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.

Commit 86c9508eb1c0ce5aa07b5cf1d36b60c54efc3d7a
"sysfs: don't block indefinitely for unmapped files" in linux-next
crashes the PowerMac G5 when X starts up. It's caught out by the way
powerpc's pci_mmap of legacy_mem uses shmem_zero_setup(), substituting
a new vma->vm_file whose private_data no longer points to the bin_buffer
(substitution done because some versions of X crash if that mmap fails).
The fix to this is straightforward: the original vm_file is fput() in
that case, so this mmap won't block sysfs at all, so just don't switch
over to bin_vm_ops if vm_file has changed.
But more fixes made before realizing that was the problem:-
It should not be an error if bin_page_mkwrite() finds no underlying
page_mkwrite().
Check that a file already mmap'ed has the same underlying vm_ops
_before_ pointing vma->vm_ops at bin_vm_ops.
If the file being mmap'ed is a shmem/tmpfs file, don't fail the mmap
on CONFIG_NUMA=y, just because that has a set_policy and get_policy:
provide bin_set_policy, bin_get_policy and bin_migrate.

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.

Well, first of all, I don't want to change so many files either.
What I do:
Adding a new parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in the
.read/.write methods for the sysfs binary attributes.
In fact, only the four lines change in fs/sysfs/bin.c and
include/linux/sysfs.h do the real work.
But I have to update all the files that use binary attributes
to make them compatible with the new .read and .write methods.
I'm not sure if I missed any. :(
Why I do this:
For a sysfs attribute, we can get a pointer pointing to the
struct attribute in the .show/.store method,
while we can't do this for the binary attributes.
I don't know why this is different, but this does make it not
so handy to use the binary attributes as the regular ones.
So I think this patch is reasonable. :)
Who benefits from it:
The patch that exposes ACPI tables in sysfs
requires such an improvement.
All the table binary attributes share the same .read method.
Parameter "struct bin_attribute *" is used to get
the table signature and instance number which are used to
distinguish different ACPI table binary attributes.
Without this parameter, we need to offer different .read methods
for different ACPI table binary attributes.
This is impossible as there are various ACPI tables on different
platforms, and we don't know what they are until they are loaded.

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.

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.
This is in preparation of object reference simplification.
