mm: switch node meminfo Active & Inactive pages to Kbytes

2008-07-04T17:40:09Z

There is a bug in the output of /sys/devices/system/node/node[n]/meminfo where the Active and Inactive values are in pages instead of Kbytes. Looks like this occurred back in 2.6.20 when the code was changed over to use node_page_state(). Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

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.

Clean up 'print_fn_descriptor_symbol()' types

2008-05-16T00:50:37Z

Everybody wants to pass it a function pointer, and in fact, that is what you _must_ pass it for it to make sense (since it knows that ia64 and ppc64 use descriptors for function pointers and fetches the actual address from there). So don't make the argument be a 'unsigned long' and force everybody to add a cast. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

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.
