* [PATCH] Driver Core: Make dev_info and friends print the bus name if there ↵Alan Stern2006-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | is no driver This patch (as721) makes dev_info and related macros print the device's bus name if the device doesn't have a driver, instead of printing just a blank. If the device isn't on a bus either... well, then it does leave a blank space. But it will be easier for someone else to change if they want.

* [PATCH] Driver core: allow struct device to have a dev_tGreg Kroah-Hartman2006-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | This is the first step in moving class_device to being replaced by struct device. It allows struct device to export a dev_t and makes it easy to dynamically create and destroy struct device as long as they are associated with a specific class.

| * [CLASS DEVICE]: add attribute_group creationStephen Hemminger2006-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend the support of attribute groups in class_device's to allow groups to be created as part of the registration process. This allows network device's to avoid race between registration and creating groups. Note that unlike attributes that are a property of the class object, the groups are a property of the class_device object. This is done because there are different types of network devices (wireless for example).

| * [PATCH] Driver core: add macros notice(), dev_notice()Tilman Schmidt2006-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Both usb.h and device.h have collections of convenience macros for printk() with the KERN_ERR, KERN_WARNING, and KERN_NOTICE severity levels. This patch adds macros for the KERN_NOTICE level which was so far uncatered for. These macros already exist privately in drivers/isdn/gigaset/gigaset.h (currently in the process of being submitted for the kernel tree) but they really belong with their brothers and sisters in include/linux/{device,usb}.h.

* [PATCH] Add bus_type probe, remove, shutdown methods.Russell King2006-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add bus_type probe, remove and shutdown methods to replace the corresponding methods in struct device_driver. This matches the way we handle the suspend/resume methods. Since the bus methods override the device_driver methods, warn if a device driver is registered whose methods will not be called. The long-term idea is to remove the device_driver methods entirely.

* [PATCH] DRIVER MODEL: Get rid of the obsolete tri-level suspend/resume callbacksRussell King2005-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In PM v1, all devices were called at SUSPEND_DISABLE level. Then all devices were called at SUSPEND_SAVE_STATE level, and finally SUSPEND_POWER_DOWN level. However, with PM v2, to maintain compatibility for platform devices, I arranged for the PM v2 suspend/resume callbacks to call the old PM v1 suspend/resume callbacks three times with each level in order so that existing drivers continued to work. Since this is obsolete infrastructure which is no longer necessary, we can remove it. Here's an (untested) patch to do exactly that.

* [PATCH] Driver Core: add the ability for class_device structures to be nestedGreg Kroah-Hartman2005-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows struct class_device to be nested, so that another struct class_device can be the parent of a new one, instead of only having the struct class be the parent. This will allow us to (hopefully) fix up the input and video class subsystem mess. But please people, don't go crazy and start making huge trees of class devices, you should only need 2 levels deep to get everything to work (remember to use a class_interface to get notification of a new class device being added to the system.) Oh, this also allows us to have the possibility of potentially, someday, moving /sys/block into /sys/class. The main hindrance is that pesky /dev numberspace issue...

The first thing to go wrong is that it will try to match a driver with a device already bound to one. In some cases (it appears with USB with drivers/usb/core/usb.c::usb_match_id()), some drivers will match a device based on the class type, so it would be common (especially for HID devices) to match a device that is already bound. The fun comes when ->probe() is called, it fails, then driver_probe_device() does this: dev->driver = NULL; Later on, that pointer could be be dereferenced without checking and cause hell to break loose. This problem could be nasty. It's very hardware dependent, since some devices could have a different set of matching qualifiers than others. Now, I don't quite see exactly where/how you were getting that crash. You're dereferencing bad memory, but I'm not sure which pointer was bad and where it came from, but it could have come from a couple of different places. The patch below will hopefully fix it all up for you. It's against 2.6.12-rc2-mm1, and does the following: - Move logic to driver_probe_device() and comments uncommon returns: 1 - If device is bound 0 - If device not bound, and no error error - If there was an error. - Move locking to caller of that function, since we want to lock a device for the entire time we're trying to bind it to a driver (to prevent against a driver being loaded at the same time). - Update __device_attach() and __driver_attach() to do that locking. - Check if device is already bound in __driver_attach() - Update the converse device_release_driver() so it locks the device around all of the operations. - Mark driver_probe_device() as static and remove export. It's an internal function, it should stay that way, and there are no other callers. If there is ever a need to export it, we can audit it as necessary. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>

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.
