* driver core: move knode_bus into private structureGreg Kroah-Hartman2009-03-24
| | | | | | | | | Nothing outside of the driver core should ever touch knode_bus, so move it out of the public eye. Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* driver-core: do not register a driver with bus_type not registeredDave Young2009-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the bus_type is not registerd, driver_register to that bus will cause oops. I found this bug when test built-in usb serial drivers (ie. aircable driver) with 'nousb' cmdline params. In this patch: 1. set the bus->p=NULL when bus_register failed and unregisterd. 2. if bus->p is NULL, driver_register BUG_ON will be triggered.

* driver core: check bus->match without holding device lockMing Lei2009-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch moves bus->match out from driver_probe_device and does not hold device lock to check the match between a device and a driver. The idea has been verified by the commit 6cd495860901, which leads to a faster boot. But the commit 6cd495860901 has the following drawbacks: 1),only does the quick check in the path of __driver_attach->driver_probe_device, not in other paths; 2),for a matched device and driver, check the same match twice. It is a waste of cpu ,especially for some drivers with long device id table (eg. usb-storage driver). This patch adds a helper of driver_match_device to check the match in all paths, and testes the match only once.

* Revert "driver core: move knode_bus into private structure"Greg Kroah-Hartman2009-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit b9daa99ee533578e3f88231e7a16784dcb44ec42. Turns out that device_initialize shouldn't fail silently. This series needs to be reworked in order to get into proper shape.

It is not needed at all and can be removed. Note, we now have an empty release function for the driver structure. This is due to the fact that drivers are statically allocated in the system at this point in time, something which I want to change in the future.

* Driver core: udev triggered device-<>driver bindingKay Sievers2007-04-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We get two per-bus sysfs files: ls-l /sys/subsystem/usb drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2007-02-16 16:42 devices drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 0 2007-02-16 14:55 drivers -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2007-02-16 16:42 drivers_autoprobe --w------- 1 root root 4096 2007-02-16 16:42 drivers_probe The flag "drivers_autoprobe" controls the behavior of the bus to bind devices by default, or just initialize the device and leave it alone. The command "drivers_probe" accepts a bus_id and the bus tries to bind a driver to this device. Systems who want to control the driver binding with udev, switch off the bus initiated probing: echo 0 > /sys/subsystem/usb/drivers_autoprobe echo 0 > /sys/subsystem/pcmcia/drivers_autoprobe ... and initiate the probing with udev rules like: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{subsystem/drivers_probe}="$kernel" ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pcmcia", ATTR{subsystem/drivers_probe}="$kernel" ... Custom driver binding can happen in earlier rules by something like: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", \ ATTRS{idVendor}=="1234", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5678" \ ATTR{subsystem/drivers/<custom-driver>/bind}="$kernel" This is intended to solve the modprobe.conf mess with "install-rules", custom bind/unbind-scripts and all the weird things people invented over the years. It should also provide the functionality "libusual" was supposed to do. With udev, one can just write a udev rule to drive all USB-disks at the third port of USB-hub by the "ub" driver, and everything else by usb-storage. One can also instruct udev to bind different wireless drivers to identical cards - just selected by the pcmcia slot-number, and whatever ... To use the mentioned rules, it needs udev version 106, to be able to write ATTR{}="$kernel" to sysfs files. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

* Driver core: add notification of bus eventsBenjamin Herrenschmidt2006-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I finally did as you suggested and added the notifier to the struct bus_type itself. There are still problems to be expected is something attaches to a bus type where the code can hook in different struct device sub-classes (which is imho a big bogosity but I won't even try to argue that case now) but it will solve nicely a number of issues I've had so far. That also means that clients interested in registering for such notifications have to do it before devices are added and after bus types are registered. Fortunately, most bus types that matter for the various usage scenarios I have in mind are registerd at postcore_initcall time, which means I have a really nice spot at arch_initcall time to add my notifiers. There are 4 notifications provided. Device being added (before hooked to the bus) and removed (failure of previous case or after being unhooked from the bus), along with driver being bound to a device and about to be unbound. The usage I have for these are: - The 2 first ones are used to maintain a struct device_ext that is hooked to struct device.firmware_data. This structure contains for now a pointer to the Open Firmware node related to the device (if any), the NUMA node ID (for quick access to it) and the DMA operations pointers & iommu table instance for DMA to/from this device. For bus types I own (like IBM VIO or EBUS), I just maintain that structure directly from the bus code when creating the devices. But for bus types managed by generic code like PCI or platform (actually, of_platform which is a variation of platform linked to Open Firmware device-tree), I need this notifier. - The other two ones have a completely different usage scenario. I have cases where multiple devices and their drivers depend on each other. For example, the IBM EMAC network driver needs to attach to a MAL DMA engine which is a separate device, and a PHY interface which is also a separate device. They are all of_platform_device's (well, about to be with my upcoming patches) but there is no say in what precise order the core will "probe" them and instanciate the various modules. The solution I found for that is to have the drivers for emac to use multithread_probe, and wait for a driver to be bound to the target MAL and PHY control devices (the device-tree contains reference to the MAL and PHY interface nodes, which I can then match to of_platform_devices). Right now, I've been polling, but with that notifier, I can more cleanly wait (with a timeout of course).

* 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.
