fac2622bba sysfs: Pass super_block to sysfs_get_inode
Currently sysfs_get_inode magically returns an inode on
sysfs_sb.  Make the super_block parameter explicit and
the code becomes clearer.

7cb32942d9 sysfs: Implement sysfs_rename_link
Because of rename ordering problems we occassionally give false
warnings about invalid sysfs operations.  So using sysfs_rename
create a sysfs_rename_link function that doesn't need strange
workarounds.

19c38b632d sysfs: Pack sysfs_dirent more tightly.
Placing the 16bit s_mode between a pointer and a long doesn't pack well
especailly on 64bit where we wast 48 bits.  So move s_mode and
declare it as a unsigned short.  This is the sysfs backing store
after all we don't need fields extra large just in case someday
we want userspace to be able to use a larger value.

f8d4f618fe sysfs: Serialize updates to the vfs inode
The vfs depends upon filesystem methods to update the
vfs inode.   Sysfs adds to the normal number of places
where the vfs inode is updated by also updatng the
vfs inode in sysfs_refresh_inode.

Typically the inode mutex is used to serialize updates
to the vfs inode, but grabbing the inode mutex in
sysfs_permission and sysfs_getattr causes deadlocks,
because sometimes the vfs calls those operations with
the inode mutex held.  Therefore sysfs  can not use the
inode mutex to serial updates to the vfs inode.

The sysfs_mutex is acquired in all of the routines
where sysfs updates the vfs inode, and with a small
change we can consistently protext sysfs vfs inode
updates with the sysfs_mutex. To protect the sysfs
vfs inode updates with the sysfs_mutex simply requires
extending the scope of sysfs_mutex in sysfs_setattr
over inode_setattr, and over inode_change_ok (so we
have an unchanging inode when we perform the check).

35960258ed sysfs: Document sysfs_attr_init and sysfs_bin_attr_init
I have added a new requirement to the external sysfs interface
that dynamically allocated sysfs attributes must call sysfs_attr_init
if lockdep is enabled.  For the time being callying sysfs_attr_init
is only mandatory if lockdep is enabled, so we can live with a few
unconverted instances until we find them all.  As this is part of
the public interface of sysfs it is a good idea to document these
pseudo functions so someone inspeciting the code can find out
what has happened.

a07e4156a2 sysfs: Use sysfs_attr_init and sysfs_bin_attr_init on dynamic attributes
These are the non-static sysfs attributes that exist on
my test machine.  Fix them to use sysfs_attr_init or
sysfs_bin_attr_init as appropriate.   It simply requires
making a sysfs attribute present to see this.  So this
is a little bit tedious but otherwise not too bad.

6992f53349 sysfs: Use one lockdep class per sysfs attribute.
Acknowledge that the logical sysfs rwsem has one instance per
sysfs attribute with different locking depencencies for different
attributes.

There is a sysfs idiom where writing to one sysfs file causes the
addition or removal of other sysfs files.   Lumping all of the
sysfs attributes together in one lock class causes lockdep to
generate lots of false positives.

This introduces the requirement that non-static sysfs attributes
need to be initialized with sysfs_attr_init or sysfs_bin_attr_init.
Strictly speaking this requirement only exists when lockdep is
enabled, and when lockdep is enabled we get a bit fat warning
if this requirement is not met.

dirents where we need active references we are left with

e72ceb8cca sysfs: Remove sysfs_get/put_active_two
It turns out that holding an active reference on a directory is
pointless.  The purpose of the active references are to allows us to
block when removing sysfs entries that have custom methods so we don't
remove modules while running modular code and to keep those custom
methods from accessing data structures after the files have been
removed.  Further sysfs_remove_dir remove all elements in the
directory before removing the directory itself, so there is no chance
we will remove a directory with active children.

 * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
   modification attempts on archs that enforce
   read-only kernel data at runtime

 * potentially better optimized code as the compiler
   can assume that the const data cannot be changed

 * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata

985fc176a6 driver-core: firmware_class: remove base.h header inclusion
base.h is used by base drivers for sharing internal structures.
Turns out firmware_class does not depend on it at all so remove it.

1e5289c97b sysfs: Cache the last sysfs_dirent to improve readdir scalability v2
When sysfs_readdir stops short we now cache the next
sysfs_dirent to return to user space in filp->private_data.
There is no impact on the rest of sysfs by doing this and
in the common case it allows us to pick up exactly where
we left off with no seeking.

Additionally I drop and regrab the sysfs_mutex around
filldir to avoid a page fault abritrarily increasing the
hold time on the sysfs_mutex.

v2: Returned to using INT_MAX as the EOF condition.
    seekdir is ambiguous unless all directory entries have
    a unique f_pos value.

28812fe11a driver-core: Add attribute argument to class_attribute show/store
Passing the attribute to the low level IO functions allows all kinds
of cleanups, by sharing low level IO code without requiring
an own function for every piece of data.

Also drivers can extend the attributes with own data fields
and use that in the low level function.

This makes the class attributes the same as sysdev_class attributes
and plain attributes.

This will allow further cleanups in drivers.

Full tree sweep converting all users.

38457ab3a0 sysfs: Add attribute array to sysdev classes
Add a attribute array that is automatically registered and unregistered
to struct sysdev_class. This is similar to what struct class has.

A lot of drivers add list of attributes, so it's better to do 
this easily in the common sysdev layer.

This adds a new field to struct sysdev_class. I audited the 
whole tree and there are no dynamically allocated sysdev classes,
so this is fully compatible.
