* Driver core: Cleanup get_device_parent() in device_add() and device_move()Cornelia Huck2008-01-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make setup_parent() void as get_device_parent() will always return either a valid kobject or NULL. Introduce cleanup_glue_dir() to drop reference grabbed on "glue" directory by get_device_parent(). Use it for cleanup in device_move() and device_add() on errors.

* Modules: remove unneeded release functionGreg Kroah-Hartman2008-01-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that kobjects properly clean up their name structures, no matter if they have a release function or not, we can drop this empty module kobject release function too (it was needed prior to this because of the way we handled static kobject names, we based the fact that if a release function was present, then we could safely free the name string, now we are more smart about things and only free names we have previously set.)

* Kobject: auto-cleanup on final unrefKay Sievers2008-01-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Kobject: drop child->parent ref at unregistrationAlan Stern2008-01-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as1015) reverts changes that were made to the driver core about four years ago. The intent back then was to avoid certain kinds of invalid memory accesses by leaving kernel objects allocated as long as any of their children were still allocated. The original and correct approach was to wait only as long as any children were still _registered_; that's what this patch reinstates. This fixes a problem in the SCSI core made visible by the class_device to regular device conversion: A reference loop (scsi_device holds reference to request_queue, which is the child of a gendisk, which is the child of the scsi_device) prevents the data structures from being released, even though they are deregistered okay. It's possible that this change will cause a few bugs to surface, things that have been hidden for several years. They can be fixed easily enough by having the child device take an explicit reference to the parent whenever needed.

* Driver core: fix class glue dir cleanup logicKay Sievers2008-01-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Stern2008-01-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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-Hartman2008-01-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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-Hartman2008-01-24

* Driver core: move the driver specific module code into the driver coreGreg Kroah-Hartman2008-01-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
