They touch a lot of files, but they are "simple" changes, just removing a line in a structure. Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes.

debugfs: add helper function to create device related seq_file

2014-11-27T03:38:37Z

This patch adds a helper function that simplifies adding a so-called single_open sequence file for device drivers. The calling device driver needs to provide a read function and a device pointer. The field struct seq_file::private will reference the device pointer upon call to the read function so the driver can obtain his data from it and do its task of providing the file content using seq_printf() calls and alike. Using this helper function also gets rid of the need to specify file operations per debugfs file. Signed-off-by: Arend van Spriel Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Merge tag 'trace-seq-file-cleanup' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace into for-next

2014-11-19T18:02:53Z

Pull the beginning of seq_file cleanup from Steven: "I'm looking to clean up the seq_file code and to eventually merge the trace_seq code with seq_file as well, since they basically do the same thing. Part of this process is to remove the return code of seq_printf() and friends as they are rather inconsistent. It is better to use the new function seq_has_overflowed() if you want to stop processing when the buffer is full. Note, if the buffer is full, the seq_file code will throw away the contents, allocate a bigger buffer, and then call your code again to fill in the data. The only thing that breaking out of the function early does is to save a little time which is probably never noticed. I started with patches from Joe Perches and modified them as well. There's many more places that need to be updated before we can convert seq_printf() and friends to return void. But this patch set introduces the seq_has_overflowed() and does some initial updates."

debugfs: Have debugfs_print_regs32() return void

2014-11-05T19:13:38Z

The seq_printf() will soon just return void, and seq_has_overflowed() should be used instead to see if the seq can no longer accept input. As the return value of debugfs_print_regs32() has no users and the seq_file descriptor should be checked with seq_has_overflowed() instead of return values of functions, it is better to just have debugfs_print_regs32() also return void.

debugfs: Fix corrupted loop in debugfs_remove_recursive

2014-07-09T23:37:29Z

[ I'm currently running my tests on it now, and so far, after a few hours it has yet to blow up. I'll run it for 24 hours which it never succeeded in the past. ] The tracing code has a way to make directories within the debugfs file system as well as deleting them using mkdir/rmdir in the instance directory. This is very limited in functionality, such as there is no renames, and the parent directory "instance" can not be modified. The tracing code creates the instance directory from the debugfs code and then replaces the dentry->d_inode->i_op with its own to allow for mkdir/rmdir to work. When these are called, the d_entry and inode locks need to be released to call the instance creation and deletion code. That code has its own accounting and locking to serialize everything to prevent multiple users from causing harm. As the parent "instance" directory can not be modified this simplifies things. I created a stress test that creates several threads that randomly creates and deletes directories thousands of times a second. The code stood up to this test and I submitted it a while ago. Recently I added a new test that adds readers to the mix. While the instance directories were being added and deleted, readers would read from these directories and even enable tracing within them. This test was able to trigger a bug: general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: ...

I added lots of trace_printk()s to see what was wrong, and sure enough, it was always the child's d_u.d_child field. I looked around to see what touches it and noticed that in __dentry_kill() which calls dentry_free(): static void dentry_free(struct dentry *dentry) { /* if dentry was never visible to RCU, immediate free is OK */ if (!(dentry->d_flags & DCACHE_RCUACCESS)) __d_free(&dentry->d_u.d_rcu); else call_rcu(&dentry->d_u.d_rcu, __d_free); } I also noticed that __dentry_kill() unlinks the child->d_u.child under the parent->d_lock spin_lock. Looking back at the loop in debugfs_remove_recursive() it never takes the parent->d_lock to do the list walk. Adding more tracing, I was able to prove this was the issue: ftrace-t-15385 1.... 246662024us : dentry_kill : free ffff88006d573600 rmdir-15409 2.... 246662024us : debugfs_remove_recursive : child=ffff88006d573600 next=dead000000100058 The dentry_kill freed ffff88006d573600 just as the remove recursive was walking it. In order to fix this, the list walk needs to be modified a bit to take the parent->d_lock. The safe version is no longer necessary, as every time we remove a child, the parent->d_lock must be released and the list walk must start over. Each time a child is removed, even though it may still be on the list, it should be skipped by the first check in the loop: if (!debugfs_positive(child)) continue; Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

fs: push sync_filesystem() down to the file system's remount_fs()

2014-03-13T14:14:33Z

Previously, the no-op "mount -o mount /dev/xxx" operation when the file system is already mounted read-write causes an implied, unconditional syncfs(). This seems pretty stupid, and it's certainly documented or guaraunteed to do this, nor is it particularly useful, except in the case where the file system was mounted rw and is getting remounted read-only. However, it's possible that there might be some file systems that are actually depending on this behavior. In most file systems, it's probably fine to only call sync_filesystem() when transitioning from read-write to read-only, and there are some file systems where this is not needed at all (for example, for a pseudo-filesystem or something like romfs).
