481e20799b driver core: Replace the dangerous to_root_device macro with an inline function
The original macro worked only when applied to variables named 'dev'.
While this could have been fixed by simply renaming the macro argument,
a more type-safe replacement by an inline function is preferred.

e52eec13cd SYSFS: Allow boot time switching between deprecated and modern sysfs layout
I have some systems which need legacy sysfs due to old tools that are
making assumptions that a directory can never be a symlink to another
directory, and it's a big hazzle to compile separate kernels for them.

This patch turns CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED into a run time option
that can be switched on/off the kernel command line. This way
the same binary can be used in both cases with just a option
on the command line.

The old CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 option is still there to set
the default. I kept the weird name to not break existing
config files.

Also the compat code can be still completely disabled by undefining
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_SWITCH -- just the optimizer takes
care of this now instead of lots of ifdefs. This makes the code
look nicer.

v2: This is an updated version on top of Kay's patch to only
handle the block devices. I tested it on my old systems
and that seems to work.

24b1442d01 Driver-core: Always create class directories for classses that support namespaces.
This fixes the regression in 2.6.35-rcX where bluetooth network devices
would fail to be deleted from sysfs, causing their destruction and
recreation to fail.  In addition this fixes the mac80211_hwsim driver
where it would leave around sysfs files when the driver was removed.

This problem is discussed at
  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16257

The reason for the regression is that the network namespace support
added to sysfs expects and requires that network devices be put in
directories that can contain only network devices.

Today get_device_parent almost provides that guarantee for all class
devices, except for a specific exception when the parent of a class
devices is a class device.  It would be nice to simply remove that
arguably incorrect special case, but apparently the input devices depend
on it being there.  So I have only removed it for class devices with
network namespace support.  Which today are the network devices.

It has been suggested that a better fix would be to change the parent
device from a class device to a bus device, which in the case of the
bluetooth driver would change /sys/class/bluetooth to /sys/bus/bluetoth,
I can not see how we would avoid significant userspace breakage if we
were to make that change.

Adding an extra directory in the path to the device will also be
userspace visible but it is much less likely to break things.
Everything is still accessible from /sys/class (for example), and it
fixes two bugs.  Adding an extra directory fixes a 3 year old regression
introduced with the new sysfs layout that makes it impossible to rename
bnep0 network devices to names that conflict with hci device attributes
like hci_revsion.  Adding an additional directory removes the new
failure modes introduced by the network namespace code.

If it weren't for the regession in the renaming of network devices I
would figure out how to just make the sysfs code deal with this
configuration of devices.

In summary this patch fixes regressions by changing:
"/sys/class/bluetooth/hci0/bnep0" to "/sys/class/bluetooth/hci0/net/bnep0".

6245838fe4 Driver core: Protect device shutdown from hot unplug events.
While device_shutdown() walks through devices_kset to shutdown all

Specifically, sd_shutdown(), on behalf of fc_starget_delete(), has
been observed deleting devices during device_shutdown()'s list
traversal.  So we factor out list_for_each_entry_safe_reverse(...) in
favor of while (!list_empty(...)).

The problem is that kobject_add_internal() first adds a kobject to the
kset and then try to create sysfs directory for it.  If the creation
fails, it remove the kobject from the kset.  get_device_parent()
accesses class_dirs kset while only holding class_dirs.list_lock to
see whether the cuse class dir exists.  But when it exists, it may not
have finished initialization yet or may fail and get removed soon.  In
the above case, the former happened so the second one ends up trying
to create subdirectory under NULL sysfs_dirent.

Fix it by grabbing a mutex in get_device_parent().

e6309e7568 Driver-core: Fix bogus 0 error return in device_add()
If device_add() is called with a device which does not have dev->p set
up, then device_private_init() is called. If that succeeds, then the
error variable is set to 0. Now if the dev_name(dev) check further
down fails, then device_add() correctly terminates, but returns 0.
That of course lets the driver progress. If later another driver uses
this half set up device as parent then device_add() of the child
device explodes and renders sysfs completely unusable.

Set the error to -EINVAL if dev_name() check fails.

device_shutdown is defined to just shutdown the hardware and to not
clean up any kernel data structures.  Therefore don't put the kobjects
for /sys/dev and /sys/dev/block and /sys/dev/char.

This ensures we don't remove /sys/dev/block and /sys/dev/char while
we still have symlinks from there to the actual devices.

e454cea20b Driver-Core: extend devnode callbacks to provide permissions
This allows subsytems to provide devtmpfs with non-default permissions
for the device node. Instead of the default mode of 0600, null, zero,
random, urandom, full, tty, ptmx now have a mode of 0666, which allows
non-privileged processes to access standard device nodes in case no
other userspace process applies the expected permissions.

This also fixes a wrong assignment in pktcdvd and a checkpatch.pl complain.

2b2af54a5b Driver Core: devtmpfs - kernel-maintained tmpfs-based /dev
Devtmpfs lets the kernel create a tmpfs instance called devtmpfs
very early at kernel initialization, before any driver-core device
is registered. Every device with a major/minor will provide a
device node in devtmpfs.

Devtmpfs can be changed and altered by userspace at any time,
and in any way needed - just like today's udev-mounted tmpfs.
Unmodified udev versions will run just fine on top of it, and will
recognize an already existing kernel-created device node and use it.
The default node permissions are root:root 0600. Proper permissions
and user/group ownership, meaningful symlinks, all other policy still
needs to be applied by userspace.

If a node is created by devtmps, devtmpfs will remove the device node
when the device goes away. If the device node was created by
userspace, or the devtmpfs created node was replaced by userspace, it
will no longer be removed by devtmpfs.

If it is requested to auto-mount it, it makes init=/bin/sh work
without any further userspace support. /dev will be fully populated
and dynamic, and always reflect the current device state of the kernel.
With the commonly used dynamic device numbers, it solves the problem
where static devices nodes may point to the wrong devices.

It is intended to make the initial bootup logic simpler and more robust,
by de-coupling the creation of the inital environment, to reliably run
userspace processes, from a complex userspace bootstrap logic to provide
a working /dev.

2023c610dc Driver core: add new device to bus's list before probing
This patch (as1271) affects when new devices get linked into their
bus's list of devices.  Currently this happens after probing, and it
doesn't happen at all if probing fails.  Clearly this is wrong,
because at that point quite a few symbolic links have already been
created in sysfs.  We are committed to adding the device, so it should
be linked into the bus's list regardless.

In addition, this needs to happen before the uevent announcing the new
device gets issued.  Otherwise user programs might try to access the
device before it has been added to the bus.

To fix both these problems, the patch moves the call to
klist_add_tail() forward from bus_attach_device() to bus_add_device().
Since bus_attach_device() now does nothing but probe for drivers, it
has been renamed to bus_probe_device().  And lastly, the kerneldoc is
updated.

8a577ffc75 driver: dont update dev_name via device_add path
notice one system /proc/iomem some entries missed the name for pci_devices

it turns that dev->dev.kobj name is changed after device_add.

for pci code: via acpi_pci_root_driver.ops.add (aka acpi_pci_root_add)
==> pci_acpi_scan_root is used to scan pci bus/device, and at the same
time we read the resource for pci_dev in the pci_read_bases, we have
res->name = pci_name(pci_dev); pci_name is calling dev_name.

later via acpi_pci_root_driver.ops.start (aka acpi_pci_root_start) ==>
pci_bus_add_device to add all pci_dev in kobj tree.  pci_bus_add_device
will call device_add.

actually in device_add

        /* first, register with generic layer. */
        error = kobject_add(&dev->kobj, dev->kobj.parent, "%s", dev_name(dev));
        if (error)
                goto Error;

will get one new name for that kobj, old name is freed.

f67f129e51 Driver core: implement uevent suppress in kobject
This patch implements uevent suppress in kobject and removes it
from struct device, based on the following ideas:

1,Uevent sending should be one attribute of kobject, so suppressing it
in kobject layer is more natural than in device layer. By this way,
we can do it for other objects embedded with kobject.

2,It may save several bytes for each instance of struct device.(On my
omap3(32bit ARM) based box, can save 8bytes per device object)

This patch also introduces dev_set|get_uevent_suppress() helpers to
set and query uevent_suppress attribute in case to help kobject
as private part of struct device in future.
