  • 7b595756e   sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner ... Browse Code »

    sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After
    deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
    so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that
    often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
    accessing removed modules.

    This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with
    this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
    backing module from being unloaded.

    For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
    following message.

    (tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to
    merge things properly.)

  • 496a0fc8c   [PATCH] Fix race in efi variable delete code ... Browse Code »

    Fix race when deleting an EFI variable and issuing another EFI command on
    the same variable. The removal of the variable from the efivars_list
    should be done in efivar_delete and not delayed until the kobject release.

    Furthermore, remove the item from the list at module unload time, and use
    list_for_each_entry_safe() rather than list_for_each_safe() for
    readability.

    Tested on ia64.

  • b2c99e3c7   [PATCH] EFI: keep physical table addresses in efi structure ... Browse Code »

    Almost all users of the table addresses from the EFI system table want
    physical addresses. So rather than doing the pa->va->pa conversion, just keep
    physical addresses in struct efi.

    This fixes a DMI bug: the efi structure contained the physical SMBIOS address
    on x86 but the virtual address on ia64, so dmi_scan_machine() used ioremap()
    on a virtual address on ia64.

    This is essentially the same as an earlier patch by Matt Tolentino:
    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112130292316281&w=2
    except that this changes all table addresses, not just ACPI addresses.

    Matt's original patch was backed out because it caused MCAs on HP sx1000
    systems. That problem is resolved by the ioremap() attribute checking added
    for ia64.

    Here's a patch with kfree() cleanups for drivers/firmware/efivars.c Patch
    removes redundant NULL checks before kfree and also makes a small
    whitespace cleanup - moves two statements on same line to separate lines.

  • 1da177e4c   Linux-2.6.12-rc2 ... Browse Code »

    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!
