2014-05-27driver core: Move driver_data back to struct deviceJean Delvare
Having to allocate memory as part of dev_set_drvdata() is a problem because that memory may never get freed if the device itself is not created. So move driver_data back to struct device. This is a partial revert of commit b4028437. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2013-12-29ACPI / hotplug / driver core: Handle containers in a special wayRafael J. Wysocki
ACPI container devices require special hotplug handling, at least on some systems, since generally user space needs to carry out system-specific cleanup before it makes sense to offline devices in the container. However, the current ACPI hotplug code for containers first attempts to offline devices in the container and only then it notifies user space of the container offline. Moreover, after commit 202317a573b2 (ACPI / scan: Add acpi_device objects for all device nodes in the namespace), ACPI device objects representing containers are present as long as the ACPI namespace nodes corresponding to them are present, which may be forever, even if the container devices are physically detached from the system (the return values of the corresponding _STA methods change in those cases, but generally the namespace nodes themselves are still there). Thus it is useful to introduce entities representing containers that will go away during container hot-unplug. The goal of this change is to address both the above issues. The idea is to create a "companion" container system device for each of the ACPI container device objects during the initial namespace scan or on a hotplug event making the container present. That system device will be unregistered on container removal. A new bus type for container devices is added for this purpose, because device offline and online operations need to be defined for them. The online operation is a trivial function that is always successful and the offline uses a callback pointed to by the container device's offline member. For ACPI containers that callback simply walks the list of ACPI device objects right below the container object (its children) and checks if all of their physical companion devices are offline. If that's not the case, it returns -EBUSY and the container system devivce cannot be put offline. Consequently, to put the container system device offline, it is necessary to put all of the physical devices depending on its ACPI companion object offline beforehand. Container system devices created for ACPI container objects are initially online. They are created by the container ACPI scan handler whose hotplug.demand_offline flag is set. That causes acpi_scan_hot_remove() to check if the companion container system device is offline before attempting to remove an ACPI container or any devices below it. If the check fails, a KOBJ_CHANGE uevent is emitted for the container system device in question and user space is expected to offline all devices below the container and the container itself in response to it. Then, user space can finalize the removal of the container with the help of its ACPI device object's eject attribute in sysfs.

2013-03-12driver/base: implement subsys_virtual_register()Tejun Heo
Kay tells me the most appropriate place to expose workqueues to userland would be /sys/devices/virtual/workqueues/WQ_NAME which is symlinked to /sys/bus/workqueue/devices/WQ_NAME and that we're lacking a way to do that outside of driver core as virtual_device_parent() isn't exported and there's no inteface to conveniently create a virtual subsystem. This patch implements subsys_virtual_register() by factoring out subsys_register() from subsys_system_register() and using it with virtual_device_parent() as the origin directory. It's identical to subsys_system_register() other than the origin directory but we aren't gonna restrict the device names which should be used under it. This will be used to expose workqueue attributes to userland. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org>
2012-03-08driver core: move the deferred probe pointer into the private areaGreg Kroah-Hartman

2012-03-08drivercore: Add driver probe deferral mechanismGrant Likely
Allow drivers to report at probe time that they cannot get all the resources required by the device, and should be retried at a later time. This should completely solve the problem of getting devices initialized in the right order. Right now this is mostly handled by mucking about with initcall ordering which is a complete hack, and doesn't even remotely handle the case where device drivers are in modules. This approach completely sidesteps the issues by allowing driver registration to occur in any order, and any driver can request to be retried after a few more other drivers get probed. v4: - Integrate Manjunath's addition of a separate workqueue - Change -EAGAIN to -EPROBE_DEFER for drivers to trigger deferral - Update comment blocks to reflect how the code really works v3: - Hold off workqueue scheduling until late_initcall so that the bulk of driver probes are complete before we start retrying deferred devices. - Tested with simple use cases. Still needs more testing though. Using it to get rid of the gpio early_initcall madness, or to replace the ASoC internal probe deferral code would be ideal. v2: - added locking so it should no longer be utterly broken in that regard - remove device from deferred list at device_del time. - Still completely untested with any real use case, but has been boot tested.

2011-12-14driver-core: implement 'sysdev' functionality for regular devices and busesKay Sievers
All sysdev classes and sysdev devices will converted to regular devices and buses to properly hook userspace into the event processing. There is no interesting difference between a 'sysdev' and 'device' which would justify to roll an entire own subsystem with different userspace export semantics. Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure from sysdev devices, which are currently not properly available. Every converted sysdev class will create a regular device with the class name in /sys/devices/system and all registered devices will becom a children of theses devices. For compatibility reasons, the sysdev class-wide attributes are created at this parent device. (Do not copy that logic for anything new, subsystem- wide properties belong to the subsystem, not to some fake parent device created in /sys/devices.) Every sysdev driver is implemented as a simple subsystem interface now, and no longer called a driver. After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.

2009-09-15Driver Core: devtmpfs - kernel-maintained tmpfs-based /devKay Sievers
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.

2009-09-15Driver core: add new device to bus's list before probingAlan Stern
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.

2009-03-24driver core: check bus->match without holding device lockMing Lei
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.

2007-05-02remove "struct subsystem" as it is no longer neededGreg Kroah-Hartman
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. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
