2009-03-31proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::ownerAlexey Dobriyan
Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting in module refcount underflow. We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops and ->data. But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment) and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give some thoughts. ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for protection. rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm. And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular. We definitely don't want such modular code. Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller. So, let's nuke it. Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12454 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>
2008-04-29drivers: use non-racy method for proc entries creation (2)Denis V. Lunev
Use proc_create()/proc_create_data() to make sure that ->proc_fops and ->data be setup before gluing PDE to main tree. Signed-off-by: Denis V.

Finish converting the RTC framework so it no longer uses class_device.

2007-05-08rtc: simplified /proc/driver/rtc handlingDavid Brownell
This simplifies the RTC procfs support by removing the class_interface that hooks it into the rtc core. If it's configured, then sysfs support is now part of the RTC core, and is never a separate module. It also removes the class_interface hook, now that its last remaining user is gone. (That API is usable only with a "struct class_device".) It's another step towards being able to remove "struct class_device".

2007-05-08rtc: rtc interfaces don't use class_deviceDavid Brownell
This patch removes class_device from the programming interface that the RTC framework exposes to the rest of the kernel. Now an rtc_device is passed, which is more type-safe and streamlines all the relevant code.

2007-02-12[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 5Arjan van de Ven
Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources.

2006-12-13[PATCH] rtc framewok: rtc_wkalrm.enabled reporting updatesDavid Brownell
Fix a glitch in the procfs dumping of whether the alarm IRQ is enabled: use the traditional name (from drivers/char/rtc.c and many other places) of "alarm_IRQ", not "alrm_wakeup" (which didn't even match the efirtc code, which originated that reporting API). Also, update a few of the RTC drivers to stop providing that duplicate status, and/or to expose it properly when reporting the alarm state. We really don't want every RTC driver doing their own thing here...

2006-10-01[PATCH] constify rtc_class_ops: update driversDavid Brownell
Update RTC framework so that drivers can constify their method tables, moving them from ".data" to ".rodata". Then update the drivers.

2006-10-01[PATCH] RTC class: error checksDavid Brownell
The rtc_is_valid_tm() routine needs to treat some of the fields it checks as unsigned, to prevent wrongly accepting invalid rtc_time structs; this is the same approach used elsewhere in the RTC code for such tests. Conversely, rtc_proc_show() is missing one invalid-day-of-month test that rtc_is_valid_tm() makes: there is no day zero.

2006-10-01[PATCH] RTC class uses subsys_initDavid Brownell
This makes RTC core components use "subsys_init" instead of "module_init", as appropriate for subsystem infrastructure. This is mostly useful for statically linking drivers in other parts of the tree that may provide an RTC interface as a secondary functionality (e.g. part of a multifunction chip); they won't need to worry so much about drivers/Makefile link order.

2006-04-11[PATCH] RTC subsystem: fix proc outputAlessandro Zummo
Move the "24hr: yes" proc output from drivers to rtc proc code. This is required because the time value in the proc output is always in 24hr mode regardless of the driver.

2006-03-27[PATCH] RTC subsystem: proc interfaceAlessandro Zummo
Add the proc interface to the RTC subsystem. The first RTC driver which registers with the class will be accessible by /proc/driver/rtc . This is required for compatibility with the standard RTC driver and to avoid breaking any user space application which may erroneusly rely on this.
