* PM: Remove sysdev suspend, resume and shutdown operationsRafael J. Wysocki2011-05-111-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | Since suspend, resume and shutdown operations in struct sysdev_class and struct sysdev_driver are not used any more, remove them. Also drop sysdev_suspend(), sysdev_resume() and sysdev_shutdown() used for executing those operations and modify all of their users accordingly. This reduces kernel code size quite a bit and reduces its complexity. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* driver-core: merge private parts of class and busKay Sievers2010-11-171-37/+25
| | | | | | | | | As classes and busses are pretty much the same thing, and we want to merge them together into a 'subsystem' in the future, let us share the same private data parts to make that merge easier.

* Driver Core: devtmpfs - kernel-maintained tmpfs-based /devKay Sievers2009-09-151-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Devtmpfs lets the kernel create a tmpfs instance called devtmpfs very early at kernel initialization, before any driver-core device is registered. Every device with a major/minor will provide a device node in devtmpfs. Devtmpfs can be changed and altered by userspace at any time, and in any way needed - just like today's udev-mounted tmpfs. Unmodified udev versions will run just fine on top of it, and will recognize an already existing kernel-created device node and use it. The default node permissions are root:root 0600. Proper permissions and user/group ownership, meaningful symlinks, all other policy still needs to be applied by userspace. If a node is created by devtmps, devtmpfs will remove the device node when the device goes away. If the device node was created by userspace, or the devtmpfs created node was replaced by userspace, it will no longer be removed by devtmpfs. If it is requested to auto-mount it, it makes init=/bin/sh work without any further userspace support. /dev will be fully populated and dynamic, and always reflect the current device state of the kernel. With the commonly used dynamic device numbers, it solves the problem where static devices nodes may point to the wrong devices. It is intended to make the initial bootup logic simpler and more robust, by de-coupling the creation of the inital environment, to reliably run userspace processes, from a complex userspace bootstrap logic to provide a working /dev.

* Driver core: move dev_get/set_drvdata to drivers/base/dd.cGreg Kroah-Hartman2009-09-151-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | No one should directly access the driver_data field, so remove the field and make it private. We dynamically create the private field now if it is needed, to handle drivers that call get/set before they are registered with the driver core. Also update the copyright notices on these files while we are there. Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* Driver core: add new device to bus's list before probingAlan Stern2009-09-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as1271) affects when new devices get linked into their bus's list of devices. Currently this happens after probing, and it doesn't happen at all if probing fails. Clearly this is wrong, because at that point quite a few symbolic links have already been created in sysfs. We are committed to adding the device, so it should be linked into the bus's list regardless. In addition, this needs to happen before the uevent announcing the new device gets issued. Otherwise user programs might try to access the device before it has been added to the bus. To fix both these problems, the patch moves the call to klist_add_tail() forward from bus_attach_device() to bus_add_device(). Since bus_attach_device() now does nothing but probe for drivers, it has been renamed to bus_probe_device(). And lastly, the kerneldoc is updated.

* driver core: check bus->match without holding device lockMing Lei2009-03-241-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch moves bus->match out from driver_probe_device and does not hold device lock to check the match between a device and a driver. The idea has been verified by the commit 6cd495860901, which leads to a faster boot. But the commit 6cd495860901 has the following drawbacks: 1),only does the quick check in the path of __driver_attach->driver_probe_device, not in other paths; 2),for a matched device and driver, check the same match twice. It is a waste of cpu ,especially for some drivers with long device id table (eg. usb-storage driver). This patch adds a helper of driver_match_device to check the match in all paths, and testes the match only once.

* driver-core: use klist for class device list and implement iteratorTejun Heo2008-10-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Iterating over entries using callback usually isn't too fun especially when the entry being iterated over can't be manipulated freely. This patch converts class->p->class_devices to klist and implements class device iterator so that the users can freely build their own control structure. The users are also free to call back into class code without worrying about locking. class_for_each_device() and class_find_device() are converted to use the new iterators, so their users don't have to worry about locking anymore either. Note: This depends on klist-dont-iterate-over-deleted-entries patch because class_intf->add/remove_dev() depends on proper synchronization with device removal.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement device resource management, in short, devres. A device driver can allocate arbirary size of devres data which is associated with a release function. On driver detach, release function is invoked on the devres data, then, devres data is freed. devreses are typed by associated release functions. Some devreses are better represented by single instance of the type while others need multiple instances sharing the same release function. Both usages are supported. devreses can be grouped using devres group such that a device driver can easily release acquired resources halfway through initialization or selectively release resources (e.g. resources for port 1 out of 4 ports). This patch adds devres core including documentation and the following managed interfaces. * alloc/free : devm_kzalloc(), devm_kzfree() * IO region : devm_request_region(), devm_release_region() * IRQ : devm_request_irq(), devm_free_irq() * DMA : dmam_alloc_coherent(), dmam_free_coherent(), dmam_declare_coherent_memory(), dmam_pool_create(), dmam_pool_destroy() * PCI : pcim_enable_device(), pcim_pin_device(), pci_is_managed() * iomap : devm_ioport_map(), devm_ioport_unmap(), devm_ioremap(), devm_ioremap_nocache(), devm_iounmap(), pcim_iomap_table(), pcim_iomap(), pcim_iounmap() Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a number of sparse warnings from the latest sparse snapshot being generated from the drivers/base build. The main culprits are due to the initialisation functions not being declared in a header file. Also, the firmware.c file should include <linux/device.h> to get the prototype of firmware_register() and firmware_unregister(). This patch moves the init function declerations from the init.c file to the base.h, and ensures it is included in all the relevant c sources. It also adds <linux/device.h> to the included headers for firmware.c. The patch does not solve all the sparse errors generated, but reduces the count significantly. drivers/base/core.c:161:1: warning: symbol 'devices_subsys' was not declared.

* [PATCH] driver core: Add the ability to bind drivers to devices from userspaceGreg Kroah-Hartman2005-06-291-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a single file, "bind", to the sysfs directory of every driver registered with the driver core. To bind a device to a driver, write the bus id of the device you wish to bind to that specific driver to the "bind" file (remember to not add a trailing \n). If that bus id matches a device on that bus, and it does not currently have a driver bound to it, the probe sequence will be initiated with that driver and device. Note, this requires that the driver itself be willing and able to accept that device (usually through a device id type table). This patch does not make it possible to override the driver's id table.
