2010-07-30PCI: Allow read/write access to sysfs I/O port resourcesAlex Williamson1-2/+5
PCI sysfs resource files currently only allow mmap'ing. On x86 this works fine for memory backed BARs, but doesn't work at all for I/O port backed BARs. Add read/write to I/O port PCI sysfs resource files to allow userspace access to these device regions.

2009-03-21PCI: Introduce /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../removeAlex Chiang1-0/+10
This patch adds an attribute named "remove" to a PCI device's sysfs directory. Writing a non-zero value to this attribute will remove the PCI device and any children of it. Trent Piepho wrote the original implementation and documentation. Thanks to Vegard Nossum for testing under kmemcheck and finding locking issues with the sysfs interface.

2009-02-05PCI: return error on failure to read PCI ROMsTimothy S. Nelson1-1/+12
This patch makes the ROM reading code return an error to user space if the size of the ROM read is equal to 0. The patch also emits a warnings if the contents of the ROM are invalid, and documents the effects of the "enable" file on ROM reading. Signed-off-by: Timothy S.

For the ranges with IORESOURCE_PREFETCH, export a new resource_wc interface in pci /sysfs along with resource (which is uncached).

2006-01-09[PATCH] PCI: document sysfs rom file interfaceJesse Barnes1-6/+15
idr gently pointed out today that not only is the sysfs rom file interface somewhat unintuitive (despite my efforts and initial implementation), but it's also undocumented! This patch to Documentation/filesystems/sysfs-pci.txt corrects the latter problem; the former is a userland ABI now though, so we're stuck with it for awhile at least.

2005-05-18[PATCH] Driver Core: remove driver model detach_stateDavid Brownell1-4/+2
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.

2005-04-17Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds1-0/+88
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!
