Provide a function device_move() to move a device to a new parent device. Add
auxilliary functions kobject_move() and sysfs_move_dir().
kobject_move() generates a new uevent of type KOBJ_MOVE, containing the
previous path (DEVPATH_OLD) in addition to the usual values. For this, a new
interface kobject_uevent_env() is created that allows to add further
environmental data to the uevent at the kobject layer.Signed-off-by: Cornelia Huck

since most of the files in sysfs are text files,
it would be nice, if the "store" function called
during sysfs_write_file() gets a zero terminated
string / data.
The current implementation seems not to ensure this.
(But only if it is the first time the zeroed buffer
page is allocated.)So the buffer can be scanned by sscanf() easily,
for example.This patch simply sets a \0 char behind the
data in buffer->page.Signed-off-by: Thomas Maier

Take return value of sysfs_create_group() into account. That function got
called in case of CPU_ONLINE notification. Since callbacks are not allowed
to fail on CPU_ONLINE notification do the sysfs group creation on
CPU_UP_PREPARE notification.Also remember if creation succeeded in a bitmask. So it's possible to know
whether it's legal to call sysfs_remove_group or not.In addition some other minor stuff:
- since CPU_UP_PREPARE might fail add CPU_UP_CANCELED handling as well.
- use hotcpu_notifier instead of register_hotcpu_notifier.
- #ifdef code that isn't needed in the !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU case.Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens

Move the call to platform_notify_remove() to after the call to
bus_remove_device(), where it belongs. It's bogus to notify the platform
of removal while drivers are still attached to the device and possibly
still operating since the platform might use this callback to tear down
some resources used by the driver (ACPI bits, iommu table, ...)Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

Change ACPI to use dev_archdata instead of firmware_data
This patch changes ACPI to use the new dev_archdata on i386, x86_64
and ia64 (is there any other arch using ACPI ?) to store it's
acpi_handle.It also removes the firmware_data field from struct device as this
was the only user.Only build-tested on x86

Converts from using struct "class_device" to "struct device" making
everything show up properly in /sys/devices/ with symlinks from the
/sys/class directory.It also makes the struct sound_card to show up as a "real" device
where all the different sound class devices are placed as childs
and different card attribute files can hang off of. /sys/class/sound is
still a flat directory, but the symlink targets of all devices belonging
to the same card, point the the /sys/devices tree below the new card
device object.Thanks to Kay for the updates to this patch.

Provide a way to support older versions of udev that are shipped in
older distros. If this option is disabled, it will also turn off the
compatible symlinks in sysfs that older programs might rely on.When in doubt, or if running a distro older than 2006, say Yes here.

I finally did as you suggested and added the notifier to the struct
bus_type itself. There are still problems to be expected is something
attaches to a bus type where the code can hook in different struct
device sub-classes (which is imho a big bogosity but I won't even try to
argue that case now) but it will solve nicely a number of issues I've
had so far.That also means that clients interested in registering for such
notifications have to do it before devices are added and after bus types
are registered. Fortunately, most bus types that matter for the various
usage scenarios I have in mind are registerd at postcore_initcall time,
which means I have a really nice spot at arch_initcall time to add my
notifiers.There are 4 notifications provided. Device being added (before hooked to
the bus) and removed (failure of previous case or after being unhooked
from the bus), along with driver being bound to a device and about to be
unbound.The usage I have for these are:
- The 2 first ones are used to maintain a struct device_ext that is
hooked to struct device.firmware_data. This structure contains for now a
pointer to the Open Firmware node related to the device (if any), the
NUMA node ID (for quick access to it) and the DMA operations pointers &
iommu table instance for DMA to/from this device. For bus types I own
(like IBM VIO or EBUS), I just maintain that structure directly from the
bus code when creating the devices. But for bus types managed by generic
code like PCI or platform (actually, of_platform which is a variation of
platform linked to Open Firmware device-tree), I need this notifier.- The other two ones have a completely different usage scenario. I have
cases where multiple devices and their drivers depend on each other. For
example, the IBM EMAC network driver needs to attach to a MAL DMA engine
which is a separate device, and a PHY interface which is also a separate
device. They are all of_platform_device's (well, about to be with my
upcoming patches) but there is no say in what precise order the core
will "probe" them and instanciate the various modules. The solution I
found for that is to have the drivers for emac to use multithread_probe,
and wait for a driver to be bound to the target MAL and PHY control
devices (the device-tree contains reference to the MAL and PHY interface
nodes, which I can then match to of_platform_devices). Right now, I've
been polling, but with that notifier, I can more cleanly wait (with a
timeout of course).Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

MAX_HEADER is either set to LL_MAX_HEADER or LL_MAX_HEADER + 48, and
this is controlled by a set of CONFIG_* ifdef tests.It is trying to use LL_MAX_HEADER + 48 when any of the tunnels are
enabled which set hard_header_len like this:dev->hard_header_len = LL_MAX_HEADER + sizeof(struct xxx);
The correct set of tunnel drivers which do this are:
ipip
ip_gre
ip6_tunnel
sitso make the ifdef test match.
Noticed by Patrick McHardy and with help from Herbert Xu.
