2013-09-26sysfs: make attr namespace interface less convolutedTejun Heo
sysfs ns (namespace) implementation became more convoluted than necessary while trying to hide ns information from visible interface. The relatively recent attr ns support is a good example. * attr ns tag is determined by sysfs_ops->namespace() callback while dir tag is determined by kobj_type->namespace(). The placement is arbitrary. * Instead of performing operations with explicit ns tag, the namespace callback is routed through sysfs_attr_ns(), sysfs_ops->namespace(), class_attr_namespace(), class_attr->namespace(). It's not simpler in any sense. The only thing this convolution does is traversing the whole stack backwards. The namespace callbacks are unncessary because the operations involved are inherently synchronous. The information can be provided in in straight-forward top-down direction and reversing that direction is unnecessary and against basic design principles. This backward interface is unnecessarily convoluted and hinders properly separating out sysfs from driver model / kobject for proper layering. This patch updates attr ns support such that * sysfs_ops->namespace() and class_attr->namespace() are dropped. * sysfs_{create|remove}_file_ns(), which take explicit @ns param, are added and sysfs_{create|remove}_file() are now simple wrappers around the ns aware functions. * ns handling is dropped from sysfs_chmod_file(). Nobody uses it at this point. sysfs_chmod_file_ns() can be added later if necessary. * Explicit @ns is propagated through class_{create|remove}_file_ns() and netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns(). * driver/net/bonding which is currently the only user of attr namespace is updated to use netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns() with @bh->net as the ns tag instead of using the namespace callback. This patch should be an equivalent conversion without any functional difference. It makes the code easier to follow, reduces lines of code a bit and helps proper separation and layering.

2013-08-22sysfs.h: remove attr_name() macroGreg Kroah-Hartman
Gotta love a macro that doesn't reduce the typing you have to do. Also, only the driver core, and one network driver uses this. The driver core functions will be going away soon, and I'll convert the network driver soon to not need this as well, so delete it for now before anyone else gets some bright ideas and wants to use it.

2013-02-06driver-core: constify data for class_find_device()Michał Mirosław
All in-kernel users of class_find_device() don't really need mutable data for match callback. In two places (kernel/power/suspend_test.c, drivers/scsi/osd/osd_uld.c) this patch changes match callbacks to use const search data. The const is propagated to rtc_class_open() and power_supply_get_by_name() parameters. Note that there's a dev reference leak in suspend_test.c that's not touched in this patch.

2011-12-14driver-core: implement 'sysdev' functionality for regular devices and busesKay Sievers
All sysdev classes and sysdev devices will converted to regular devices and buses to properly hook userspace into the event processing. There is no interesting difference between a 'sysdev' and 'device' which would justify to roll an entire own subsystem with different userspace export semantics. Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure from sysdev devices, which are currently not properly available. Every converted sysdev class will create a regular device with the class name in /sys/devices/system and all registered devices will becom a children of theses devices. For compatibility reasons, the sysdev class-wide attributes are created at this parent device. (Do not copy that logic for anything new, subsystem- wide properties belong to the subsystem, not to some fake parent device created in /sys/devices.) Every sysdev driver is implemented as a simple subsystem interface now, and no longer called a driver. After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.

2010-10-22SYSFS: Allow boot time switching between deprecated and modern sysfs layoutAndi Kleen
I have some systems which need legacy sysfs due to old tools that are making assumptions that a directory can never be a symlink to another directory, and it's a big hazzle to compile separate kernels for them. This patch turns CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED into a run time option that can be switched on/off the kernel command line. This way the same binary can be used in both cases with just a option on the command line. The old CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 option is still there to set the default. I kept the weird name to not break existing config files. Also the compat code can be still completely disabled by undefining CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_SWITCH -- just the optimizer takes care of this now instead of lots of ifdefs. This makes the code look nicer. v2: This is an updated version on top of Kay's patch to only handle the block devices. I tested it on my old systems and that seems to work.

2009-09-15Driver core: Add support for compatibility classesJean Delvare
When turning class devices into bus devices, we may need to temporarily add links in sysfs so that user-space applications are not confused. This is done by adding the following API: * Functions to register and unregister compatibility classes. These appear in sysfs at the same location as regular classes, but instead of class devices, they contain links to bus devices. * Functions to create and delete such links. Additionally, the caller can optionally pass a target device to which a "device" link should point (typically that would be the device's parent), to fully emulate the original class device. The i2c subsystem will be the first user of this API, as i2c adapters are being converted from class devices to bus devices.

2008-10-09driver-core: use klist for class device list and implement iteratorTejun Heo
Iterating over entries using callback usually isn't too fun especially when the entry being iterated over can't be manipulated freely. This patch converts class->p->class_devices to klist and implements class device iterator so that the users can freely build their own control structure. The users are also free to call back into class code without worrying about locking. class_for_each_device() and class_find_device() are converted to use the new iterators, so their users don't have to worry about locking anymore either. Note: This depends on klist-dont-iterate-over-deleted-entries patch because class_intf->add/remove_dev() depends on proper synchronization with device removal.

2008-07-21sysfs: add /sys/dev/{char,block} to lookup sysfs path by major:minorDan Williams
Why?: There are occasions where userspace would like to access sysfs attributes for a device but it may not know how sysfs has named the device or the path. For example what is the sysfs path for /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3160827AS_5MT004CK? With this change a call to stat(2) returns the major:minor then userspace can see that /sys/dev/block/8:32 links to /sys/block/sdc. What are the alternatives?: 1/ Add an ioctl to return the path: Doable, but sysfs is meant to reduce the need to proliferate ioctl interfaces into the kernel, so this seems counter productive. 2/ Use udev to create these symlinks: Also doable, but it adds a udev dependency to utilities that might be running in a limited environment like an initramfs. 3/ Do a full-tree search of sysfs.

2007-10-31Revert "Driver core: remove class_device_*_bin_file"Greg Kroah-Hartman
This reverts commit fcd239d3d5575e5cc63aab5c33cf6dc66904f6d6. I messed up, ia64 still uses these files in the current tree, and now can not build the pci code, which all ia64 boxes seem to require :) This fixes that mistake. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2007-10-30Driver core: remove class_device_*_bin_fileGreg Kroah-Hartman
These functions are not used by anyone, so remove them from the tree. The class_device code will be removed soon anyway, so no future users will ever be possible. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2007-10-12driver core: remove subsystem_init()Greg Kroah-Hartman
There is only one user of it, and it is only a wrapper for kset_init(). Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
