From 04256b4a8fc73f54cd14f20867882c299728a446 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2009 13:20:23 -0800 Subject: sysfs: reference sysfs_dirent from sysfs inodes The sysfs_dirent serves as both an inode and a directory entry for sysfs. To prevent the sysfs inode numbers from being freed prematurely hold a reference to sysfs_dirent from the sysfs inode. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: add comment] Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Biederman" Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2009 11:57:20 -0800 Subject: sysfs: don't block indefinitely for unmapped files. Modify sysfs bin files so that we can remove the bin file while they are still mapped. When the kobject is removed we unmap the bin file and arrange for future accesses to the mapping to receive SIGBUS. Implementing this prevents a nasty DOS when pci devices are hot plugged and unplugged. Where if any of their resources were mmaped the kernel could not free up their pci resources or release their pci data structures.
