2007-05-02platform: reorder platform_device_delJean Delvare1-3/+5
In platform_device_del(), we currently delete the device resources first, then we delete the device itself. This causes a (minor) bug to occur when one unregisters a platform device before unregistering its platform driver, and the driver is requesting (in .probe()) and releasing (in .remove()) a resource of the device. The device resources are already gone by the time the driver gets the chance to release the resources it had been requesting, causing an error like: Trying to free nonexistent resource <0000000000000295-0000000000000296> If the platform driver is unregistered first, the problem doesn't occur, as the driver will have the opportunity to release the resources it had requested before the device resources themselves are released. It's a bit odd that unregistering the driver first or the device first doesn't lead to the same result. So I believe that we should delete the device first in platform_device_del(). I've searched the git history and found that it used to be the case before 2.6.8, but was changed here: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git;a=commitdiff;h=96ef7b3689936ee1e64b711511342026a8ce459c > 2004/07/14 16:09:44-07:00 dtor_core > [PATCH] Driver core: Fix OOPS in device_platform_unregister > > Driver core: platform_device_unregister should release resources first > and only then call device_unregister, otherwise if there > are no more references to the device it will be freed and > the fucntion will try to access freed memory. However we now have an explicit call to put_device() at the end of platform_device_unregister() so I guess the original problem no longer exists and it is safe to revert that change.

2007-04-27define platform wakeup hook, use in pci_enable_wake()David Brownell1-0/+3
This defines a platform hook to enable/disable a device as a wakeup event source. It's initially for use with ACPI, but more generally it could be used whenever enable_irq_wake()/disable_irq_wake() don't suffice. The hook is called -- if available -- inside pci_enable_wake(); and the semantics of that call are enhanced so that support for PCI PME# is no longer needed. It can now work for devices with "legacy PCI PM", when platform support allows it. (That support would use some board-specific signal for for the same purpose as PME#.)

2007-04-27Driver core: remove unneeded completion from driver release pathGreg Kroah-Hartman2-22/+13
The completion in the driver release path is due to ancient history in the _very_ early 2.5 days when we were not tracking the module reference count of attributes. It is not needed at all and can be removed. Note, we now have an empty release function for the driver structure. This is due to the fact that drivers are statically allocated in the system at this point in time, something which I want to change in the future. But remember, drivers are really code, which is reference counted by the module, unlike devices, which are data and _must_ be reference counted properly in order to work correctly.

Instead, create a probing thread for each device that probes the drivers one after another. Also make the decision to use multi-threaded probe per bus instead of per device and adapt the pci code.

2007-04-27Driver core: udev triggered device-<>driver bindingKay Sievers1-6/+78
We get two per-bus sysfs files: ls-l /sys/subsystem/usb drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2007-02-16 16:42 devices drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 0 2007-02-16 14:55 drivers -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2007-02-16 16:42 drivers_autoprobe --w------- 1 root root 4096 2007-02-16 16:42 drivers_probe The flag "drivers_autoprobe" controls the behavior of the bus to bind devices by default, or just initialize the device and leave it alone. The command "drivers_probe" accepts a bus_id and the bus tries to bind a driver to this device. Systems who want to control the driver binding with udev, switch off the bus initiated probing: echo 0 > /sys/subsystem/usb/drivers_autoprobe echo 0 > /sys/subsystem/pcmcia/drivers_autoprobe ... and initiate the probing with udev rules like: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{subsystem/drivers_probe}="$kernel" ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pcmcia", ATTR{subsystem/drivers_probe}="$kernel" ... Custom driver binding can happen in earlier rules by something like: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", \ ATTRS{idVendor}=="1234", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5678" \ ATTR{subsystem/drivers/<custom-driver>/bind}="$kernel" This is intended to solve the modprobe.conf mess with "install-rules", custom bind/unbind-scripts and all the weird things people invented over the years. It should also provide the functionality "libusual" was supposed to do. With udev, one can just write a udev rule to drive all USB-disks at the third port of USB-hub by the "ub" driver, and everything else by usb-storage. One can also instruct udev to bind different wireless drivers to identical cards - just selected by the pcmcia slot-number, and whatever ... To use the mentioned rules, it needs udev version 106, to be able to write ATTR{}="$kernel" to sysfs files. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2007-04-27dev_printk and new-style class devicesJean Delvare1-1/+2
As the new-style class devices (as opposed to old-style struct class_device) are becoming more widely used, I noticed that the dev_printk-based functions are not working properly with these. New-style class devices have no driver nor bus, almost by definition, and as a result dev_driver_string(), which is used as the first parameter of dev_printk, resolves to an empty string. This causes entries like the following to show in my logs: i2c-2: adapter [SMBus stub driver] registered Notice the unaesthetical leading whitespace. In order to fix this problem, I suggest that we extend dev_driver_string to deal with new-style class devices: Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2007-03-15[PATCH] sysfs and driver core: add callback helper, used by SCSI and S390Alan Stern1-0/+29
This patch (as868) adds a helper routine for device drivers that need to set up a callback to perform some action in a different process's context. This is intended for use by attribute methods that want to unregister themselves or their parent device. Attribute method calls are mutually exclusive with unregistration, so such actions cannot be taken directly. Two attribute methods are converted to use the new helper routine: one for SCSI device deletion and one for System/390 ccwgroup devices.

2007-02-09devres: device resource managementTejun Heo8-0/+940
Implement device resource management, in short, devres. A device driver can allocate arbirary size of devres data which is associated with a release function. On driver detach, release function is invoked on the devres data, then, devres data is freed. devreses are typed by associated release functions. Some devreses are better represented by single instance of the type while others need multiple instances sharing the same release function. Both usages are supported. devreses can be grouped using devres group such that a device driver can easily release acquired resources halfway through initialization or selectively release resources (e.g. resources for port 1 out of 4 ports). This patch adds devres core including documentation and the following managed interfaces. * alloc/free : devm_kzalloc(), devm_kzfree() * IO region : devm_request_region(), devm_release_region() * IRQ : devm_request_irq(), devm_free_irq() * DMA : dmam_alloc_coherent(), dmam_free_coherent(), dmam_declare_coherent_memory(), dmam_pool_create(), dmam_pool_destroy() * PCI : pcim_enable_device(), pcim_pin_device(), pci_is_managed() * iomap : devm_ioport_map(), devm_ioport_unmap(), devm_ioremap(), devm_ioremap_nocache(), devm_iounmap(), pcim_iomap_table(), pcim_iomap(), pcim_iounmap() Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

If we allow NULL as the new parent in device_move(), we need to make sure that the device is placed into the same place as it would if it was newly registered: - Consider the device virtual tree. In order to be able to reuse code, setup_parent() has been tweaked a bit. - kobject_move() can fall back to the kset's kobject. - sysfs_move_dir() uses the sysfs root dir as fallback.
