driver core: device_rename's new_name can be const

2010-08-05T20:53:35+00:00

The new_name argument to device_rename() can be
const as kobject_rename's new_name argument is.

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next-2.6: (1443 commits)
  phy/marvell: add 88ec048 support
  igb: Program MDICNFG register prior to PHY init
  e1000e: correct MAC-PHY interconnect register offset for 82579
  hso: Add new product ID
  can: Add driver for esd CAN-USB/2 device
  l2tp: fix export of header file for userspace
  can-raw: Fix skb_orphan_try handling
  Revert "net: remove zap_completion_queue"
  net: cleanup inclusion
  phy/marvell: add 88e1121 interface mode support
  u32: negative offset fix
  net: Fix a typo from "dev" to "ndev"
  igb: Use irq_synchronize per vector when using MSI-X
  ixgbevf: fix null pointer dereference due to filter being set for VLAN 0
  e1000e: Fix irq_synchronize in MSI-X case
  e1000e: register pm_qos request on hardware activation
  ip_fragment: fix subtracting PPPOE_SES_HLEN from mtu twice
  net: Add getsockopt support for TCP thin-streams
  cxgb4: update driver version
  cxgb4: add new PCI IDs
  ...

Manually fix up conflicts in:
 - drivers/net/e1000e/netdev.c: due to pm_qos registration
   infrastructure changes
 - drivers/net/phy/marvell.c: conflict between adding 88ec048 support
   and cleaning up the IDs
 - drivers/net/wireless/ipw2x00/ipw2100.c: trivial ipw2100_pm_qos_req
   conflict (registration change vs marking it static)

Driver-core: Always create class directories for classses that support namespaces.

2010-07-26T15:05:31+00:00

This fixes the regression in 2.6.35-rcX where bluetooth network devices
would fail to be deleted from sysfs, causing their destruction and
recreation to fail.  In addition this fixes the mac80211_hwsim driver
where it would leave around sysfs files when the driver was removed.

This problem is discussed at
  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16257

The reason for the regression is that the network namespace support
added to sysfs expects and requires that network devices be put in
directories that can contain only network devices.

Today get_device_parent almost provides that guarantee for all class
devices, except for a specific exception when the parent of a class
devices is a class device.  It would be nice to simply remove that
arguably incorrect special case, but apparently the input devices depend
on it being there.  So I have only removed it for class devices with
network namespace support.  Which today are the network devices.

It has been suggested that a better fix would be to change the parent
device from a class device to a bus device, which in the case of the
bluetooth driver would change /sys/class/bluetooth to /sys/bus/bluetoth,
I can not see how we would avoid significant userspace breakage if we
were to make that change.

Adding an extra directory in the path to the device will also be
userspace visible but it is much less likely to break things.
Everything is still accessible from /sys/class (for example), and it
fixes two bugs.  Adding an extra directory fixes a 3 year old regression
introduced with the new sysfs layout that makes it impossible to rename
bnep0 network devices to names that conflict with hci device attributes
like hci_revsion.  Adding an additional directory removes the new
failure modes introduced by the network namespace code.

If it weren't for the regession in the renaming of network devices I
would figure out how to just make the sysfs code deal with this
configuration of devices.

In summary this patch fixes regressions by changing:
"/sys/class/bluetooth/hci0/bnep0" to "/sys/class/bluetooth/hci0/net/bnep0".

device.h drivers/base/core.c Convert dev_ logging macros to functions

2010-07-04T17:40:17+00:00

Reduces an x86 defconfig text and data ~55k, .6% smaller.

$ size vmlinux*
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
7205273	 716016	1366288	9287577	 8db799	vmlinux
7258890	 719768	1366288	9344946	 8e97b2	vmlinux.master

Uses %pV and struct va_format
Format arguments are verified before printk

The dev_info macro is converted to _dev_info because there are
existing uses of variables named dev_info in the kernel tree
like drivers/net/pcmcia/pcnet_cs.c

A dev_info macro is created to call _dev_info

device_del and device_rename were modified to use
sysfs_delete_link and sysfs_rename_link respectively to ensure
when these operations happen on devices whose classes
are in namespace directories they work properly.

Driver core: Protect device shutdown from hot unplug events.

2010-05-21T16:37:30+00:00

While device_shutdown() walks through devices_kset to shutdown all
devices, device unplug events may race to shutdown individual devices.
Specifically, sd_shutdown(), on behalf of fc_starget_delete(), has
been observed deleting devices during device_shutdown()'s list
traversal.  So we factor out list_for_each_entry_safe_reverse(...) in
favor of while (!list_empty(...)).

lockdep: Add novalidate class for dev->mutex conversion

2010-05-21T16:37:30+00:00

The conversion of device->sem to device->mutex resulted in lockdep
warnings. Create a novalidate class for now until the driver folks
come up with separate classes. That way we have at least the basic
mutex debugging coverage.

Add a checkpatch error so the usage is reserved for device->mutex.

drivers/base: Convert dev->sem to mutex

2010-05-21T16:37:30+00:00

The semaphore is semantically a mutex. Convert it to a real mutex and
fix up a few places where code was relying on semaphore.h to be included
by device.h, as well as the users of the trylock function, as that value
is now reversed.
