| |
027a485d12e0 ("sysfs: use a separate locking class for open files depending on mmap") assigned different lockdep key to sysfs_open_file->mutex depending on whether the file implements mmap or not in an attempt to avoid spurious lockdep warning caused by merging of regular and bin file paths.
While this restored some of the original behavior of using different locks (at least lockdep is concerned) for the different clases of files. The restoration wasn't full because now the lockdep key assignment depends on whether the file has mmap or not instead of whether it's a regular file or not.
This means that bin files which don't implement mmap will get assigned the same lockdep class as regular files. This is problematic because file_operations for bin files still implements the mmap file operation and checking whether the sysfs file actually implements mmap happens in the file operation after grabbing @sysfs_open_file->mutex. We still end up adding locking dependency from mmap locking to sysfs_open_file->mutex to the regular file mutex which triggers spurious circular locking warning.
This can be fixed by either giving sysfs_open_file->mutex different lockdep keys depending on whether the file is regular or bin instead of whether mmap exists or not, or avoiding grabbing sysfs_open_file->mutex from sysfs_bin_mmap() if mmap is not actually implemented. While the former is simpler for driver-core-linus, driver-core-next already has SYSFS_FLAG_HAS_MMAP in place to implement the latter and doesn't have inherent distinction between regular and bin files. This patch implements the latter so that the fix is more conducive to driver-core-next.
Because anything beyond sysfs_open_file->sd can't be dereferenced without locking the open file, cache whether mmap is implemented or not in sysfs_open_file->sd->s_flags and update sysfs_bin_mmap() test the flag and bail without grabbing the mutex if not implemented.
