  • 3794f3e81   docsrc: build Documentation/ sources ... Browse Code »

    Currently source files in the Documentation/ sub-dir can easily bit-rot
    since they are not generally buildable, either because they are hidden in
    text files or because there are no Makefile rules for them. This needs to
    be fixed so that the source files remain usable and good examples of code
    instead of bad examples.

    Add the ability to build source files that are in the Documentation/ dir.
    Add to Kconfig as "BUILD_DOCSRC" config symbol.

    Use "CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC=1 make ..." to build objects from the
    Documentation/ sources. Or enable BUILD_DOCSRC in the *config system.
    However, this symbol depends on HEADERS_CHECK since the header files need
    to be installed (for userspace builds).

    Built (using cross-tools) for x86-64, i386, alpha, ia64, sparc32,
    sparc64, powerpc, sh, m68k, & mips.

  • ecb3d28c7   [PATCH] configfs: Convenience macros for attribute definition. ... Browse Code »

    Sysfs has the _ATTR() and _ATTR_RO() macros to make defining extended
    form attributes easier. configfs should have something similiar.

    - _CONFIGFS_ATTR() and _CONFIGFS_ATTR_RO() are the counterparts to the
    sysfs macros.
    - CONFIGFS_ATTR_STRUCT() creates the extended form attribute structure.
    - CONFIGFS_ATTR_OPS() defines the show_attribute()/store_attribute()
    operations that call the show()/store() operations of the extended
    form configfs_attributes.

  • 11c3b7921   configfs: Allow ->make_item() and ->make_group() to return detailed errors. ... Browse Code »

    The configfs operations ->make_item() and ->make_group() currently
    return a new item/group. A return of NULL signifies an error. Because
    of this, -ENOMEM is the only return code bubbled up the stack.

    Multiple folks have requested the ability to return specific error codes
    when these operations fail. This patch adds that ability by changing the
    ->make_item/group() ops to return an int.

    Also updated are the in-kernel users of configfs.

  • 631d1feba   configfs: config item dependancies. ... Browse Code »

    Sometimes other drivers depend on particular configfs items. For
    example, ocfs2 mounts depend on a heartbeat region item. If that
    region item is removed with rmdir(2), the ocfs2 mount must BUG or go
    readonly. Not happy.

    This provides two additional API calls: configfs_depend_item() and
    configfs_undepend_item(). A client driver can call
    configfs_depend_item() on an existing item to tell configfs that it is
    depended on. configfs will then return -EBUSY from rmdir(2) for that
    item. When the item is no longer depended on, the client driver calls
    configfs_undepend_item() on it.

    These API cannot be called underneath any configfs callbacks, as
    they will conflict. They can block and allocate. A client driver
    probably shouldn't calling them of its own gumption. Rather it should
    be providing an API that external subsystems call.

    How does this work? Imagine the ocfs2 mount process. When it mounts,
    it asks for a heart region item. This is done via a call into the
    heartbeat code. Inside the heartbeat code, the region item is looked
    up. Here, the heartbeat code calls configfs_depend_item(). If it
    succeeds, then heartbeat knows the region is safe to give to ocfs2.
    If it fails, it was being torn down anyway, and heartbeat can gracefully
    pass up an error.

  • 299894cc9   configfs: accessing item hierarchy during rmdir(2) ... Browse Code »

    Add a notification callback, ops->disconnect_notify(). It has the same
    prototype as ->drop_item(), but it will be called just before the item
    linkage is broken. This way, configfs users who want to do work while
    the object is still in the heirarchy have a chance.

    Client drivers will still need to config_item_put() in their
    ->drop_item(), if they implement it. They need do nothing in
    ->disconnect_notify(). They don't have to provide it if they don't
    care. But someone who wants to be notified before ci_parent is set to
    NULL can now be notified.
