[PATCH] kobject: quiet errors in kobject_add

2006-05-21T19:59:21Z

People don't like released kernels yelling at them, no matter how real the error might be. So only report it if CONFIG_KOBJECT_DEBUG is enabled. Sent on request of Andrew Morton. (akpm: should bring this back post-2.6.17) Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] sysfs: Allow sysfs attribute files to be pollable

2006-04-14T18:41:24Z

It works like this: Open the file Read all the contents. Call poll requesting POLLERR or POLLPRI (so select/exceptfds works) When poll returns, close the file and go to top of loop. or lseek to start of file and go back to the 'read'. Events are signaled by an object manager calling sysfs_notify(kobj, dir, attr); If the dir is non-NULL, it is used to find a subdirectory which contains the attribute (presumably created by sysfs_create_group). This has a cost of one int per attribute, one wait_queuehead per kobject, one int per open file. The name "sysfs_notify" may be confused with the inotify functionality. Maybe it would be nice to support inotify for sysfs attributes as well? This patch also uses sysfs_notify to allow /sys/block/md*/md/sync_action to be pollable Signed-off-by: Neil Brown Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] Kobject: provide better warning messages when people do stupid things

2006-03-20T21:42:59Z

Now that kobject_add() is used more than kobject_register() the kernel wasn't always letting people know that they were doing something wrong. This change fixes this. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] kobject: don't oops on null kobject.name

2006-02-06T20:17:17Z

kobject_get_path() will oops if one of the component names is NULL. Fix that by returning NULL instead of oopsing. Signed-off-by: Chuck Ebbert <76306.1226@compuserve.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] kobject_add() must have a valid name in order to succeed.

2006-02-06T20:17:17Z

So we might as well check to verify this, and let the user know that something is wrong if they didn't do it correctly, instead of oopsing later on in kobject_get_name() or somewhere else. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
