root->ino_ida is used for kernfs inode number allocations. Since IDA has
a layered structure, different IDs can reside on the same layer, which
is currently accounted to some memory cgroup. The problem is that each
kmem cache of a memory cgroup has its own directory on sysfs (under
/sys/fs/kernel/<cache-name>/cgroup). If the inode number of such a
directory or any file in it gets allocated from a layer accounted to the
cgroup which the cache is created for, the cgroup will get pinned for
good, because one has to free all kmem allocations accounted to a cgroup
in order to release it and destroy all its kmem caches. That said we
must not account layers of ino_ida to any memory cgroup.
Since per net init operations may create new sysfs entries directly
(e.g. lo device) or indirectly (nf_conntrack creates a new kmem cache
per each namespace, which, in turn, creates new sysfs entries), an easy
way to reproduce this issue is by creating network namespace(s) from
inside a kmem-active memory cgroup.

When a new kernfs node is created, KERNFS_STATIC_NAME is used to avoid
making a separate copy of its name. It's currently only used for sysfs
attributes whose filenames are required to stay accessible and unchanged.
There are rare exceptions where these names are allocated and formatted
dynamically but for the vast majority of cases they're consts in the
rodata section.
Now that kernfs is converted to use kstrdup_const() and kfree_const(),
there's little point in keeping KERNFS_STATIC_NAME around. Remove it.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot updates for cgroup:
- The biggest one is cgroup's conversion to kernfs. cgroup took
after the long abandoned vfs-entangled sysfs implementation and
made it even more convoluted over time. cgroup's internal objects
were fused with vfs objects which also brought in vfs locking and
object lifetime rules. Naturally, there are places where vfs rules
don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock
dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial
number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is
actually necessary, needed to be employed.
After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking
rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding
of several nasty hacks and overall simplification. This will also
allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups
which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting
i_mutexes.
- Various simplifications including dropping of module support,
easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type
handling and task_cg_lists optimization.
- Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still
a patchset away from being actually operational. The dummy
hierarchy is updated to serve as the default unified hierarchy.
Controllers which aren't claimed by other hierarchies are
associated with it, which BTW was what the dummy hierarchy was for
anyway.
- Various fixes from Li and others. This pull request includes some
patches to add missing slab.h to various subsystems. This was
triggered xattr.h include removal from cgroup.h. cgroup.h
indirectly got included a lot of files which brought in xattr.h

Currently, kernfs_nodes are made visible to userland on creation,
which makes it difficult for kernfs users to atomically succeed or
fail creation of multiple nodes. In addition, if something fails
after creating some nodes, the created nodes might already be in use
and their active refs need to be drained for removal, which has the
potential to introduce tricky reverse locking dependency on active_ref
depending on how the error path is synchronized.
This patch introduces per-root flag KERNFS_ROOT_CREATE_DEACTIVATED.
If set, all nodes under the root are created in the deactivated state
and stay invisible to userland until explicitly enabled by the new
kernfs_activate() API. Also, nodes which have never been activated
are guaranteed to bypass draining on removal thus allowing error paths
to not worry about lockding dependency on active_ref draining.

kernfs_iop_lookup(), kernfs_dir_pos() and kernfs_dir_next_pos() were
missing kernfs_active() tests before using the found kernfs_node. As
deactivated state is currently visible only while a node is being
removed, this doesn't pose an actual problem. e.g. lookup succeeding
on a deactivated node doesn't harm anything as the eventual file
operations are gonna fail and those failures are indistinguishible
from the cases in which the lookups had happened before the node was
deactivated.
However, we're gonna allow new nodes to be created deactivated and
then activated explicitly by the kernfs user when it sees fit. This
is to support atomically making multiple nodes visible to userland and
thus those nodes must not be visible to userland before activated.
Let's plug the lookup and readdir holes so that deactivated nodes are
invisible to userland.

kernfs_dir_ops are currently being invoked without any active

determine whether the objects associated those nodes are safe to
access and will remain that way for the duration of such operations.
kernfs already has active_ref mechanism to deal with this which makes
the removal of a given node the synchronization point for gating the
file operations. There's no reason for dir_ops to be any different.
Update the dir_ops handling so that active_ref is held while the
dir_ops are executing. This guarantees that while a dir_ops is
executing the target nodes stay alive.
As kernfs_dir_ops doesn't have any in-kernel user at this point, this

Sometimes it's necessary to implement a node which wants to delete
nodes including itself. This isn't straightforward because of kernfs
active reference. While a file operation is in progress, an active
reference is held and kernfs_remove() waits for all such references to
drain before completing. For a self-deleting node, this is a deadlock
as kernfs_remove() ends up waiting for an active reference that itself
is sitting on top of.
This currently is worked around in the sysfs layer using
sysfs_schedule_callback() which makes such removals asynchronous.
While it works, it's rather cumbersome and inherently breaks
synchronicity of the operation - the file operation which triggered
the operation may complete before the removal is finished (or even
started) and the removal may fail asynchronously. If a removal
operation is immmediately followed by another operation which expects
the specific name to be available (e.g. removal followed by rename
onto the same name), there's no way to make the latter operation
reliable.
The thing is there's no inherent reason for this to be asynchrnous.
All that's necessary to do this synchronous is a dedicated operation
which drops its own active ref and deactivates self. This patch
implements kernfs_remove_self() and its wrappers in sysfs and driver
core. kernfs_remove_self() is to be called from one of the file
operations, drops the active ref the task is holding, removes the self
node, and restores active ref to the dead node so that the ref is
balanced afterwards. __kernfs_remove() is updated so that it takes an
early exit if the target node is already fully removed so that the
active ref restored by kernfs_remove_self() after removal doesn't
confuse the deactivation path.
This makes implementing self-deleting nodes very easy. The normal
removal path doesn't even need to be changed to use
kernfs_remove_self() for the self-deleting node. The method can
invoke kernfs_remove_self() on itself before proceeding the normal
removal path. kernfs_remove() invoked on the node by the normal
deletion path will simply be ignored.
This will replace sysfs_schedule_callback(). A subtle feature of
sysfs_schedule_callback() is that it collapses multiple invocations -
even if multiple removals are triggered, the removal callback is run
only once. An equivalent effect can be achieved by testing the return
value of kernfs_remove_self() - only the one which gets %true return
value should proceed with actual deletion. All other instances of
kernfs_remove_self() will wait till the enclosing kernfs operation
which invoked the winning instance of kernfs_remove_self() finishes
and then return %false. This trivially makes all users of
kernfs_remove_self() automatically show correct synchronous behavior
even when there are multiple concurrent operations - all "echo 1 >
delete" instances will finish only after the whole operation is
completed by one of the instances.
Note that manipulation of active ref is implemented in separate public
functions - kernfs_[un]break_active_protection().
kernfs_remove_self() is the only user at the moment but this will be
used to cater to more complex cases.
v2: For !CONFIG_SYSFS, dummy version kernfs_remove_self() was missing
and sysfs_remove_file_self() had incorrect return type. Fix it.

KERNFS_REMOVED is used to mark half-initialized and dying nodes so
that they don't show up in lookups and deny adding new nodes under or
renaming it; however, its role overlaps that of deactivation.
It's necessary to deny addition of new children while removal is in
progress; however, this role considerably intersects with deactivation
- KERNFS_REMOVED prevents new children while deactivation prevents new
file operations. There's no reason to have them separate making
things more complex than necessary.
This patch removes KERNFS_REMOVED.
* Instead of KERNFS_REMOVED, each node now starts its life
deactivated. This means that we now use both atomic_add() and
atomic_sub() on KN_DEACTIVATED_BIAS, which is INT_MIN. The compiler
generates an overflow warnings when negating INT_MIN as the negation
can't be represented as a positive number. Nothing is actually
broken but let's bump BIAS by one to avoid the warnings for archs
which negates the subtrahend..
* A new helper kernfs_active() which tests whether kn->active >= 0 is
added for convenience and lockdep annotation. All KERNFS_REMOVED
tests are replaced with negated kernfs_active() tests.
* __kernfs_remove() is updated to deactivate, but not drain, all nodes
in the subtree instead of setting KERNFS_REMOVED. This removes
deactivation from kernfs_deactivate(), which is now renamed to
kernfs_drain().
* Sanity check on KERNFS_REMOVED in kernfs_put() is replaced with
checks on the active ref.
* Some comment style updates in the affected area.
v2: Reordered before removal path restructuring. kernfs_active()
dropped and kernfs_get/put_active() used instead. RB_EMPTY_NODE()
used in the lookup paths.

There currently are two mechanisms gating active ref lockdep
annotations - KERNFS_LOCKDEP flag and KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF type mask.
The former disables lockdep annotations in kernfs_get/put_active()
while the latter disables all of kernfs_deactivate().
While KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF also behaves as an optimization to skip the
deactivation step for non-file nodes, the benefit is marginal and it
needlessly diverges code paths. Let's drop KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF.
While at it, add a test helper kernfs_lockdep() to test KERNFS_LOCKDEP
flag so that it's more convenient and the related code can be compiled

kernfs_unmap_bin_file() is supposed to unmap all memory mappings of

problem as the original implementation of deactivation when there are

addrm_cxt->removed list is guaranteed to wait for its completion
before returning.

The recursive nature of kernfs_remove() means that, even if
kernfs_remove() is not allowed to be called multiple times on the same
node, there may be race conditions between removal of parent and its
descendants. While we can claim that kernfs_remove() shouldn't be
called on one of the descendants while the removal of an ancestor is
in progress, such rule is unnecessarily restrictive and very difficult
to enforce. It's better to simply allow invoking kernfs_remove() as
the caller sees fit as long as the caller ensures that the node is
accessible.
The current behavior in such situations is broken. Whoever enters
removal path first takes the node off the hierarchy and then
deactivates. Following removers either return as soon as it notices
that it's not the first one or can't even find the target node as it
has already been removed from the hierarchy. In both cases, the
following removers may finish prematurely while the nodes which should
be removed and drained are still being processed by the first one.
This patch restructures so that multiple removers, whether through
recursion or direction invocation, always follow the following rules.
* When there are multiple concurrent removers, only one puts the base
ref.
* Regardless of which one puts the base ref, all removers are blocked
until the target node is fully deactivated and removed.
To achieve the above, removal path now first marks all descendants
including self REMOVED and then deactivates and unlinks leftmost
descendant one-by-one. kernfs_deactivate() is called directly from
__kernfs_removal() and drops and regrabs kernfs_mutex for each
descendant to drain active refs. As this means that multiple removers
can enter kernfs_deactivate() for the same node, the function is
updated so that it can handle multiple deactivators of the same node -
only one actually deactivates but all wait till drain completion.
The restructured removal path guarantees that a removed node gets
unlinked only after the node is deactivated and drained. Combined
with proper multiple deactivator handling, this guarantees that any
invocation of kernfs_remove() returns only after the node itself and
all its descendants are deactivated, drained and removed.
v2: Draining separated into a separate loop (used to be in the same
loop as unlink) and done from __kernfs_deactivate(). This is to
allow exposing deactivation as a separate interface later.
Root node removal was broken in v1 patch. Fixed.
v3: Revert most of v2 except for root node removal fix and
simplification of KERNFS_REMOVED setting loop.

kernfs_node->u.completion is used to notify deactivation completion

scheme is no longer correct - kernfs_remove() invocation may return
before the node is properly deactivated if it races against another
removal. The removal path will be restructured to address the issue.
To help such restructure which requires supporting multiple waiters,
this patch replaces kernfs_node->u.completion with
kernfs_root->deactivate_waitq. This makes deactivation event
notifications share a per-root waitqueue_head; however, the wait path

Once created, a kernfs_node is always destroyed by kernfs_put().
Since ba7443bc65 ("sysfs, kernfs: implement
kernfs_create/destroy_root()"), kernfs_put() depends on kernfs_root()
to locate the ino_ida. kernfs_root() in turn depends on
kernfs_node->parent being set for !dir nodes. This means that
kernfs_put() of a !dir node requires its ->parent to be initialized.
This leads to oops when a newly created !dir node is destroyed without
going through kernfs_add_one() or after failing kernfs_add_one()
before ->parent is set. kernfs_root() invoked from kernfs_put() will
try to dereference NULL parent.
Fix it by moving parent association to kernfs_new_node() from
kernfs_add_one(). kernfs_new_node() now takes @parent instead of
@root and determines the root from the parent and also sets the new
node's parent properly. @parent parameter is removed from
kernfs_add_one(). As there's no parent when creating the root node,
__kernfs_new_node() which takes @root as before and doesn't set the
parent is used in that case.
This ensures that a kernfs_node in any stage in its life has its
parent associated and thus can be put.

895a068a52 ("kernfs: make kernfs_get_active() block if the node is
deactivated but not removed") added "struct kernfs_root *root =
kernfs_root(kn);" at the head of the function; however, the parameter
@kn is checked for later implying that the function may be called with
NULL. This means that we may end up invoking kernfs_root() with NULL
which will oops. None of the existing users invokes removal with NULL
@kn, so this bug doesn't actually trigger.
We can relocate kernfs_root() invocation after NULL check; however,
allowing NULL param tends to cause more confusion than actually
helping anything. As there's no existing user, let's remove the
spurious NULL check.

Sometimes it's necessary to implement a node which wants to delete
nodes including itself. This isn't straightforward because of kernfs
active reference. While a file operation is in progress, an active
reference is held and kernfs_remove() waits for all such references to
drain before completing. For a self-deleting node, this is a deadlock
as kernfs_remove() ends up waiting for an active reference that itself
is sitting on top of.
This currently is worked around in the sysfs layer using
sysfs_schedule_callback() which makes such removals asynchronous.
While it works, it's rather cumbersome and inherently breaks
synchronicity of the operation - the file operation which triggered
the operation may complete before the removal is finished (or even
started) and the removal may fail asynchronously. If a removal
operation is immmediately followed by another operation which expects
the specific name to be available (e.g. removal followed by rename
onto the same name), there's no way to make the latter operation
reliable.
The thing is there's no inherent reason for this to be asynchrnous.
All that's necessary to do this synchronous is a dedicated operation
which drops its own active ref and deactivates self. This patch
implements kernfs_remove_self() and its wrappers in sysfs and driver
core. kernfs_remove_self() is to be called from one of the file
operations, drops the active ref and deactivates using
__kernfs_deactivate_self(), removes the self node, and restores active
ref to the dead node using __kernfs_reactivate_self() so that the ref
is balanced afterwards. __kernfs_remove() is updated so that it takes
an early exit if the target node is already fully removed so that the
active ref restored by kernfs_remove_self() after removal doesn't
confuse the deactivation path.
This makes implementing self-deleting nodes very easy. The normal
removal path doesn't even need to be changed to use
kernfs_remove_self() for the self-deleting node. The method can
invoke kernfs_remove_self() on itself before proceeding the normal
removal path. kernfs_remove() invoked on the node by the normal
deletion path will simply be ignored.
This will replace sysfs_schedule_callback(). A subtle feature of
sysfs_schedule_callback() is that it collapses multiple invocations -
even if multiple removals are triggered, the removal callback is run
only once. An equivalent effect can be achieved by testing the return
value of kernfs_remove_self() - only the one which gets %true return
value should proceed with actual deletion. All other instances of
kernfs_remove_self() will wait till the enclosing kernfs operation
which invoked the winning instance of kernfs_remove_self() finishes
and then return %false. This trivially makes all users of
kernfs_remove_self() automatically show correct synchronous behavior
even when there are multiple concurrent operations - all "echo 1 >
delete" instances will finish only after the whole operation is
completed by one of the instances.
v2: For !CONFIG_SYSFS, dummy version kernfs_remove_self() was missing
and sysfs_remove_file_self() had incorrect return type. Fix it.

This patch implements four functions to manipulate deactivation state
- deactivate, reactivate and the _self suffixed pair. A new fields
kernfs_node->deact_depth is added so that concurrent and nested
deactivations are handled properly. kernfs_node->hash is moved so
that it's paired with the new field so that it doesn't increase the
size of kernfs_node.
A kernfs user's lock would normally nest inside active ref but during
removal the user may want to perform kernfs_remove() while holding the
said lock, which would introduce a reverse locking dependency. This
function can be used to break such reverse dependency by allowing
deactivation step to performed separately outside user's critical
section.
This will also be used implement kernfs_remove_self().

Currently, kernfs_get_active() fails if the target node is
deactivated. This is fine as a node always gets removed after
deactivation; however, we're gonna add reactivation so the assumption
won't hold. It'd be incorrect for kernfs_get_active() to fail for a
node which was deactivated only temporarily.
This patch makes kernfs_get_active() block if the node is deactivated
but not removed. If the node gets reactivated (not yet implemented),
it will be retried and succeed. If the node gets removed, it will be
woken up and fail.

kernfs_addrm_cxt and the accompanying kernfs_addrm_start/finish() were
added because there were operations which should be performed outside
kernfs_mutex after adding and removing kernfs_nodes. The necessary
operations were recorded in kernfs_addrm_cxt and performed by
kernfs_addrm_finish(); however, after the recent changes which
relocated deactivation and unmapping so that they're performed
directly during removal, the only operation kernfs_addrm_finish()
performs is kernfs_put(), which can be moved inside the removal path
too.
This patch moves the kernfs_put() of the base ref to __kernfs_remove()
and remove kernfs_addrm_cxt and kernfs_addrm_start/finish().
* kernfs_add_one() is updated to grab and release the parent's active
ref and kernfs_mutex itself. kernfs_get/put_active() and
kernfs_addrm_start/finish() invocations around it are removed from
all users.
* __kernfs_remove() puts an unlinked node directly instead of chaining
it to kernfs_addrm_cxt. Its callers are updated to grab and release
kernfs_mutex instead of calling kernfs_addrm_start/finish() around
it.

kernfs_unmap_bin_file() is supposed to unmap all memory mappings of
the target file before kernfs_remove() finishes; however, it currently
is being called from kernfs_addrm_finish() and has the same race
problem as the original implementation of deactivation when there are
multiple removers - only the remover which snatches the node to its
addrm_cxt->removed list is guaranteed to wait for its completion
before returning.
It can be fixed by moving kernfs_unmap_bin_file() invocation from
kernfs_addrm_finish() to __kernfs_remove(). The function may be
called multiple times but that shouldn't do any harm.
We end up dropping kernfs_mutex in the removal loop and the node may
be removed inbetween by someone else. kernfs_unlink_sibling() is
updated to test whether the node has already been removed and return
accordingly. __kernfs_remove() in turn performs post-unlinking
cleanup only if it actually unlinked the node.
KERNFS_HAS_MMAP test is moved out of the unmap function into
__kernfs_remove() so that we don't unlock kernfs_mutex unnecessarily.
While at it, drop the now meaningless "bin" qualifier from the
function name.

The recursive nature of kernfs_remove() means that, even if
kernfs_remove() is not allowed to be called multiple times on the same
node, there may be race conditions between removal of parent and its
descendants. While we can claim that kernfs_remove() shouldn't be
called on one of the descendants while the removal of an ancestor is
in progress, such rule is unnecessarily restrictive and very difficult
to enforce. It's better to simply allow invoking kernfs_remove() as
the caller sees fit as long as the caller ensures that the node is
accessible.
The current behavior in such situations is broken. Whoever enters
removal path first takes the node off the hierarchy and then
deactivates. Following removers either return as soon as it notices
that it's not the first one or can't even find the target node as it
has already been removed from the hierarchy. In both cases, the
following removers may finish prematurely while the nodes which should
be removed and drained are still being processed by the first one.
This patch restructures so that multiple removers, whether through
recursion or direction invocation, always follow the following rules.
* When there are multiple concurrent removers, only one puts the base
ref.
* Regardless of which one puts the base ref, all removers are blocked
until the target node is fully deactivated and removed.
To achieve the above, removal path now first deactivates the subtree,
drains it and then unlinks one-by-one. __kernfs_deactivate() is
called directly from __kernfs_removal() and drops and regrabs
kernfs_mutex for each descendant to drain active refs. As this means
that multiple removers can enter __kernfs_deactivate() for the same
node, the function is updated so that it can handle multiple
deactivators of the same node - only one actually deactivates but all
wait till drain completion.
The restructured removal path guarantees that a removed node gets
unlinked only after the node is deactivated and drained. Combined
with proper multiple deactivator handling, this guarantees that any
invocation of kernfs_remove() returns only after the node itself and
all its descendants are deactivated, drained and removed.
v2: Draining separated into a separate loop (used to be in the same
loop as unlink) and done from __kernfs_deactivate(). This is to
allow exposing deactivation as a separate interface later.
Root node removal was broken in v1 patch. Fixed.

KERNFS_REMOVED is used to mark half-initialized and dying nodes so
that they don't show up in lookups and deny adding new nodes under or
renaming it; however, its role overlaps those of deactivation and
removal from rbtree.
It's necessary to deny addition of new children while removal is in
progress; however, this role considerably intersects with deactivation
- KERNFS_REMOVED prevents new children while deactivation prevents new
file operations. There's no reason to have them separate making
things more complex than necessary.
KERNFS_REMOVED is also used to decide whether a node is still visible
to vfs layer, which is rather redundant as equivalent determination
can be made by testing whether the node is on its parent's children
rbtree or not.
This patch removes KERNFS_REMOVED.
* Instead of KERNFS_REMOVED, each node now starts its life
deactivated. This means that we now use both atomic_add() and
atomic_sub() on KN_DEACTIVATED_BIAS, which is INT_MIN. The compiler
generates an overflow warnings when negating INT_MIN as the negation
can't be represented as a positive number. Nothing is actually
broken but let's bump BIAS by one to avoid the warnings for archs
which negates the subtrahend..
* KERNFS_REMOVED tests in add and rename paths are replaced with
kernfs_get/put_active() of the target nodes. Due to the way the add
path is structured now, active ref handling is done in the callers
of kernfs_add_one(). This will be consolidated up later.
* kernfs_remove_one() is updated to deactivate instead of setting
KERNFS_REMOVED. This removes deactivation from kernfs_deactivate(),
which is now renamed to kernfs_drain().
* kernfs_dop_revalidate() now tests RB_EMPTY_NODE(&kn->rb) instead of
KERNFS_REMOVED and KERNFS_REMOVED test in kernfs_dir_pos() is
dropped. A node which is removed from the children rbtree is not
included in the iteration in the first place. This means that a
node may be visible through vfs a bit longer - it's now also visible
after deactivation until the actual removal. This slightly enlarged
window difference doesn't make any difference to the userland.
* Sanity check on KERNFS_REMOVED in kernfs_put() is replaced with
checks on the active ref.
* Some comment style updates in the affected area.
v2: Reordered before removal path restructuring. kernfs_active()
dropped and kernfs_get/put_active() used instead. RB_EMPTY_NODE()
used in the lookup paths.

There currently are two mechanisms gating active ref lockdep
annotations - KERNFS_LOCKDEP flag and KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF type mask.
The former disables lockdep annotations in kernfs_get/put_active()
while the latter disables all of kernfs_deactivate().
While KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF also behaves as an optimization to skip the
deactivation step for non-file nodes, the benefit is marginal and it
needlessly diverges code paths. Let's drop KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF and use
KERNFS_LOCKDEP in kernfs_deactivate() too.
While at it, add a test helper kernfs_lockdep() to test KERNFS_LOCKDEP
flag so that it's more convenient and the related code can be compiled

kernfs_node->u.completion is used to notify deactivation completion
from kernfs_put_active() to kernfs_deactivate(). We now allow
multiple racing removals of the same node and the current removal
scheme is no longer correct - kernfs_remove() invocation may return
before the node is properly deactivated if it races against another
removal. The removal path will be restructured to address the issue.
To help such restructure which requires supporting multiple waiters,
this patch replaces kernfs_node->u.completion with
kernfs_root->deactivate_waitq. This makes deactivation event
notifications share a per-root waitqueue_head; however, the wait path
is quite cold and this will also allow shaving one pointer off
kernfs_node.
