[GIT PATCH] driver core patches for 2.6.33-git

[GIT PATCH] driver core patches for 2.6.33-git

[Greg KH]

Here are some 2.6.33-rc1 patches for the driver core:

Nothing major here:
	- fixes for devtmpfs warnings on lockdep and command line
	  options
	- documentation updates
	- api change to make attributes const.  This is added now so
	  that subsystem maintainers can queue up patches for .34.  This
	  was submitted now at the recommendation of Stephen Rothwell.
	- stable kernel rules clarification in the documentation

Please pull from:
	master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core-2.6.git/

All of these patches have been in the linux-next and mm trees.

The patches will be sent as a follow-on to this message to lkml for people
to see.

thanks,

greg k-h

[PATCH 01/10] devtmpfs: Convert dirlock to a mutex

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

devtmpfs has a rw_lock dirlock which serializes delete_path and
create_path.

This code was obviously never tested with the usual set of debugging
facilities enabled. In the dirlock held sections the code calls:

 - vfs functions which take mutexes
 - kmalloc(, GFP_KERNEL)

In both code pathes the might sleep warning triggers and spams dmesg.

Convert the rw_lock to a mutex. There is no reason why this needs to
be a rwlock.

[PATCH 02/10] vfs: get_sb_single() - do not pass options twice

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org>

Filesystem code usually destroys the option buffer while
parsing it. This leads to errors when the same buffer is
passed twice. In case we fill a new superblock do not call
remount.

This is needed to quite a warning that the debugfs code
causes every boot.

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <sebastian@breakpoint.cc>

- it is possible to submit patches for the stable queue without sending
  them directly stable@kernel.org. If the tag (Cc: stable@kernel.org) is
  available in the sign-off area than hpa's script will filter them into
  the stable mailbox once it hits Linus' tree.
- Patches which require others to be applied first can be also specified.

[PATCH 04/10] Driver core: device_attribute parameters can often be const*

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Phil Carmody <ext-phil.2.carmody@nokia.com>

Most device_attributes are const, and are begging to be
put in a ro section. However, the create and remove
file interfaces were failing to propagate the const promise
which the only functions they call offer.

[PATCH 07/10] Driver-core: Fix bogus 0 error return in device_add()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

If device_add() is called with a device which does not have dev->p set
up, then device_private_init() is called. If that succeeds, then the
error variable is set to 0. Now if the dev_name(dev) check further
down fails, then device_add() correctly terminates, but returns 0.
That of course lets the driver progress. If later another driver uses
this half set up device as parent then device_add() of the child
device explodes and renders sysfs completely unusable.

Set the error to -EINVAL if dev_name() check fails.

[PATCH 09/10] Driver core: export platform_device_register_data as a GPL symbol

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Michael Hennerich <michael.hennerich@analog.com>

This allows MFD's to register/bind drivers for their sub devices while
still being compiled as a module.

This breaks the historical behavior. Several users of get_sb_single() is
parse data only on ->remount_fs. Well, ok, I like new behavior actually.
But we need to convert to new behavior such users.

I've listed all possibly affected users up (if I'm not missing). This
means, using both data on ->fill_super and ->remount_fs is devtmpfs
only. And capifs, usbfs, devpts would be needed the patch.

arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/inode.c
	->fill_super
arch/s390/hypfs/inode.c
	->fill_super
drivers/isdn/capi/capifs.c
	->remount_fs
drivers/base/devtmpfs.c
	->fill_super
	->remount_fs
drivers/usb/core/inode.c
	->remount_fs
fs/devpts/inode.c
	->remount_fs

Currently, I'm working on other bugs, so I just attached quick fix for
regression.

Hmm, these filesystem are probably not going to overwrite their own
default options with their own special parameters to parse when they
allocate their superblock. That would be pretty weird, wouldn't it?
Seems they currently don't even pass "data" pointer around at that
time.

It's a bit different with tmpfs as we use it as a generic backend for
a special purpose filesystem.

What's the issue you are seeing, or have in mind?

Thanks,
Kay

Oops, I was missing that those all fs was using kern_mount(). Sorry for
noise.

I've now updated this series, fixing the 'default y' option for the
DEVTMPFS config options, and respun it on top of your tree as of a few
days ago.

Please pull from:
	master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core-2.6.git/

The updated diffstat and shortlog is below.

[GIT PATCH] driver core patches for 2.6.33-git

[Greg KH]

Here is the big driver core patchset for the 2.6.34 merge window.

The msi-laptop driver also got updates through this patch series, at the
blessing of the maintainer of that driver.

Please pull from:
	master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core-2.6.git/

All of these patches have been in the linux-next and mm trees for a
while.

The patches will be sent as a follow-on to this message to lkml for
people to see.

thanks,

greg k-h

[GIT PATCH] driver core patches for 2.6.33-git

[Greg KH]

Here is the big driver core merge for the 2.6.33-git tree.

Nothing major here:
	- sysfs reworks to make things nicer and fix minor problems
	- firmware api changes
	- devtmpfs tweaks to resolve minor issues reported by users.
	- platform devices early buffer changes
	- debugfs bugfix

Please pull from:
	master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core-2.6.git/

All of these patches have been in the linux-next and mm trees for a
while.

The patches will be sent as a follow-on to this message to lkml for people
to see.

thanks,

greg k-h
