2008-05-20Driver core: add device_create_vargs and device_create_drvdataGreg Kroah-Hartman
We want to have the drvdata field set properly when creating the device as sysfs callbacks can assume it is present and it can race the later setting of this field. So, create two new functions, deviec_create_vargs() and device_create_drvdata() that take this new field. device_create_drvdata() will go away in 2.6.27 as the drvdata field will just be moved to the device_create() call as it should be.

2008-05-14sysfs: remove error messages for -EEXIST caseStephen Hemminger
It is possible that the entry in sysfs already exists, one case of this is when a network device is renamed to bonding_masters. Anyway, in this case the proper error path is for device_rename to return an error code, not to generate bogus backtrace and errors. Also, to avoid possible races, the create link should be done before the remove link. This makes a device rename atomic operation like other renames.

2008-04-19PM: Remove destroy_suspended_device()Rafael J. Wysocki
After 2.6.24 there was a plan to make the PM core acquire all device semaphores during a suspend/hibernation to protect itself from concurrent operations involving device objects. That proved to be too heavy-handed and we found a better way to achieve the goal, but before it happened, we had introduced the functions device_pm_schedule_removal() and destroy_suspended_device() to allow drivers to "safely" destroy a suspended device and we had adapted some drivers to use them. Now that these functions are no longer necessary, it seems reasonable to remove them and modify their users to use the normal device unregistration instead. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2008-04-19PM: Handle device registrations during suspend/resumeRafael J. Wysocki
Modify the PM core to protect its data structures, specifically the dpm_active list, from being corrupted if a child of the currently suspending device is registered concurrently with its ->suspend() callback. In that case, since the new device (the child) is added to dpm_active after its parent, the PM core will attempt to suspend it after the parent, which is wrong. Introduce a new member of struct dev_pm_info, called 'sleeping', and use it to check if the parent of the device being added to dpm_active has been suspended, in which case the device registration fails. Also, use 'sleeping' for checking if the ordering of devices on dpm_active is correct. Introduce variable 'all_sleeping' that will be set to 'true' once all devices have been suspended and make new device registrations fail until 'all_sleeping' is reset to 'false', in order to avoid having unsuspended devices around while the system is going into a sleep state. Remove pm_sleep_rwsem which is not necessary any more. Special thanks to Alan Stern for discussions and suggestions that lead to the creation of this patch. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2008-01-24Kobject: auto-cleanup on final unrefKay Sievers
We save the current state in the object itself, so we can do proper cleanup when the last reference is dropped. If the initial reference is dropped, the object will be removed from sysfs if needed, if an "add" event was sent, "remove" will be send, and the allocated resources are released.

2007-07-18Driver core: accept all valid action-strings in uevent-triggerKay Sievers
This allows the uevent file to handle any type of uevent action to be triggered by userspace instead of just the "add" uevent. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2007-07-11driver-core: make devt_attr and uevent_attr staticTejun Heo
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. Now that sysfs implements immediate disconnect and owner field removed from struct attribute, there is no reason to do this. Remove these attributes from [class_]device and use static attribute structures instead. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
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. For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the following message. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/510293 (tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to merge things properly.)
