This fixes up the driver core build errors when CONFIG_BLOCK=N Thanks to Alexander van Heukelum for the basis of this patch, and to Jeremy Fitzhardinge for reporting the problem. Cc: Alexander van Heukelum Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Driver core: coding style fixes

2008-01-25T06:50:12Z

Fix up a number of coding style issues in the drivers/base/ directory that have annoyed me over the years. checkpatch.pl is now very happy. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Driver Core: add class iteration api

Driver core: change sysdev classes to use dynamic kobject names

2008-01-25T04:40:40Z

All kobjects require a dynamically allocated name now. We no longer need to keep track if the name is statically assigned, we can just unconditionally free() all kobject names on cleanup. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Kobject: rename kobject_init_ng() to kobject_init()

2008-01-25T04:40:38Z

Now that the old kobject_init() function is gone, rename kobject_init_ng() to kobject_init() to clean up the namespace. Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Kobject: rename kobject_add_ng() to kobject_add()

2008-01-25T04:40:38Z

Now that the old kobject_add() function is gone, rename kobject_add_ng() to kobject_add() to clean up the namespace. Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Driver core: convert block from raw kobjects to core devices

2008-01-25T04:40:36Z

This moves the block devices to /sys/class/block. It will create a flat list of all block devices, with the disks and partitions in one directory. For compatibility /sys/block is created and contains symlinks to the disks. /sys/class/block |-- sda -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda |-- sda1 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda/sda1 |-- sda10 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda/sda10 |-- sda5 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda/sda5 |-- sda6 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda/sda6 |-- sda7 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda/sda7 |-- sda8 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda/sda8 |-- sda9 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda/sda9 `-- sr0 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0/block/sr0 /sys/block/ |-- sda -> ../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda `-- sr0 -> ../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0/block/sr0 Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Kobject: convert drivers/base/class.c to use kobject_init/add_ng()

2008-01-25T04:40:30Z

This converts the code to use the new kobject functions, cleaning up the logic in doing so. Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
