As kobj sysfs dentries and inodes are gonna be made reclaimable,
dentry can't be used as naming token for sysfs file/directory, replace
kobj->dentry with kobj->sd. The only external interface change is
shadow directory handling. All other changes are contained in kobj
and sysfs.

sysfs_drop_dentry() used to go through sd->s_dentry and
sd->s_parent->s_dentry to access the inodes. This is incorrect
because inode can be cached without dentry.
This patch makes sysfs_drop_dentry() access inodes using ilookup() on
sd->s_ino. This is both correct and simpler.

Make sysfs_dirent use singly linked list for its tree structure.
sysfs_link_sibling() and sysfs_unlink_sibling() functions are added to
handle simpler cases. It adds some complexity and cpu cycle overhead
but reduced memory footprint is worthwhile on big machines.
This change reduces the sizeof sysfs_dirent from 104 to 88 on 64bit
and from 60 to 52 on 32bit.

Make sysfs_dirent->s_active an atomic_t instead of rwsem. This
reduces the size of sysfs_dirent from 136 to 104 on 64bit and from 76
to 60 on 32bit with lock debugging turned off. With lock debugging
turned on the reduction is much larger.
s_active starts at zero and each active reference increments s_active.
Putting a reference decrements s_active. Deactivation subtracts
SD_DEACTIVATED_BIAS which is currently INT_MIN and assumed to be small
enough to make s_active negative. If s_active is negative,
sysfs_get() no longer grants new references. Deactivation succeeds
immediately if there is no active user; otherwise, it waits using a
completion for the last put.
Due to the removal of lockdep tricks, this change makes things less
trickier in release_sysfs_dirent(). As all the complexity is
contained in three s_active functions, I think it's more readable this
way.

After dentry is reclaimed, sysfs always used to allocate new dentry
and inode if the file is accessed again. This causes problem with
operations which only pin the inode. For example, if inotify watch is
added to a sysfs file and the dentry for the file is reclaimed, the
next update event creates new dentry and new inode making the inotify
watch miss all the events from there on.
This patch fixes it by using iget_locked() instead of new_inode().
sysfs_new_inode() is renamed to sysfs_get_inode() and inode is
initialized iff the inode is newly allocated. sysfs_instantiate() is
responsible for unlocking new inodes.

Reorganize/clean up sysfs_new_inode() and sysfs_create().
* sysfs_init_inode() is separated out from sysfs_new_inode() and is
responsible for basic initialization.
* sysfs_instantiate() replaces the last step of sysfs_create() and is
responsible for dentry instantitaion.
* type-specific initialization is moved out to the callers.
* mode is specified only once when creating a sysfs_dirent.
* spurious list_del_init(&sd->s_sibling) dropped from create_dir()
This change is to
* prepare for inode allocation fix.
* separate alloc and init code for synchronization update.
* make dentry/inode initialization more flexible for later changes.
This patch doesn't introduce visible behavior change.

sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.
This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.

sysfs: implement sysfs_dirent active reference and immediate disconnect
Opening a sysfs node references its associated kobject, so userland
can arbitrarily prolong lifetime of a kobject which complicates
lifetime rules in drivers. This patch implements active reference and
makes the association between kobject and sysfs immediately breakable.
Now each sysfs_dirent has two reference counts - s_count and s_active.
s_count is a regular reference count which guarantees that the
containing sysfs_dirent is accessible. As long as s_count reference
is held, all sysfs internal fields in sysfs_dirent are accessible
including s_parent and s_name.
The newly added s_active is active reference count. This is acquired
by invoking sysfs_get_active() and it's the caller's responsibility to
ensure sysfs_dirent itself is accessible (should be holding s_count
one way or the other). Dereferencing sysfs_dirent to access objects
out of sysfs proper requires active reference. This includes access
to the associated kobjects, attributes and ops.
The active references can be drained and denied by calling
sysfs_deactivate(). All active sysfs_dirents must be deactivated
after deletion but before the default reference is dropped. This
enables immediate disconnect of sysfs nodes. Once a sysfs_dirent is
deleted, it won't access any entity external to sysfs proper.
Because attr/bin_attr ops access both the node itself and its parent
for kobject, they need to hold active references to both.
sysfs_get/put_active_two() helpers are provided to help grabbing both
references. Parent's is acquired first and released last.
Unlike other operations, mmapped area lingers on after mmap() is
finished and the module implement implementing it and kobj need to
stay referenced till all the mapped pages are gone. This is
accomplished by holding one set of active references to the bin_attr
and its parent if there have been any mmap during lifetime of an
openfile. The references are dropped when the openfile is released.
This change makes sysfs lifetime rules independent from both kobject's
and module's. It not only fixes several race conditions caused by
sysfs not holding onto the proper module when referencing kobject, but
also helps fixing and simplifying lifetime management in driver model
and drivers by taking sysfs out of the equation.

sysfs symlink is implemented by referencing dentry and kobject from
sysfs_dirent - symlink entry references kobject, dentry is used to
walk the tree. This complicates object lifetimes rules and is
dangerous - for example, there is no way to tell to which module the
target of a symlink belongs and referencing that kobject can make it
linger after the module is gone.
This patch reimplements symlink using only sysfs_dirent tree. sd for
a symlink points and holds reference to the target sysfs_dirent and
all walking is done using sysfs_dirent tree. Simpler and safer.

kobj->dentry can go away anytime unless the user controls when the
associated sysfs node is deleted. This patch implements
kobj_sysfs_assoc_lock which protects kobj->dentry. This will be used
to maintain kobj based API when converting sysfs to use sysfs_dirent
tree instead of dentry/kobject.
Note that this lock belongs to kobject/driver-model not sysfs. Once
sysfs is converted to not use kobject in its interface, this can be
removed from sysfs.
This is in preparation of object reference simplification.

Make sd->s_element a union of sysfs_elem_{dir|symlink|attr|bin_attr}
and rename it to s_elem. This is to achieve...
* some level of type checking : changing symlink to point to
sysfs_dirent instead of kobject is much safer and less painful now.
* easier / standardized dereferencing
* allow sysfs_elem_* to contain more than one entry
Where possible, pointer is obtained by directly deferencing from sd
instead of going through other entities. This reduces dependencies to
dentry, inode and kobject. to_attr() and to_bin_attr() are unused now
and removed.

Add sysfs_dirent->s_parent. With this patch, each sd points to and
holds a reference to its parent. This allows walking sysfs tree
without referencing sd->s_dentry which can go away anytime if the user
doesn't control when it's deleted.
sd->s_parent is initialized and parent is referenced in
sysfs_attach_dirent(). Reference to parent is released when the sd is
released, so as long as reference to a sd is held, s_parent can be
followed.
dentry walk in sysfs_readdir() is convereted to s_parent walk.
This will be used to reimplement symlink such that it uses only
sysfs_dirent tree.

Currently there are four functions to create sysfs_dirent -
__sysfs_new_dirent(), sysfs_new_dirent(), __sysfs_make_dirent() and
sysfs_make_dirent(). Other than sysfs_make_dirent(), no function has
two users if calls to implement other functions are excluded.
This patch consolidates sysfs_dirent creation functions into the
following two.
* sysfs_new_dirent() : allocate and initialize
* sysfs_attach_dirent() : attach to sysfs_dirent hierarchy and/or
associate with dentry
This simplifies interface and gives callers more flexibility. This is
in preparation of object reference simplification.

Allowing attribute and symlink dentries to be reclaimed means
sd->s_dentry can change dynamically. However, updates to the field
are unsynchronized leading to race conditions. This patch adds
sysfs_lock and use it to synchronize updates to sd->s_dentry.
Due to the locking around ->d_iput, the check in sysfs_drop_dentry()
is complex. sysfs_lock only protect sd->s_dentry pointer itself. The
validity of the dentry is protected by dcache_lock, so whether dentry
is alive or not can only be tested while holding both locks.
This is minimal backport of sysfs_drop_dentry() rewrite in devel

Backport of

For regular files in sysfs, sysfs_readdir wants to traverse
sysfs_dirent->s_dentry->d_inode->i_ino to get to the inode number.
But, the dentry can be reclaimed under memory pressure, and there is
no synchronization with readdir. This patch follows Tejun's scheme of
allocating and storing an inode number in the new s_ino member of a
sysfs_dirent, when dirents are created, and retrieving it from there
for readdir, so that the pointer chain doesn't have to be traversed.
Tejun's upstream patch uses a new-ish "ida" allocator which brings
along some extra complexity; this -stable patch has a brain-dead
incrementing counter which does not guarantee uniqueness, but because
sysfs doesn't hash inodes as iunique expects, uniqueness wasn't
guaranteed today anyway.

First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.
This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
getting them indirectly
Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

The simplest fix for this bug is to prevent sysfs_move_dir()
from self-deadlocking when (old_parent == new_parent).
This patch prevents total system lockup when using rfcomm devices.

This patch (as860) adds two new sysfs routines:
sysfs_add_file_to_group() and sysfs_remove_file_from_group().
A later patch adds code that uses the new routines.

struct sysfs_dirent is private to the fs/sysfs/ subtree. It is
not even referenced as an opaque structure outside of that subtree.
The following patch moves the declaration from include/linux/sysfs.h to
fs/sysfs/sysfs.h, making it clearer that nothing else in the kernel
dereferences it.
I have been running this patch for years. Please integrate and forward
upstream if there are no objections.
