[PATCH] DRIVER MODEL: Get rid of the obsolete tri-level suspend/resume callbacks

2005-10-28T16:52:56Z

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 Since this is obsolete infrastructure which is no longer necessary, we can remove it.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. Signed-off-by: Russell King Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] Driver Core: add the ability for class_device structures to be nested

2005-10-28T16:52:51Z

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...

[PATCH] add sysfs attr to re-emit device hotplug event

2005-10-28T16:52:51Z

A "coldplug + udevstart" can be simple like this: for i in /sys/block/*/*/uevent; do echo 1 > $i; done for i in /sys/class/*/*/uevent; do echo 1 > $i; done for i in /sys/bus/*/devices/*/uevent; do echo 1 > $i; done Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] Driver core: pass interface to class interface methods

2005-10-28T16:52:51Z

Driver core: pass interface to class intreface methods Pass interface as argument to add() and remove() class interface methods. This way a subsystem can implement generic add/remove handlers and then call interface-specific ones. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] driver core: add helper device_is_registered()

2005-09-22T14:58:24Z

add the helper and use it instead of open coding the klist_node_attached() check (which is a layering violation IMHO) idea by Alan Stern. Signed-off-by: Daniel Ritz Cc: Alan Stern Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[ACPI] Bind PCI devices with ACPI devices

2005-07-12T03:28:24Z

Implement the framework for binding physical devices with ACPI devices. A physical bus like PCI bus should create a 'acpi_bus_type', with: .find_device: For device which has parent such as normal PCI devices. .find_bridge: It's for special devices, such as PCI root bridge or IDE controller. Such devices generally haven't a parent or ->bus. We use the special method to get an ACPI handle.

[PATCH] driver core: change bus_rescan_devices to return void

2005-06-30T05:48:04Z

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. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
