* [PATCH] Driver core: change device_attribute callbacksYani Ioannou2005-06-201-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | This patch adds the device_attribute paramerter to the device_attribute store and show sysfs callback functions, and passes a reference to the attribute when the callbacks are called.

* [PATCH] Use a klist for device child lists.mochel@digitalimplant.org2005-06-201-15/+15
| | | | | | | | | | - Use klist iterator in device_for_each_child(), making it safe to use for removing devices. - Remove unused list_to_dev() function. - Kills all usage of devices_subsys.rwsem.

* [PATCH] Add a klist to struct device_driver for the devices bound to it.mochel@digitalimplant.org2005-06-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | - Use it in driver_for_each_device() instead of the regular list_head and stop using the bus's rwsem for protection. - Use driver_for_each_device() in driver_detach() so we don't deadlock on the bus's rwsem. - Remove ->devices. - Move klist access and sysfs link access out from under device's semaphore, since they're synchronized through other means.

* [PATCH] Add a semaphore to struct device to synchronize calls to its driver.mochel@digitalimplant.org2005-06-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a per-device semaphore that is taken before every call from the core to a driver method. This prevents e.g. simultaneous calls to the ->suspend() or ->resume() and ->probe() or ->release(), potentially saving a whole lot of headaches. It also moves us a step closer to removing the bus rwsem, since it protects the fields in struct device that are modified by the core.

* [PATCH] driver core: restore event order for device_add()Kay Sievers2005-05-231-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | As a result of the split of the kobject-registration and the corresponding hotplug event, the order of events for device_add() has changed. This restores the old order, cause it confused some userspace applications.

* [PATCH] Driver Core: remove driver model detach_stateDavid Brownell2005-05-171-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The driver model has a "detach_state" mechanism that: - Has never been used by any in-kernel drive; - Is superfluous, since driver remove() methods can do the same thing; - Became buggy when the suspend() parameter changed semantics and type; - Could self-deadlock when called from certain suspend contexts; - Is effectively wasted documentation, object code, and headspace. This removes that "detach_state" mechanism; net code shrink, as well as a per-device saving in the driver model and sysfs.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
