  • e108526e7   move memory_read_from_buffer() from fs.h to string.h ... Browse Code »

    James Bottomley warns that inclusion of linux/fs.h in a low level
    driver was always a danger signal. This patch moves
    memory_read_from_buffer() from fs.h to string.h and fixes includes in
    existing memory_read_from_buffer() users.

  • 91a690295   sysfs: add parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in .read/.write methods for sysfs binary attributes ... Browse Code »

    Well, first of all, I don't want to change so many files either.

    What I do:
    Adding a new parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in the
    .read/.write methods for the sysfs binary attributes.

    In fact, only the four lines change in fs/sysfs/bin.c and
    include/linux/sysfs.h do the real work.
    But I have to update all the files that use binary attributes
    to make them compatible with the new .read and .write methods.
    I'm not sure if I missed any. :(

    Why I do this:
    For a sysfs attribute, we can get a pointer pointing to the
    struct attribute in the .show/.store method,
    while we can't do this for the binary attributes.
    I don't know why this is different, but this does make it not
    so handy to use the binary attributes as the regular ones.
    So I think this patch is reasonable. :)

    Who benefits from it:
    The patch that exposes ACPI tables in sysfs
    requires such an improvement.
    All the table binary attributes share the same .read method.
    Parameter "struct bin_attribute *" is used to get
    the table signature and instance number which are used to
    distinguish different ACPI table binary attributes.

    Without this parameter, we need to offer different .read methods
    for different ACPI table binary attributes.
    This is impossible as there are various ACPI tables on different
    platforms, and we don't know what they are until they are loaded.

  • 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.)

  • 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.

    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!
