If device_add() is called with a device which does not have dev->p set up, then device_private_init() is called. If that succeeds, then the error variable is set to 0. Now if the dev_name(dev) check further down fails, then device_add() correctly terminates, but returns 0. That of course lets the driver progress. If later another driver uses this half set up device as parent then device_add() of the child device explodes and renders sysfs completely unusable. Set the error to -EINVAL if dev_name() check fails. Signed-off-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Cc: "Hans J.

device_shutdown is defined to just shutdown the hardware and to not clean up any kernel data structures. Therefore don't put the kobjects for /sys/dev and /sys/dev/block and /sys/dev/char.

This allows subsytems to provide devtmpfs with non-default permissions for the device node. Instead of the default mode of 0600, null, zero, random, urandom, full, tty, ptmx now have a mode of 0666, which allows non-privileged processes to access standard device nodes in case no other userspace process applies the expected permissions.

Devtmpfs lets the kernel create a tmpfs instance called devtmpfs very early at kernel initialization, before any driver-core device is registered. Every device with a major/minor will provide a device node in devtmpfs. Devtmpfs can be changed and altered by userspace at any time, and in any way needed - just like today's udev-mounted tmpfs. Unmodified udev versions will run just fine on top of it, and will recognize an already existing kernel-created device node and use it. The default node permissions are root:root 0600. Proper permissions and user/group ownership, meaningful symlinks, all other policy still needs to be applied by userspace. If a node is created by devtmps, devtmpfs will remove the device node when the device goes away. If the device node was created by userspace, or the devtmpfs created node was replaced by userspace, it will no longer be removed by devtmpfs. If it is requested to auto-mount it, it makes init=/bin/sh work without any further userspace support. /dev will be fully populated and dynamic, and always reflect the current device state of the kernel. With the commonly used dynamic device numbers, it solves the problem where static devices nodes may point to the wrong devices. It is intended to make the initial bootup logic simpler and more robust, by de-coupling the creation of the inital environment, to reliably run userspace processes, from a complex userspace bootstrap logic to provide a working /dev.

This patch (as1271) affects when new devices get linked into their bus's list of devices. Currently this happens after probing, and it doesn't happen at all if probing fails. Clearly this is wrong, because at that point quite a few symbolic links have already been created in sysfs. We are committed to adding the device, so it should be linked into the bus's list regardless. In addition, this needs to happen before the uevent announcing the new device gets issued. Otherwise user programs might try to access the device before it has been added to the bus. To fix both these problems, the patch moves the call to klist_add_tail() forward from bus_attach_device() to bus_add_device(). Since bus_attach_device() now does nothing but probe for drivers, it has been renamed to bus_probe_device(). And lastly, the kerneldoc is updated.

This patch implements uevent suppress in kobject and removes it from struct device, based on the following ideas: 1,Uevent sending should be one attribute of kobject, so suppressing it in kobject layer is more natural than in device layer. By this way, we can do it for other objects embedded with kobject. 2,It may save several bytes for each instance of struct device.(On my omap3(32bit ARM) based box, can save 8bytes per device object) This patch also introduces dev_set|get_uevent_suppress() helpers to set and query uevent_suppress attribute in case to help kobject as private part of struct device in future.

Commit 3ada8b7e ("block: struct device - replace bus_id with dev_name(), dev_set_name()") deleted the code in register_disk() that changed a '/' to a '!' in the device name when registering a disk, but dev_set_name() does not perform this conversion. This leads to amusing problems with disks that have '/' in their names: for example a failure to boot with the root partition on a cciss device, even though the kernel says it knows about the root device: VFS: Cannot open root device "cciss/c0d0p6" or unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions: 6800 71652960 cciss/c0d0 driver: cciss 6802 1 cciss/c0d0p2 6805 2931831 cciss/c0d0p5 6806 34354908 cciss/c0d0p6 6810 71652960 cciss/c0d1 driver: cciss Fix this by adding code to change '/' to '!' in dev_set_name() to handle this until dev_set_name() is converted to use kobject_set_name().

When looking at kobject_rename I found two bugs with that exist when sysfs support is disabled in the kernel. kobject_rename does not change the name on the kobject when sysfs support is not compiled in. kobject_rename without locking attempts to check the validity of a rename operation, which the kobject layer simply does not have the infrastructure to do. This patch documents the previously unstated requirement of kobject_rename that is the responsibility of the caller to provide mutual exclusion and to be certain that the new_name for the kobject is valid. This patch modifies sysfs_rename_dir in !CONFIG_SYSFS case to call kobject_set_name to actually change the kobject_name. This patch removes the bogus and misleading check in kobject_rename that attempts to see if a rename is valid. The check is bogus because we do not have the proper locking. The check is misleading because it looks like we can and do perform checking at the kobject level that we don't. Signed-off-by: NEric W.

Iterating over entries using callback usually isn't too fun especially when the entry being iterated over can't be manipulated freely. This patch converts class->p->class_devices to klist and implements class device iterator so that the users can freely build their own control structure. The users are also free to call back into class code without worrying about locking. class_for_each_device() and class_find_device() are converted to use the new iterators, so their users don't have to worry about locking anymore either. Note: This depends on klist-dont-iterate-over-deleted-entries patch because class_intf->add/remove_dev() depends on proper synchronization with device removal.
