[PATCH] fix class symlinks in sysfs

2005-09-22T14:58:24+00:00

The class symlinks in sysfs don't properly handle changing device names.

To demonstrate, rename your network device from eth0 to eth1. Your
pci (or usb, or whatever) device will still have a 'net:eth0' link,
except now it points to /sys/class/net/eth1.

The attached patch makes sure the class symlink name changes when
the class device name changes. It isn't 100% correct, it should be
using sysfs_rename_link. Unfortunately, sysfs_rename_link doesn't exist.

[PATCH] Driver core: link device and all class devices derived from it.

2005-09-05T23:03:10+00:00

Driver core: link device and all class devices derived from it.

To ease the task of locating class devices derived from a certain
device create symlinks from parent device to its class devices.
Change USB host class device name from usbX to usb_hostX to avoid
conflict when creating aforementioned links.

Tweaked by Greg to have the symlink be "class_name:class_device_name" in
order to prevent duplicate links.

[PATCH] Driver core: potentially fix use after free in class_device_attr_show

2005-08-17T04:06:24+00:00

This moves the code to free devt_attr from class_device_del() to
class_dev_release() which is called after the last reference to the
corresponding kobject() is gone.

This allows us to keep the devt_attr alive while the corresponding
sysfs file is open.

[PATCH] CLASS: move a "simple" class logic into the class core.

2005-06-20T22:15:04+00:00

One step on improving the class api so that it can not be used incorrectly.
This also fixes the module owner issue with the dev files that happened when
the devt logic moved to the class core.

Based on a patch originally written by Kay Sievers

[PATCH] kobject/hotplug split - class core

2005-04-19T04:57:35+00:00

kobject_add() and kobject_del() don't emit hotplug events anymore. Do it
ourselves if we are finished populating the device directory.
