The class symlinks in sysfs don't properly handle changing device names.
To demonstrate, rename your network device from eth0 to eth1. Your
pci (or usb, or whatever) device will still have a 'net:eth0' link,
except now it points to /sys/class/net/eth1.
The attached patch makes sure the class symlink name changes when
the class device name changes. It isn't 100% correct, it should be
using sysfs_rename_link. Unfortunately, sysfs_rename_link doesn't exist.

bus_rescan_devices_helper() does not hold the dev->sem when it checks for
!dev->driver(). device_attach() holds the sem, but calls again
device_bind_driver() even when dev->driver is set.
What happens is that a first device_attach() call (module insertion time)
is on the way binding the device to a driver. Another thread calls
bus_rescan_devices(). Now when bus_rescan_devices_helper() checks for
dev->driver it is still NULL 'cos the the prior device_attach() is not yet
finished. But as soon as the first one releases the dev->sem the second
device_attach() tries to rebind the already bound device again.
device_bind_driver() does this blindly which leads to a corrupt
driver->klist_devices list (the device links itself, the head points to the
device). Later a call to device_release_driver() sets dev->driver to NULL
and breaks the link it has to itself on knode_driver. Rmmoding the driver
later calls driver_detach() which leads to an endless loop 'cos the list
head in klist_devices still points to the device. And since dev->driver is
NULL it's stuck with the same device forever. Boom. And rmmod hangs.
Very easy to reproduce with new-style pcmcia and a 16bit card. Just loop
modprobe <pcmcia-modules> ;cardctl eject; rmmod <card driver, pcmcia
modules>.
Easiest fix is to check if the device is already bound to a driver in
device_bind_driver(). This avoids the double binding.

With the previous commit that introduces the klist enhancements, we can
now re-do 2b7d6a8cb9718fc1d9e826201b64909c44a915f4 again.
|

The problem is that klists claim to provide semantics for safe traversal of
lists which are being modified. The failure case is when traversal of a
list causes element removal (a fairly common case). The issue is that
although the list node is refcounted, if it is embedded in an object (which
is universally the case), then the object will be freed regardless of the
klist refcount leading to slab corruption because the klist iterator refers
to the prior element to get the next.
The solution is to make the klist take and release references to the
embedding object meaning that the embedding object won't be released until
the list relinquishes the reference to it.
(akpm: fast-track this because it's needed for the 2.6.13 scsi merge)

One of the changes in the attribute_container code in the scsi-misc tree
was to add a lock to protect the list of devices per container. This,
unfortunately, leads to potential scheduling while atomic problems if
there's a sleep in the function called by a trigger.
The correct solution is to use the kernel klist infrastructure instead
which allows lockless traversal of a list.

I recently tried to construct a totally generic transport class and
found there were certain features missing from the current abstract
transport class. Most notable is that you have to hang the data on the
class_device but most of the API is framed in terms of the generic
device, not the class_device.
These changes are two fold
- Provide the class_device to all of the setup and configure APIs
- Provide and extra API to take the device and the attribute class and
return the corresponding class_device

This adds a single file, "bind", to the sysfs directory of every driver
registered with the driver core. To bind a device to a driver, write
the bus id of the device you wish to bind to that specific driver to the
"bind" file (remember to not add a trailing \n). If that bus id matches
a device on that bus, and it does not currently have a driver bound to
it, the probe sequence will be initiated with that driver and device.
Note, this requires that the driver itself be willing and able to accept
that device (usually through a device id type table). This patch does
not make it possible to override the driver's id table.

This patch modifies the way pagesets in struct zone are managed.
Each zone has a per-cpu array of pagesets. So any particular CPU has some
memory in each zone structure which belongs to itself. Even if that CPU is
not local to that zone.
So the patch relocates the pagesets for each cpu to the node that is nearest
to the cpu instead of allocating the pagesets in the (possibly remote) target
zone. This means that the operations to manage pages on remote zone can be
done with information available locally.
We play a macro trick so that non-NUMA pmachines avoid the additional
pointer chase on the page allocator fastpath.

This patch is intended for your "driver" tree. It fixes several subtle
races in driver_detach() and device_release_driver() in the driver-model
core.
The major change is to use klist_remove() rather than klist_del() when
taking a device off its driver's list. There's no other way to guarantee
that the list pointers will be updated before some other driver binds to
the device. For this to work driver_detach() can't use a klist iterator,
so the loop over the devices must be written out in full. In addition the
patch protects against the possibility that, when a driver and a device
are unregistered at the same time, one may be unloaded from memory before
the other is finished using it.

There's no check to see if the device is already bound to a driver, which
could do bad things. The first thing to go wrong is that it will try to match
a driver with a device already bound to one. In some cases (it appears with
USB with drivers/usb/core/usb.c::usb_match_id()), some drivers will match a
device based on the class type, so it would be common (especially for HID
devices) to match a device that is already bound.
The fun comes when ->probe() is called, it fails, then
driver_probe_device() does this:
dev->driver = NULL;
Later on, that pointer could be be dereferenced without checking and cause
hell to break loose.
This problem could be nasty. It's very hardware dependent, since some
devices could have a different set of matching qualifiers than others.
Now, I don't quite see exactly where/how you were getting that crash.
You're dereferencing bad memory, but I'm not sure which pointer was bad
and where it came from, but it could have come from a couple of different
places.
The patch below will hopefully fix it all up for you. It's against
2.6.12-rc2-mm1, and does the following:
- Move logic to driver_probe_device() and comments uncommon returns:
1 - If device is bound
0 - If device not bound, and no error
error - If there was an error.
- Move locking to caller of that function, since we want to lock a
device for the entire time we're trying to bind it to a driver (to
prevent against a driver being loaded at the same time).
- Update __device_attach() and __driver_attach() to do that locking.
- Check if device is already bound in __driver_attach()
- Update the converse device_release_driver() so it locks the device
around all of the operations.
- Mark driver_probe_device() as static and remove export. It's an
internal function, it should stay that way, and there are no other
callers. If there is ever a need to export it, we can audit it as
necessary.
