Ashok Raj ad74557a49 [PATCH] introduce get_cpu_sysdev() to retrieve a sysfs entry for a cpu.
Some modules creating sysfs entries under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/
need to know the parent sysfs entry to make devices under them.  This will
just return the sysfs entry for a given cpu.

sysfs entries showing under each cpu sysfs can be easily created if such
entries can be created by registering a sysfs driver for cpuclass.  The
issue is when the entry is created the CPU may not be online, hence we
would need to defer the creation until the online notification comes.

Current users: cache entries for Intel CPU's and cpufreq subsystem.

Dave Hansen 0b0acbec1b [PATCH] memory hotplug: move section_mem_map alloc to sparse.c
This basically keeps up from having to extern __kmalloc_section_memmap().

The vaddr_in_vmalloc_area() helper could go in a vmalloc header, but that
header gets hard to work with, because it needs some arch-specific macros.
Just stick it in here for now, instead of creating another header.

This adds generic memory add/remove and supporting functions for memory
hotplug into a new file as well as a memory hotplug kernel config option.

David Brownell 979d5199fe [PATCH] root hub changes (lesser half)
This patch collects various small updates related to root hubs, to shrink
later patches which build on them.

  - For root hub suspend/resume support:
     * Make the existing usb_hcd_resume_root_hub() routine respect pmcore
       locking, exporting and using the dpm_runtime_resume() method.
     * Add a new usb_hcd_suspend_root_hub() to pair with that routine.
       (Essential to make OHCI autosuspend behave again...)
     * HC_SUSPENDED by itself only refers to the root hub's downstream ports.
       So let HCDs see root hub URBs unless the parent device is suspended.

  - Remove an assertion we no longer need (and now, also don't want).

  - Generic suspend/resume updates to work better with swsusp.
     * Ignore the FREEZE vs SUSPEND distinction for hardware; trying to
       use it breaks the swsusp snapshots it's supposed to help (sigh).
     * On resume, mark devices as resumed right away, but then
       do nothing else if the device is marked NOTATTACHED.

These changes shouldn't be very noticable by themselves.

David Brownell e9b7bd4ee7 [PATCH] one less word in struct device
This saves a word from "struct device" ... there's a refcounting mechanism
stub that's rather ineffective (the values are never even tested!), which
can safely be deleted.  With this patch it uses normal device refcounting,
so any potential users of the pm_parent mechanism will be more correct.
(That mechanism is actually unusable for now though; it does nothing.)

Russell King 9480e307cd [PATCH] DRIVER MODEL: Get rid of the obsolete tri-level suspend/resume callbacks
In PM v1, all devices were called at SUSPEND_DISABLE level.  Then
all devices were called at SUSPEND_SAVE_STATE level, and finally
SUSPEND_POWER_DOWN level.  However, with PM v2, to maintain
compatibility for platform devices, I arranged for the PM v2
suspend/resume callbacks to call the old PM v1 suspend/resume
callbacks three times with each level in order so that existing
drivers continued to work.

Since this is obsolete infrastructure which is no longer necessary,
we can remove it.  Here's an (untested) patch to do exactly that.

Ben Dooks a1bdc7aad8 [PATCH] drivers/base - fix sparse warnings
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.

Greg Kroah-Hartman 51d172d5f3 [PATCH] Driver Core: add the ability for class_device structures to be nested
This patch allows struct class_device to be nested, so that another
struct class_device can be the parent of a new one, instead of only
having the struct class be the parent.  This will allow us to
(hopefully) fix up the input and video class subsystem mess.

But please people, don't go crazy and start making huge trees of class
devices, you should only need 2 levels deep to get everything to work
(remember to use a class_interface to get notification of a new class
device being added to the system.)

Oh, this also allows us to have the possibility of potentially, someday,
moving /sys/block into /sys/class.  The main hindrance is that pesky
/dev numberspace issue...

David Brownell 0ac85241eb [PATCH] driver model wakeup flags
This is a refresh of an earlier patch to add "wakeup" support to the
PM core model.  This provides per-device bus-neutral control of the
use of wakeup events.

  * "struct device_pm_info" has two bits that are initialized as
    part of setting up the enclosing struct device:
      - "can_wakeup", reflecting hardware capabilities
      - "may_wakeup", the policy setting (when CONFIG_PM)

  * There's a writeable sysfs "wakeup" file, with one of two values:
      - "enabled", when the policy is to allow wakeup
      - "disabled", when the policy is not to allow it
      - "" if the device can't currently issue wakeups

By default, wakeup is enabled on all devices that support it.  If its
driver doesn't support it ... treat it as a bug.  :)

Bill Nottingham 3e51377dc4 [PATCH] fix class symlinks in sysfs
The class symlinks in sysfs don't properly handle changing device names.

To demonstrate, rename your network device from eth0 to eth1. Your
pci (or usb, or whatever) device will still have a 'net:eth0' link,
except now it points to /sys/class/net/eth1.

The attached patch makes sure the class symlink name changes when
the class device name changes. It isn't 100% correct, it should be
using sysfs_rename_link. Unfortunately, sysfs_rename_link doesn't exist.

Daniel Ritz 4c898c7f2f [PATCH] Driver Core: fis bus rescan devices race
bus_rescan_devices_helper() does not hold the dev->sem when it checks for
!dev->driver().  device_attach() holds the sem, but calls again
device_bind_driver() even when dev->driver is set.

What happens is that a first device_attach() call (module insertion time)
is on the way binding the device to a driver.  Another thread calls
bus_rescan_devices().  Now when bus_rescan_devices_helper() checks for
dev->driver it is still NULL 'cos the the prior device_attach() is not yet
finished.  But as soon as the first one releases the dev->sem the second
device_attach() tries to rebind the already bound device again.
device_bind_driver() does this blindly which leads to a corrupt
driver->klist_devices list (the device links itself, the head points to the
device).  Later a call to device_release_driver() sets dev->driver to NULL
and breaks the link it has to itself on knode_driver.  Rmmoding the driver
later calls driver_detach() which leads to an endless loop 'cos the list
head in klist_devices still points to the device.  And since dev->driver is
NULL it's stuck with the same device forever.  Boom.  And rmmod hangs.

Very easy to reproduce with new-style pcmcia and a 16bit card.  Just loop
modprobe <pcmcia-modules> ;cardctl eject; rmmod <card driver, pcmcia
modules>.

Easiest fix is to check if the device is already bound to a driver in
device_bind_driver().  This avoids the double binding.

James Bottomley 34bb61f9dd [PATCH] fix klist semantics for lists which have elements removed on traversal
The problem is that klists claim to provide semantics for safe traversal of
lists which are being modified.  The failure case is when traversal of a
list causes element removal (a fairly common case).  The issue is that
although the list node is refcounted, if it is embedded in an object (which
is universally the case), then the object will be freed regardless of the
klist refcount leading to slab corruption because the klist iterator refers
to the prior element to get the next.

The solution is to make the klist take and release references to the
embedding object meaning that the embedding object won't be released until
the list relinquishes the reference to it.

(akpm: fast-track this because it's needed for the 2.6.13 scsi merge)

Greg KH 518e654083 [PATCH] Fix manual binding infinite loop
Fix for manual binding of drivers to devices.  Problem is if you pass in
a valid device id, but the driver refuses to bind.  Infinite loop as
write() tries to resubmit the data it just sent.

Thanks to Michal Ostrowski <mostrows@watson.ibm.com> for pointing the
problem out.

Maneesh Soni 208f3d6175 [PATCH] Driver core: potentially fix use after free in class_device_attr_show
This moves the code to free devt_attr from class_device_del() to
class_dev_release() which is called after the last reference to the
corresponding kobject() is gone.

This allows us to keep the devt_attr alive while the corresponding
sysfs file is open.

James Bottomley d0a7e57400 [SCSI] correct transport class abstraction to work outside SCSI
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

Patrick Mochel d62c0f9fd2 [PATCH] Driver core: Use klist_del() instead of klist_remove().
Use klist_del() instead of klist_remove() when unregistering devices.
This will prevent a deadlock when executing a recursive unregister using

Greg Kroah-Hartman 23d3d602cb [PATCH] driver core: change bus_rescan_devices to return void
No one was looking at the return value of bus_rescan_devices, and it
really wasn't anything that anyone in the kernel would ever care about.
So change it which enabled some counting code to be removed also.

Greg Kroah-Hartman afdce75f1e [PATCH] driver core: Add the ability to bind drivers to devices from userspace
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.

Ashok Raj 52a119feaa [PATCH] make smp_prepare_cpu to a weak function
I really wish smp_prepare_cpu() would disappear eventually.  In the interim
this is ideally a weak function, so we dont end up changing several places
to define this dummy in headers.

Today since the dummy declaration is done only in drivers/base/cpu.c but
the function is called in kernel/power/smp.c i get undefined reference in
my cpu hotplug code for x86_64 under development.
