[PATCH 5/8] kernfs: let objects opt-in to propagating from the initial namespace

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The initial namespace is special in many ways. One feature it always has
had is that it propagates all its devices into all non-initial
namespaces. This is e.g. true for all device classes under /sys/class/
except the net_class. Even though none of the propagated files can be
used there are still a lot of read-only values that are accessed or read
by tools running in non-initial namespaces. To not regress such
workloads we introduce the ability to tell kernfs to continue
propagating devices from the initial namespace even when the kernfs_node
is tagged with a non-initial namespace. Note that this is a purely
opt-in feature, i.e. if there were a new device class that wanted to
make use of this new infrastructure and did not want to propagate any
devices into non-initial namespaces it could simply not implement the
relevant callback.
When a new directory in sysfs is created sysfs now can simply check
whether the relevant device wants to propagate objects from the initial
namespace or not.
