driver core: introduce device_set_driver() helper

2025-04-15T15:04:35Z

In preparation to closing a race when reading driver pointer in dev_uevent() code, instead of setting device->driver pointer directly introduce device_set_driver() helper.

Merge tag 'driver-core-6.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

2024-09-27T15:48:37Z

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH: "Here is a small set of patches for the driver core code for 6.12-rc1. This set is the one that caused the most delay on my side, due to lots of last-minute reports of problems in the async shutdown feature that was added. In the end, I've reverted all of the patches in that series so we are back to "normal" and the patch set is being reworked for the next merge window. Other than the async shutdown patches that were reverted, included in here are: - minor driver core cleanups - minor driver core bus and class api cleanups and simplifications for some callbacks - some const markings of structures - other even more minor cleanups All of these, including the last minute reverts, have been in linux-next, but all of the reports of problems in linux-next were before the reverts happened.

driver core: Trivially simplify ((struct device_private *)curr)->device->p to @curr

Trivially simplify ((struct device_private *)curr)->device->p to @curr in deferred_devs_show() since both are same. Signed-off-by: Zijun Hu Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240908-trivial_simpli-v1-1-53e0f1363299@quicinc.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

platform: Add test managed platform_device/driver APIs

2024-07-29T22:33:12Z

Introduce KUnit resource wrappers around platform_driver_register(), platform_device_alloc(), and platform_device_add() so that test authors can register platform drivers/devices from their tests and have the drivers/devices automatically be unregistered when the test is done. This makes test setup code simpler when a platform driver or platform device is needed. Add a few test cases at the same time to make sure the APIs work as intended.

driver core: make [device_]driver_attach take a const *

2024-06-20T10:51:42Z

Change device_driver_attach() and driver_attach() to take a const * to struct device driver as neither of them modify the structure at all. Also, for some odd reason, drivers/dma/idxd/compat.c had a duplicate external reference to device_driver_attach(), so remove that to fix up the build, it should never have had that there in the first place.

driver core: mark async_driver as a const *

2024-06-13T14:44:00Z

Within struct device_private, mark the async_driver * as const as it is never modified. This requires some internal-to-the-driver-core functions to also have their parameters marked as constant, and there is one place where we cast _back_ from the const pointer to a real one, as the driver core still wants to modify the structure in a number of remaining places.

driver core: make driver_detach() take a const *

2024-06-13T14:43:54Z

driver_detach() does not modify the driver itself, so make the pointer constant. In doing so, the function driver_allows_async_probing() also needs to be changed so that the pointer type passes through to that function properly. Cc: Rafael J.

device: core: Log warning for devices pending deferred probe on timeout

2024-03-07T22:10:31Z

Once the deferred probe timeout has elapsed it is very likely that the devices that are still deferring probe won't ever be probed. Therefore log the defer probe pending reason at the warning level instead to bring attention to the issue. Signed-off-by: "Nícolas F. R. A.
