driver core: attribute_container: change return type to void

2026-01-16T15:46:14+00:00

attribute_container_register() has always returned 0 since its introduction in commit 06ff5a987e ("Add attribute container to generic device model") in the historical Linux tree [1]. Convert the return type to void and update all callers. This removes dead code where callers checked for errors that could never occur.

scsi: scsi_transport_fc: Introduce encryption group in fc_rport attribute

2025-12-17T02:56:48+00:00

Introduce a new structure for reporting an encrypted session over an fc_rport. The encryption group is added as an attribute in struct fc_rport and reports information in fc_encryption_info. This structure contains a status member variable, which stores a bit value indicating an encrypted session.

drivers: base: transport_class: fix resource leak when transport_add_device() fails

2023-01-20T13:22:53+00:00

The normal call sequence of using transport class is: Add path: transport_setup_device() transport_setup_classdev() // call sas_host_setup() here transport_add_device() // if fails, need call transport_destroy_device() transport_configure_device() Remove path: transport_remove_device() transport_remove_classdev // call sas_host_remove() here transport_destroy_device() If transport_add_device() fails, need call transport_destroy_device() to free memory, but in this case, ->remove() is not called, and the resources allocated in ->setup() are leaked. So fix these leaks by calling ->remove() in transport_add_class_device() if it returns error.

driver core: Remove redundant license text

2017-12-07T17:36:44+00:00

Now that the SPDX tag is in all driver core files, that identifies the license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all. This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never needed. No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

driver core: add SPDX identifiers to all driver core files

2017-12-07T17:36:43+00:00

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to audit the kernel tree for correct licenses. Update the driver core files files with the correct SPDX license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart. Cc: Johannes Berg Cc: "Luis R.

drivers/base: transport_class explicitly requires EXPORT_SYMBOL

2011-10-31T23:31:15+00:00

This file was getting via an implicit include path, but we want to crush those out of existence since they cost time during compiles of processing thousands of lines of headers for no reason. Give it the lightweight header that just contains the EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

[SCSI] transport_class: BUG if we can't release the attribute container

2008-04-07T17:19:10+00:00

Every current transport class calls transport_container_release but ignores the return value. This is catastrophic if it returns an error because the containers are part of a global list and the next action of almost every transport class is to free the memory used by the container. Fix this by making transport_container_release a void, but making it BUG if attribute_container_release returns an error ... this catches the root cause of a system panic much earlier. If we don't do this, we get an eventual BUG when the attribute container list notices the corruption caused by the freed memory it's still referencing. Also made attribute_container_release __must_check as a reminder. Cc: Greg KH Signed-off-by: James Bottomley
