* [PATCH] driver core: restore event order for device_add()Kay Sievers2005-05-23
| | | | | | | | | | | As a result of the split of the kobject-registration and the corresponding hotplug event, the order of events for device_add() has changed. This restores the old order, cause it confused some userspace applications.

* [PATCH] Driver Core: remove driver model detach_stateDavid Brownell2005-05-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The driver model has a "detach_state" mechanism that: - Has never been used by any in-kernel drive; - Is superfluous, since driver remove() methods can do the same thing; - Became buggy when the suspend() parameter changed semantics and type; - Could self-deadlock when called from certain suspend contexts; - Is effectively wasted documentation, object code, and headspace. This removes that "detach_state" mechanism; net code shrink, as well as a per-device saving in the driver model and sysfs.

* [PATCH] Driver Core: pm diagnostics update, check for errorsDavid Brownell2005-05-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch includes various tweaks in the messaging that appears during system pm state transitions: * Warn about certain illegal calls in the device tree, like resuming child before parent or suspending parent before child. This could happen easily enough through sysfs, or in some cases when drivers use device_pm_set_parent(). * Be more consistent about dev_dbg() tracing ... do it for resume() and shutdown() too, and never if the driver doesn't have that method. * Say which type of system sleep state is being entered. Except for the warnings, these only affect debug messaging.

* [PATCH] drivers/base/bus.c: fix iteration in driver_detach()Roman Kagan2005-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With 2.6.11 and 2.6.12-rc2 (and perhaps a few versions before) usb drivers for multi-interface devices, which do usb_driver_release_interface() in their disconnect(), make rmmod hang. It turns out to be due to a bug in drivers/base/bus.c:driver_detach(), that iterates over the list of attached devices with list_for_each_safe() under an assumption that device_release_driver() only releases the current device, while it may also call device_release_driver() for other devices on the same list. The following patch fixes it. Please consider applying. Signed-off-by: Roman Kagan <rkagan@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

* [PATCH] export platform_add_devicesRobert Schwebel2005-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | platform_add_devices can be used from within modules, so it should be exported. This can for example happen if you have hotpluggable firmware in an FPGA on a system on chip processor; in our case the FPGA is probed for devices and the FPGA base code registers the devices it has found with the kernel. (akpm: I think this is reasonable from a licensing POV: it's unlikely that anyone would be interested in merging such specialised modules into mainline, and it's a GPL export).

Here we add a TIMEOUT value to the hotplug environment of the firmware requesting event. I will adapt udevd not to wait for anything else, if it finds a TIMEOUT key.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
