kset: kernel-doc cleanups

2007-07-30T21:25:12+00:00

Removed kernel-doc marker (/**) from struct kset -- each struct member
still needs annotation.

Corrected one parameter name so that kernel-doc matches the macro.

kobject: put kobject_actions in kobject.h

2007-07-30T21:25:12+00:00

This prevents the extern declaration in the driver core.

Driver core: accept all valid action-strings in uevent-trigger

2007-07-18T22:49:49+00:00

This allows the uevent file to handle any type of uevent action to be
triggered by userspace instead of just the "add" uevent.

sysfs: make kobj point to sysfs_dirent instead of dentry

2007-07-11T23:09:08+00:00

As kobj sysfs dentries and inodes are gonna be made reclaimable,
dentry can't be used as naming token for sysfs file/directory, replace
kobj->dentry with kobj->sd.  The only external interface change is
shadow directory handling.  All other changes are contained in kobj
and sysfs.

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.

kobject core: remove rwsem from struct subsystem

2007-04-27T17:57:31+00:00

It isn't used at all by the driver core anymore, and the few usages of
it within the kernel have now all been fixed as most of them were using
it incorrectly.  So remove it.

Now the whole struct subsys can be removed from the system, but that's
for a later patch...

driver core: fix namespace issue with devices assigned to classes

2007-04-27T17:57:28+00:00

  - uses a kset in "struct class" to keep track of all directories
    belonging to this class
  - merges with the /sys/devices/virtual logic.
  - removes the namespace-dir if the last member of that class
    leaves the directory.

There may be locking or refcounting fixes left, I stopped when it seemed
to work with network and sound modules. :)

sysfs: Shadow directory support

2007-02-07T18:37:14+00:00

The problem.  When implementing a network namespace I need to be able
to have multiple network devices with the same name.  Currently this
is a problem for /sys/class/net/*. 

What I want is a separate /sys/class/net directory in sysfs for each
network namespace, and I want to name each of them /sys/class/net.

I looked and the VFS actually allows that.  All that is needed is
for /sys/class/net to implement a follow link method to redirect
lookups to the real directory you want. 

Implementing a follow link method that is sensitive to the current
network namespace turns out to be 3 lines of code so it looks like a
clean approach.  Modifying sysfs so it doesn't get in my was is a bit
trickier. 

I am calling the concept of multiple directories all at the same path
in the filesystem shadow directories.  With the directory entry really
at that location the shadow master. 

The following patch modifies sysfs so it can handle a directory
structure slightly different from the kobject tree so I can implement
the shadow directories for handling /sys/class/net/.

kobject: kobject_uevent() returns manageable value

2006-12-20T18:56:44+00:00

Since kobject_uevent() function does not return an integer value to
indicate if its operation was completed with success or not, it is worth
changing it in order to report a proper status (success or error) instead
of returning void.
