* driver model: constify attribute groupsDavid Brownell2009-09-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Let attribute group vectors be declared "const". We'd like to let most attribute metadata live in read-only sections... this is a start. Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* SCSI: convert struct class_device to struct deviceTony Jones2008-04-191-14/+14

* [SCSI] transport_class: BUG if we can't release the attribute containerJames Bottomley2008-04-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Every current transport class calls transport_container_release but ignores the return value. This is catastrophic if it returns an error because the containers are part of a global list and the next action of almost every transport class is to free the memory used by the container. Fix this by making transport_container_release a void, but making it BUG if attribute_container_release returns an error ... this catches the root cause of a system panic much earlier. If we don't do this, we get an eventual BUG when the attribute container list notices the corruption caused by the freed memory it's still referencing. Also made attribute_container_release __must_check as a reminder. Cc: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>
* [SCSI] attribute_container: update to use the group interfaceJames Bottomley2008-01-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch is the beginning of moving the attribute_containers to use attribute groups exclusively. The attr element is now deprecated and will eventually be removed (along with all the hand rolled code for doing exactly what attribute groups do) when all the consumers are converted to attribute groups.

* Remove unnecessary includes of spinlock.h under include/linuxRobert P. J. Day2007-07-161-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | Remove the obviously unnecessary includes of <linux/spinlock.h> under the include/linux/ directory, and fix the couple errors that are introduced as a result of that.

* [SCSI] correct attribute_container list usageJames Bottomley2005-08-301-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | One of the changes in the attribute_container code in the scsi-misc tree was to add a lock to protect the list of devices per container. This, unfortunately, leads to potential scheduling while atomic problems if there's a sleep in the function called by a trigger. The correct solution is to use the kernel klist infrastructure instead which allows lockless traversal of a list. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
* [SCSI] add missing attribute container function prototypeJames Bottomley2005-08-281-0/+1
| | | | | | | | attribute_container_classdev_to_container is an exported function of the attribute_container.c file. However, there's no prototype for it. Now I actually want to use it, so add one. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
* [SCSI] correct transport class abstraction to work outside SCSIJames Bottomley2005-08-141-6/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I recently tried to construct a totally generic transport class and found there were certain features missing from the current abstract transport class. Most notable is that you have to hang the data on the class_device but most of the API is framed in terms of the generic device, not the class_device. These changes are two fold - Provide the class_device to all of the setup and configure APIs - Provide and extra API to take the device and the attribute class and return the corresponding class_device Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+73
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
