      [PATCH] ide: MODALIAS support for autoloading of ide-cd, ide-disk, ... · 263756ec
      Kay Sievers 提交于
      IDE: MODALIAS support for autoloading of ide-cd, ide-disk, ...
      
      Add MODULE_ALIAS to IDE midlayer modules: ide-disk, ide-cd, ide-floppy and
      ide-tape, to autoload these modules depending on the probed media type of
      the IDE device.
      
      It is used by udev and replaces the former agent shell script of the hotplug
      package, which was required to lookup the media type in the proc filesystem.
      Using proc was racy, cause the media file is created after the hotplug event
      is sent out.
      
      The module autoloading does not take any effect, until something like the
      following udev rule is configured:
        SUBSYSTEM=="ide",  ACTION=="add", ENV{MODALIAS}=="?*", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe $env{MODALIAS}"
      
      The module ide-scsi will not be autoloaded, cause it requires manual
      configuration. It can't be, and never was supported for automatic setup in
      the hotplug package. Adding a MODULE_ALIAS to ide-scsi for all supported
      media types, would just lead to a default blacklist entry anyway.
      
        $ modinfo ide-disk
        filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.15-rc4-g1b0997f5/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-disk.ko

        alias:          ide:*m-disk*
        license:        GPL
        ...
      
        $ modprobe -vn ide:m-disk
        insmod /lib/modules/2.6.15-rc4-g1b0997f5/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-disk.ko
      
        $ cat /sys/bus/ide/devices/0.0/modalias
        ide:m-disk
      
      It also adds attributes to the IDE device:

      [PATCH] Allow overlapping resources for platform devices · d960bb4d
      Kumar Gala 提交于
      There are cases in which a device's memory mapped registers overlap
      with another device's memory mapped registers.  On several PowerPC
      devices this occurs for the MDIO bus, whose registers tended to overlap
      with one of the ethernet controllers.
      
      By switching from request_resource to insert_resource we can register
      the MDIO bus as a proper platform device and not hack around how we
      handle its memory mapped registers.

      [PATCH] klist: Fix broken kref counting in find functions · e22dafbc
      Frank Pavlic 提交于
      The klist reference counting in the find functions that use
      klist_iter_init_node is broken.  If the function (for example
      driver_find_device) is called with a NULL start object then everything is
      fine, the first call to next_device()/klist_next increases the ref-count of
      the first node on the list and does nothing for the start object which is
      NULL.
      
      If they are called with a valid start object then klist_next will decrement
      the ref-count for the start object but nobody has incremented it.  Logical
      place to fix this would be klist_iter_init_node because the function puts a
      reference of the object into the klist_iter struct.

      [PATCH] Hold the device's parent's lock during probe and remove · bf74ad5b
      Alan Stern 提交于
      This patch (as604) makes the driver core hold a device's parent's lock
      as well as the device's lock during calls to the probe and remove
      methods in a driver.  This facility is needed by USB device drivers,
      owing to the peculiar way USB devices work:
      
      	A device provides multiple interfaces, and drivers are bound
      	to interfaces rather than to devices;
      
      	Nevertheless a reset, reset-configuration, suspend, or resume
      	affects the entire device and requires the caller to hold the
      	lock for the device, not just a lock for one of the interfaces.
      
      Since a USB driver's probe method is always called with the interface
      lock held, the locking order rules (always lock parent before child)
      prevent these methods from acquiring the device lock.  The solution
      provided here is to call all probe and remove methods, for all devices
      (not just USB), with the parent lock already acquired.
      
      Although currently only the USB subsystem requires these changes, people
      have mentioned in prior discussion that the overhead of acquiring an
      extra semaphore in all the prove/remove sequences is not overly large.
      
      Up to now, the USB core has been using its own set of private
      semaphores.  A followup patch will remove them, relying entirely on the
      device semaphores provided by the driver core.
      
      The code paths affected by this patch are:
      
      	device_add and device_del: The USB core already holds the parent
      	lock, so no actual change is needed.
      
      	driver_register and driver_unregister: The driver core will now
      	lock both the parent and the device before probing or removing.
      
      	driver_bind and driver_unbind (in sysfs): These routines will
      	now lock both the parent and the device before binding or
      	unbinding.
      
      	bus_rescan_devices: The helper routine will lock the parent
      	before probing a device.
      
      I have not tested this patch for conflicts with other subsystems.  As
      far as I can see, the only possibility of conflict would lie in the
      bus_rescan_devices pathway, and it seems pretty remote.  Nevertheless,
      it would be good for this to get a lot of testing in -mm.

      [PATCH] merge kobject_uevent and kobject_hotplug · 5f123fbd
      Kay Sievers 提交于
      The distinction between hotplug and uevent does not make sense these
      days, netlink events are the default.
      
      udev depends entirely on netlink uevents. Only during early boot and
      in initramfs, /sbin/hotplug is needed. So merge the two functions and
      provide only one interface without all the options.
      
      The netlink layer got a nice generic interface with named slots
      recently, which is probably a better facility to plug events for
      subsystem specific events.
      Also the new poll() interface to /proc/mounts is a nicer way to
      notify about changes than sending events through the core.
      The uevents should only be used for driver core related requests to
      userspace now.

      [PATCH] add uevent_helper control in /sys/kernel/ · 0f76e5ac

      This deprecates the /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug file, as all
      this stuff should be in /sys some day, right? :)
      In /sys/kernel/ we have now uevent_seqnum and uevent_helper.
      The seqnum is no longer used by udev, as the version for this
      kernel depends on netlink which events will never get
      out-of-order.
      
      Recent udev versions disable the /sbin/hotplug helper with
      an init script, cause it leads to OOM on big boxes by running
      hundreds of shells in parallel. It should be done now by:
        echo "" > /sys/kernel/uevent_helper

      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      Some G5s still occasionally experience shutdowns due to overtemp
      conditions despite the recent fix. After analyzing logs from such
      machines, it appears that the overtemp code is a bit too quick at
      shutting the machine down when reaching the critical temperature (tmax +
      8) and doesn't leave the fan enough time to actually cool it down. This
      happens if the temperature of a CPU suddenly rises too high in a very
      short period of time, or occasionally on boot (that is the CPUs are
      already overtemp by the time the driver loads).
      
      This patches makes the code a bit more relaxed, leaving a few seconds to
      the fans to do their job before kicking the machine shutown.
