[PATCH] driver core: replace "hotplug" by "uevent"

2006-01-05T00:18:08Z

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. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] fix missing includes

2005-10-31T01:37:32Z

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. Signed-off-by: Tim Schmielau Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Driver Core: add the ability for class_device structures to be nested

2005-10-28T16:52:51Z

This patch allows struct class_device to be nested, so that another struct class_device can be the parent of a new one, instead of only having the struct class be the parent. This will allow us to (hopefully) fix up the input and video class subsystem mess. But please people, don't go crazy and start making huge trees of class devices, you should only need 2 levels deep to get everything to work (remember to use a class_interface to get notification of a new class device being added to the system.) Oh, this also allows us to have the possibility of potentially, someday, moving /sys/block into /sys/class. The main hindrance is that pesky /dev numberspace issue...

[PATCH] add sysfs attr to re-emit device hotplug event

2005-10-28T16:52:51Z

A "coldplug + udevstart" can be simple like this: for i in /sys/block/*/*/uevent; do echo 1 > $i; done for i in /sys/class/*/*/uevent; do echo 1 > $i; done for i in /sys/bus/*/devices/*/uevent; do echo 1 > $i; done Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] Driver core: pass interface to class interface methods

2005-10-28T16:52:51Z

Driver core: pass interface to class intreface methods Pass interface as argument to add() and remove() class interface methods. This way a subsystem can implement generic add/remove handlers and then call interface-specific ones. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] Driver core: send hotplug event before adding class interfaces

2005-10-28T16:52:50Z

Move call to kobject_hotplug() above code that adds interfaces to a class device, otherwise children's hotplug events may reach userspace first. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] fix class symlinks in sysfs

2005-09-22T14:58:24Z

The class symlinks in sysfs don't properly handle changing device names. To demonstrate, rename your network device from eth0 to eth1. Your pci (or usb, or whatever) device will still have a 'net:eth0' link, except now it points to /sys/class/net/eth1. The attached patch makes sure the class symlink name changes when the class device name changes. It isn't 100% correct, it should be using sysfs_rename_link. Unfortunately, sysfs_rename_link doesn't exist. Signed-off-by: Bill Nottingham Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] drivers/base/*: use kzalloc instead of kmalloc+memset

Fixes a bunch of memset bugs too. Signed-off-by: Lion Vollnhals Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Cc: Greg KH Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Driver core: small cleanup; remove check for NULL before kfree() in driver core

2005-09-05T23:03:13Z

Remove needless checking of variable for NULL before calling kfree() on it. Applies to 2.6.13-rc6-git9 Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] Driver core: link device and all class devices derived from it.

2005-09-05T23:03:10Z

Driver core: link device and all class devices derived from it. To ease the task of locating class devices derived from a certain device create symlinks from parent device to its class devices. Change USB host class device name from usbX to usb_hostX to avoid conflict when creating aforementioned links. Tweaked by Greg to have the symlink be "class_name:class_device_name" in order to prevent duplicate links. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
