  • The cast here causes a Sparse warning:

    fs/debugfs/file.c:561:42: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
    fs/debugfs/file.c:561:42: expected void const volatile [noderef] *addr
    fs/debugfs/file.c:561:42: got void *

    It's redundant to cast it to a (void *) anyway when it is already a
    (void __iomem *).

  • Instead of always assigning an increasing inode number in new_inode
    move the call to assign it into those callers that actually need it.
    For now callers that need it is estimated conservatively, that is
    the call is added to all filesystems that do not assign an i_ino
    by themselves. For a few more filesystems we can avoid assigning
    any inode number given that they aren't user visible, and for others
    it could be done lazily when an inode number is actually needed,
    but that's left for later patches.

  • All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
    nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
    .llseek pointer.

    The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
    and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
    the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
    the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

    New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
    and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
    to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
    relies on calling seek on the device file.

    The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
    comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
    chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
    be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
    seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

    Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
    the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

    Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
    patch that does all this.

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • In many SoC implementations there are hardware registers can be read or
    write only. This extends the debugfs to enforce the file permissions for
    these types of registers by providing a set of fops which are read or
    write only. This assumes that the kernel developer knows more about the
    hardware than the user (even root users) -- which is normally true.

  • debugfs: dont stop on first failed recursive delete

    While running a while loop of removing a module that removes a debugfs
    directory with debugfs_remove_recursive, and at the same time doing a
    while loop of cat of a file in that directory, I would hit a point where
    somehow the cat of the file caused the remove to fail.

    The result is that other files did not get removed when the module
    was removed. I simple read of one of those file can oops the kernel
    because the operations to the file no longer exist (removed by module).

    The funny thing is that the file being cat'ed was removed. It was
    the siblings that were not. I see in the code to debugfs_remove_recursive
    there's a test that checks if the child fails to bail out of the loop
    to prevent an infinite loop.

    What this patch does is to still try any siblings in that directory.
    If all the siblings fail, or there are no more siblings, then we exit
    the loop.

    This fixes the above symptom, but...

    This is no full proof. It makes the debugfs_remove_recursive a bit more
    robust, but it does not explain why the one file failed. There may
    be some kind of delay deletion that makes the debugfs think it did
    not succeed. So this patch is more of a fix for the symptom but not
    the disease.

    This patch still makes the debugfs_remove_recursive more robust and
    until I can find out why the bug exists, this patch will keep
    the kernel from oopsing in most cases. Even after the cause is found
    I think this change can stand on its own and should be kept.

  • Impact: add new debugfs API

    With ftrace, some tracers are registered in early initcalls
    and attempt to create files on the debugfs filesystem.
    Depending on when they are activated, they can try to create their
    file at any time. Some checks can be done on the tracing area
    but providing a helper to know if debugfs is registered make it
    really more easy.

  • In the same spirit as debugfs_create_*(), introduce helpers for
    exporting size_t values over debugfs.

    The only trick done is that the format verifier is kept at %llu
    instead of %zu; otherwise type warnings would pop up:

    format ‘%zu’ expects type ‘size_t’, but argument 2 has type ‘long long unsigned int’

    There is no real way to fix this one--however, we can consider %llu
    and %zu to be compatible if we consider that we are using the same for
    validating in debugfs_create_{x,u}{8,16,32}().

  • debugfs_remove_recursive() will remove a dentry and all its children.
    Drivers can use this to zap their whole debugfs tree so that they don't
    need to keep track of every single debugfs dentry they created.

    It may fail to remove the whole tree in certain cases:

    sh-3.2# rmmod atmel-mci < /sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/ios/clock
    mmc0: card b368 removed
    atmel_mci atmel_mci.0: Lost dma0chan1, falling back to PIO

    But I'm not sure if that case can be handled in any sane manner.
