kobject: check for duplicate names in kobject_rename

2007-10-31T04:52:33Z

This should catch any duplicate names before we try to tell sysfs to rename the object. This happens a lot with older versions of udev and the network rename scripts. Cc: David Miller Cc: Kay Sievers Cc: Rafael J. Wysocki Cc: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

kobject: update the copyrights

2007-10-12T21:51:12Z

I've been hacking on these files for a while now, might as well make it official... Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver core: remove subsystem_init()

2007-10-12T21:51:11Z

There is only one user of it, and it is only a wrapper for kset_init(). Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sysfs: move sysfs file poll implementation to sysfs_open_dirent

2007-10-12T21:51:11Z

Sysfs file poll implementation is scattered over sysfs and kobject. Event numbering is done in sysfs_dirent but wait itself is done on kobject. This not only unecessarily bloats both kobject and sysfs_dirent but is also buggy - if a sysfs_dirent is removed while there still are pollers, the associaton betwen the kobject and sysfs_dirent breaks and kobject may be freed with the pollers still sleeping on it. This patch moves whole poll implementation into sysfs_open_dirent. Each time a sysfs_open_dirent is created, event number restarts from 1 and pollers sleep on sysfs_open_dirent. As event sequence number is meaningless without any open file and pollers should have open file and thus sysfs_open_dirent, this ephemeral event counting works and is a saner implementation. This patch fixes the dnagling sleepers bug and reduces the sizes of kobject and sysfs_dirent by one pointer. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Acked-by: Cornelia Huck Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sysfs: Remove first pass at shadow directory support

2007-10-12T21:51:03Z

While shadow directories appear to be a good idea, the current scheme of controlling their creation and destruction outside of sysfs appears to be a locking and maintenance nightmare in the face of sysfs directories dynamically coming and going. Which can now occur for directories containing network devices when CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is not set. This patch removes everything from the initial shadow directory support that allowed the shadow directory creation to be controlled at a higher level. So except for a few bits of sysfs_rename_dir everything from commit b592fcfe7f06c15ec11774b5be7ce0de3aa86e73 is now gone. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

kobject: remove the static array for the name

2007-10-12T21:51:02Z

Due to historical reasons, struct kobject contained a static array for the name, and a dynamic pointer in case the name got bigger than the array. That's just dumb, as people didn't always know which variable to reference, even with the accessor for the kobject name. This patch removes the static array, potentially saving a lot of memory as the majority of kobjects do not have a very long name. Thanks to Kay for the idea to do this.

Driver core: remove subsys_get()

2007-10-12T21:51:01Z

There are no more subsystems, it's a kset now so remove the function and the only two users, which are in the driver core. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
