kobject: properly initialize ksets

2008-03-04T22:47:05Z

kset_initialize was calling kobject_init_internal() which didn't initialize the kobject as well as kobject_init() was. So have kobject_init() call kobject_init_internal() and move the logic to initalize the kobject there. Cc: Kay Sievers Cc: Hannes Reinecke Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Kobject: fix coding style issues in kobject c files

Clean up the kobject.c and kobject_uevent.c files to follow the proper coding style rules. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Driver core: change sysdev classes to use dynamic kobject names

2008-01-25T04:40:40Z

All kobjects require a dynamically allocated name now. We no longer need to keep track if the name is statically assigned, we can just unconditionally free() all kobject names on cleanup. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Kobject: remove kobject_unregister() as no one uses it anymore

2008-01-25T04:40:40Z

There are no in-kernel users of kobject_unregister() so it should be removed. Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Kobject: convert remaining kobject_unregister() to kobject_put()

2008-01-25T04:40:40Z

There is no need for kobject_unregister() anymore, thanks to Kay's kobject cleanup changes, so replace all instances of it with kobject_put(). Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Kobject: auto-cleanup on final unref

2008-01-25T04:40:39Z

We save the current state in the object itself, so we can do proper cleanup when the last reference is dropped. If the initial reference is dropped, the object will be removed from sysfs if needed, if an "add" event was sent, "remove" will be send, and the allocated resources are released. This allows us to clean up some driver core usage as well as allowing us to do other such changes to the rest of the kernel. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Kset: remove kset_add function

2008-01-25T04:40:39Z

No one is calling this anymore, so just remove it and hard-code the one internal-use of it. Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Kobject: remove kobject_register()

2008-01-25T04:40:39Z

The function is no longer used by anyone in the kernel, and it prevents the proper sending of the kobject uevent after the needed files are set up by the caller. kobject_init_and_add() can be used in its place. Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Kobject: rename kobject_init_ng() to kobject_init()

2008-01-25T04:40:38Z

Now that the old kobject_init() function is gone, rename kobject_init_ng() to kobject_init() to clean up the namespace. Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
