* Driver core: Constify struct sysfs_ops in struct kobj_typeEmese Revfy2010-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Constify struct sysfs_ops. This is part of the ops structure constification effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al. Benefits of this constification: * prevents modification of data that is shared (referenced) by many other structure instances at runtime * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional) modification attempts on archs that enforce read-only kernel data at runtime * potentially better optimized code as the compiler can assume that the const data cannot be changed * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata and therefore exclude them from false sharing Signed-off-by: Emese Revfy <re.emese@gmail.com> Acked-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Acked-by: Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com> Acked-by: Maciej Sosnowski <maciej.sosnowski@intel.com> Acked-by: Hans J.

* samples: mark {static|__init|__exit} for {init|exit} functionsQinghuang Feng2009-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | None of these (init|exit) functions is called from other functions which is outside the kernel module mechanism or kernel itself, so mark them as {static|__init|__exit}.

* kobject: should use kobject_put() in kset-exampleLi Zefan2008-07-22
| | | | | | | | | We should call kobject_put() instead of kfree() if kobject_init_and_add() returns an error, shouldn't we? Don't set up a bad example ;) Signed-off-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* kobject: add sample code for how to use ksets/ktypes/kobjectsGreg Kroah-Hartman2008-01-24
| | | | | | | | | This is a more complex example showing how to create a kset and a ktype and some default attributes for a group of kobjects. Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* kobject: add sample code for how to use kobjects in a simple manner.Greg Kroah-Hartman2008-01-24
This is a simple kobject module, showing how to use kobj_attributes in basic and more complex ways. Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
