configfs: Do not override creating attribute file failure in populate_attrs()

2025-06-27T10:08:42+00:00

commit f830edbae247b89228c3e09294151b21e0dc849c upstream. populate_attrs() may override failure for creating attribute files by success for creating subsequent bin attribute files, and have wrong return value. Fix by creating bin attribute files under successfully creating attribute files.

configfs: convert to ctime accessor functions

2023-07-13T08:28:05+00:00

In later patches, we're going to change how the inode's ctime field is used. Switch to using accessor functions instead of raw accesses of inode->i_ctime.

fs: consolidate duplicate dt_type helpers

2023-04-03T07:23:54+00:00

There are three copies of the same dt_type helper sprinkled around the tree. Convert them to use the common fs_umode_to_dtype function instead, which has the added advantage of properly returning DT_UNKNOWN when given a mode that contains an unrecognized type.

fs: port ->permission() to pass mnt_idmap

2023-01-19T08:24:28+00:00

Convert to struct mnt_idmap. Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in 256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts"). This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap. Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for bugs. Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

configfs: fix possible memory leak in configfs_create_dir()

This is because the refcount is not correct in configfs_make_dirent(). For normal stage, the refcount is changing as: configfs_register_subsystem() configfs_create_dir() configfs_make_dirent() configfs_new_dirent() # set s_count = 1 dentry->d_fsdata = configfs_get(sd); # s_count = 2 ... configfs_unregister_subsystem() configfs_remove_dir() remove_dir() configfs_remove_dirent() # s_count = 1 dput() ... *dentry_unlink_inode()* configfs_d_iput() # s_count = 0, release However, if we failed in configfs_create(): configfs_register_subsystem() configfs_create_dir() configfs_make_dirent() # s_count = 2 ... configfs_create() # fail ->out_remove: configfs_remove_dirent(dentry) configfs_put(sd) # s_count = 1 return PTR_ERR(inode); There is no inode in the error path, so the configfs_d_iput() is lost and makes sd and fragment memory leaked. To fix this, when we failed in configfs_create(), manually call configfs_put(sd) to keep the refcount correct.

configfs: fix a race in configfs_{,un}register_subsystem()

2022-02-22T17:30:28+00:00

When configfs_register_subsystem() or configfs_unregister_subsystem() is executing link_group() or unlink_group(), it is possible that two processes add or delete list concurrently. Some unfortunate interleavings of them can cause kernel panic. One of cases is: A --> B --> C --> D A <-- B <-- C <-- D delete list_head *B | delete list_head *C --------------------------------|----------------------------------- configfs_unregister_subsystem | configfs_unregister_subsystem unlink_group | unlink_group unlink_obj | unlink_obj list_del_init | list_del_init __list_del_entry | __list_del_entry __list_del | __list_del // next == C | next->prev = prev | | next->prev = prev prev->next = next | | // prev == B | prev->next = next Fix this by adding mutex when calling link_group() or unlink_group(), but parent configfs_subsystem is NULL when config_item is root. So I create a mutex configfs_subsystem_mutex.

fsnotify: fix fsnotify hooks in pseudo filesystems

2022-01-24T13:17:02+00:00

Commit 49246466a989 ("fsnotify: move fsnotify_nameremove() hook out of d_delete()") moved the fsnotify delete hook before d_delete() so fsnotify will have access to a positive dentry. This allowed a race where opening the deleted file via cached dentry is now possible after receiving the IN_DELETE event. To fix the regression in pseudo filesystems, convert d_delete() calls to d_drop() (see commit 46c46f8df9aa ("devpts_pty_kill(): don't bother with d_delete()") and move the fsnotify hook after d_drop(). Add a missing fsnotify_unlink() hook in nfsdfs that was found during the audit of fsnotify hooks in pseudo filesystems. Note that the fsnotify hooks in simple_recursive_removal() follow d_invalidate(), so they require no change.
