Unless we finally completely remove it, people will always add new users.

PCI: Require vendor and device for new_id

2007-05-03T02:02:35+00:00

Currently, there is no minimum number of fields required when adding
a new device ID to a PCI driver through the new_id sysfs file. It is
possible to add a new ID with only the vendor ID set, causing the
driver to attempt to attach to all PCI devices from that vendor. This
has been reported to happen accidentally:
  http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2007-March/019366.html
It is even possible to not even set the vendor ID field, causing the
driver to attempt to attach to _all_ the PCI devices.

This sounds dangerous and I fail to see any valid use of this
"feature". Thus I suggest that we now require at least the first two
fields (vendor ID and device ID) to be set. For what it's worth, this
is what the USB subsystem does.

PCI: pci.txt fix __devexit() usage

2007-02-16T23:30:10+00:00

Marin Mitov  spotted a brainfart where I had
failed to update copied text with *_remove and __devexit().

Marin made a good comment in his email to me:
| mydriver_probe() is _always_ executed, while mydriver_remove() is not.
| See: include/linux/init.h

Which says:
/* Functions marked as __devexit may be discarded at kernel link time, depending
   on config options.  Newer versions of binutils detect references from
   retained sections to discarded sections and flag an error.  Pointers to
   __devexit functions must use __devexit_p(function_name), the wrapper will
   insert either the function_name or NULL, depending on the config options.

PCI: rework Documentation/pci.txt

2007-01-22T20:00:54+00:00

Rewrite Documentation/pci.txt:
o restructure document to match how API is used when writing init code.
o update to reflect changes in struct pci_driver function pointers.
o removed language on "new style vs old style" device discovery.
  "Old style" is now deprecated. Don't use it. Left description in
  to document existing driver behaviors.
o add section "Legacy I/O Port free driver" by Kenji Kaneshige
  http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/11/22/25
  (renamed to "pci_enable_device_bars() and Legacy I/O Port space")
o add "MMIO space and write posting" section to help avoid common pitfall
  when converting drivers from IO Port space to MMIO space.
  Orignally posted http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/27/24
o many typo/grammer/spelling corrections from Randy Dunlap
o two more spelling corrections from Stephan Richter
o fix CodingStyle as per Randy Dunlap
