Driver core: change sysdev classes to use dynamic kobject names

2008-01-25T04:40:40+00:00

All kobjects require a dynamically allocated name now. We no longer
need to keep track if the name is statically assigned, we can just
unconditionally free() all kobject names on cleanup.

Kobject: convert drivers/* from kobject_unregister() to kobject_put()

2008-01-25T04:40:40+00:00

There is no need for kobject_unregister() anymore, thanks to Kay's
kobject cleanup changes, so replace all instances of it with
kobject_put().

Kobject: change drivers/base/sys.c to use kobject_init_and_add

2008-01-25T04:40:28+00:00

Stop using kobject_register, as this way we can control the sending of
the uevent properly, after everything is properly initialized.

kset: convert /sys/devices/system to use kset_create

2008-01-25T04:40:15+00:00

Dynamically create the kset instead of declaring it statically.

kset: convert /sys/devices to use kset_create

2008-01-25T04:40:15+00:00

Dynamically create the kset instead of declaring it statically.  We also
rename devices_subsys to devices_kset to catch all users of the
variable.

kobject: remove struct kobj_type from struct kset

2008-01-25T04:40:10+00:00

We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset.  We should set this
explicitly every time for each kset.  This change is needed so that we
can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented
assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has.

This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay Sievers.

Nasty bug in the block code was found by Dave Young

sysdev: remove global sysdev drivers list

2007-10-12T21:51:07+00:00

No one uses sysdev_drivers. Because no one calls sysdev_driver_register
with NULL class.

And it is difficult to imagine that someone want to implement a global
sysdev driver which is called with all sys_device on any kind of
sysdev_class.

So this patch removes global sysdev_drivers list and update comments
for this change.

Driver core: remove kset_set_kset_s

2007-10-12T21:51:01+00:00

This macro is only used by the driver core and is held over from when we
had subsystems.  It is not needed anymore.

sysdev: use mutex instead of semaphore

2007-07-11T23:09:01+00:00

The sysdev code use a semaphore as mutex.  Use the mutex API instead of the
(binary) semaphore.

remove "struct subsystem" as it is no longer needed

2007-05-03T01:57:59+00:00

We need to work on cleaning up the relationship between kobjects, ksets and
ktypes.  The removal of 'struct subsystem' is the first step of this,
especially as it is not really needed at all.

Thanks to Kay for fixing the bugs in this patch.
