kernfs has historically used const void * to pass around namespace tags
used for directory-level namespace filtering. The only current user of
this is sysfs network namespace tagging where struct net pointers are
cast to void *.
Replace all const void * namespace parameters with const struct
ns_common * throughout the kernfs, sysfs, and kobject namespace layers.
This includes the kobj_ns_type_operations callbacks, kobject_namespace(),
and all sysfs/kernfs APIs that accept or return namespace tags.
Passing struct ns_common is needed because various codepaths require
access to the underlying namespace. A struct ns_common can always be
converted back to the concrete namespace type (e.g., struct net) via
container_of() or to_ns_common() in the reverse direction.
This is a preparatory change for switching to ns_id-based directory
iteration to prevent a KASLR pointer leak through the current use of
raw namespace pointers as hash seeds and comparison keys.

kernfs_rename_lock is used to obtain stable kernfs_node::{name|parent}
pointer. This is a preparation to access kernfs_node::parent under RCU
and ensure that the pointer remains stable under the RCU lifetime
guarantees.
For a complete path, as it is done in kernfs_path_from_node(), the
kernfs_rename_lock is still required in order to obtain a stable parent
relationship while computing the relevant node depth. This must not
change while the nodes are inspected in order to build the path.
If the kernfs user never moves the nodes (changes the parent) then the
kernfs_rename_lock is not required and the RCU guarantees are
sufficient. This "restriction" can be set with
KERNFS_ROOT_INVARIANT_PARENT. Otherwise the lock is required.
Rename kernfs_node::parent to kernfs_node::__parent to denote the RCU
access and use RCU accessor while accessing the node.
Make cgroup use KERNFS_ROOT_INVARIANT_PARENT since the parent here can
not change.

To make it possible to put struct bin_attribute into read-only memory,
the sysfs core has to stop passing mutable pointers to the read() and
write() callbacks.
As there are numerous implementors of these callbacks throughout the
tree it's not possible to change all of them at once.
To enable a step-by-step transition, add new variants of the read() and
write() callbacks which differ only in the constness of the struct
bin_attribute argument.
As most binary attributes are defined through macros, extend these
macros to transparently handle both variants of callbacks to minimize
the churn during the transition.
As soon as all handlers are switch to the const variant, the non-const
one can be removed together with the transition machinery.

When drivers expose a bin_attribute in sysfs which is backed by a buffer
in memory, a common pattern is to set the @private and @size members in
struct bin_attribute to the buffer's location and size.
The ->read() callback then merely consists of a single memcpy() call.
It's not even necessary to perform bounds checks as these are already
handled by sysfs_kf_bin_read().
However each driver is so far providing its own ->read() implementation.
The pattern is sufficiently frequent to merit a public helper, so add
sysfs_bin_attr_simple_read() as well as BIN_ATTR_SIMPLE_RO() and
BIN_ATTR_SIMPLE_ADMIN_RO() macros to ease declaration of such
bin_attributes and reduce LoC and .text section size.

The sysfs_break_active_protection() routine has an obvious reference
leak in its error path. If the call to kernfs_find_and_get() fails then
kn will be NULL, so the companion sysfs_unbreak_active_protection()
routine won't get called (and would only cause an access violation by
trying to dereference kn->parent if it was called). As a result, the
reference to kobj acquired at the start of the function will never be
released.
Fix the leak by adding an explicit kobject_put() call when kn is NULL.

As of now, seeking in sysfs files is handled by generic_file_llseek().
There are situations where one may want to customize seeking logic:
- Many sysfs entries are fixed files while generic_file_llseek() accepts
past-the-end positions. Not only being useless by itself, this
also means a bug in userspace code will trigger not at lseek(), but at
some later point making debugging harder.
- generic_file_llseek() relies on f_mapping->host to get the file size
which might not be correct for all sysfs entries.
See commit 636b21b501 ("PCI: Revoke mappings like devmem") as an example.
Implement llseek method to override this behavior at sysfs attribute
level. The method is optional, and if it is absent,
generic_file_llseek() is called to preserve backwards compatibility.

Now that all in-kernel users of default_attrs for the kobj_type are gone
and converted to properly use the default_groups pointer instead, it can
be safely removed.
There is one standard way to create sysfs files in a kobj_type, and not
two like before, causing confusion as to which should be used.

There are two users of iomem_get_mapping(), the struct file and struct
bin_attribute. The former has a member called "f_mapping" and the
latter has a member called "mapping", and both are poniters to struct
address_space.
Rename struct bin_attribute member to "f_mapping" to keep both meaning
and the usage consistent with other users of iomem_get_mapping().

Defer invocation of the iomem_get_mapping() to the sysfs open callback
so that it can be executed as needed when the binary sysfs object has
been accessed.
To do that, convert the "mapping" member of the struct bin_attribute
from a pointer to the struct address_space into a function pointer with
a signature that requires the same return type, and then updates the
sysfs_kf_bin_open() to invoke provided function should the function
pointer be valid.
Also, convert every invocation of iomem_get_mapping() into a function
pointer assignment, therefore allowing for the iomem_get_mapping()
invocation to be deferred to when the sysfs open callback runs.
Thus, this change removes the need for the fs_initcalls to complete
before any other sub-system that uses the iomem_get_mapping() would be
able to invoke it safely without leading to a failure and an Oops
related to an invalid iomem_get_mapping() access.

Output defects can exist in sysfs content using sprintf and snprintf.
sprintf does not know the PAGE_SIZE maximum of the temporary buffer
used for outputting sysfs content and it's possible to overrun the
PAGE_SIZE buffer length.
Add a generic sysfs_emit function that knows that the size of the
temporary buffer and ensures that no overrun is done.
Add a generic sysfs_emit_at function that can be used in multiple

Pull rdma updates from Jason Gunthorpe:
"A more active cycle than most of the recent past, with a few large,
long discussed works this time.
The RNBD block driver has been posted for nearly two years now, and
flowing through RDMA due to it also introducing a new ULP.
The removal of FMR has been a recurring discussion theme for a long
time.
And the usual smattering of features and bug fixes.
Summary:
- Various small driver bugs fixes in rxe, mlx5, hfi1, and efa
- Continuing driver cleanups in bnxt_re, hns
- Big cleanup of mlx5 QP creation flows
- More consistent use of src port and flow label when LAG is used and
a mlx5 implementation
- Additional set of cleanups for IB CM
- 'RNBD' network block driver and target. This is a network block
RDMA device specific to ionos's cloud environment. It brings strong
multipath and resiliency capabilities.
- Accelerated IPoIB for HFI1
- QP/WQ/SRQ ioctl migration for uverbs, and support for multiple
async fds
- Support for exchanging the new IBTA defiend ECE data during RDMA CM
exchanges
- Removal of the very old and insecure FMR interface from all ULPs
and drivers. FRWR should be preferred for at least a decade now"

Add a helper to change the owner of sysfs objects.
This function will be used to correctly account for kobject ownership
changes, e.g. when moving network devices between network namespaces.
This mirrors how a kobject is added through driver core which in its guts is
done via kobject_add_internal() which in summary creates the main directory via
create_dir(), populates that directory with the groups associated with the
ktype of the kobject (if any) and populates the directory with the basic
attributes associated with the ktype of the kobject (if any). These are the
basic steps that are associated with adding a kobject in sysfs.
Any additional properties are added by the specific subsystem itself (not by
driver core) after it has registered the device. So for the example of network
devices, a network device will e.g. register a queue subdirectory under the
basic sysfs directory for the network device and than further subdirectories
within that queues subdirectory. But that is all specific to network devices
and they call the corresponding sysfs functions to do that directly when they
create those queue objects. So anything that a subsystem adds outside of what
driver core does must also be changed by it (That's already true for removal of
files it created outside of driver core.) and it's the same for ownership
changes.
