2008-01-24kobject: get rid of kobject_kset_add_dirGreg Kroah-Hartman

2008-01-24kobject: remove struct kobj_type from struct ksetGreg Kroah-Hartman
We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset. We should set this explicitly every time for each kset. This change is needed so that we can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has. This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay Sievers.

2008-01-24PM: Acquire device locks on suspendRafael J. Wysocki
This patch reorganizes the way suspend and resume notifications are sent to drivers. The major changes are that now the PM core acquires every device semaphore before calling the methods, and calls to device_add() during suspends will fail, while calls to device_del() during suspends will block. It also provides a way to safely remove a suspended device with the help of the PM core, by using the device_pm_schedule_removal() callback introduced specifically for this purpose, and updates two drivers (msr and cpuid) that need to use it.

2007-11-28create /sys/.../power when CONFIG_PM is setDaniel Drake
The CONFIG_SUSPEND changes in 2.6.23 caused a regression under certain configuration conditions (SUSPEND=n, USB_AUTOSUSPEND=y) where all USB device attributes in sysfs (idVendor, idProduct, ...) silently disappeared, causing udev breakage and more. The cause of this is that the /sys/.../power subdirectory is now only created when CONFIG_PM_SLEEP is set, however, it should be created whenever CONFIG_PM is set to handle the above situation. The following patch fixes the regression. Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> Acked-by: Rafael J.

This should fix the sysfs warnings that renaming network devices is causing to show up with CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y The code just shouldn't run if class devices are real directories, it's an update for the symlink in the class directory. Nobody noticed that as long as the creation of sysfs files silently failed, and we both missed it before the merge, because we don't run SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y.

2007-09-26Add explicit zeroing to "envp" array in device 'show' methodLinus Torvalds
As Stephen Hemminger says, this is a "belt and suspenders" patch that zeroes the envp array at allocation time, even though all the users should NULL-terminate it anyway (and we've hopefully fixed everybody that doesn't do that).

devt_attr and uevent_attr are either allocated dynamically with or embedded in device and class_device as they needed their owner field set to the module implementing the driver.

2007-07-11sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->ownerTejun Heo
sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper, so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to accessing removed modules. This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the backing module from being unloaded.

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>

2007-03-15[PATCH] sysfs and driver core: add callback helper, used by SCSI and S390Alan Stern
This patch (as868) adds a helper routine for device drivers that need to set up a callback to perform some action in a different process's context. This is intended for use by attribute methods that want to unregister themselves or their parent device. Attribute method calls are mutually exclusive with unregistration, so such actions cannot be taken directly. Two attribute methods are converted to use the new helper routine: one for SCSI device deletion and one for System/390 ccwgroup devices.

2007-02-09devres: device resource managementTejun Heo
Implement device resource management, in short, devres. A device driver can allocate arbirary size of devres data which is associated with a release function. On driver detach, release function is invoked on the devres data, then, devres data is freed. devreses are typed by associated release functions. Some devreses are better represented by single instance of the type while others need multiple instances sharing the same release function. Both usages are supported. devreses can be grouped using devres group such that a device driver can easily release acquired resources halfway through initialization or selectively release resources (e.g. resources for port 1 out of 4 ports). This patch adds devres core including documentation and the following managed interfaces. * alloc/free : devm_kzalloc(), devm_kzfree() * IO region : devm_request_region(), devm_release_region() * IRQ : devm_request_irq(), devm_free_irq() * DMA : dmam_alloc_coherent(), dmam_free_coherent(), dmam_declare_coherent_memory(), dmam_pool_create(), dmam_pool_destroy() * PCI : pcim_enable_device(), pcim_pin_device(), pci_is_managed() * iomap : devm_ioport_map(), devm_ioport_unmap(), devm_ioremap(), devm_ioremap_nocache(), devm_iounmap(), pcim_iomap_table(), pcim_iomap(), pcim_iounmap() Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2006-12-07[PATCH] add numa node information to struct deviceChristoph Hellwig
For node-aware skb allocations we need information about the node in struct net_device or struct device. Davem suggested to put it into struct device which this patch does. In particular: - struct device gets a new int numa_node member if CONFIG_NUMA is set - there are two new helpers, dev_to_node and set_dev_node to transparently deal with the non-numa case - for pci devices the node-info is set to the value we get from pcibus_to_node. Note that for some architectures pcibus_to_node doesn't work yet at the time we call it currently. This is harmless and will just mean skb allocations aren't node-local on this architectures until the implementation of pcibus_to_node on these architectures have been updated (There are patches for x86 and x86_64 floating around) [akpm@osdl.org: cleanup] Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: Christoph Lameter <clameter@engr.sgi.com> Cc: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
