[PATCH] Driver core: add generic "subsystem" link to all devices

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

Like the SUBSYTEM= key we find in the environment of the uevent, this creates a generic "subsystem" link in sysfs for every device. Userspace usually doesn't care at all if its a "class" or a "bus" device. This provides an unified way to determine the subsytem of a device, regardless of the way the driver core has created it.

[PATCH] Driver core: allow struct device to have a dev_t

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

This is the first step in moving class_device to being replaced by struct device. It allows struct device to export a dev_t and makes it easy to dynamically create and destroy struct device as long as they are associated with a specific class. Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[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: remove unused exports

[PATCH] Driver core: class_device_add needs error checks

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

class_device_add needs to check the return value of all the setup it does. It doesn't handle out of memory well. This is not complete, probably more needs to be done. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[CLASS DEVICE]: add attribute_group creation

2006-05-07T00:55:11+00:00

Extend the support of attribute groups in class_device's to allow groups to be created as part of the registration process. This allows network device's to avoid race between registration and creating groups. Note that unlike attributes that are a property of the class object, the groups are a property of the class_device object. This is done because there are different types of network devices (wireless for example). Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[PATCH] driver core: fix unnecessary NULL check in drivers/base/class.c

2006-04-14T18:41:24+00:00

This patch tries to fix an issue in drivers/base/class.c, please review and apply if correct. Patch Description: "parent_class" is checked for NULL already, so removed the unnecessary check. Signed-off-by: Jayachandran C. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] driver core: replace "hotplug" by "uevent"

2006-01-05T00:18:08+00:00

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 Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] fix missing includes

2005-10-31T01:37:32+00:00

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. Signed-off-by: Tim Schmielau Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
