There are currently 2 ways to create a set of sysfs files for a
kobj_type, through the default_attrs field, and the default_groups
field. Move the nilfs2 code to use default_groups field which has been
the preferred way since aa30f47cf6 ("kobject: Add support for default
attribute groups to kobj_type") so that we can soon get rid of the
obsolete default_attrs field.

In nilfs_##name##_attr_release, kobj->parent should not be referenced
because it is a NULL pointer. The release() method of kobject is always
called in kobject_put(kobj), in the implementation of kobject_put(), the
kobj->parent will be assigned as NULL before call the release() method.
So just use kobj to get the subgroups, which is more efficient and can fix
a NULL pointer reference problem.

If kobject_init_and_add return with error, then the cleanup of kobject
is needed because memory may be allocated in kobject_init_and_add
without freeing.
And the place of cleanup_dev_kobject should use kobject_put to free the
memory associated with the kobject. As the section "Kobject removal" of
"Documentation/core-api/kobject.rst" says, kobject_del() just makes the
kobject "invisible", but it is not cleaned up. And no more cleanup will
do after cleanup_dev_kobject, so kobject_put is needed here.

Merge tag 'printk-for-5.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux
Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Add %pt[RT]s modifier to vsprintf(). It overrides ISO 8601 separator
by using ' ' (space). It produces "YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:SS" instead of
"YYYY-mm-ddTHH:MM:SS".
- Correctly parse long row of numbers by sscanf() when using the field
width. Add extensive sscanf() selftest.
- Generalize re-entrant CPU lock that has already been used to
serialize dump_stack() output. It is part of the ongoing printk
rework. It will allow to remove the obsoleted printk_safe buffers and
introduce atomic consoles.
- Some code clean up and sparse warning fixes.

My local syzbot instance hit memory leak in nilfs2. The problem was in
missing kobject_put() in nilfs_sysfs_delete_device_group().
kobject_del() does not call kobject_cleanup() for passed kobject and it
leads to leaking duped kobject name if kobject_put() was not called.

The superblock and segment timestamps are used only internally in nilfs2
and can be read out using sysfs.
Since we are using the old 'get_seconds()' interface and store the data
as timestamps, the behavior differs slightly between 64-bit and 32-bit
kernels, the latter will show incorrect timestamps after 2038 in sysfs,
and presumably fail completely in 2106 as comparisons go wrong.
This changes nilfs2 to use time64_t with ktime_get_real_seconds() to
handle timestamps, making the behavior consistent and correct on both
32-bit and 64-bit machines.
The on-disk format already uses 64-bit timestamps, so nothing changes
there.

This patchset implements creation of sysfs groups and attributes with
the purpose to show NILFS2 volume details, internal state of the driver
and to manage internal state of NILFS2 driver.
Sysfs is a virtual file system that exports information about devices
and drivers from the kernel device model to user space, and is also used
for configuration. NILFS2 is a complex file system that has segctor
thread, GC thread, checkpoint/snapshot model and so on. Sysfs namespace
provides native and easy way for: (1) getting info and statistics about
volume state; (2) getting info and configuration of internal subsystems
(segctor thread); (3) snapshots management.
Suggested patchset provides basis for managing segctor thread behaviour
and manipulation by snapshots. Currently, it informs only about segctor
thread's internal parameters and about mounted snapshots. But sysfs
interface can provide easy and simple way for deep management of segctor
thread and snapshots.
This patchset provides opportunity to manage interval of periodical
update of superblock (in seconds). Default value is 10 seconds. Now a
user can increase this value by means of
nilfs2/<device>/superblock/sb_update_frequency attribute in the case of
necessity.
Also the patchset provides opportunity to get information easily about
key volumes's parameters (free blocks, superblock write count,
superblock update frequency, latest segment info, dirty data blocks
count, count of clean segments, count of dirty segments and so on) in
real time manner. Such information can be used in scripts for subtle
management of filesystem.
Implemented functionality creates such groups:
(1) /sys/fs/nilfs2 - root group
(2) /sys/fs/nilfs2/features - group contains attributes that describe NILFS
file system driver features
(3) /sys/fs/nilfs2/<device> - group contains attributes that describe file
system partition's details
(4) /sys/fs/nilfs2/<device>/superblock - group contains attributes that describe
superblock's details
(5) /sys/fs/nilfs2/<device>/segctor - group contains attributes that describe
segctor thread activity details
(6) /sys/fs/nilfs2/<device>/segments - group contains attributes that describe
details about volume's segments
(7) /sys/fs/nilfs2/<device>/checkpoints - group contains attributes that describe
details about volume's checkpoints
(8) /sys/fs/nilfs2/<device>/mounted_snapshots - group contains group for every
mounted snapshot
(9) /sys/fs/nilfs2/<device>/mounted_snapshots/<snapshot> - group contains
details about mounted snapshot
This patch (of 9):
This patch adds code of creation /sys/fs/nilfs2 group and
/sys/fs/nilfs2/features group.
The features group contains attributes that describe NILFS
file system driver features:
(1) revision - show current revision of NILFS file system driver.
There are two formats of timestamp output - seconds and human-readable
format. Every showed timestamp has two sysfs files (time-<xxx> and
time-<xxx>-secs). One sysfs file (time-<xxx>) shows time in
human-readable format. Another sysfs file (time-<xxx>-secs) shows time in
seconds.
It was reported by Michael Semon that timestamp output in human-readable
format should be changed from "2014-4-12 14:5:38" to "2014-04-12
14:05:38". Second version of the patch fixes this issue.
