sysfs: convert BUG_ON to WARN_ON

It's rude to crash the system just because the developer did something
wrong, as it prevents them from usually even seeing what went wrong.

So convert the few BUG_ON() calls that have snuck into the sysfs code
over the years to WARN_ON() to make it more "friendly". All of these
are able to be recovered from, so it makes no sense to crash.

s_ prefix for kernfs members is used inconsistently and a misnomer
now. It's not like kernfs_node is used widely across the kernel
making the ability to grep for the members particularly useful. Let's
just drop the prefix.

* misc renames of local vars when they conflict with the above

Because md, mic and gpio dig into sysfs details, this patch ends up
modifying them. All are sysfs_dirent renames and trivial. While we
can avoid these by introducing a dummy wrapping struct sysfs_dirent
around kernfs_node, given the limited usage outside kernfs and sysfs
proper, I don't think such workaround is called for.

This patch is strictly rename only and doesn't introduce any
functional difference.

sysfs, kernfs: introduce kernfs[_find_and]_get() and kernfs_put()

Introduce kernfs interface for finding, getting and putting

* sysfs_find_dirent() is renamed to kernfs_find_ns() and lockdep
assertion for sysfs_mutex is added.

* sysfs_get_dirent_ns() is renamed to kernfs_find_and_get().

* Macro inline dancing around __sysfs_get/put() are removed and
kernfs_get/put() are made proper functions implemented in
fs/sysfs/dir.c.

While the conversions are mostly equivalent, there's one difference -
kernfs_get() doesn't return the input param as its return value. This
change is intentional. While passing through the input increases
writability in some areas, it is unnecessary and has been shown to
cause confusion regarding how the last ref is handled.

sysfs, kernfs: replace sysfs_dirent->s_dir.kobj and ->s_attr.[bin_]attr with ->priv

A directory sysfs_dirent points to the associated kobj. A regular or
bin file points to the associated [bin_]attribute. This patch
replaces sysfs_dirent->s_dir.kobj and ->s_attr.[bin_]attr with void *
->priv.

This is to prepare for kernfs interface so that sysfs can specify the
private data in the same way for directories and files. This lower
debuggability but not by much - the whole thing was overlaid in a
union anyway. If debuggability becomes an issue, we can later add
->priv accessors which explicitly check for the sysfs_dirent type and

sysfs: drop kobj_ns_type handling, take #2

The way namespace tags are implemented in sysfs is more complicated
than necessary. As each tag is a pointer value and required to be
non-NULL under a namespace enabled parent, there's no need to record
separately what type each tag is. If multiple namespace types are
needed, which currently aren't, we can simply compare the tag to a set
of allowed tags in the superblock assuming that the tags, being
pointers, won't have the same value across multiple types.

This patch rips out kobj_ns_type handling from sysfs. sysfs now has
an enable switch to turn on namespace under a node. If enabled, all
children are required to have non-NULL namespace tags and filtered
against the super_block's tag.

kobject namespace determination is now performed in
lib/kobject.c::create_dir() making sysfs_read_ns_type() unnecessary.
The sanity checks are also moved. create_dir() is restructured to
ease such addition. This removes most kobject namespace knowledge
from sysfs proper which will enable proper separation and layering of
sysfs.

This is the second try. The first one was cb26a311578e ("sysfs: drop
kobj_ns_type handling") which tried to automatically enable namespace
if there are children with non-NULL namespace tags; however, it was
broken for symlinks as they should inherit the target's tag iff
namespace is enabled in the parent. This led to namespace filtering
enabled incorrectly for wireless net class devices through phy80211
symlinks and thus network configuration failure. a1212d278c05
("Revert "sysfs: drop kobj_ns_type handling"") reverted the commit.

This shouldn't introduce any behavior changes, for real.

v2: Dummy implementation of sysfs_enable_ns() for !CONFIG_SYSFS was
missing and caused build failure. Reported by kbuild test robot.

sysfs: rename sysfs_assoc_lock and explain what it's about

sysfs_assoc_lock is an odd piece of locking. In general, whoever owns
a kobject is responsible for synchronizing sysfs operations and sysfs
proper assumes that, for example, removal won't race with any other
operation; however, this doesn't work for symlinking because an entity
performing symlink doesn't usually own the target kobject and thus has
no control over its removal.

sysfs_assoc_lock synchronizes symlink operations against kobj->sd
disassociation so that symlink code doesn't end up dereferencing
already freed sysfs_dirent by racing with removal of the target
kobject.

This is quite obscure and the generic name of the lock and lack of
comments make it difficult to understand its role. Let's rename it to
sysfs_symlink_target_lock and add comments explaining what's going on.

sysfs: remove sysfs_addrm_cxt->parent_sd

sysfs_addrm_start/finish() enclose sysfs_dirent additions and
deletions and sysfs_addrm_cxt is used to record information necessary
to finish the operations. Currently, sysfs_addrm_start() takes
@parent_sd, records it in sysfs_addrm_cxt, and assumes that all
operations in the block are performed under that @parent_sd.

This assumption has been fine until now but we want to make some
operations behave recursively and, while having @parent_sd recorded in
sysfs_addrm_cxt doesn't necessarily prevents that, it becomes
confusing.

This patch removes sysfs_addrm_cxt->parent_sd and makes
sysfs_add_one() take an explicit @parent_sd parameter. Note that
sysfs_remove_one() doesn't need the extra argument as its parent is
always known from the target @sd.

While at it, add __acquires/releases() notations to
sysfs_addrm_start/finish() respectively.

This patch doesn't make any functional difference.

sysfs: clean up sysfs_get_dirent()

The pre-existing sysfs interfaces which take explicit namespace
argument are weird in that they place the optional @ns in front of
@name which is contrary to the established convention. For example,
we end up forcing vast majority of sysfs_get_dirent() users to do
sysfs_get_dirent(parent, NULL, name), which is silly and error-prone
especially as @ns and @name may be interchanged without causing
compilation warning.

This renames sysfs_get_dirent() to sysfs_get_dirent_ns() and swap the
positions of @name and @ns, and sysfs_get_dirent() is now a wrapper
around sysfs_get_dirent_ns(). This makes confusions a lot less
likely.

There are other interfaces which take @ns before @name. They'll be
updated by following patches.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

sysfs: drop kobj_ns_type handling

The way namespace tags are implemented in sysfs is more complicated
than necessary. As each tag is a pointer value and required to be
non-NULL under a namespace enabled parent, there's no need to record
separately what type each tag is or where namespace is enabled.

If multiple namespace types are needed, which currently aren't, we can
simply compare the tag to a set of allowed tags in the superblock
assuming that the tags, being pointers, won't have the same value
across multiple types. Also, whether to filter by namespace tag or
not can be trivially determined by whether the node has any tagged
children or not.

This patch rips out kobj_ns_type handling from sysfs. sysfs no longer
cares whether specific type of namespace is enabled or not. If a
sysfs_dirent has a non-NULL tag, the parent is marked as needing
namespace filtering and the value is tested against the allowed set of
tags for the superblock (currently only one but increasing this number
isn't difficult) and the sysfs_dirent is ignored if it doesn't match.

This removes most kobject namespace knowledge from sysfs proper which
will enable proper separation and layering of sysfs. The namespace
sanity checks in fs/sysfs/dir.c are replaced by the new sanity check
in kobject_namespace(). As this is the only place ktype->namespace()
is called for sysfs, this doesn't weaken the sanity check
significantly. I omitted converting the sanity check in
sysfs_do_create_link_sd(). While the check can be shifted to upper
layer, mistakes there are well contained and should be easily visible
anyway.

sysfs: remove ktype->namespace() invocations in symlink code

There's no reason for sysfs to be calling ktype->namespace(). It is
backwards, obfuscates what's going on and unnecessarily tangles two
separate layers.

There are two places where symlink code calls ktype->namespace().

* sysfs_do_create_link_sd() calls it to find out the namespace tag of
the target directory. Unless symlinking races with cross-namespace
renaming, this equals @target_sd->s_ns.

* sysfs_rename_link() uses it to find out the new namespace to rename
to and the new namespace can be different from the existing one.
The function is renamed to sysfs_rename_link_ns() with an explicit
@ns argument and the ktype->namespace() invocation is shifted to the
device layer.

While this patch replaces ktype->namespace() invocation with the
recorded result in @target_sd, this shouldn't result in any behvior
difference.
