  • c353c3fb0   Driver core: let request_module() send a /sys/modules/kmod/-uevent ... Browse Code »

    On recent systems, calls to /sbin/modprobe are handled by udev depending
    on the kind of device the kernel has discovered. This patch creates an
    uevent for the kernels internal request_module(), to let udev take control
    over the request, instead of forking the binary directly by the kernel.
    The direct execution of /sbin/modprobe can be disabled by setting:
    /sys/module/kmod/mod_request_helper (/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe)
    to an empty string, the same way /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug is disabled on an
    udev system.

  • a416aba63   [PATCH] kernelparams: detect if and which parameter parsing enabled irq's ... Browse Code »

    The parsing of some kernel parameters seem to enable irq's at a stage that
    irq's are not supposed to be enabled (Particularly the ide kernel parameters).

    Having irq's enabled before the irq controller is initialized might lead to a
    kernel panic. This patch only detects this behaviour and warns about wich
    parameter caused it.

  • d10be6d1b   [PATCH] module_subsys: initialize earlier ... Browse Code »

    Initialize module_subsys earlier (or at least earlier than devices) since
    it could be used very early in the boot process if kmod loads a module
    before the device initcalls. Otherwise, kmod will crash in
    kernel/module.c:mod_sysfs_setup() since the kset in module_subsys is not
    initialized yet.

    I only noticed this problem because occasionally, kmod loads the modules
    for my SCSI and Ethernet adapters very early, during the boot process
    itself. I don't quite understand why it loads them sometimes and doesn't
    load them other times. Or who is telling kmod to do so. Can someone
    explain?

    Since dash2underscore() just operates and returns chars, I guess its safe
    to change the return value to a char. With my .config, this reduces its
    size by 5 bytes.

  • 03e88ae1b   [PATCH] fix module sysfs files reference counting ... Browse Code »

    The module files, refcnt, version, and srcversion did not properly
    increment the owner's module reference count, allowing the modules to
    be removed while the files were open, causing oopses.

    This patch fixes this, and also fixes the problem that the version and
    srcversion files were not showing up, unless CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD was
    enabled, which is not correct.

    All the work was done to setup the file and maintain the file handles but
    the access functions were zeroed out due to the #ifdef. Removing the
    #ifdef allows full access to all the parameters when CONFIG_MODULES=n.

    akpm: put it back again, but use CONFIG_SYSFS instead.

  • 4e57b6817   [PATCH] fix missing includes ... Browse Code »

    I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
    sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
    from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
    by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
    this disentangling (patch to follow later).
    However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.

    In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
    possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
    i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
    patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
    adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any
    hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts
    will pick it up again in the next round.

  • 31143a120   [PATCH] kernel/param.c: don't use .max when .num is NULL in param_array_set() ... Browse Code »

    there seems to be a bug, at least for me, in kernel/param.c for arrays with
    .num == NULL. If .num == NULL, the function param_array_set() uses &.max
    for the call to param_array(), wich alters the .max value to the number of
    arguments. The result is, you can't set more array arguments as the last
    time you set the parameter.

    example:

    # a module 'example' with
    # static int array[10] = { 0, };
    # module_param_array(array, int, NULL, 0644);

    $ insmod example.ko array=1,2,3
    $ cat /sys/module/example/parameters/array
    1,2,3
    $ echo "4,3,2,1" > /sys/module/example/parameters/array
    $ dmesg | tail -n 1
    kernel: array: can take only 3 arguments

    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!
