lockdep: Add novalidate class for dev->mutex conversion 2010-05-21T16:37:30+00:00 Peter Zijlstra peterz@infradead.org 2010-03-19T00:37:42+00:00 1704f47b50b5d9e1b825e43e1baaf2c5897baf03 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.

The wakeup flags are set to 0 along with everything else when the device structure is allocated, so we don't need to do it again. Furthermore, the subsystem might already have set these flags to their correct values; we don't want to override it.

Constify struct sysfs_ops.

This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.

Benefits of this constification:

 * prevents modification of data that is shared
   (referenced) by many other structure instances
   at runtime

 * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
   modification attempts on archs that enforce
   read-only kernel data at runtime

 * potentially better optimized code as the compiler
   can assume that the const data cannot be changed

 * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
   and therefore exclude them from false sharing
