* Driver core: fix class glue dir cleanup logicKay Sievers2008-01-241-112/+94
| | | | | | | | | | | | We should remove the glue directory between the class and the bus device _after_ we sent out the 'remove' event for the device, otherwise the parent relationship is no longer valid, and composing the path with deleted sysfs entries will not work.

* Driver core: fix race in __device_release_driverAlan Stern2008-01-241-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as1013) was suggested by David Woodhouse; it fixes a race in the driver core. If a device is unregistered at the same time as its driver is unloaded, the driver's code pages may be unmapped while the remove method is still running. The calls to get_driver() and put_driver() were intended to prevent this, but they don't work if the driver's module count has already dropped to 0. Instead, the patch keeps the device on the driver's list until after the remove method has returned. This forces the necessary synchronization to occur.

* Driver core: clean up debugging messagesGreg Kroah-Hartman2008-01-243-25/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The driver core debugging messages are a mess. This provides a unified message that makes them actually useful. The format for new kobject debug messages should be: driver/bus/class: 'OBJECT_NAME': FUNCTION_NAME: message.\n Note, the class code is not changed in this patch due to pending patches in my queue that this would conflict with. A later patch will clean them up. Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* Driver core: move the static kobject out of struct driverGreg Kroah-Hartman2008-01-247-74/+99
| | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the kobject, and a few other driver-core-only fields out of struct driver and into the driver core only. Now drivers can be safely create on the stack or statically (like they currently are.) Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* Driver core: move the driver specific module code into the driver coreGreg Kroah-Hartman2008-01-245-102/+104
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The module driver specific code should belong in the driver core, not in the kernel/ directory. So move this code. This is done in preparation for some struct device_driver rework that should be confined to the driver core code only. This also lets us keep from exporting these functions, as no external code should ever be calling it. Thanks to Andrew Morton for the !CONFIG_MODULES fix.

* Driver: add driver_add_kobj for looney iseries_veth driverGreg Kroah-Hartman2008-01-243-1/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The iseries driver wants to hang kobjects off of its driver, so, to preserve backwards compatibility, we need to add a call to the driver core to allow future changes to work properly. Hopefully no one uses this function in the future and the iseries_veth driver authors come to their senses so I can remove this hack...

* Infiniband: make ipath driver use default driver groups.Greg Kroah-Hartman2008-01-244-45/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make the ipath driver use the new driver functions so that it does not touch the sysfs portion of the driver structure. We also remove the redundant symlink from the device back to the driver, as it is already in the sysfs tree. Any userspace tools should be using the standard symlink, not some driver specific one.

| | | | | | | | | | | | The PCI bus should not be trying to declare its own attribute type. Especially as this code could never ever be called because the driver core overwrites the driver kobject type to be its own internal type. Delete all of this code as it was never being used and is not correct. Also update my copyright on the file while I'm touching things there. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

* driver core: remove fields from struct bus_typeGreg Kroah-Hartman2008-01-247-70/+104
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | struct bus_type is static everywhere in the kernel. This moves the kobject in the structure out of it, and a bunch of other private only to the driver core fields are now moved to a private structure. This lets us dynamically create the backing kobject properly and gives us the chance to be able to document to users exactly how to use the struct bus_type as there are no fields they can improperly access. Thanks to Kay for the build fixes on this patch. Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* driver core: add way to get to bus device klistGreg Kroah-Hartman2008-01-243-4/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows an easier way to get to the device klist associated with a struct bus_type (you have three to choose from...) This will make it easier to move these fields to be dynamic in a future patch. The only user of this is the PCI core which horribly abuses this interface to rearrange the order of the pci devices. This should be done using the existing bus device walking functions, but that's left for future patches. Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

* Kobject: the cris iop_fw_load.c code is brokenGreg Kroah-Hartman2008-01-241-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This code is really really really broken. So much so that it's almost impossible to fix with a simple patch, so just comment out the offending registration with the kobject core, and mark the driver as broken. The problem is that the code is trying to register a "raw" struct device, which is not allowed. struct device is only for use within the driver model. This is being done to try to use the firmware layer which wants a struct device. To properly fix this, use something easy, like a platform device, which is a struct device and can be used for this kind of thing.
