Fix platform drivers that crash on suspend/resume

2008-11-13T01:17:16+00:00

It turns out that if one registers a struct platform_device, the platform device code expects that platform_device.device->driver points to a struct driver inside a struct platform_driver. This is not the case with the ipmi-si, ipmi-msghandler and ibmaem drivers, which causes the suspend/resume hook functions to jump off into nowhere, causing a crash. Make this assumption hold true for these three drivers. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

saner FASYNC handling on file close

2008-11-01T16:49:46+00:00

As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync() need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget. So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set. And lose that crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we don't have to bother anymore. Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

ipmi: add MODULE_ALIAS to load ipmi_devintf with ipmi_si

2008-10-30T18:38:47+00:00

The ipmi_devintf module contains the userspace interface for IPMI devices, yet will not be loaded automatically with a system interface handler driver. Add a MODULE_ALIAS for the "platform:ipmi_si" MODALIAS exported by the ipmi_si driver, so that userspace knows of the recommendation.

device create: char: convert device_create_drvdata to device_create

2008-10-16T16:24:42+00:00

Now that device_create() has been audited, rename things back to the original call to be sane. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

powerpc: convert CONFIG_PPC_MERGE to CONFIG_PPC for legacy io checks

2008-09-23T15:41:28+00:00

Now that arch/ppc is dead CONFIG_PPC_MERGE is always defined for all powerpc platforms and we want to get rid of CONFIG_PPC_MERGE use CONFIG_PPC instead. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala Acked-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Cc: Paul Mackerras Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala

drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:default_find_bmc(): fix leak

If check_legacy_ioport() returns true, we leak *info.

ipmi/powerpc: Use linux/of_{device,platform}.h instead of asm

2008-07-30T05:26:53+00:00

Drivers should not include the asm variants anymore Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

device create: char: convert device_create to device_create_drvdata

2008-07-22T04:54:41+00:00

device_create() is race-prone, so use the race-free device_create_drvdata() instead as device_create() is going away. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] IPMI: return correct value from ipmi_write

2008-07-11T20:31:05+00:00

This patch corrects the handling of write operations to the IPMI watchdog to work as intended by returning the number of characters actually processed. Without this patch, an "echo V >/dev/watchdog" enables the watchdog if IPMI is providing the watchdog function. Signed-off-by: Mark Rustad Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck
