kobject: Make Documentation/kobject.txt a little more coherent.

2009-01-06T18:44:32+00:00

While reading Documentation/kobject.txt:

  Note kobject_rename does perform any locking or have a solid notion of
  what names are valid so the provide must provide their own sanity checking
  and serialization.

I expect better: You never see me hard with time word making sentence
coherent stuff.  Ever.

kobject: Fix kobject_rename and !CONFIG_SYSFS

2008-10-16T16:24:52+00:00

When looking at kobject_rename I found two bugs with
that exist when sysfs support is disabled in the kernel.

kobject_rename does not change the name on the kobject when
sysfs support is not compiled in.

kobject_rename without locking attempts to check the
validity of a rename operation, which the kobject layer
simply does not have the infrastructure to do.

This patch documents the previously unstated requirement of
kobject_rename that is the responsibility of the caller to
provide mutual exclusion and to be certain that the new_name
for the kobject is valid.

This patch modifies sysfs_rename_dir in !CONFIG_SYSFS case
to call kobject_set_name to actually change the kobject_name.

This patch removes the bogus and misleading check in kobject_rename
that attempts to see if a rename is valid.  The check is bogus
because we do not have the proper locking.  The check is misleading
because it looks like we can and do perform checking at the kobject
level that we don't.

kobject: remove old, outdated documentation.

2008-01-25T04:40:41+00:00

As we are replacing the documentation, it's easier to do this in a two
stage pass, delete the old file and add the new one.

There is only one user of it, and it is only a wrapper for kset_init().

Update kobject documentation:

- Update structure definitions.
- Remove documentation of removed struct subsystem.

(First shot, uevent_ops probably need some documentation as well.)
