[PATCH] Add bus_type probe, remove, shutdown methods.

2006-01-13T19:26:04+00:00

Add bus_type probe, remove and shutdown methods to replace the
corresponding methods in struct device_driver.  This matches
the way we handle the suspend/resume methods.

Since the bus methods override the device_driver methods, warn
if a device driver is registered whose methods will not be
called.

The long-term idea is to remove the device_driver methods entirely.

[PATCH] fix klist semantics for lists which have elements removed on traversal

2005-09-08T01:26:54+00:00

The problem is that klists claim to provide semantics for safe traversal of
lists which are being modified.  The failure case is when traversal of a
list causes element removal (a fairly common case).  The issue is that
although the list node is refcounted, if it is embedded in an object (which
is universally the case), then the object will be freed regardless of the
klist refcount leading to slab corruption because the klist iterator refers
to the prior element to get the next.

The solution is to make the klist take and release references to the
embedding object meaning that the embedding object won't be released until
the list relinquishes the reference to it.

(akpm: fast-track this because it's needed for the 2.6.13 scsi merge)

[PATCH] driver core: add bus_find_device & driver_find_device functions

2005-06-30T05:48:03+00:00

Add bus_find_device() and driver_find_device() which allow searching for a
device in the bus's resp. the driver's klist and obtain a reference on it.

[PATCH] Add a klist to struct device_driver for the devices bound to it.

2005-06-20T22:15:16+00:00

- Use it in driver_for_each_device() instead of the regular list_head and stop using
  the bus's rwsem for protection.
- Use driver_for_each_device() in driver_detach() so we don't deadlock on the
  bus's rwsem.
- Remove ->devices.
- Move klist access and sysfs link access out from under device's semaphore, since
  they're synchronized through other means.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
