configfs: fix registered group removal

2018-09-26T06:39:37Z

[ Upstream commit cc57c07343bd071cdf1915a91a24ab7d40c9b590 ] This patch fixes a bug where configfs_register_group had added a group in a tree, and userspace has done a rmdir on a dir somewhere above that group and we hit a kernel crash. The problem is configfs_rmdir will detach everything under it and unlink groups on the default_groups list. It will not unlink groups added with configfs_register_group so when configfs_unregister_group is called to drop its references to the group/items we crash when we try to access the freed dentrys. The patch just adds a check for if a rmdir has been done above us and if so just does the unlink part of unregistration. Sorry if you are getting this multiple times. I thouhgt I sent this to some of you and lkml, but I do not see it.

configfs: make ci_type field, some pointers and function arguments const

2017-10-19T14:15:16Z

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.

grab a reference to dentry we'd got the sucker from, and return that dentry via *wait, rather than just returning the address of ->i_mutex. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

configfs: switch ->default groups to a linked list

2016-03-06T15:11:24Z

Replace the current NULL-terminated array of default groups with a linked list. This gets rid of lots of nasty code to size and/or dynamically allocate the array. While we're at it also provide a conveniant helper to remove the default groups.

configfs: implement binary attributes

2016-01-04T11:31:46Z

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.
