[tree-wide] finally take no_llseek out

2024-09-27T15:18:43+00:00

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441 ("fs: remove no_llseek") To quote that commit, At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek - git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do sed -i '/\/d' $i done would do it. Unfortunately, that hadn't been done. Linus, could you do that now, so that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the form .llseek = no_llseek, so it's obviously safe.

debugfs: add API to allow debugfs operations cancellation

2023-11-27T10:24:55+00:00

In some cases there might be longer-running hardware accesses in debugfs files, or attempts to acquire locks, and we want to still be able to quickly remove the files. Introduce a cancellations API to use inside the debugfs handler functions to be able to cancel such operations on a per-file basis. Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

debugfs: fix error when writing negative value to atomic_t debugfs file

2022-12-01T00:13:16+00:00

The simple attribute files do not accept a negative value since the commit 488dac0c9237 ("libfs: fix error cast of negative value in simple_attr_write()"), so we have to use a 64-bit value to write a negative value for a debugfs file created by debugfs_create_atomic_t(). This restores the previous behaviour by introducing DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE_SIGNED for a signed value.

debugfs: add debugfs_lookup_and_remove()

2022-09-05T11:02:34+00:00

There is a very common pattern of using debugfs_remove(debufs_lookup(..)) which results in a dentry leak of the dentry that was looked up. Instead of having to open-code the correct pattern of calling dput() on the dentry, create debugfs_lookup_and_remove() to handle this pattern automatically and properly without any memory leaks.

debugfs: remove return value of debugfs_create_ulong()

No one checks the return value of debugfs_create_ulong(), as it's not needed, so make the return value void, so that no one tries to do so in the future. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210521184340.1348539-1-gregkh@linuxfoundation.org Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

debugfs: make sure we can remove u32_array files cleanly

2020-07-10T20:54:00+00:00

debugfs_create_u32_array() allocates a small structure to wrap the data and size information about the array. If users ever try to remove the file this leads to a leak since nothing ever frees this wrapper. That said there are no upstream users of debugfs_create_u32_array() that'd remove a u32 array file (we only have one u32 array user in CMA), so there is no real bug here. Make callers pass a wrapper they allocated. This way the lifetime management of the wrapper is on the caller, and we can avoid the potential leak in debugfs.
