| * Driver core: Don't call put methods while holding a spinlockAlan Stern2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The klist utility routines currently call _put methods while holding a spinlock. This is of course illegal; a put routine could try to unregister a device and hence need to sleep. No problems have arisen until now because in many cases klist removals were done synchronously, so the _put methods were never actually used. In other cases we may simply have been lucky. This patch (as784) reworks the klist routines so that _put methods are called only _after_ the klist's spinlock has been released.

| * Driver core: Remove unneeded routines from driver coreAlan Stern2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as783) simplifies the driver core slightly by removing four unnecessary _get and _put methods. It is vital that when a driver is removed from its bus's klist of registered drivers, or when a device is removed from a driver's klist of bound devices, that the klist updates complete synchronously. Otherwise the kernel might try binding an unregistered driver to a newly-registered device, or adding a device to the klist for a new driver before it has been removed from the old driver's klist. Since the removals must be synchronous, they don't need to update any reference counts. Hence the _get and _put methods can be dispensed with.

| * Driver core: Fix potential deadlock in driver coreAlan Stern2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a potential deadlock in the driver core. It boils down to the fact that bus_remove_device() calls klist_remove() instead of klist_del(), thereby waiting until the reference count of the klist_node in the bus's klist of devices drops to 0. The refcount can't reach 0 so long as a modprobe process is trying to bind a new driver to the device being removed, by calling __driver_attach(). The problem is that __driver_attach() tries to acquire the device's parent's semaphore, but the caller of bus_remove_device() is quite likely to own that semaphore already. It isn't sufficient just to replace klist_remove() with klist_del(). Doing so runs the risk that the device would remain on the bus's klist of devices for some time, and so could be bound to another driver even after it was unregistered. What's needed is a new way to distinguish whether or not a device is registered, based on a criterion other than whether its klist_node is linked into the bus's klist of devices. That way driver binding can fail when the device is unregistered, even if it is still linked into the klist. This patch (as782) implements the solution, by adding a new bitflag to indiate when a struct device is registered, by testing the flag before allowing a driver to bind a device, and by changing the definition of the device_is_registered() inline.

| * PCI: enable driver multi-threaded probeGreg Kroah-Hartman2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This provides a build and run-time option to turn on multhreaded probe for all PCI drivers. It can cause bad problems on multi-processor machines that take a while to find their root disks, and play havoc on machines that don't use persistant device names for block or network devices. But it can cause speedups on some machines, my tiny laptop's boot goes up by 0.4 seconds, and my desktop boots up several seconds faster. Use at your own risk!!!

| * Driver Core: add ability for drivers to do a threaded probeGreg Kroah-Hartman2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the infrastructure for drivers to do a threaded probe, and waits at init time for all currently outstanding probes to complete. A new kernel thread will be created when the probe() function for the driver is called, if the multithread_probe bit is set in the driver saying it can support this kind of operation. I have tested this with USB and PCI, and it works, and shaves off a lot of time in the boot process, but there are issues with finding root boot disks, and some USB drivers assume that this can never happen, so it is currently not enabled for any bus type. Individual drivers can enable this right now if they wish, and bus authors can selectivly turn it on as well, once they determine that their subsystem will work properly with it.

| * Driver core: add ability for classes to handle devices properlyGreg Kroah-Hartman2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds two new callbacks to the class structure: int (*dev_uevent)(struct device *dev, char **envp, int num_envp, char *buffer, int buffer_size); void (*dev_release)(struct device *dev); And one pointer: struct device_attribute * dev_attrs; which all corrispond with the same thing as the "normal" class devices do, yet this is for when a struct device is bound to a class. Someday soon, struct class_device will go away, and then the other fields in this structure can be removed too. But this is necessary in order to get the transition to work properly. Tested out on a network core patch that converted it to use struct device instead of struct class_device. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
| * Driver core: allow devices in classes to have no parentGreg Kroah-Hartman2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes an oops when a device is attached to a class, yet has no "parent" device. An example of this would be the "lo" device in the network core. We should create a "virtual" subdirectory under /sys/devices/ for these, but no one seems to agree on a proper name for it yet... Oh, and update my copyright on the driver core. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
