[PATCH rdma-next v1 00/15] Reorganize sysfs file creation for struct ib_devices

[Leon Romanovsky]

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@xxxxxxxxxx>

Chagelog:
v1:
 * Added two new patches to the series
     RDMA/core: Allow port_groups to be used with namespaces
     RDMA: Remove rdma_set_device_sysfs_group()
 * Fixed missing ops definition in device.c
 * Passed proper internal validation and review
 * changed EXPORT_SYMBOL to be EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for the ib_port_sysfs_create_groups
 * qib was converted to use .is_visible() callback together with static
   attribute_group declaration.
v0: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-rdma/0-v1-34c90fa45f1c+3c7b0-port_sysfs_jgg@xxxxxxxxxx/

>From Jason,

IB has a complex sysfs with a deep nesting of attributes. Nathan and Kees
recently noticed this was not even slightly sane with how it was handling
attributes and a deeper inspection shows the whole thing is a pretty
"ick" coding style.

Further review shows the ick extends outward from the ib_port sysfs and
basically everything is pretty crazy.

Simplify all of it:

 - Organize the ib_port and gid_attr's kobj's to have clear setup/destroy
   function pairings that work only on their own kobjs.

 - All memory allocated in service of a kobject's attributes is freed as
   part of the kobj release function. Thus all the error handling defers
   the memory frees to a put.

 - Build up lists of groups for every kobject and add the entire group
   list as a one-shot operation as the last thing in setup function.

 - Remove essentially all the error cleanup. The final kobject_put() will
   always free any memory allocated or do an internal kobject_del() if
   required. The new ordering eliminates all the other cleanup cases.

 - Make all attributes use proper typing for the kobj they are attached
   to. Split device and port hw_stats handling.

 - Create a ib_port_attribute type and change hfi1, qib and the CM code to
   work with attribute lists of ib_port_attribute type instead of building
   their own kobject madness

Thanks
