The name attribute shows the name of the associated platform profile
handler.

I still have a bad feeling about the locking inside the class attributes...

Can we assume that no sysfs accesses occur after unregistering the class device?

Even if this is not the case then the locking fails to protect the platform_profile_handler here.
If the device is unregistered right after dev_get_drvdata() was called, then we would sill operate
on possibly stale data once we take the profile_lock.

Does someone have any clue how sysfs attributes act during removal?

Thanks,
Armin Wolf

I think i found the answer to my questions inside this patch series:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/1390951311-15325-1-git-send-email-tj@kernel.org

It says that:

	kernfs / sysfs implement the "sever" semantic for userland accesses.
	When a node is removed, no further userland operations are allowed and
	the in-flight ones are drained before removal is finished.  This makes
	policing post-mortem userland accesses trivial for its users.

In this case taking the profile_lock when reading/writing class attributes seems to be unnecessary.
Please remove the unnecessary locking inside the class attributes.

Armin Wolf

Before I respin a v7, let's make sure we're agreed on which things need 
locking and which don't.

Functions that check if a lock is held:
_store_class_profile()
_notify_class_profile()
get_class_profile()
_aggregate_choices()

Functions that take a lock:
name_show()
choices_show()
profile_show()
profile_store()
platform_profile_choices_show()
platform_profile_show()
platform_profile_store()
platform_profile_cycle()
platform_profile_register()
platform_profile_remove()

Functions that don't take or check for a lock (these are intermediary 
and things they call check for one):
_aggregate_profiles()
_store_and_notify()

Are you suggesting that basically these 4 can drop taking the lock?
name_show()
choices_show()
profile_show()
profile_store()

I think the show() ones I can get behind, but I'm worried about 
profile_store(), particularly as it pertains to the other callers of 
_store_class_profile() because it's incongruent how the other callers 
would use it then.

Can we perhaps just drop it for the 3 class attribute show() ones?

LMK.

I think so, i also remembered that profile_store() needs to keep taking the lock in case platform_profile_cycle() is currently
running.

Can you also remove the second call to dev_get_drvdata() in _store_class_profile()?

Actually considering this, we need to keep it on profile_show() too then 
for the exact same reason.

I will drop it for choices and name though.
