  • 6ba186361   PCI: Require vendor and device for new_id ... Browse Code »

    Currently, there is no minimum number of fields required when adding
    a new device ID to a PCI driver through the new_id sysfs file. It is
    possible to add a new ID with only the vendor ID set, causing the
    driver to attempt to attach to all PCI devices from that vendor. This
    has been reported to happen accidentally:
    http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2007-March/019366.html
    It is even possible to not even set the vendor ID field, causing the
    driver to attempt to attach to _all_ the PCI devices.

    This sounds dangerous and I fail to see any valid use of this
    "feature". Thus I suggest that we now require at least the first two
    fields (vendor ID and device ID) to be set. For what it's worth, this
    is what the USB subsystem does.

  • 26ba05e4c   PCI: pci.txt fix __devexit() usage ... Browse Code »

    Marin Mitov spotted a brainfart where I had
    failed to update copied text with *_remove and __devexit().

    Marin made a good comment in his email to me:
    | mydriver_probe() is _always_ executed, while mydriver_remove() is not.
    | See: include/linux/init.h

    Which says:
    /* Functions marked as __devexit may be discarded at kernel link time, depending
    on config options. Newer versions of binutils detect references from
    retained sections to discarded sections and flag an error. Pointers to
    __devexit functions must use __devexit_p(function_name), the wrapper will
    insert either the function_name or NULL, depending on the config options.
    */

  • 74da15eb1   PCI: rework Documentation/pci.txt ... Browse Code »

    Rewrite Documentation/pci.txt:
    o restructure document to match how API is used when writing init code.
    o update to reflect changes in struct pci_driver function pointers.
    o removed language on "new style vs old style" device discovery.
    "Old style" is now deprecated. Don't use it. Left description in
    to document existing driver behaviors.
    o add section "Legacy I/O Port free driver" by Kenji Kaneshige
    http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/11/22/25
    (renamed to "pci_enable_device_bars() and Legacy I/O Port space")
    o add "MMIO space and write posting" section to help avoid common pitfall
    when converting drivers from IO Port space to MMIO space.
    Orignally posted http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/27/24
    o many typo/grammer/spelling corrections from Randy Dunlap
    o two more spelling corrections from Stephan Richter
    o fix CodingStyle as per Randy Dunlap

    Patch below clarifies comments in Documentation/pci.txt.

    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!
