debugfs: remove rmdir() non-empty complaint

2007-07-18T22:49:48+00:00

Hi,

This patch kills the pointless debugfs rmdir() printk() when called on a
non-empty directory. blktrace will sometimes have to call it a few times
when forcefully ending a trace, which polutes the log with pointless
warnings.

Rationale:

- It's more code to work-around this "problem" in the debugfs users, and
  you would have to add code to check for empty directories to do so (or
  assume that debugfs is using simple_ helpers, but that would be a
  layering violation).

- Other rmdir() implementations don't complain about something this
  silly.

remove "struct subsystem" as it is no longer needed

2007-05-03T01:57:59+00:00

We need to work on cleaning up the relationship between kobjects, ksets and
ktypes.  The removal of 'struct subsystem' is the first step of this,
especially as it is not really needed at all.

Thanks to Kay for fixing the bugs in this patch.

debugfs: Add debugfs_create_u64()

2007-04-27T17:57:31+00:00

I went to use this the other day, only to find it didn't exist.

It's a straight copy of the debugfs u32 code, then s/u32/u64/. A quick
test shows it seems to be working.

debugfs: Remove misleading comments.

2007-02-16T23:19:17+00:00

Just mention which error will be returned if debugfs is disabled. Callers
should be able to figure out themselves what they need to check.

debugfs: implement symbolic links

2007-02-16T23:19:17+00:00

debugfs: implement symbolic links

Implement a new function debugfs_create_symlink() which can be used
to create symbolic links in debugfs. This function can be useful
for people moving functionality from /proc to debugfs (e.g. the
gcov-kernel patch).

[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 6

2007-02-12T17:48:45+00:00

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.
