Use WARN() in lib/

2008-07-26T19:00:07+00:00

Use WARN() instead of a printk+WARN_ON() pair; this way the message becomes
part of the warning section for better reporting/collection.  In addition, one
of the if() clauses collapes into the WARN() entirely now.

kobject: Transmit return value of call_usermodehelper() to caller

2008-07-22T04:55:00+00:00

kobject_uevent_env() drops the return value of call_usermodehelper().
It will make upper caller, such as dm_send_uevents(), to lose error
information.

BTW, Previously kobject_uevent_env() transmitted return of
call_usermodehelper() to callers, but

[NETNS]: Declare init_net even without CONFIG_NET defined.

2008-04-03T20:04:33+00:00

This does not look good, but there is no other choice. The compilation
without CONFIG_NET is broken and can not be fixed with ease.

After that there is no need for the following commits:

These messages are a regression compared with 2.6.24, which did not
flood the syslog with them.

The actual underlying problem was introduced in 2.6.23, when somebody
made the string parsing no longer accept nul-terminated strings as a
valid input to store_uevent().

Eg.  "add\0" was valid prior to 2.6.23, where the code regressed to
require "add" without the '\0'.

This patch fixes the 2.6.23 / 2.6.24 regressions, by having the code
once again tolerate the trailing '\0', if present.

According to GregKH, this mainly affects older Ubuntu systems, such as
the one I have here that requires this fix.

Kobject: auto-cleanup on final unref

2008-01-25T04:40:39+00:00

We save the current state in the object itself, so we can do proper
cleanup when the last reference is dropped.

If the initial reference is dropped, the object will be removed from
sysfs if needed, if an "add" event was sent, "remove" will be send, and
the allocated resources are released.

This allows us to clean up some driver core usage as well as allowing us
to do other such changes to the rest of the kernel.

kobject: clean up debugging messages

2008-01-25T04:40:26+00:00

The kobject debugging messages are a mess.  This provides a unified
message that makes them actually useful.

The format for new kobject debug messages should be:
	kobject: 'KOBJECT_NAME' (ADDRESS): FUNCTION_NAME: message.\n
