how this variable is normally referenced in kernfs code.

When working on adding exportfs operations in kernfs, I found it's hard
to initialize dentry->d_fsdata in the exportfs operations. Looks there
is no way to do it without race condition. Look at the kernfs code
closely, there is no point to set dentry->d_fsdata. inode->i_private
already points to kernfs_node, and we can get inode from a dentry. So
this patch just delete the d_fsdata usage.

Vaibhav Jain 966fa72a71 kernfs: Check KERNFS_HAS_RELEASE before calling kernfs_release_file()
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:

Tejun Heo f83f3c5156 kernfs: fix locking around kernfs_ops->release() callback
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.

Tony Luck 2a9becdd4d kernfs: Add noop_fsync to supported kernfs_file_fops
If you edit a kernfs backed file with vi(1), you see an ugly error
message when you write the file because vi tries to fsync(2) the
file after writing, which fails.

We have noop_fsync() for this, use it.

Tejun Heo df6a58c5c5 kernfs: don't depend on d_find_any_alias() when generating notifications
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.

Highly unlikely though this scenario is, we can avoid the issue entirely
by moving the copy operation from out under the kernfs_get_active()
tracking by assigning the preallocated buffer its own mutex. The
temporary buffer allocation doesn't require mutex locking as it is
entirely local.

The locked section was extended by the addition of the preallocated buf

NeilBrown 7cff4b1836 kernfs: handle poll correctly on 'direct_read' files.
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.

Tejun Heo dfeb0750b6 kernfs: remove KERNFS_STATIC_NAME
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.

NeilBrown 4ef67a8c95 sysfs/kernfs: make read requests on pre-alloc files use the buffer.
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.

NeilBrown 2b75869bba sysfs/kernfs: allow attributes to request write buffer be pre-allocated.
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.

Tejun Heo ecca47ce82 kernfs: kernfs_notify() must be useable from non-sleepable contexts
d911d98748 ("kernfs: make kernfs_notify() trigger inotify events
too") added fsnotify triggering to kernfs_notify() which requires a
sleepable context.  There are already existing users of
kernfs_notify() which invoke it from an atomic context and in general
it's silly to require a sleepable context for triggering a
notification.

The following is an invalid context bug triggerd by md invoking
sysfs_notify() from IO completion path.

This patch fixes it by punting the notification delivery through a
work item.  This ends up adding an extra pointer to kernfs_elem_attr
enlarging kernfs_node by a pointer, which is not ideal but not a very
big deal either.  If this turns out to be an actual issue, we can move
kernfs_elem_attr->size to kernfs_node->iattr later.

Tejun Heo 555724a831 kernfs, sysfs, cgroup: restrict extra perm check on open to sysfs
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.

Tejun Heo b44b214026 kernfs: add back missing error check in kernfs_fop_mmap()
While updating how mmap enabled kernfs files are handled by lockdep,
9b2db6e189 ("sysfs: bail early from kernfs_file_mmap() to avoid
spurious lockdep warning") inadvertently dropped error return check
from kernfs_file_mmap().  The intention was just dropping "if
(ops->mmap)" check as the control won't reach the point if the mmap
callback isn't implemented, but I mistakenly removed the error return
check together with it.

This led to Xorg crash on i810 which was reported and bisected to the

Tejun Heo d911d98748 kernfs: make kernfs_notify() trigger inotify events too
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.

Tejun Heo b7ce40cff0 kernfs: cache atomic_write_len in kernfs_open_file
While implementing atomic_write_len, 4d3773c4bb ("kernfs: implement

kernfs_get_active() and kernfs_open_file->mutex so that
kernfs_ops->atomic_write_len can be accessed before copying buffer
from userland; unfortunately, this could lead to locking order
inversion involving mmap_sem if copy_from_user() takes a page fault.

Tejun Heo 4d3773c4bb kernfs: implement kernfs_ops->atomic_write_len
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.

Tejun Heo 988cd7afb3 kernfs: remove kernfs_addrm_cxt
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()
and remove kernfs_addrm_cxt and kernfs_addrm_start/finish().

* kernfs_add_one() is updated to grab and release kernfs_mutex itself.
  sysfs_addrm_start/finish() invocations around it are removed from
  all users.

* __kernfs_remove() puts an unlinked node directly instead of chaining
  it to kernfs_addrm_cxt.  Its callers are updated to grab and release
  kernfs_mutex instead of calling kernfs_addrm_start/finish() around
  it.

Tejun Heo db4aad209b kernfs: associate a new kernfs_node with its parent on creation
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.

Tejun Heo bb305947bd kernfs: fix get_active failure handling in kernfs_seq_*()
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().

tj: This was originally committed as d92d2e6bd7 but got reverted by

Tejun Heo 99177a3411 kernfs: remove kernfs_addrm_cxt
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()
and remove kernfs_addrm_cxt and kernfs_addrm_start/finish().

* kernfs_add_one() is updated to grab and release the parent's active
  ref and kernfs_mutex itself.  kernfs_get/put_active() and
  kernfs_addrm_start/finish() invocations around it are removed from
  all users.

* __kernfs_remove() puts an unlinked node directly instead of chaining
  it to kernfs_addrm_cxt.  Its callers are updated to grab and release
  kernfs_mutex instead of calling kernfs_addrm_start/finish() around
  it.

v2: Updated to fit the v2 restructuring of removal path.

Tejun Heo f601f9a2bf kernfs: invoke kernfs_unmap_bin_file() directly from __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.

v2: Rewritten to fit the v2 restructuring of removal path.  HAS_MMAP
    test relocated.

Tejun Heo ae34372eb8 kernfs: remove KERNFS_REMOVED
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.

Tejun Heo d92d2e6bd7 kernfs: fix get_active failure handling in kernfs_seq_*()
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().

Tejun Heo 2063d608f5 kernfs: mark static names with KERNFS_STATIC_NAME
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 patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes.
