2007-04-27USB: kill BKL in skeleton driverOliver Neukum
Iet's kill BKL where we can. This is relative to the last patch to the skeleton driver. Signed-off-by: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2007-04-27USB: fix skeleton driverOliver Neukum
compilation of the skeleton driver is currently broken. It doesn't compile. So while I am it: - fix typo - add comments to answer common questions - actually allow autosuspend in the driver struct - increase paralellism by restricting code under locks Signed-off-by: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2007-04-27pxa2xx_udc: cleanups, use platform_get_irqDavid Brownell
Make the pxa2xx_udc driver fetch its IRQ from platform resources rather than using compile-time constants, so that it works properly on IXP4xx systems not just PXA21x/25x/26x. Other updates: - Do that using platform_get_irq() - Switch to platform_driver_probe() - Handle device_add() errors - Remove "function" sysfs attribute and its potential errors - Whitespace cleanups Signed-off-by: Milan Svoboda <msvoboda@ra.rockwell.com> Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2007-04-27define platform wakeup hook, use in pci_enable_wake()David Brownell
This defines a platform hook to enable/disable a device as a wakeup event source. It's initially for use with ACPI, but more generally it could be used whenever enable_irq_wake()/disable_irq_wake() don't suffice. The hook is called -- if available -- inside pci_enable_wake(); and the semantics of that call are enhanced so that support for PCI PME# is no longer needed. It can now work for devices with "legacy PCI PM", when platform support allows it. (That support would use some board-specific signal for for the same purpose as PME#.)

2007-04-27security: prevent permission checking of file removal via sysfs_remove_group()James Morris
Prevent permission checking from being performed when the kernel wants to unconditionally remove a sysfs group, by introducing an kernel-only variant of lookup_one_len(), lookup_one_len_kern(). Additionally, as sysfs_remove_group() does not check the return value of the lookup before using it, a BUG_ON has been added to pinpoint the cause of any problems potentially caused by this (and as a form of annotation).

2007-04-27s390: cio: Delay uevents for subchannelsCornelia Huck
We often have the situation that we register a subchannel and start device recognition, only to find out that the device is not usable after all, which triggers an unregister of the subchannel. This often happens on hundreds of subchannels on a LPAR, leading to a storm of events which aren't of any use. Therefore, use uevent_suppress to delay the KOBJ_ADD uevent for a subchannel until we know that its ccw_device is to be registered.

2007-04-27Driver core: remove unneeded completion from driver release pathGreg Kroah-Hartman
The completion in the driver release path is due to ancient history in the _very_ early 2.5 days when we were not tracking the module reference count of attributes. It is not needed at all and can be removed. Note, we now have an empty release function for the driver structure. This is due to the fact that drivers are statically allocated in the system at this point in time, something which I want to change in the future. But remember, drivers are really code, which is reference counted by the module, unlike devices, which are data and _must_ be reference counted properly in order to work correctly.

Don't fail bus_attach_device() if the device cannot be bound. If dev->driver has been specified, reset it to NULL if device_bind_driver() failed and add the device as an unbound device. As a result, bus_attach_device() now cannot fail, and we can remove some checking from device_add(). Also remove an unneeded check in bus_rescan_devices_helper().

2007-04-27Driver core: udev triggered device-<>driver bindingKay Sievers
We get two per-bus sysfs files: ls-l /sys/subsystem/usb drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2007-02-16 16:42 devices drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 0 2007-02-16 14:55 drivers -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2007-02-16 16:42 drivers_autoprobe --w------- 1 root root 4096 2007-02-16 16:42 drivers_probe The flag "drivers_autoprobe" controls the behavior of the bus to bind devices by default, or just initialize the device and leave it alone. The command "drivers_probe" accepts a bus_id and the bus tries to bind a driver to this device. Systems who want to control the driver binding with udev, switch off the bus initiated probing: echo 0 > /sys/subsystem/usb/drivers_autoprobe echo 0 > /sys/subsystem/pcmcia/drivers_autoprobe ... and initiate the probing with udev rules like: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{subsystem/drivers_probe}="$kernel" ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pcmcia", ATTR{subsystem/drivers_probe}="$kernel" ... Custom driver binding can happen in earlier rules by something like: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", \ ATTRS{idVendor}=="1234", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5678" \ ATTR{subsystem/drivers/<custom-driver>/bind}="$kernel" This is intended to solve the modprobe.conf mess with "install-rules", custom bind/unbind-scripts and all the weird things people invented over the years. It should also provide the functionality "libusual" was supposed to do. With udev, one can just write a udev rule to drive all USB-disks at the third port of USB-hub by the "ub" driver, and everything else by usb-storage. One can also instruct udev to bind different wireless drivers to identical cards - just selected by the pcmcia slot-number, and whatever ... To use the mentioned rules, it needs udev version 106, to be able to write ATTR{}="$kernel" to sysfs files. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2007-04-27dev_printk and new-style class devicesJean Delvare
As the new-style class devices (as opposed to old-style struct class_device) are becoming more widely used, I noticed that the dev_printk-based functions are not working properly with these. New-style class devices have no driver nor bus, almost by definition, and as a result dev_driver_string(), which is used as the first parameter of dev_printk, resolves to an empty string. This causes entries like the following to show in my logs: i2c-2: adapter [SMBus stub driver] registered Notice the unaesthetical leading whitespace. In order to fix this problem, I suggest that we extend dev_driver_string to deal with new-style class devices: Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
