Bhumika Goyal aa293583f0 configfs: make ci_type field, some pointers and function arguments const
The ci_type field of the config_item structure do not modify the fields
of the config_item_type structure it points to. And the other pointers
initialized with ci_type do not modify the fields as well.
So, make the ci_type field and the pointers initialized with ci_type
as const.

Make the struct config_item_type *type function argument of functions
config_{item/group}_init_type_name const as the argument in both the
functions is only stored in the ci_type field of a config_item structure
which is now made const.
Make the argument of configfs_register_default_group const as it is
only passed to the argument of the function config_group_init_type_name
which is now const.

Andrzej Pietrasiewicz e16769d4bc fs: configfs: don't return anything from drop_link
Documentation/filesystems/configfs/configfs.txt says:

"When unlink(2) is called on the symbolic link, the source item is
notified via the ->drop_link() method.  Like the ->drop_item() method,
this is a void function and cannot return failure."

The ->drop_item() is indeed a void function, the ->drop_link() is
actually not. This, together with the fact that the value of ->drop_link()
is silently ignored suggests, that it is the ->drop_link() return
type that should be corrected and changed to void.

This patch changes drop_link() signature and all its users.

Pantelis Antoniou 03607ace80 configfs: implement binary attributes
ConfigFS lacked binary attributes up until now. This patch
introduces support for binary attributes in a somewhat similar
manner of sysfs binary attributes albeit with changes that
fit the configfs usage model.

Problems that configfs binary attributes fix are everything that
requires a binary blob as part of the configuration of a resource,
such as bitstream loading for FPGAs, DTBs for dynamically created
devices etc.

Look at Documentation/filesystems/configfs/configfs.txt for internals
and howto use them.

This patch is against linux-next as of today that contains
Christoph's configfs rework.

Krzysztof Opasiak d79d75b5c5 fs: configfs: Add unlocked version of configfs_depend_item()
This change is necessary for the SCSI target usb gadget composed with
configfs. In this case configfs will be used for two different purposes:
to compose a usb gadget and to configure the target part. If an instance
of tcm function is created in $CONFIGFS_ROOT/usb_gadget/<gadget>/functions
a tpg can be created in $CONFIGFS_ROOT/target/usb_gadget/<wwn>/, but after
a tpg is created the tcm function must not be removed until its
corresponding tpg is gone. While the configfs_depend/undepend_item() are
meant exactly for creating this kind of dependencies, they are not suitable
if the other kernel subsystem happens to be another subsystem in configfs,
so this patch adds unlocked versions meant for configfs callbacks.

Above description has been provided by:
Andrzej Pietrasiewicz <andrzej.p@samsung.com>

In configfs_depend_item() we have to consider two possible cases:

1) When we are called to depend another item in the same subsystem
   as caller
	In this case we should skip locking configfs root as we know
	that configfs is in valid state and our subsystem will not
	be unregistered during this call.

2) When we are called to depend item in different subsystem than
   our caller
	In this case we are also sure that configfs is in valid state
	but we have to lock root of configfs to avoid unregistration
	of target's subsystem. As it is other than caller's subsystem,
	there may be nothing what protects us against unregistration
	of that subsystem.

Daniel Baluta 5cf6a51e60 configfs: allow dynamic group creation
This patchset introduces IIO software triggers, offers a way of configuring
them via configfs and adds the IIO hrtimer based interrupt source to be used
with software triggers.

The architecture is now split in 3 parts, to remove all IIO trigger specific
parts from IIO configfs core:

(1) IIO configfs - creates the root of the IIO configfs subsys.
(2) IIO software triggers - software trigger implementation, dynamically
    creating /config/iio/triggers group.
(3) IIO hrtimer trigger - is the first interrupt source for software triggers
    (with syfs to follow). Each trigger type can implement its own set of
    attributes.

Lockdep seems to be happy with the locking in configfs patch.

This patch (of 5):

We don't want to hardcode default groups at subsystem
creation time. We export:
	* configfs_register_group
	* configfs_unregister_group
to allow drivers to programatically create/destroy groups
later, after module init time.

This is needed for IIO configfs support.

(akpm: the other 4 patches to be merged via the IIO tree)

Nicolas Iooss 8db1486065 include, lib: add __printf attributes to several function prototypes
Using __printf attributes helps to detect several format string issues
at compile time (even though -Wformat-security is currently disabled in
Makefile).  For example it can detect when formatting a pointer as a
number, like the issue fixed in commit a3fa71c40f ("wl18xx: show
rx_frames_per_rates as an array as it really is"), or when the arguments
do not match the format string, c.f.  for example commit 5ce1aca814
("reiserfs: fix __RASSERT format string").

To prevent similar bugs in the future, add a __printf attribute to every
function prototype which needs one in include/linux/ and lib/.  These
functions were mostly found by using gcc's -Wsuggest-attribute=format
flag.

Joel Becker 631d1febab configfs: config item dependancies.
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.

Joel Becker 299894cc90 configfs: accessing item hierarchy during rmdir(2)
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.

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).

Satyam Sharma 9b1d9aa4e9 [PATCH] configfs+dlm: Separate out __CONFIGFS_ATTR into configfs.h
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.

Satyam Sharma 4c62b53454 configfs: misc cleanups
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.

Robert P. J. Day df4365ce88 configfs.h: Remove dead macro definitions.
Delete the __ATTR-related macro definitions since these are now
defined in include/linux/sysfs.h.

Joel Becker 3d0f89bb16 configfs: Add permission and ownership to configfs objects.
configfs always made item and attribute ownership root.root and
permissions based on a umask of 022.  Add ->setattr() to allow
chown(2)/chmod(2), and persist the changes for the lifetime of the
items and attributes.
