2008-07-31[PATCH] configfs: Convenience macros for attribute definition.Joel Becker1-2/+65
Sysfs has the _ATTR() and _ATTR_RO() macros to make defining extended form attributes easier. configfs should have something similiar. - _CONFIGFS_ATTR() and _CONFIGFS_ATTR_RO() are the counterparts to the sysfs macros. - CONFIGFS_ATTR_STRUCT() creates the extended form attribute structure. - CONFIGFS_ATTR_OPS() defines the show_attribute()/store_attribute() operations that call the show()/store() operations of the extended form configfs_attributes.

2008-07-31[PATCH] configfs: Include linux/err.h in linux/configfs.hJoel Becker1-0/+1

2008-07-17configfs: Allow ->make_item() and ->make_group() to return detailed errors.Joel Becker1-1/+2
The configfs operations ->make_item() and ->make_group() currently return a new item/group. A return of NULL signifies an error. Because of this, -ENOMEM is the only return code bubbled up the stack. Multiple folks have requested the ability to return specific error codes when these operations fail. This patch adds that ability by changing the ->make_item/group() ops to return ERR_PTR() values. These errors are bubbled up appropriately. NULL returns are changed to -ENOMEM for compatibility. Also updated are the in-kernel users of configfs. This is a rework of reverted commit 11c3b79218390a139f2d474ee1e983a672d5839a. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>

2007-07-10configfs: config item dependancies.Joel Becker1-0/+5
Sometimes other drivers depend on particular configfs items. For example, ocfs2 mounts depend on a heartbeat region item. If that region item is removed with rmdir(2), the ocfs2 mount must BUG or go readonly. Not happy. This provides two additional API calls: configfs_depend_item() and configfs_undepend_item(). A client driver can call configfs_depend_item() on an existing item to tell configfs that it is depended on. configfs will then return -EBUSY from rmdir(2) for that item. When the item is no longer depended on, the client driver calls configfs_undepend_item() on it. These API cannot be called underneath any configfs callbacks, as they will conflict. They can block and allocate. A client driver probably shouldn't calling them of its own gumption. Rather it should be providing an API that external subsystems call. How does this work? Imagine the ocfs2 mount process. When it mounts, it asks for a heart region item. This is done via a call into the heartbeat code. Inside the heartbeat code, the region item is looked up. Here, the heartbeat code calls configfs_depend_item(). If it succeeds, then heartbeat knows the region is safe to give to ocfs2. If it fails, it was being torn down anyway, and heartbeat can gracefully pass up an error.

2007-07-10configfs: accessing item hierarchy during rmdir(2)Joel Becker1-0/+1
Add a notification callback, ops->disconnect_notify(). It has the same prototype as ->drop_item(), but it will be called just before the item linkage is broken. This way, configfs users who want to do work while the object is still in the heirarchy have a chance. Client drivers will still need to config_item_put() in their ->drop_item(), if they implement it. They need do nothing in ->disconnect_notify(). They don't have to provide it if they don't care. But someone who wants to be notified before ci_parent is set to NULL can now be notified. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>

2007-07-10[PATCH] configfs+dlm: Rename config_group_find_obj and state semantics clearlySatyam Sharma1-5/+2
Configfs being based upon sysfs code, config_group_find_obj() is probably so named because of the similar kset_find_obj() in sysfs. However, "kobject"s in sysfs become "config_item"s in configfs, so let's call it config_group_find_item() instead, for sake of uniformity, and make corresponding change in the users of this function. BTW a crucial difference between kset_find_obj and config_group_find_item is in locking expectations. kset_find_obj does its locking by itself, but config_group_find_item expects the *caller* to do the locking. The reason for this: kset's have their own locks, config_group's don't but instead rely on the subsystem mutex. And, subsystem needn't necessarily be around when config_group_find_item() is called. So let's state these locking semantics explicitly, and rectify the comment, otherwise bugs could continue to occur in future, as they did in the past (refer commit d82b8191e238 in gfs2-2.6-fixes.git).

2007-07-10[PATCH] configfs+dlm: Separate out __CONFIGFS_ATTR into configfs.hSatyam Sharma1-0/+16
fs/dlm/config.c contains a useful generic macro called __CONFIGFS_ATTR that is similar to sysfs' __ATTR macro that makes defining attributes easy for any user of configfs. Separate it out into configfs.h so that other users (forthcoming in dynamic netconsole patchset) can use it too.

2007-07-10configfs: misc cleanupsSatyam Sharma1-1/+0
1. item.c:config_item_cleanup() is a private function (only called by config_item_release() in same file). However, it is spuriously exported in include/linux/configfs.h, so remove that export and make it static in item.c. Also, it is no longer exported / interface function, so no need to give comment for this function (the comment was stating obvious thing, anyway). 2. Kernel-doc comment format does not allow empty line between end of comment and start of function (declaration line). There were several such spurious empty lines in item.c, so fix them. fs/configfs/item.c | 15 +++------------ include/linux/configfs.h | 1 - 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) Signed-off-by: Satyam Sharma <ssatyam@cse.iitk.ac.in> Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
