      Driver core: change add_uevent_var to use a struct · 7eff2e7a
      Kay Sievers 提交于
      This changes the uevent buffer functions to use a struct instead of a
      long list of parameters. It does no longer require the caller to do the
      proper buffer termination and size accounting, which is currently wrong
      in some places. It fixes a known bug where parts of the uevent
      environment are overwritten because of wrong index calculations.
      
      Many thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for finding bugs and improving the
      error handling.

      Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default · 83144186
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
      threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves.  This
      approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
      set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
      care for the freezing of tasks at all.
      
      It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
      be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
      freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
      done in this patch.
      
      The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to
      have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
      function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
      unset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
      threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
      change of behaviour to appear.  Additionally, it updates documentation to
      describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

      sysfs: add parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in .read/.write methods for sysfs binary attributes · 91a69029
      Zhang Rui 提交于
      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.

      sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner · 7b595756
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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.
