  • 6038f373a   llseek: automatically add .llseek fop ... Browse Code »

    All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
    nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
    .llseek pointer.

    The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
    and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
    the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
    the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

    New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
    and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
    to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
    relies on calling seek on the device file.

    The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
    comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
    chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
    be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
    seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

    Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
    the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

    Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
    patch that does all this.

    cycle_kernel_lock() was added during the big BKL pushdown. It should
    ensure the serializiation against driver init code. In this case there
    is nothing to serialize. Remove it.

  • babcfade4   [PATCH] pc8736x_gpio: fix re-modprobe errors: fix/finish cdev-init ... Browse Code »

    - Switch from register_chrdev() to (register|alloc)_chrdev_region().

    - use a cdev. This was intended for original patchset, but was
    overlooked.

    We use a single cdev for all pins (minor device-numbers), as gleaned
    from cs5535_gpio, and in contrast to whats currently done in scx200_gpio
    (which I'll fix soon)

    Fix module-init-func by repairing usage of platform_device_del/put in
    module-exit-func. IOW, it imitates Ingo's 'mishaps' patch, which fixed the
    module-init-func's undo handling.

    Also fixes lack of release_region to undo the earlier registration.

    Also starts to 'use a cdev' which was originally intended (its present in
    scx200_gpio). Code compiles and runs, exhibits a lesser error than
    previously. (re-register-chrdev fails)

    Since I had to add "include ", I went ahead and made 2
    tweaks that fell into diff-context-window:
    - remove include everyone's doing it
    - copyright updates - current date is 'wrong'

    Mark the static struct file_operations in drivers/char as const. Making
    them const prevents accidental bugs, and moves them to the .rodata section
    so that they no longer do any false sharing; in addition with the proper
    debug option they are then protected against corruption..
