device create: char: convert device_create_drvdata to device_create

2008-10-16T16:24:42Z

Now that device_create() has been audited, rename things back to the original call to be sane. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ip2: avoid add_timer with pending timer

2008-10-13T16:51:39Z

add_timer() is not supposed to be called when the timer is pending. ip2 driver attempts to avoid that condition by setting and resetting a flag (TimerOn) in timer function. But there is some gap between add_timer() and setting TimerOn. This patch fix this problem by using mod_timer() and remove TimerOn which has been unnecessary by this change.

ip2: init/deinit cleanup

2008-10-13T16:51:39Z

Cleanup of module_init/exit: - mostly whitespace - remove empty functions - replace c++ comments - remove useless prints (module loaded, unloaded) - mark the calls as __exit and __init - use break; and return; to save some indent levels after it - note resource leakage It's still mess, but now it's readable.

ip2: cleanup globals

- do not init .bss zeroed data to zero again (by memset or explicit assignment) - use char [] instead of char * for string constants Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Char: merge ip2main and ip2base

2008-10-13T16:51:39Z

It's pretty useless to have one setup() function separated along with module_init() which only calls a function from ip2main anyway. Get rid of ip2base. Remove also checks of always-true now. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

device create: char: convert device_create to device_create_drvdata

2008-07-22T04:54:41Z

device_create() is race-prone, so use the race-free device_create_drvdata() instead as device_create() is going away. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: Ldisc revamp

2008-07-21T00:12:34Z

Move the line disciplines towards a conventional ->ops arrangement. For the moment the actual 'tty_ldisc' struct in the tty is kept as part of the tty struct but this can then be changed if it turns out that when it all settles down we want to refcount ldiscs separately to the tty. Pull the ldisc code out of /proc and put it with our ldisc code. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
