  • The function 'kobject_add' tries to verify the name of
    a new kobject instance is properly set before continuing.
    if (!kobj->k_name)
    kobj->k_name = kobj->name;
    if (!kobj->k_name) {
    pr_debug("kobject attempted to be registered with no name!\n");
    WARN_ON(1);
    return -EINVAL;
    }
    The statement:
    if (!kobj->k_name) {
    pr_debug("kobject attempted to be registered with no name!\n");
    WARN_ON(1);
    return -EINVAL;
    }
    is useless the way it is right now, because it can never be true. I
    think the
    code was intended to be:
    if (!kobj->k_name)
    kobj->k_name = kobj->name;
    if (!*kobj->k_name) {
    pr_debug("kobject attempted to be registered with no name!\n");
    WARN_ON(1);
    return -EINVAL;
    }
    because this would make sure the kobj->name buffer has something in it.
    So the missing '*' is just a typo. Although, I would much prefer
    expression like:
    if (*kobj->k_name == '\0') {
    pr_debug("kobject attempted to be registered with no name!\n");
    WARN_ON(1);
    return -EINVAL;
    }

    because this would've made the intention clear, in this patch I just restore
    the missing '*' without changing the coding style of the function.

  • A variety of (mostly) innocuous fixes to the embedded kernel-doc content in
    source files, including:

    * make multi-line initial descriptions single line
    * denote some function names, constants and structs as such
    * change erroneous opening '/*' to '/**' in a few places
    * reword some text for clarity

  • The problem. When implementing a network namespace I need to be able
    to have multiple network devices with the same name. Currently this
    is a problem for /sys/class/net/*.

    What I want is a separate /sys/class/net directory in sysfs for each
    network namespace, and I want to name each of them /sys/class/net.

    I looked and the VFS actually allows that. All that is needed is
    for /sys/class/net to implement a follow link method to redirect
    lookups to the real directory you want.

    Implementing a follow link method that is sensitive to the current
    network namespace turns out to be 3 lines of code so it looks like a
    clean approach. Modifying sysfs so it doesn't get in my was is a bit
    trickier.

    I am calling the concept of multiple directories all at the same path
    in the filesystem shadow directories. With the directory entry really
    at that location the shadow master.

    The following patch modifies sysfs so it can handle a directory
    structure slightly different from the kobject tree so I can implement
    the shadow directories for handling /sys/class/net/.

  • If we allow NULL as the new parent in device_move(), we need to make sure
    that the device is placed into the same place as it would if it was
    newly registered:

    - Consider the device virtual tree. In order to be able to reuse code,
    setup_parent() has been tweaked a bit.
    - kobject_move() can fall back to the kset's kobject.
    - sysfs_move_dir() uses the sysfs root dir as fallback.

  • It should be ok to pass in NULL for some kobject functions, so add error
    checking for all exported kobject functions to be more robust.

  • Provide a function device_move() to move a device to a new parent device. Add
    auxilliary functions kobject_move() and sysfs_move_dir().
    kobject_move() generates a new uevent of type KOBJ_MOVE, containing the
    previous path (DEVPATH_OLD) in addition to the usual values. For this, a new
    interface kobject_uevent_env() is created that allows to add further
    environmental data to the uevent at the kobject layer.

  • People don't like released kernels yelling at them, no matter how real the
    error might be. So only report it if CONFIG_KOBJECT_DEBUG is enabled.

  • It works like this:
    Open the file
    Read all the contents.
    Call poll requesting POLLERR or POLLPRI (so select/exceptfds works)
    When poll returns,
    close the file and go to top of loop.
    or lseek to start of file and go back to the 'read'.

    Events are signaled by an object manager calling
    sysfs_notify(kobj, dir, attr);

    If the dir is non-NULL, it is used to find a subdirectory which
    contains the attribute (presumably created by sysfs_create_group).

    This has a cost of one int per attribute, one wait_queuehead per kobject,
    one int per open file.

    The name "sysfs_notify" may be confused with the inotify
    functionality. Maybe it would be nice to support inotify for sysfs
    attributes as well?

    This patch also uses sysfs_notify to allow /sys/block/md*/md/sync_action
    to be pollable

  • 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!
