driver core: create bus_is_registered() A local function to the driver core to determine if a bus really is registered with the kernel or not. To be used only by the driver core code, as part of the driver registration path as it's not really "safe" because the bus could be unregistered instantly after being called. Cc: "Rafael J.

driver core: fix driver_set_override() issue with empty strings Python likes to send an empty string for some sysfs files, including the driver_override field. When commit 23d99baf9d72 ("PCI: Use driver_set_override() instead of open-coding") moved the PCI core to use the driver core function instead of hand-rolling their own handler, this showed up as a regression from some userspace tools, like DPDK. Fix this up by actually looking at the length of the string first instead of trusting that userspace got it correct.

driver core: Extend deferred probe timeout on driver registration The deferred probe timer that's used for this currently starts at late_initcall and runs for driver_deferred_probe_timeout seconds. The assumption being that all available drivers would be loaded and registered before the timer expires. This means, the driver_deferred_probe_timeout has to be pretty large for it to cover the worst case. But if we set the default value for it to cover the worst case, it would significantly slow down the average case. For this reason, the default value is set to 0. Also, with CONFIG_MODULES=y and the current default values of driver_deferred_probe_timeout=0 and fw_devlink=on, devices with missing drivers will cause their consumer devices to always defer their probes. This is because device links created by fw_devlink defer the probe even before the consumer driver's probe() is called. Instead of a fixed timeout, if we extend an unexpired deferred probe timer on every successful driver registration, with the expectation more modules would be loaded in the near future, then the default value of driver_deferred_probe_timeout only needs to be as long as the worst case time difference between two consecutive module loads. So let's implement that and set the default value to 10 seconds when CONFIG_MODULES=y. Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: "Rafael J.

driver: platform: Add helper for safer setting of driver_override Several core drivers and buses expect that driver_override is a dynamically allocated memory thus later they can kfree() it.

driver_find_device: Unify the match function with class_find_device() The driver_find_device() accepts a match function pointer to filter the devices for lookup, similar to bus/class_find_device(). However, there is a minor difference in the prototype for the match parameter for driver_find_device() with the now unified version accepted by {bus/class}_find_device(), where it doesn't accept a "const" qualifier for the data argument. This prevents us from reusing the generic match functions for driver_find_device(). For this reason, change the prototype of the driver_find_device() to make the "match" parameter in line with {bus/class}_find_device() and adjust its callers to use the const qualifier. Also, we could now promote the "data" parameter to const as we pass it down as a const parameter to the match functions.

So the extra GPL text wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all. This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never needed. No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

Need to check driver_private to see if it's populated or not, especially under deferrable probe. In the case that there are 2 drivers, one depends on the other. With -EPROBE_DEFER, two drivers can use deferred probe to ensure that their relative probe order doesn't matter. If dependee driver is probed first, then the dependant's driver_find_device('dependee') succeeds. If the dependant is probed first, then the dependant's driver_find_device('dependee') should return NULL, and the dependant should get -EPROBE_DEFER. driver_find_device() needs to return NULL if it's not populated.

Driver core: driver_find() drops reference before returning As part of the removal of get_driver()/put_driver(), this patch (as1510) changes driver_find(); it now drops the reference it acquires before returning. The patch also adjusts all the callers of driver_find() to remove the now unnecessary calls to put_driver(). In addition, the patch adds a warning to driver_find(): Callers must make sure the driver they are searching for does not get unloaded while they are using it. This has always been the case; driver_find() has never prevented a driver from being unregistered or unloaded. Hence the patch will not introduce any new bugs. The existing callers all seem to be okay in this respect, however I don't understand the video drivers well enough to be certain about them.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

Driver core: fix driver_register() return value In this patch: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=16dc42e018c2868211b4928f20a957c0c216126c the check was added for another driver to already claim the same device on the same bus. But the returned error code was wrong: to modprobe, the -EEXIST means that _this_ driver is already installed. It therefore doesn't produce the needed error message when _another_ driver is trying to register for the same device. Returning -EBUSY fixes the problem.

driver-core: do not register a driver with bus_type not registered If the bus_type is not registerd, driver_register to that bus will cause oops. I found this bug when test built-in usb serial drivers (ie. aircable driver) with 'nousb' cmdline params. In this patch: 1. set the bus->p=NULL when bus_register failed and unregisterd. 2. if bus->p is NULL, driver_register BUG_ON will be triggered.

driver core: fix small mem leak in driver_add_kobj() The Coverity checker spotted that we leak the storage allocated to 'name' in int driver_add_kobj(). The leak looks legit to me - this is the code : int driver_add_kobj(struct device_driver *drv, struct kobject *kobj, const char *fmt, ...) { va_list args; char *name; int ret; va_start(args, fmt); name = kvasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, fmt, args); ^^^^^^^^ This dynamically allocates space... va_end(args); if (!name) return -ENOMEM; return kobject_add(kobj, &drv->p->kobj, "%s", name); ^^^^^^^^ This neglects to free the space allocated } Inside kobject_add() a copy of 'name' will be made and used. As far as I can see, Coverity is correct in flagging this as a leak, but I'd like some configmation before the patch is applied. This should fix it.

driver core: remove fields from struct bus_type struct bus_type is static everywhere in the kernel. This moves the kobject in the structure out of it, and a bunch of other private only to the driver core fields are now moved to a private structure. This lets us dynamically create the backing kobject properly and gives us the chance to be able to document to users exactly how to use the struct bus_type as there are no fields they can improperly access.

Driver core: remove unneeded completion from driver release path 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.

Driver core: Remove unneeded routines from driver core This patch (as783) simplifies the driver core slightly by removing four unnecessary _get and _put methods. It is vital that when a driver is removed from its bus's klist of registered drivers, or when a device is removed from a driver's klist of bound devices, that the klist updates complete synchronously. Otherwise the kernel might try binding an unregistered driver to a newly-registered device, or adding a device to the klist for a new driver before it has been removed from the old driver's klist. Since the removals must be synchronous, they don't need to update any reference counts. Hence the _get and _put methods can be dispensed with.

[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.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 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!
