remove "struct subsystem" as it is no longer needed

2007-05-03T01:57:59+00:00

We need to work on cleaning up the relationship between kobjects, ksets and ktypes. The removal of 'struct subsystem' is the first step of this, especially as it is not really needed at all. Thanks to Kay for fixing the bugs in this patch. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver core: don't fail attaching the device if it cannot be bound

2007-04-27T17:57:29+00:00

Don't fail bus_attach_device() if the device cannot be bound. If dev->driver has been specified, reset it to NULL if device_bind_driver() failed and add the device as an unbound device. As a result, bus_attach_device() now cannot fail, and we can remove some checking from device_add(). Also remove an unneeded check in bus_rescan_devices_helper().

devres: device resource management

2007-02-09T22:39:36+00:00

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 Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik

[PATCH] Driver core: change make_class_name() to take kobjects

2006-06-21T19:40:49+00:00

This is needed for a future patch for the device code to create the proper symlinks for devices that are "class devices". Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] Driver Core: Add /sys/hypervisor when needed

2006-06-21T19:40:48+00:00

To have a home for all hypervisors, this patch creates /sys/hypervisor. A new config option SYS_HYPERVISOR is introduced, which should to be set by architecture dependent hypervisors (e.g. s390 or Xen). Acked-by: Martin Schwidefsky Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] drivers/base/: proper prototypes

2006-02-06T20:17:17+00:00

This patch contains the following changes: - move prototypes to base.h - sys.c should #include "base.h" for getting the prototype of it's global function system_bus_init() Note that hidden in this patch there's a bugfix: Caller and callee disagreed regarding the return type of sysdev_shutdown().

[PATCH] drivers/base - fix sparse warnings

2005-10-28T16:52:55+00:00

There are a number of sparse warnings from the latest sparse snapshot being generated from the drivers/base build. The main culprits are due to the initialisation functions not being declared in a header file. Also, the firmware.c file should include to get the prototype of firmware_register() and firmware_unregister(). This patch moves the init function declerations from the init.c file to the base.h, and ensures it is included in all the relevant c sources. It also adds to the included headers for firmware.c. The patch does not solve all the sparse errors generated, but reduces the count significantly. drivers/base/core.c:161:1: warning: symbol 'devices_subsys' was not declared.
