treewide: Use fallthrough pseudo-keyword

2020-08-23T22:36:59+00:00

Replace the existing /* fall through */ comments and its variants with the new pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough[1]. Also, remove unnecessary fall-through markings when it is the case.

configfs: fix config_item refcnt leak in configfs_rmdir()

2020-04-27T06:17:10+00:00

configfs_rmdir() invokes configfs_get_config_item(), which returns a reference of the specified config_item object to "parent_item" with increased refcnt. When configfs_rmdir() returns, local variable "parent_item" becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced. The reference counting issue happens in one exception handling path of configfs_rmdir(). When down_write_killable() fails, the function forgets to decrease the refcnt increased by configfs_get_config_item(), causing a refcnt leak. Fix this issue by calling config_item_put() when down_write_killable() fails. Signed-off-by: Xiyu Yang Signed-off-by: Xin Tan Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

configfs: provide exclusion between IO and removals

2019-09-04T20:33:51+00:00

Make sure that attribute methods are not called after the item has been removed from the tree. To do so, we * at the point of no return in removals, grab ->frag_sem exclusive and mark the fragment dead. * call the methods of attributes with ->frag_sem taken shared and only after having verified that the fragment is still alive. The main benefit is for method instances - they are guaranteed that the objects they are accessing *and* all ancestors are still there. Another win is that we don't need to bother with extra refcount on config_item when opening a file - the item will be alive for as long as it stays in the tree, and we won't touch it/attributes/any associated data after it's been removed from the tree.

configfs: new object reprsenting tree fragments

2019-09-02T20:10:44+00:00

Refcounted, hangs of configfs_dirent, created by operations that add fragments to configfs tree (mkdir and configfs_register_{subsystem,group}). Will be used in the next commit to provide exclusion between fragment removal and ->show/->store calls. Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

configfs_register_group() shouldn't be (and isn't) called in rmdirable parts

2019-09-02T20:10:44+00:00

revert cc57c07343bd "configfs: fix registered group removal" It was an attempt to handle something that fundamentally doesn't work - configfs_register_group() should never be done in a part of tree that can be rmdir'ed. And in mainline it never had been, so let's not borrow trouble; the fix was racy anyway, it would take a lot more to make that work and desired semantics is not clear.

configfs: call fsnotify_rmdir() hook

2019-06-20T12:47:21+00:00

This will allow generating fsnotify delete events on unregister of group/subsystem after the fsnotify_nameremove() hook is removed from d_delete(). The rest of the d_delete() calls from this filesystem are either called recursively from within debugfs_unregister_{group,subsystem}, called from a vfs function that already has delete hooks or are called from shutdown/cleanup code.
