devcoredump: Send uevent once devcd is ready

2023-12-13T17:45:33+00:00

commit af54d778a03853801d681c98c0c2a6c316ef9ca7 upstream. dev_coredumpm() creates a devcoredump device and adds it to the core kernel framework which eventually end up sending uevent to the user space and later creates a symbolic link to the failed device. An application running in userspace may be interested in this symbolic link to get the name of the failed device. In a issue scenario, once uevent sent to the user space it start reading '/sys/class/devcoredump/devcdX/failing_device' to get the actual name of the device which might not been created and it is in its path of creation. To fix this, suppress sending uevent till the failing device symbolic link gets created and send uevent once symbolic link is created successfully.

driver core: class: mark the struct class for sysfs callbacks as constant

2023-03-29T05:54:58+00:00

struct class should never be modified in a sysfs callback as there is nothing in the structure to modify, and frankly, the structure is almost never used in a sysfs callback, so mark it as constant to allow struct class to be moved to read-only memory. While we are touching all class sysfs callbacks also mark the attribute as constant as it can not be modified. The bonding code still uses this structure so it can not be removed from the function callbacks. Cc: "David S. Miller" Cc: "Rafael J.

drivers: remove struct module * setting from struct class

2023-03-17T14:16:27+00:00

There is no need to manually set the owner of a struct class, as the registering function does it automatically, so remove all of the explicit settings from various drivers that did so as it is unneeded. This allows us to remove this pointer entirely from this structure going forward. Cc: "Rafael J.

devcoredump : Serialize devcd_del work

2022-09-24T12:01:40+00:00

In following scenario(diagram), when one thread X running dev_coredumpm() adds devcd device to the framework which sends uevent notification to userspace and another thread Y reads this uevent and call to devcd_data_write() which eventually try to delete the queued timer that is not initialized/queued yet. So, debug object reports some warning and in the meantime, timer is initialized and queued from X path. and from Y path, it gets reinitialized again and timer->entry.pprev=NULL and try_to_grab_pending() stucks. To fix this, introduce mutex and a boolean flag to serialize the behaviour. cpu0(X) cpu1(Y) dev_coredump() uevent sent to user space device_add() ======================> user space process Y reads the uevents writes to devcd fd which results into writes to devcd_data_write() mod_delayed_work() try_to_grab_pending() del_timer() debug_assert_init() INIT_DELAYED_WORK() schedule_delayed_work() debug_object_fixup() timer_fixup_assert_init() timer_setup() do_init_timer() /* Above call reinitializes the timer to timer->entry.pprev=NULL and this will be checked later in timer_pending() call. */ timer_pending() !hlist_unhashed_lockless(&timer->entry) !h->pprev /* del_timer() checks h->pprev and finds it to be NULL due to which try_to_grab_pending() stucks. */ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/2e1f81e2-428c-f11f-ce92-eb11048cb271@quicinc.com/ Signed-off-by: Mukesh Ojha Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/1663073424-13663-1-git-send-email-quic_mojha@quicinc.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

devcoredump: avoid -Wempty-body warnings

Cleaning out the last -Wempty-body warnings found some interesting cases with empty macros, along with harmless warnings like this one: drivers/base/devcoredump.c: In function 'dev_coredumpm': drivers/base/devcoredump.c:297:56: error: suggest braces around empty body in an 'if' statement [-Werror=empty-body] 297 | /* nothing - symlink will be missing */; | ^ drivers/base/devcoredump.c:301:56: error: suggest braces around empty body in an 'if' statement [-Werror=empty-body] 301 | /* nothing - symlink will be missing */; | ^ Randy tried addressing this one before, and there were multiple other ideas in that thread.
