kobject: return error code if writing /sys/.../uevent fails

2019-02-12T19:02:15+00:00

[ Upstream commit df44b479654f62b478c18ee4d8bc4e9f897a9844 ] Propagate error code back to userspace if writing the /sys/.../uevent file fails. Before, the write operation always returned with success, even if we failed to recognize the input string or if we failed to generate the uevent itself. With the error codes properly propagated back to userspace, we are able to react in userspace accordingly by not assuming and awaiting a uevent that is not delivered.

sysfs: Disable lockdep for driver bind/unbind files

2019-01-26T08:20:49+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4f4b374332ec0ae9c738ff8ec9bed5cd97ff9adc ] This is the much more correct fix for my earlier attempt at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/12/10/118 Short recap: - There's not actually a locking issue, it's just lockdep being a bit too eager to complain about a possible deadlock. - Contrary to what I claimed the real problem is recursion on kn->count. Greg pointed me at sysfs_break_active_protection(), used by the scsi subsystem to allow a sysfs file to unbind itself. That would be a real deadlock, which isn't what's happening here. Also, breaking the active protection means we'd need to manually handle all the lifetime fun. - With Rafael we discussed the task_work approach, which kinda works, but has two downsides: It's a functional change for a lockdep annotation issue, and it won't work for the bind file (which needs to get the errno from the driver load function back to userspace). - Greg also asked why this never showed up: To hit this you need to unregister a 2nd driver from the unload code of your first driver. I guess only gpus do that. The bug has always been there, but only with a recent patch series did we add more locks so that lockdep built a chain from unbinding the snd-hda driver to the acpi_video_unregister call.

driver core: hold dev's parent lock when needed

2018-05-31T08:12:07+00:00

SoC have internal I/O buses that can't be proved for devices. The devices on the buses can be accessed directly without additinal configuration required. This type of bus is represented as "simple-bus". In some platforms, we name "soc" with "simple-bus" attribute and many devices are hooked under it described in DT (device tree). In commit bf74ad5bc417 ("Hold the device's parent's lock during probe and remove") to solve USB subsystem lock sequence since USB device's characteristic. Thus "soc" needs to be locked whenever a device and driver's probing happen under "soc" bus. During this period, an async driver tries to probe a device which is under the "soc" bus would be blocked until previous driver finish the probing and release "soc" lock. And the next probing under the "soc" bus need to wait for async finish. Because of that, driver's async probe for init time improvement will be shadowed. Since many devices don't have USB devices' characteristic, they actually don't need parent's lock. Thus, we introduce a lock flag in bus_type struct and driver core would lock the parent lock base on the flag. For USB, we set this flag in usb_bus_type to keep original lock behavior in driver core. Async probe could have more benefit after this patch. Signed-off-by: Martin Liu Acked-by: Alan Stern Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver core: Remove redundant license text

2017-12-07T17:36:44+00:00

Now that the SPDX tag is in all driver core files, that identifies the license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all. This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never needed. No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

driver core: add SPDX identifiers to all driver core files

2017-12-07T17:36:43+00:00

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to audit the kernel tree for correct licenses. Update the driver core files files with the correct SPDX license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart. Cc: Johannes Berg Cc: "Luis R.

kobject: support passing in variables for synthetic uevents

2017-05-25T16:30:51+00:00

This patch makes it possible to pass additional arguments in addition to uevent action name when writing /sys/.../uevent attribute. These additional arguments are then inserted into generated synthetic uevent as additional environment variables. Before, we were not able to pass any additional uevent environment variables for synthetic uevents. This made it hard to identify such uevents properly in userspace to make proper distinction between genuine uevents originating from kernel and synthetic uevents triggered from userspace. Also, it was not possible to pass any additional information which would make it possible to optimize and change the way the synthetic uevents are processed back in userspace based on the originating environment of the triggering action in userspace. With the extra additional variables, we are able to pass through this extra information needed and also it makes it possible to synchronize with such synthetic uevents as they can be clearly identified back in userspace. The format for writing the uevent attribute is following: ACTION [UUID [KEY=VALUE ...] There's no change in how "ACTION" is recognized - it stays the same ("add", "change", "remove"). The "ACTION" is the only argument required to generate synthetic uevent, the rest of arguments, that this patch adds support for, are optional. The "UUID" is considered as transaction identifier so it's possible to use the same UUID value for one or more synthetic uevents in which case we logically group these uevents together for any userspace listeners. The "UUID" is expected to be in "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" format where "x" is a hex digit. The value appears in uevent as "SYNTH_UUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" environment variable. The "KEY=VALUE" pairs can contain alphanumeric characters only. It's possible to define zero or more more pairs - each pair is then delimited by a space character " ". Each pair appears in synthetic uevents as "SYNTH_ARG_KEY=VALUE" environment variable. That means the KEY name gains "SYNTH_ARG_" prefix to avoid possible collisions with existing variables. To pass the "KEY=VALUE" pairs, it's also required to pass in the "UUID" part for the synthetic uevent first. If "UUID" is not passed in, the generated synthetic uevent gains "SYNTH_UUID=0" environment variable automatically so it's possible to identify this situation in userspace when reading generated uevent and so we can still make a difference between genuine and synthetic uevents.
