      Driver core: add new device to bus's list before probing · 2023c610
      Alan Stern 提交于
      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.

      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.
