Driver-Core: extend devnode callbacks to provide permissions

2009-09-19T19:50:38+00:00

This allows subsytems to provide devtmpfs with non-default permissions
for the device node. Instead of the default mode of 0600, null, zero,
random, urandom, full, tty, ptmx now have a mode of 0666, which allows
non-privileged processes to access standard device nodes in case no
other userspace process applies the expected permissions.

This also fixes a wrong assignment in pktcdvd and a checkpatch.pl complain.

Driver Core: misc: add nodename support for misc devices.

This adds support for misc devices to report their requested nodename to
userspace.  It also updates a number of misc drivers to provide the
needed subdirectory and device name to be used for them.

PM: Remove destroy_suspended_device()

2008-04-20T02:10:28+00:00

After 2.6.24 there was a plan to make the PM core acquire all device
semaphores during a suspend/hibernation to protect itself from
concurrent operations involving device objects.  That proved to be
too heavy-handed and we found a better way to achieve the goal, but
before it happened, we had introduced the functions
device_pm_schedule_removal() and destroy_suspended_device() to allow
drivers to "safely" destroy a suspended device and we had adapted some
drivers to use them.  Now that these functions are no longer necessary,
it seems reasonable to remove them and modify their users to use the
normal device unregistration instead.

Driver core: change misc class_devices to be real devices

2006-12-01T22:51:59+00:00

This also ment that some of the misc drivers had to also be fixed
up as they were assuming the device was a class_device.

[PATCH] mark f_ops const in the inode

2006-03-28T17:16:05+00:00

Mark the f_ops members of inodes as const, as well as fix the
ripple-through this causes by places that copy this f_ops and then "do
stuff" with it.
