Based on the discussion about spufs attributes, this is my suggestion
for a more generic attribute file support that can be used by both
debugfs and spufs.

Simple attribute files behave similarly to sequential files from
a kernel programmers perspective in that a standard set of file
operations is provided and only an open operation needs to
be written that registers file specific get() and set() functions.

These operations are defined as

void foo_set(void *data, u64 val); and
u64 foo_get(void *data);

where data is the inode->u.generic_ip pointer of the file and the
operations just need to make send of that pointer. The infrastructure
makes sure this works correctly with concurrent access and partial
read calls.

A macro named DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE is provided to further simplify
using the attributes.

This patch already contains the changes for debugfs to use attributes
for its internal file operations.

This patch fixes usb_driver_release_interface() to make it avoid calling
device_release_driver() recursively, i.e., when invoked from within the
disconnect routine for the same device.  The patch applies to your
"driver" tree.

This patch is intended for your "driver" tree.  It fixes several subtle
races in driver_detach() and device_release_driver() in the driver-model
core.

The major change is to use klist_remove() rather than klist_del() when
taking a device off its driver's list.  There's no other way to guarantee
that the list pointers will be updated before some other driver binds to
the device.  For this to work driver_detach() can't use a klist iterator,
so the loop over the devices must be written out in full.  In addition the
patch protects against the possibility that, when a driver and a device
are unregistered at the same time, one may be unloaded from memory before
the other is finished using it.

The original code looks like this:

        /* if interface was already added, bind now; else let
         * the future device_add() bind it, bypassing probe()
         */
        if (!list_empty (&dev->bus_list))
                device_bind_driver(dev);

IOW, it's checking to see if the device is attached to the bus or not
and binding the driver if it is. It's checking the device's bus list,
which will only appear empty when the device has been initialized, but
not added. It depends way too much on the driver model internals, but it
seems to be the only way to do the weird crap they want to do with
interfaces.

When I converted it to use klists, I accidentally inverted the logic,
which led to bad things happening. This patch returns the check to its
orginal value.

There's no check to see if the device is already bound to a driver, which
could do bad things.  The first thing to go wrong is that it will try to match
a driver with a device already bound to one.  In some cases (it appears with
USB with drivers/usb/core/usb.c::usb_match_id()), some drivers will match a
device based on the class type, so it would be common (especially for HID
devices) to match a device that is already bound.

The fun comes when ->probe() is called, it fails, then
driver_probe_device() does this:

	dev->driver = NULL;

Later on, that pointer could be be dereferenced without checking and cause
hell to break loose.

This problem could be nasty. It's very hardware dependent, since some
devices could have a different set of matching qualifiers than others.

Now, I don't quite see exactly where/how you were getting that crash.
You're dereferencing bad memory, but I'm not sure which pointer was bad
and where it came from, but it could have come from a couple of different
places.

The patch below will hopefully fix it all up for you. It's against
2.6.12-rc2-mm1, and does the following:

- Move logic to driver_probe_device() and comments uncommon returns:
  1 - If device is bound
  0 - If device not bound, and no error
  error - If there was an error.

- Move locking to caller of that function, since we want to lock a
  device for the entire time we're trying to bind it to a driver (to
  prevent against a driver being loaded at the same time).

- Update __device_attach() and __driver_attach() to do that locking.

- Check if device is already bound in __driver_attach()

- Update the converse device_release_driver() so it locks the device
  around all of the operations.

- Mark driver_probe_device() as static and remove export. It's an
  internal function, it should stay that way, and there are no other
  callers. If there is ever a need to export it, we can audit it as
  necessary.

Thanks for making the changes. However, changes in functions:
void pcie_port_device_remove(struct pci_dev *dev) and
static int remove_iter(struct device *dev, void *data)
are not correct. Please use the patch, which is based on kernel
2.6.12-rc1, below for a fix for these.
