parport: add device-model to parport subsystem

2015-05-31T22:08:18+00:00

parport subsystem starts using the device-model. Drivers using the
device-model has to define devmodel as true and should register the
device with parport using parport_register_dev_model().

parport: convert use of typedef ctl_table to struct ctl_table

2014-06-06T23:08:15+00:00

This typedef is unnecessary and should just be removed.

parport: use kmemdup instead of kmalloc + memcpy

2013-03-25T17:42:06+00:00

This replaces calls to kmalloc followed by memcpy with a single call to
kmemdup. This was found via make coccicheck.

sysctl: Drop & in front of every proc_handler.

2009-11-18T16:37:40+00:00

For consistency drop & in front of every proc_handler.  Explicity
taking the address is unnecessary and it prevents optimizations
like stubbing the proc_handlers to NULL.

sysctl drivers: Remove dead binary sysctl support

2009-11-12T10:04:58+00:00

Now that sys_sysctl is a wrapper around /proc/sys all of
the binary sysctl support elsewhere in the tree is
dead code.

sysctl: remove "struct file *" argument of ->proc_handler

2009-09-24T14:21:04+00:00

It's unused.

It isn't needed -- read or write flag is already passed and sysctl
shouldn't care about the rest.

It _was_ used in two places at arch/frv for some reason.

parport/share.c: proper externs

parport: "dev->timeslice" is an unsigned long, not an int

2007-12-18T03:28:15+00:00

While auditing proc_doulongvec_ms_jiffies_minmax() usage in kernel, I found
a bug in drivers/parport/procfs.c, incorrectly using sizeof(int) instead of
sizeof(unsigned long)

Only 64bit arches are affected by this old bug.

sysctl: parport remove binary paths

2007-10-18T21:37:23+00:00

The sysctl binary paths don't look as if they even code work, .data is not
filled in, and all of the proc_handlers look at extra1 and there is not
strategy routine.

So just kill the binary paths.

In addition this patch removes the setting of extra1 on directories.  It
doesn't look like the parport code ever examines it, and it's bad sysctl form.

[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl

2007-02-14T16:09:59+00:00

The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.
