device create: char: convert device_create to device_create_drvdata

2008-07-22T04:54:41+00:00

device_create() is race-prone, so use the race-free
device_create_drvdata() instead as device_create() is going away.

tty: Ldisc revamp

2008-07-21T00:12:34+00:00

Move the line disciplines towards a conventional ->ops arrangement.  For
the moment the actual 'tty_ldisc' struct in the tty is kept as part of
the tty struct but this can then be changed if it turns out that when it
all settles down we want to refcount ldiscs separately to the tty.

Pull the ldisc code out of /proc and put it with our ldisc code.

Add a bunch of cycle_kernel_lock() calls

2008-06-20T20:05:53+00:00

All of the open() functions which don't need the BKL on their face may
still depend on its acquisition to serialize opens against driver
initialization.  So make those functions acquire then release the BKL to be
on the safe side.

This doesn't need to be two modules, and making it one cleans up the

tty: The big operations rework

2008-04-30T15:29:47+00:00

- Operations are now a shared const function block as with most other Linux
  objects

- Introduce wrappers for some optional functions to get consistent behaviour

- Wrap put_char which used to be patched by the tty layer

- Document which functions are needed/optional

- Make put_char report success/fail

- Cache the driver->ops pointer in the tty as tty->ops

- Remove various surplus lock calls we no longer need

- Remove proc_write method as noted by Alexey Dobriyan

- Introduce some missing sanity checks where certain driver/ldisc
  combinations would oops as they didn't check needed methods were present
