| * sysfs: remove error messages for -EEXIST caseStephen Hemminger2008-05-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is possible that the entry in sysfs already exists, one case of this is when a network device is renamed to bonding_masters. Anyway, in this case the proper error path is for device_rename to return an error code, not to generate bogus backtrace and errors. Also, to avoid possible races, the create link should be done before the remove link. This makes a device rename atomic operation like other renames.

* | Driver core: add device_create_vargs and device_create_drvdataGreg Kroah-Hartman2008-05-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We want to have the drvdata field set properly when creating the device as sysfs callbacks can assume it is present and it can race the later setting of this field. So, create two new functions, deviec_create_vargs() and device_create_drvdata() that take this new field. device_create_drvdata() will go away in 2.6.27 as the drvdata field will just be moved to the device_create() call as it should be.

* mm: Add NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP counterMiklos Szeredi2008-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fuse will use temporary buffers to write back dirty data from memory mappings (normal writes are done synchronously). This is needed, because there cannot be any guarantee about the time in which a write will complete. By using temporary buffers, from the MM's point if view the page is written back immediately. If the writeout was due to memory pressure, this effectively migrates data from a full zone to a less full zone. This patch adds a new counter (NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP) for the number of pages used as temporary buffers.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After 2.6.24 there was a plan to make the PM core acquire all device semaphores during a suspend/hibernation to protect itself from concurrent operations involving device objects. That proved to be too heavy-handed and we found a better way to achieve the goal, but before it happened, we had introduced the functions device_pm_schedule_removal() and destroy_suspended_device() to allow drivers to "safely" destroy a suspended device and we had adapted some drivers to use them. Now that these functions are no longer necessary, it seems reasonable to remove them and modify their users to use the normal device unregistration instead. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

In that case, since the new device (the child) is added to dpm_active after its parent, the PM core will attempt to suspend it after the parent, which is wrong. Introduce a new member of struct dev_pm_info, called 'sleeping', and use it to check if the parent of the device being added to dpm_active has been suspended, in which case the device registration fails. Also, use 'sleeping' for checking if the ordering of devices on dpm_active is correct. Introduce variable 'all_sleeping' that will be set to 'true' once all devices have been suspended and make new device registrations fail until 'all_sleeping' is reset to 'false', in order to avoid having unsuspended devices around while the system is going into a sleep state. Remove pm_sleep_rwsem which is not necessary any more. Special thanks to Alan Stern for discussions and suggestions that lead to the creation of this patch. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* [SCSI] transport_class: BUG if we can't release the attribute containerJames Bottomley2008-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Every current transport class calls transport_container_release but ignores the return value. This is catastrophic if it returns an error because the containers are part of a global list and the next action of almost every transport class is to free the memory used by the container. Fix this by making transport_container_release a void, but making it BUG if attribute_container_release returns an error ... this catches the root cause of a system panic much earlier. If we don't do this, we get an eventual BUG when the attribute container list notices the corruption caused by the freed memory it's still referencing.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Coverity checker spotted that we leak the storage allocated to 'name' in int driver_add_kobj(). The leak looks legit to me - this is the code : int driver_add_kobj(struct device_driver *drv, struct kobject *kobj, const char *fmt, ...) { va_list args; char *name; int ret; va_start(args, fmt); name = kvasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, fmt, args); ^^^^^^^^ This dynamically allocates space... va_end(args); if (!name) return -ENOMEM; return kobject_add(kobj, &drv->p->kobj, "%s", name); ^^^^^^^^ This neglects to free the space allocated } Inside kobject_add() a copy of 'name' will be made and used. As far as I can see, Coverity is correct in flagging this as a leak, but I'd like some configmation before the patch is applied. This should fix it.

* drivers: fix dma_get_required_maskJames Bottomley2008-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a bug in the current implementation of dma_get_required_mask() where it ands the returned mask with the current device mask. This rather defeats the purpose if you're using the call to determine what your mask should be (since you will at that time have the default DMA_32BIT_MASK). This bug results in any driver that uses this function *always* getting a 32 bit mask, which is wrong. Fix by removing the and with dev->dma_mask.

* sysdev: fix problem with sysdev_class being re-registeredGreg Kroah-Hartman2008-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to initialize the kobject for a sysdev_class as it could have been recycled (stupid static kobjects...) We also do the same thing in case sysdev devices are being re-registered. Thanks to Balaji Rao <balajirrao@gmail.com> for pointing out the problem.

* Driver core: Fix cleanup when failing device_add().Cornelia Huck2008-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Driver core: Fix cleanup when failing device_add(). - Don't call cleanup_device_parent() if we didn't call setup_parent(). - dev->kobj.parent may be NULL when cleanup_device_parent() is called, so we need to handle glue_dir == NULL in cleanup_glue_dir().

* PM: Do not acquire device semaphores upfront during suspendRafael J. Wysocki2008-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the code that acquires all device semaphores from the suspend code path as it causes multiple problems to appear (most notably, http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10030) and revert the change introduced by commit 4145ed6dc597a9bea5f6ae8c574653b2de10620f depending on the code being removed. Remove pm_sleep_lock()/pm_sleep_unlock() from device_add() to avoid the issue reported at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9874.
