driver core: bus: Goto appropriate labels on failure in bus_add_device

2015-05-15T07:10:41+00:00

commit 1c34203a1496d1849ba978021b878b3447d433c8 upstream.

It is not necessary to call device_remove_groups() when device_add_groups()
fails.

The group added by device_add_groups() should be removed if sysfs_create_link()
fails.

driver core: Fix unbalanced device reference in drivers_probe

2015-01-26T13:38:53+00:00

commit bb34cb6bbd287b57e955bc5cfd42fcde6aaca279 upstream.

bus_find_device_by_name() acquires a device reference which is never
released.  This results in an object leak, which on older kernels
results in failure to release all resources of PCI devices.  libvirt
uses drivers_probe to re-attach devices to the host after assignment
and is therefore a common trigger for this leak.

Example:

# cd /sys/bus/pci/
# dmesg -C
# echo 1 > devices/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
# echo 0 > devices/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
# dmesg | grep 01:10

 kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): calling ktype release
 kobject: '0000:01:10.0': free name

[kobject freed as expected]

driver core: add #include to core files.

This is needed to fix the build on sh systems.

driver core: bus: use DRIVER_ATTR_WO()

2013-08-23T22:04:42+00:00

There are two bus attributes that can better be defined using
DRIVER_ATTR_WO(), so convert them to the new macro, making it easier to
audit attribute permissions.

sysfs.h: remove attr_name() macro

2013-08-22T17:25:34+00:00

Gotta love a macro that doesn't reduce the typing you have to do.

Also, only the driver core, and one network driver uses this.  The
driver core functions will be going away soon, and I'll convert the
network driver soon to not need this as well, so delete it for now
before anyone else gets some bright ideas and wants to use it.

sysfs: add sysfs_create/remove_groups()

2013-08-21T23:02:19+00:00

These functions are being open-coded in 3 different places in the driver
core, and other driver subsystems will want to start doing this as well,
so move it to the sysfs core to keep it all in one place, where we know
it is written properly.

driver core: bus_type: add bus_groups

2013-08-12T22:33:31+00:00

attribute groups are much more flexible than just a list of attributes,
due to their support for visibility of the attributes, and binary
attributes. Add bus_groups to struct bus_type which should be used
instead of bus_attrs.

bus_attrs will be removed from the structure soon.

Modules want to call this function, so it needs to be exported.
