Driver core: treat unregistered bus_types as having no devices

2013-02-28T14:59:00+00:00

commit 4fa3e78be7e985ca814ce2aa0c09cbee404efcf7 upstream. A bus_type has a list of devices (klist_devices), but the list and the subsys_private structure that contains it are not initialized until the bus_type is registered with bus_register(). The panic/reboot path has fixups that look up devices in pci_bus_type. If we panic before registering pci_bus_type, the bus_type exists but the list does not, so mach_reboot_fixups() trips over a null pointer and panics again: mach_reboot_fixups pci_get_device .. bus_find_device(&pci_bus_type, ...) bus->p is NULL Joonsoo reported a problem when panicking before PCI was initialized. I think this patch should be sufficient to replace the patch he posted here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/28/75 ("[PATCH] x86, reboot: skip reboot_fixups in early boot phase") Reported-by: Joonsoo Kim Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver-core: implement 'sysdev' functionality for regular devices and buses

2011-12-14T22:29:38+00:00

All sysdev classes and sysdev devices will converted to regular devices and buses to properly hook userspace into the event processing. There is no interesting difference between a 'sysdev' and 'device' which would justify to roll an entire own subsystem with different userspace export semantics. Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure from sysdev devices, which are currently not properly available. Every converted sysdev class will create a regular device with the class name in /sys/devices/system and all registered devices will becom a children of theses devices. For compatibility reasons, the sysdev class-wide attributes are created at this parent device. (Do not copy that logic for anything new, subsystem- wide properties belong to the subsystem, not to some fake parent device created in /sys/devices.) Every sysdev driver is implemented as a simple subsystem interface now, and no longer called a driver. After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver-core: merge private parts of class and bus

2010-11-17T22:21:08+00:00

As classes and busses are pretty much the same thing, and we want to merge them together into a 'subsystem' in the future, let us share the same private data parts to make that merge easier. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver core: remove CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 but keep it for block devices

2010-10-22T17:16:43+00:00

This patch removes the old CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 config option, but it keeps the logic around to handle block devices in the old manner as some people like to run new kernel versions on old (pre 2007/2008) distros.
