Merge patch series "scsi: Constify 'struct bin_attribute'"

2025-01-02T20:08:42+00:00

Thomas Weißschuh  says:

The sysfs core now allows instances of 'struct bin_attribute' to be
moved into read-only memory. Make use of that to protect them against
accidental or malicious modifications.

scsi: Rename .slave_alloc() and .slave_destroy()

2024-12-04T20:34:28+00:00

Rename .slave_alloc() into .sdev_init() and .slave_destroy() into
.sdev_destroy(). The new names make it clear that these are actions on
SCSI devices. Make this change in the SCSI core, SCSI drivers and also
in the ATA drivers. No functionality has been changed.

This patch has been created as follows:
* Change the text "slave_alloc" into "sdev_init" in all source files
  except those in drivers/net/ and Documentation/.
* Change the text "slave_destroy" into "sdev_destroy" in all source
  files except those in drivers/net/ and Documentation/.
* Rename lpfc_no_slave() into lpfc_no_sdev().
* Manually adjust whitespace where necessary to restore vertical
  alignment (dc395x driver and include/linux/libata.h).

sysfs: treewide: constify attribute callback of bin_is_visible()

2024-11-05T13:00:28+00:00

The is_bin_visible() callbacks should not modify the struct
bin_attribute passed as argument.
Enforce this by marking the argument as const.

As there are not many callback implementers perform this change
throughout the tree at once.

driver core: have match() callback in struct bus_type take a const *

2024-07-03T13:16:54+00:00

In the match() callback, the struct device_driver * should not be
changed, so change the function callback to be a const *.  This is one
step of many towards making the driver core safe to have struct
device_driver in read-only memory.

Because the match() callback is in all busses, all busses are modified
to handle this properly.  This does entail switching some container_of()
calls to container_of_const() to properly handle the constant *.

For some busses, like PCI and USB and HV, the const * is cast away in
the match callback as those busses do want to modify those structures at
this point in time (they have a local lock in the driver structure.)
That will have to be changed in the future if they wish to have their
struct device * in read-only-memory.

scsi: core: Store owner from modules with scsi_register_driver()

2024-04-06T00:58:25+00:00

Modules registering driver with scsi_driver_register() might forget to set
.owner field.  The field is used by some of other kernel parts for
reference counting (try_module_get()), so it is expected that drivers will
set it.

Solve the problem by moving this task away from the drivers to the core
scsi code, just like we did for platform_driver in commit 9447057eaff8
("platform_device: use a macro instead of platform_driver_register").

Pull more SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "The vfs has long had a write lifetime hint mechanism that gives the
  expected longevity on storage of the data being written. f2fs was the
  original consumer of this and used the hint for flash data placement
  (mostly to avoid write amplification by placing objects with similar
  lifetimes in the same erase block).

  More recently the SCSI based UFS (Universal Flash Storage) drivers
  have wanted to take advantage of this as well, for the same reasons as
  f2fs, necessitating plumbing the write hints through the block layer
  and then adding it to the SCSI core.

  The vfs write_hints already taken plumbs this as far as block and this
  completes the SCSI core enabling based on a recently agreed reuse of
  the old write command group number. The additions to the scsi_debug
  driver are for emulating this property so we can run tests on it in
  the absence of an actual UFS device"

scsi: core: Constify the struct device_type usage

2024-02-27T02:22:26+00:00

Since commit aed65af1cc2f ("drivers: make device_type const"), the driver
core can properly handle constant struct device_type. Move the
scsi_host_type, scsi_target_type and scsi_dev_type variables to be constant
structures as well, placing it into read-only memory which can not be
modified at runtime.
