dev_set_name: fix missing kernel-doc

2008-06-11T23:50:40Z

Fix kernel-doc for new dev_set_name() function: Warning(lin2626-rc5//drivers/base/core.c:767): No description found for parameter 'fmt' Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver-core: prepare for 2.6.27 api change by adding dev_set_name

2008-05-30T04:10:01Z

Create the dev_set_name function now so that various subsystems can start changing over to it before other changes in 2.6.27 will make it compulsory. Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Driver core: add device_create_vargs and device_create_drvdata

2008-05-20T20:31:53Z

We want to have the drvdata field set properly when creating the device as sysfs callbacks can assume it is present and it can race the later setting of this field. So, create two new functions, deviec_create_vargs() and device_create_drvdata() that take this new field. device_create_drvdata() will go away in 2.6.27 as the drvdata field will just be moved to the device_create() call as it should be.

sysfs: remove error messages for -EEXIST case

2008-05-15T05:34:16Z

It is possible that the entry in sysfs already exists, one case of this is when a network device is renamed to bonding_masters. Anyway, in this case the proper error path is for device_rename to return an error code, not to generate bogus backtrace and errors. Also, to avoid possible races, the create link should be done before the remove link. This makes a device rename atomic operation like other renames.

driver core: try parent numa_node at first before using default

2008-04-26T21:41:04Z

in the device_add, we try to use use parent numa_node. need to make sure pci root bus's bridge device numa_node is set. then we could use device->numa_node direclty for all device. and don't need to call pcibus_to_node(). Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

PM: Remove destroy_suspended_device()

2008-04-20T02:10:28Z

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. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Driver core: Call device_pm_add() after bus_add_device() in device_add()

2008-04-20T02:10:24Z

Include dpm_sysfs_add() into device_pm_add(), in analogy with device_pm_remove(), and modify device_add() to call the latter after bus_add_device(), to avoid situations in which the PM core may attempt to suspend a device the registration of which has not been successful.
