[PATCH v4 00/24] PCI: Convert all dynamic sysfs attributes to static

["Krzysztof Wilczyński" <kwilczynski@kernel.org>]

Hello,

This series converts every dynamically allocated PCI sysfs attribute to
a static const definition.  After the full series, pci_sysfs_init() and
sysfs_initialized are gone, and every sysfs file is created by the
driver model at device_add() time.

Currently, the PCI resource files (resourceN, resourceN_wc) and the
legacy bus files (legacy_io, legacy_mem) are created dynamically
from two unsynchronised paths:

Path A: late_initcall

  pci_sysfs_init                        (late_initcall)
    sysfs_initialized = 1
    for_each_pci_dev
      pci_create_sysfs_dev_files
        sysfs_create_bin_file           (resourceN, resourceN_wc)
    pci_find_next_bus
      pci_create_legacy_files
        sysfs_create_bin_file           (legacy_io, legacy_mem)

Path B: device registration / hotplug

  pci_bus_add_devices
    pci_bus_add_device
      pci_create_sysfs_dev_files
        if (!sysfs_initialized) return  <- only guard
        sysfs_create_bin_file           (resourceN, resourceN_wc)

On most ACPI systems this does not race because PCI enumeration
completes at subsys_initcall time, before pci_sysfs_init() runs:

  subsys_initcall (level 4):
    acpi_pci_root_add
      pci_bus_add_device
        pci_create_sysfs_dev_files
          if (!sysfs_initialized)          <- not yet set
            return -EACCES

  late_initcall (level 7):
    pci_sysfs_init
      sysfs_initialized = 1
      for_each_pci_dev
        pci_create_sysfs_dev_files         <- creates the files, no race

On Devicetree platforms the host controller is a platform driver that
probes via the driver model, often on a workqueue, and overlaps with the
late_initcall:

  CPU 0 (late_initcall)                CPU 1 (driver probe)
  ---------------------------          ----------------------------
  pci_sysfs_init()
    sysfs_initialized = 1
    for_each_pci_dev(pdev)             pci_bus_add_device(pdev)
      pci_create_sysfs_dev_files()       pci_create_sysfs_dev_files()
        sysfs_create_bin_file()            sysfs_create_bin_file()
                                             -> "duplicate filename"

The same happens on ACPI when probing is asynchronous (hv_pci on
Azure, RISC-V with ACPI).

The duplicate causes sysfs_create_bin_file() to fail with -EEXIST.
pci_create_resource_files() then calls pci_remove_resource_files() in
its error unwind, tearing down files the other thread created and
still references through pdev->res_attr[].  This has caused kernel
panics on i.MX6 and boot failures on other platforms.

Several different fixes have been proposed over the years: reordering
the sysfs_initialized assignment, adding locks, checking
pci_dev_is_added(), setting pdev->res_attr[] to NULL after kfree
(which only prevents a double-free on the teardown path, not the
error unwind removing the other thread's files).  None would address the
root cause.

This has been reported a few times:

With static attributes the driver model creates sysfs entries once per
device at device_add() time, under the device lock, eliminating the
late_initcall iteration and the race along with it.

Changes in v4:
  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20260410055040.39233-1-kwilczynski@kernel.org/

   - Added new Reviewed-by tags.
   - Added pci_resource_is_io() and pci_resource_is_mem() helpers
     for resource type checks, replacing the open-coded bitwise
     flag tests in pci_mmap_resource(), pci_resource_io(), and
     Alpha's pci_mmap_resource(), as per Ilpo Järvinen's
     suggestion.
   - Split the __pci_mmap_fits() cleanup into two patches.  An
     overflow fix for zero-length BARs, which now includes a
     Fixes: tag referencing the original Alpha PCI sysfs commit,
     and the WARN macro removal is a separate cleanup as per Ilpo
     Järvinen's suggestion.
   - Added a missing Fixes: tag to the Alpha lockdown check,
     referencing the commit that added the check to the generic
     path but missed Alpha's implementation.
   - Added PCI_LEGACY_IO_SIZE and PCI_LEGACY_MEM_SIZE macros to
     replace the raw literals used for legacy address space sizes.
     These are used in both Alpha's pci_mmap_legacy_page_range()
     and the static legacy attribute definitions, as per Ilpo
     Järvinen's suggestion.
   - Replaced sysfs_update_groups() in the BAR resize path with
     sysfs_remove_groups() before the resize and sysfs_create_groups()
     after, restoring the original teardown before BAR resize
     ordering.  This was reported by Sashiko, see:
     https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260410055040.39233-1-kwilczynski%40kernel.org?part=7
   - Defined pci_dev_resource_attr_groups as a NULL macro when
     HAVE_PCI_MMAP and ARCH_GENERIC_PCI_MMAP_RESOURCE are both
     absent, so the resize path compiles unconditionally without
     #ifdef guards in the function body.  This was reported by
     Sashiko, see:
     https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260410055040.39233-1-kwilczynski%40kernel.org?part=7
   - Moved the pci_legacy_has_sparse() prototype into the patch
     that introduces the function, alongside the existing
     pci_adjust_legacy_attr() declaration, to fix a bisection
     issue where Alpha would warn on -Wmissing-prototypes.
     This was reported by Sashiko, see:
     https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260410055040.39233-1-kwilczynski%40kernel.org?part=18

Changes in v3:
  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20210910202623.2293708-1-kw@linux.com/

  - Updated for modern kernel releases and expanded scope.  The
    v2 only covered the generic resource files.  This version
    also converts Alpha's sparse/dense resource files and the
    legacy bus attributes, removing pci_sysfs_init() entirely.
  - Split the single macro definition into three distinct ones
    (per I/O, UC, and WC), to make sure that each carries only
    the callbacks its resource type needs.
  - Updated to use the new .bin_size callback, as the attributes
    are const, to replace using a->size directly, which was not
    ideal.  This required changes to pci_llseek_resource(), to
    ensure that it would work for device and bus-level attributes.
  - Updated the __resource_resize_store() to include CAP_SYS_ADMIN
    capabilities check.
  - Added the security_locked_down() check to Alpha's
    pci_mmap_resource(), to align with other architectures.

Changes in v2:
  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20210825212255.878043-1-kw@linux.com/

  - Refactored code so that the macros, helpers and internal
    functions can be used to correctly leverage the read(),
    write() and mmap() callbacks rather than to use the
    .is_bin_visible() callback to set up sysfs objects
    internals as this is not supported.
  - Refactored some if-statements to check for a resource
    flag first, and then call either arch_can_pci_mmap_io()
    or arch_can_pci_mmap_wc(), plus store result of testing
    for IORESOURCE_MEM and IORESOURCE_PREFETCH flags into
    a boolean variable, as per Bjorn Helgaas' suggestion.
  - Renamed pci_read_resource_io() and pci_write_resource_io()
    callbacks so that these are not specifically tied to I/O
    BARs read() and write() operations also as per Bjorn
    Helgaas' suggestion.
  - Updated style for code handling bitwise operations to
    match the style that is preferred as per Bjorn Helgaas'
    suggestion.
  - Updated commit messages adding more details about the
    implementation as requested by Bjorn Helgaas.
