driver core: fix small mem leak in driver_add_kobj()

2008-03-28T21:45:23Z

The Coverity checker spotted that we leak the storage allocated to 'name' in int driver_add_kobj(). The leak looks legit to me - this is the code : int driver_add_kobj(struct device_driver *drv, struct kobject *kobj, const char *fmt, ...) { va_list args; char *name; int ret; va_start(args, fmt); name = kvasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, fmt, args); ^^^^^^^^ This dynamically allocates space... va_end(args); if (!name) return -ENOMEM; return kobject_add(kobj, &drv->p->kobj, "%s", name); ^^^^^^^^ This neglects to free the space allocated } Inside kobject_add() a copy of 'name' will be made and used. As far as I can see, Coverity is correct in flagging this as a leak, but I'd like some configmation before the patch is applied. This should fix it.

drivers: fix dma_get_required_mask

2008-03-10T23:33:33Z

There's a bug in the current implementation of dma_get_required_mask() where it ands the returned mask with the current device mask. This rather defeats the purpose if you're using the call to determine what your mask should be (since you will at that time have the default DMA_32BIT_MASK). This bug results in any driver that uses this function *always* getting a 32 bit mask, which is wrong. Fix by removing the and with dev->dma_mask.

sysdev: fix problem with sysdev_class being re-registered

2008-03-10T23:33:32Z

We need to initialize the kobject for a sysdev_class as it could have been recycled (stupid static kobjects...) We also do the same thing in case sysdev devices are being re-registered.

Driver core: Fix cleanup when failing device_add().

2008-03-04T22:47:05Z

Driver core: Fix cleanup when failing device_add(). - Don't call cleanup_device_parent() if we didn't call setup_parent(). - dev->kobj.parent may be NULL when cleanup_device_parent() is called, so we need to handle glue_dir == NULL in cleanup_glue_dir().

driver core: Remove dpm_sysfs_remove() from error path of device_add()

2008-03-04T22:47:05Z

Since device_pm_remove(dev) calls dpm_sysfs_remove(dev), it's incorrect to call the latter after the former in the device_add() error path. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

PM: fix new mutex-locking bug in the PM core

2008-03-04T22:47:05Z

This patch (as1041) fixes a bug introduced by the acquire-all-device-semaphores reversion. The error pathway of dpm_suspend() fails to reacquire a mutex it should be holding. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

PM: Do not acquire device semaphores upfront during suspend

2008-03-04T22:47:05Z

Remove the code that acquires all device semaphores from the suspend code path as it causes multiple problems to appear (most notably, http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10030) and revert the change introduced by commit 4145ed6dc597a9bea5f6ae8c574653b2de10620f depending on the code being removed. Remove pm_sleep_lock()/pm_sleep_unlock() from device_add() to avoid the issue reported at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9874.
