* driver core: add init_name to struct deviceGreg Kroah-Hartman2008-08-211-0/+1

* dev_printk(): constify the `dev' argumentJean Delvare2008-08-211-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Add const markings to dev_name and dev_driver_string to make it clear that dev_printk doesn't modify dev. This is a prerequisite to adding more const markings to other functions make it clearer, which functions can modify dev and which can't.

* sysfs: add /sys/dev/{char,block} to lookup sysfs path by major:minorDan Williams2008-07-211-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Why?: There are occasions where userspace would like to access sysfs attributes for a device but it may not know how sysfs has named the device or the path. For example what is the sysfs path for /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3160827AS_5MT004CK? With this change a call to stat(2) returns the major:minor then userspace can see that /sys/dev/block/8:32 links to /sys/block/sdc. What are the alternatives?: 1/ Add an ioctl to return the path: Doable, but sysfs is meant to reduce the need to proliferate ioctl interfaces into the kernel, so this seems counter productive. 2/ Use udev to create these symlinks: Also doable, but it adds a udev dependency to utilities that might be running in a limited environment like an initramfs. 3/ Do a full-tree search of sysfs.

* Introduce new top level suspend and hibernation callbacksRafael J. Wysocki2008-06-101-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce 'struct pm_ops' and 'struct pm_ext_ops' ('ext' meaning 'extended') representing suspend and hibernation operations for bus types, device classes, device types and device drivers. Modify the PM core to use 'struct pm_ops' and 'struct pm_ext_ops' objects, if defined, instead of the ->suspend(), ->resume(), ->suspend_late(), and ->resume_early() callbacks (the old callbacks will be considered as legacy and gradually phased out). The main purpose of doing this is to separate suspend (aka S2RAM and standby) callbacks from hibernation callbacks in such a way that the new callbacks won't take arguments and the semantics of each of them will be clearly specified. This has been requested for multiple times by many people, including Linus himself, and the reason is that within the current scheme if ->resume() is called, for example, it's difficult to say why it's been called (ie. is it a resume from RAM or from hibernation or a suspend/hibernation failure etc.?). The second purpose is to make the suspend/hibernation callbacks more flexible so that device drivers can handle more than they can within the current scheme. For example, some drivers may need to prevent new children of the device from being registered before their ->suspend() callbacks are executed or they may want to carry out some operations requiring the availability of some other devices, not directly bound via the parent-child relationship, in order to prepare for the execution of ->suspend(), etc. Ultimately, we'd like to stop using the freezing of tasks for suspend and therefore the drivers' suspend/hibernation code will have to take care of the handling of the user space during suspend/hibernation. That, in turn, would be difficult within the current scheme, without the new ->prepare() and ->complete() callbacks. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We want to have the drvdata field set properly when creating the device as sysfs callbacks can assume it is present and it can race the later setting of this field. So, create two new functions, deviec_create_vargs() and device_create_drvdata() that take this new field. device_create_drvdata() will go away in 2.6.27 as the drvdata field will just be moved to the device_create() call as it should be.

| * PM: Remove destroy_suspended_device()Rafael J. Wysocki2008-04-191-14/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After 2.6.24 there was a plan to make the PM core acquire all device semaphores during a suspend/hibernation to protect itself from concurrent operations involving device objects. That proved to be too heavy-handed and we found a better way to achieve the goal, but before it happened, we had introduced the functions device_pm_schedule_removal() and destroy_suspended_device() to allow drivers to "safely" destroy a suspended device and we had adapted some drivers to use them. Now that these functions are no longer necessary, it seems reasonable to remove them and modify their users to use the normal device unregistration instead. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* iommu sg merging: add device_dma_parameters structureFUJITA Tomonori2008-02-051-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | IOMMUs merges scatter/gather segments without considering a low level driver's restrictions. The problem is that IOMMUs can't access to the limitations because they are in request_queue. This patchset introduces a new structure, device_dma_parameters, including dma information. A pointer to device_dma_parameters is added to struct device. The bus specific structures (like pci_dev) includes device_dma_parameters. Low level drivers can use dma_set_max_seg_size to tell IOMMUs about the restrictions. We can move more dma stuff in struct device (like dma_mask) to struct device_dma_parameters later (needs some cleanups before that). This includes patches for all the IOMMUs that could merge sg (x86_64, ppc, IA64, alpha, sparc64, and parisc) though only the ppc patch was tested. The patches for other IOMMUs are only compile tested. This patch: Add a new structure, device_dma_parameters, including dma information. A pointer to device_dma_parameters is added to struct device. - there are only max_segment_size and segment_boundary_mask there but we'll move more dma stuff in struct device (like dma_mask) to struct device_dma_parameters later. segment_boundary_mask is not supported yet. - new accessors for the dma parameters are added. So we can easily change where to place struct device_dma_parameters in the future. - dma_get_max_seg_size returns 64K if dma_parms in struct device isn't set up properly. 64K is the default max_segment_size in the block layer.

It does no longer require the caller to do the proper buffer termination and size accounting, which is currently wrong in some places. It fixes a known bug where parts of the uevent environment are overwritten because of wrong index calculations. Many thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for finding bugs and improving the error handling.

Generally, sysdev_shutdown() should be called after the ACPI preparation for powering the system off. To make it happen, we can separate sysdev_shutdown() from device_shutdown() and call it directly wherever necessary. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* dev_vdbg(), available with -DVERBOSE_DEBUGDavid Brownell2007-07-181-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This defines a dev_vdbg() call, which is enabled with -DVERBOSE_DEBUG. When enabled, dev_vdbg() acts just like dev_dbg(). When disabled, it is a NOP ... just like dev_dbg() without -DDEBUG. The specific code was moved out of a USB patch, but lots of drivers have similar support. That is, code can now be written to use an additional level of debug output, selected at compile time. Many driver authors have found this idiom to be very useful. A typical usage model is for "normal" debug messages to focus on fault paths and not be very "chatty", so that those messages can be left on during normal operation without much of a performance or syslog load. On the other hand "verbose" messages would be noisy enough that they wouldn't normally be enabled; they might even affect timings enough to change system or driver behavior.

* driver-core: make devt_attr and uevent_attr staticTejun Heo2007-07-111-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | devt_attr and uevent_attr are either allocated dynamically with or embedded in device and class_device as they needed their owner field set to the module implementing the driver. Now that sysfs implements immediate disconnect and owner field removed from struct attribute, there is no reason to do this. Remove these attributes from [class_]device and use static attribute structures instead. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* fix hotplug for legacy platform driversDavid Brownell2007-05-081-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've had various reports of some legacy "probe the hardware" style platform drivers having nasty problems with hotplug support. The core issue is that those legacy drivers don't fully conform to the driver model. They assume a role that should be the responsibility of infrastructure code: creating device nodes. The "modprobe" step in hotplugging relies on drivers to have split those roles into different modules. The lack of this split causes the problems. When a driver creates nodes for devices that don't exist (sending a hotplug event), then exits (aborting one modprobe) before the "modprobe $MODALIAS" step completes (by failing, since it's in the middle of a modprobe), the result can be an endless loop of modprobe invocations ... badness. This fix uses the newish per-device flag controlling issuance of "add" events. (A previous version of this patch used a per-device "driver can hotplug" flag, which only scrubbed $MODALIAS from the environment rather than suppressing the entire hotplug event.) It also shrinks that flag to one bit, saving a word in "struct device". So the net of this patch is removing some nasty failures with legacy drivers, while retaining hotplug capability for the majority of platform drivers.
