2006-03-20[PATCH] kobject_add_dirJun'ichi Nomura
Adding kobject_add_dir() function which creates a subdirectory for a given kobject. Signed-off-by: Jun'ichi Nomura <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-03-20[PATCH] Kobject: provide better warning messages when people do stupid thingsGreg Kroah-Hartman
Now that kobject_add() is used more than kobject_register() the kernel wasn't always letting people know that they were doing something wrong. This change fixes this. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-02-06[PATCH] kobject: don't oops on null kobject.nameChuck Ebbert
kobject_get_path() will oops if one of the component names is NULL. Fix that by returning NULL instead of oopsing. Signed-off-by: Chuck Ebbert <76306.1226@compuserve.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-02-06[PATCH] kobject_add() must have a valid name in order to succeed.Greg Kroah-Hartman
So we might as well check to verify this, and let the user know that something is wrong if they didn't do it correctly, instead of oopsing later on in kobject_get_name() or somewhere else. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-01-04[PATCH] driver core: replace "hotplug" by "uevent"Kay Sievers
Leave the overloaded "hotplug" word to susbsystems which are handling real devices. The driver core does not "plug" anything, it just exports the state to userspace and generates events. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2005-10-30[PATCH] fix missing includesTim Schmielau
I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.

2005-06-20[PATCH] Make kobject's name be const char *Dmitry Torokhov
kobject: make kobject's name const char * since users should not attempt to change it (except by calling kobject_rename). Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2005-05-01[PATCH] DocBook: fix some descriptionsMartin Waitz
Some KernelDoc descriptions are updated to match the current code. No code changes. Signed-off-by: Martin Waitz <tali@admingilde.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-04-18[PATCH] kobject/hotplug split - kobject add/removekay.sievers@vrfy.org
kobject_add() and kobject_del() don't emit hotplug events anymore. The user should do it itself if it has finished populating the device directory. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
