* [CLASS DEVICE]: add attribute_group creationStephen Hemminger2006-05-061-0/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend the support of attribute groups in class_device's to allow groups to be created as part of the registration process. This allows network device's to avoid race between registration and creating groups. Note that unlike attributes that are a property of the class object, the groups are a property of the class_device object. This is done because there are different types of network devices (wireless for example).

* [PATCH] Remove __devinit and __cpuinit from notifier_call definitionsChandra Seetharaman2006-04-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Few of the notifier_chain_register() callers use __init in the definition of notifier_call. It is incorrect as the function definition should be available after the initializations (they do not unregister them during initializations). This patch fixes all such usages to _not_ have the notifier_call __init section. Signed-off-by: Chandra Seetharaman <sekharan@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Example: usb_hcd_pci_suspend(): pci_set_power_state+0x0/0x1af() returns -22 pci_device_suspend(): usb_hcd_pci_suspend+0x0/0x11b() returns -22 suspend_device(): pci_device_suspend+0x0/0x34() returns -22 Work-in-progress.

* [PATCH] driver core: driver_bind attribute returns incorrect valueRyan Wilson2006-04-141-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The manual driver <-> device binding attribute in sysfs doesn't return the correct value on failure or success of driver_probe_device. driver_probe_device returns 1 on success (the driver accepted the device) or 0 on probe failure (when the driver didn't accept the device but no real error occured). However, the attribute can't just return 0 or 1, it must return the number of bytes consumed from buf or an error value. Returning 0 indicates to userspace that nothing was written (even though the kernel has tried to do the bind/probe and failed). Returning 1 indicates that only one character was accepted in which case userspace will re-try the write with a partial string. A more correct version of driver_bind would return count (to indicate the entire string was consumed) when driver_probe_device returns 1 and -ENODEV when driver_probe_device returns 0. This patch makes that change. Signed-off-by: Ryan Wilson <hap9@epoch.ncsc.mil> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

* [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changesAlan Stern2006-03-271-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2 We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage classes: "Blocking" chains are always called from a process context and the callout routines are allowed to sleep; "Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and the callout routines are not allowed to sleep. We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in kernel/sys.c. With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to handle these things in their own way.) There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code had to be changed to avoid it.) Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much less frequent that calling a chain. Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

If they are, please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems. (However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be atomic.)

It's not clear to me why it expects that it will only get an extra 4k of data. The attached patch modifies fw_realloc_buffer to vmalloc as much memory as is requested, instead of what we previously had + 4k. I've tested this on my laptop, which would crash occaisionally on boot without the patch. With the patch, it hasn't crashed, but I can't be certain that this code path is exercised.

* [PATCH] Export cpu topology in sysfsZhang, Yanmin2006-02-032-0/+149
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch implements cpu topology exportation by sysfs. Items (attributes) are similar to /proc/cpuinfo. 1) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/physical_package_id: represent the physical package id of cpu X; 2) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_id: represent the cpu core id to cpu X; 3) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings: represent the thread siblings to cpu X in the same core; 4) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings: represent the thread siblings to cpu X in the same physical package; To implement it in an architecture-neutral way, a new source file, driver/base/topology.c, is to export the 5 attributes. If one architecture wants to support this feature, it just needs to implement 4 defines, typically in file include/asm-XXX/topology.h. The 4 defines are: #define topology_physical_package_id(cpu) #define topology_core_id(cpu) #define topology_thread_siblings(cpu) #define topology_core_siblings(cpu) The type of **_id is int. The type of siblings is cpumask_t. To be consistent on all architectures, the 4 attributes should have deafult values if their values are unavailable. Below is the rule. 1) physical_package_id: If cpu has no physical package id, -1 is the default value. 2) core_id: If cpu doesn't support multi-core, its core id is 0. 3) thread_siblings: Just include itself, if the cpu doesn't support HT/multi-thread. 4) core_siblings: Just include itself, if the cpu doesn't support multi-core and HT/Multi-thread. So be careful when declaring the 4 defines in include/asm-XXX/topology.h. If an attribute isn't defined on an architecture, it won't be exported. Thank Nathan, Greg, Andi, Paul and Venki. The patch provides defines for i386/x86_64/ia64.

This facility is needed by USB device drivers, owing to the peculiar way USB devices work: A device provides multiple interfaces, and drivers are bound to interfaces rather than to devices; Nevertheless a reset, reset-configuration, suspend, or resume affects the entire device and requires the caller to hold the lock for the device, not just a lock for one of the interfaces. Since a USB driver's probe method is always called with the interface lock held, the locking order rules (always lock parent before child) prevent these methods from acquiring the device lock. The solution provided here is to call all probe and remove methods, for all devices (not just USB), with the parent lock already acquired. Although currently only the USB subsystem requires these changes, people have mentioned in prior discussion that the overhead of acquiring an extra semaphore in all the prove/remove sequences is not overly large. Up to now, the USB core has been using its own set of private semaphores. A followup patch will remove them, relying entirely on the device semaphores provided by the driver core. The code paths affected by this patch are: device_add and device_del: The USB core already holds the parent lock, so no actual change is needed. driver_register and driver_unregister: The driver core will now lock both the parent and the device before probing or removing. driver_bind and driver_unbind (in sysfs): These routines will now lock both the parent and the device before binding or unbinding. bus_rescan_devices: The helper routine will lock the parent before probing a device. I have not tested this patch for conflicts with other subsystems. As far as I can see, the only possibility of conflict would lie in the bus_rescan_devices pathway, and it seems pretty remote. Nevertheless, it would be good for this to get a lot of testing in -mm. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* [PATCH] driver core: replace "hotplug" by "uevent"Kay Sievers2006-01-046-87/+86
| | | | | | | | | Leave the overloaded "hotplug" word to susbsystems which are handling real devices. The driver core does not "plug" anything, it just exports the state to userspace and generates events.

* [DRIVER MODEL] Add platform_driverRussell King2005-11-091-0/+73
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce struct platform_driver. This allows the platform device driver methods to be passed a platform_device structure instead of instead of a plain device structure, and therefore requiring casting in every platform driver. We introduce this in such a way that any existing platform drivers registered directly via driver_register continue to work as before, thereby allowing a gradual conversion to the new platform_driver methods.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.
