This patch (as1351) removes an unnecessary and unwanted assignment
from device_initialize().  The wakeup flags are set to 0 along with
everything else when the device structure is allocated, so we don't
need to do it again.  Furthermore, the subsystem might already have
set these flags to their correct values; we don't want to override it.

 * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)

The problem is that kobject_add_internal() first adds a kobject to the
kset and then try to create sysfs directory for it.  If the creation
fails, it remove the kobject from the kset.  get_device_parent()
accesses class_dirs kset while only holding class_dirs.list_lock to
see whether the cuse class dir exists.  But when it exists, it may not
have finished initialization yet or may fail and get removed soon.  In
the above case, the former happened so the second one ends up trying
to create subdirectory under NULL sysfs_dirent.

Fix it by grabbing a mutex in get_device_parent().

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.

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.

it turns that dev->dev.kobj name is changed after device_add.

for pci code: via acpi_pci_root_driver.ops.add (aka acpi_pci_root_add)
==> pci_acpi_scan_root is used to scan pci bus/device, and at the same
time we read the resource for pci_dev in the pci_read_bases, we have
res->name = pci_name(pci_dev); pci_name is calling dev_name.

later via acpi_pci_root_driver.ops.start (aka acpi_pci_root_start) ==>
pci_bus_add_device to add all pci_dev in kobj tree.  pci_bus_add_device
will call device_add.

actually in device_add

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(),

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:

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.
