drivers/xen/xenbus: Replace deprecated strcpy in xenbus_transaction_end

2025-11-17T07:48:40Z

strcpy() is deprecated; inline the read-only string instead. Fix the function comment and use bool instead of int while we're at it.

There is a spelling mistake of 'notifer' in the comment which should be 'notifier'. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/C6633C66376C709A+20250722073431.21983-7-wangyuli@uniontech.com Signed-off-by: WangYuli Reviewed-by: Juergen Gross Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton

xen: Remove some deadcode (x)

2025-07-14T07:55:52Z

Remove three uncalled functions: xenbus_mkdir() was added in 2007 by commit 4bac07c993d0 ("xen: add the Xenbus sysfs and virtual device hotplug driver") but has remained unused. xen_get_runstate_snapshot() last use was removed in 2016 by commit 6ba286ad8457 ("xen: support runqueue steal time on xen") which replaces the use by the _cpu version. xen_resume_notifier_unregister() last use was removed in 2017 by commit 1914f0cd203c ("xen/acpi: upload PM state from init-domain to Xen") Remove them.

driver core: have match() callback in struct bus_type take a const *

2024-07-03T13:16:54Z

In the match() callback, the struct device_driver * should not be changed, so change the function callback to be a const *. This is one step of many towards making the driver core safe to have struct device_driver in read-only memory. Because the match() callback is in all busses, all busses are modified to handle this properly. This does entail switching some container_of() calls to container_of_const() to properly handle the constant *. For some busses, like PCI and USB and HV, the const * is cast away in the match callback as those busses do want to modify those structures at this point in time (they have a local lock in the driver structure.) That will have to be changed in the future if they wish to have their struct device * in read-only-memory. Cc: Rafael J.

driver core: make struct bus_type.uevent() take a const *

2023-01-27T12:45:52Z

The uevent() callback in struct bus_type should not be modifying the device that is passed into it, so mark it as a const * and propagate the function signature changes out into all relevant subsystems that use this callback.

xen/xenbus: move to_xenbus_device() to use container_of_const()

2023-01-27T12:45:50Z

The driver core is changing to pass some pointers as const, so move to_xenbus_device() to use container_of_const() to handle this change. to_xenbus_device() now properly keeps the const-ness of the pointer passed into it, while as before it could be lost.

xen: make remove callback of xen driver void returned

2022-12-15T15:06:10Z

Since commit fc7a6209d571 ("bus: Make remove callback return void") forces bus_type::remove be void-returned, it doesn't make much sense for any bus based driver implementing remove callbalk to return non-void to its caller. This change is for xen bus based drivers.

xen/xenbus: add xenbus_setup_ring() service function

2022-05-19T12:21:55Z

Most PV device frontends share very similar code for setting up shared ring buffers: - allocate page(s) - init the ring admin data - give the backend access to the ring via grants Tearing down the ring requires similar actions in all frontends again: - remove grants - free the page(s) Provide service functions xenbus_setup_ring() and xenbus_teardown_ring() for that purpose.
