<content type='text'>
The sysfs_break_active_protection() routine has an obvious reference
leak in its error path.  If the call to kernfs_find_and_get() fails then
kn will be NULL, so the companion sysfs_unbreak_active_protection()
routine won't get called (and would only cause an access violation by
trying to dereference kn-&gt;parent if it was called).  As a result, the
reference to kobj acquired at the start of the function will never be
released.

Fix the leak by adding an explicit kobject_put() call when kn is NULL.

<title>kernfs: sysfs: support custom llseek method for sysfs entries</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0fedefd4c4e33dd24f726b13b5d7c143e2b483be</id>
<content type='text'>
As of now, seeking in sysfs files is handled by generic_file_llseek().
There are situations where one may want to customize seeking logic:

- Many sysfs entries are fixed files while generic_file_llseek() accepts
  past-the-end positions. Not only being useless by itself, this
  also means a bug in userspace code will trigger not at lseek(), but at
  some later point making debugging harder.
- generic_file_llseek() relies on f_mapping-&gt;host to get the file size
  which might not be correct for all sysfs entries.
  See commit 636b21b50152 ("PCI: Revoke mappings like devmem") as an example.

Implement llseek method to override this behavior at sysfs attribute
level. The method is optional, and if it is absent,
generic_file_llseek() is called to preserve backwards compatibility.

<title>kobject: kobj_type: remove default_attrs</title>

<content type='text'>
Now that all in-kernel users of default_attrs for the kobj_type are gone
and converted to properly use the default_groups pointer instead, it can
be safely removed.

There is one standard way to create sysfs files in a kobj_type, and not
two like before, causing confusion as to which should be used.

Contrary to the comment -&gt;show is never called from lseek for sysfs,
given that sysfs does not use seq_lseek.  So remove the NULL -&gt;show
case and just WARN and return an error if some future code path ends
up here.

There are two users of iomem_get_mapping(), the struct file and struct
bin_attribute.  The former has a member called "f_mapping" and the
latter has a member called "mapping", and both are poniters to struct
address_space.

Rename struct bin_attribute member to "f_mapping" to keep both meaning
and the usage consistent with other users of iomem_get_mapping().

<title>sysfs: Invoke iomem_get_mapping() from the sysfs open callback</title>

<id>urn:sha1:93bb8e352a9136a56dd26762bf54cf6554cfa96c</id>
<content type='text'>
Defer invocation of the iomem_get_mapping() to the sysfs open callback
so that it can be executed as needed when the binary sysfs object has
been accessed.

To do that, convert the "mapping" member of the struct bin_attribute
from a pointer to the struct address_space into a function pointer with
a signature that requires the same return type, and then updates the
sysfs_kf_bin_open() to invoke provided function should the function
pointer be valid.

Also, convert every invocation of iomem_get_mapping() into a function
pointer assignment, therefore allowing for the iomem_get_mapping()
invocation to be deferred to when the sysfs open callback runs.

Thus, this change removes the need for the fs_initcalls to complete
before any other sub-system that uses the iomem_get_mapping() would be
able to invoke it safely without leading to a failure and an Oops
related to an invalid iomem_get_mapping() access.

<title>sysfs: Support zapping of binary attr mmaps</title>

<id>urn:sha1:74b30195395c406c787280a77ae55aed82dbbfc7</id>
<content type='text'>
We want to be able to revoke pci mmaps so that the same access rules
applies as for /dev/kmem. Revoke support for devmem was added in
3234ac664a87 ("/dev/mem: Revoke mappings when a driver claims the
region").

The simplest way to achieve this is by having the same filp-&gt;f_mapping
for all mappings, so that unmap_mapping_range can find them all, no
matter through which file they've been created. Since this must be set
at open time we need sysfs support for this.

Add an optional mapping parameter bin_attr, which is only consulted
when there's also an mmap callback, since without mmap support
allowing to adjust the -&gt;f_mapping makes no sense.

Output defects can exist in sysfs content using sprintf and snprintf.

sprintf does not know the PAGE_SIZE maximum of the temporary buffer
used for outputting sysfs content and it's possible to overrun the
PAGE_SIZE buffer length.

Add a generic sysfs_emit function that knows that the size of the
temporary buffer and ensures that no overrun is done.

Add a generic sysfs_emit_at function that can be used in multiple
call situations that also ensures that no overrun is done.

Validate the output buffer argument to be page aligned.
Validate the offset len argument to be within the PAGE_SIZE buf.
