2008-01-25Kobject: fix coding style issues in kobject c filesGreg Kroah-Hartman2-79/+67
Clean up the kobject.c and kobject_uevent.c files to follow the proper coding style rules. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2008-01-25Driver core: change sysdev classes to use dynamic kobject namesKay Sievers1-9/+5
All kobjects require a dynamically allocated name now. We no longer need to keep track if the name is statically assigned, we can just unconditionally free() all kobject names on cleanup. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2008-01-25Kobject: remove kobject_unregister() as no one uses it anymoreGreg Kroah-Hartman1-17/+0
There are no in-kernel users of kobject_unregister() so it should be removed. Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2008-01-25Kobject: convert remaining kobject_unregister() to kobject_put()Greg Kroah-Hartman1-2/+2
There is no need for kobject_unregister() anymore, thanks to Kay's kobject cleanup changes, so replace all instances of it with kobject_put(). Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2008-01-25Kobject: auto-cleanup on final unrefKay Sievers2-74/+107
We save the current state in the object itself, so we can do proper cleanup when the last reference is dropped. If the initial reference is dropped, the object will be removed from sysfs if needed, if an "add" event was sent, "remove" will be send, and the allocated resources are released. This allows us to clean up some driver core usage as well as allowing us to do other such changes to the rest of the kernel.

2008-01-25Kset: remove kset_add functionGreg Kroah-Hartman1-12/+1

2008-01-25Kobject: remove kobject_register()Greg Kroah-Hartman1-18/+0
The function is no longer used by anyone in the kernel, and it prevents the proper sending of the kobject uevent after the needed files are set up by the caller. kobject_init_and_add() can be used in its place.

2008-01-25Kobject: drop child->parent ref at unregistrationAlan Stern1-3/+4
This patch (as1015) reverts changes that were made to the driver core about four years ago. The intent back then was to avoid certain kinds of invalid memory accesses by leaving kernel objects allocated as long as any of their children were still allocated. The original and correct approach was to wait only as long as any children were still _registered_; that's what this patch reinstates. This fixes a problem in the SCSI core made visible by the class_device to regular device conversion: A reference loop (scsi_device holds reference to request_queue, which is the child of a gendisk, which is the child of the scsi_device) prevents the data structures from being released, even though they are deregistered okay. It's possible that this change will cause a few bugs to surface, things that have been hidden for several years. They can be fixed easily enough by having the child device take an explicit reference to the parent whenever needed.

2008-01-25kobject: clean up debugging messagesGreg Kroah-Hartman2-14/+29
The kobject debugging messages are a mess. This provides a unified message that makes them actually useful. The format for new kobject debug messages should be: kobject: 'KOBJECT_NAME' (ADDRESS): FUNCTION_NAME: message.\n Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2008-01-25kobject: grab the kset reference in kobject_add, not kobject_initGreg Kroah-Hartman1-3/+3
kobject_init should not be grabing any references, but only initializing the object. This patch fixes this, and makes the lock hold-time shorter for when a kset is present in the kobject. The current kernel tree has been audited to verify that this change should be safe. Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2008-01-25Driver Core: kill subsys_attribute and default sysfs opsKay Sievers1-21/+0
Remove the no longer needed subsys_attributes, they are all converted to the more sensical kobj_attributes. There is no longer a magic fallback in sysfs attribute operations, all kobjects which create simple attributes need explicitely a ktype assigned, which tells the core what was intended here.

2008-01-25Driver Core: switch all dynamic ksets to kobj_sysfs_opsKay Sievers1-4/+6

2008-01-25Driver Core: add kobj_attribute handlingKay Sievers1-0/+29
Add kobj_sysfs_ops to replace subsys_sysfs_ops. There is no need for special kset operations, we want to be able to use simple attribute operations at any kobject, not only ksets. The whole concept of any default sysfs attribute operations will go away with the upcoming removal of subsys_sysfs_ops.

Now ksets can be dynamically created on the fly, no static definitions are required. Thanks to Miklos for hints on how to make this work better for the callers. And thanks to Kay for finding some stupid bugs in my original version and pointing out that we need to handle the fact that kobject's can have a kset as a parent and to handle that properly in kobject_add().

Kay pointed out that kobject_set_name was being very stupid, doing two allocations for every call, when it should just be using the kernel function kvasprintf() instead.

2007-12-23lib: proportion: fix underflow in prop_norm_percpu()Peter Zijlstra1-21/+16
Zhe Jiang noticed that its possible to underflow pl->events in prop_norm_percpu() when the value returned by percpu_counter_read() is less than the error on that read and the period delay > 1. In that case half might not trigger the batch increment and the value will be identical on the next iteration, causing the same half to be subtracted again and again. Fix this by rewriting the division as a single subtraction instead of a subtraction loop and using percpu_counter_sum() when the value returned by percpu_counter_read() is smaller than the error. The latter is still needed if we want pl->events to shrink properly in the error region.

2007-12-18sched: mark rwsem functions as __sched for wchan/profilingLivio Soares1-1/+1
This following commit http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=fdf8cb0909b531f9ae8f9b9d7e4eb35ba3505f07 un-inlined a low-level rwsem function, but did not mark it as __sched. The result is that it now shows up as thread wchan (which also affects /proc/profile stats). The following simple patch fixes this by properly marking rwsem_down_failed_common() as a __sched function. Also in this patch, which is up for discussion, marks down_read() and down_write() proper as __sched. For profiling, it is pretty much useless to know that a semaphore is beig help - it is necessary to know _which_ one. By going up another frame on the stack, the information becomes much more useful. In summary, the below change to lib/rwsem.c should be applied; the changes to kernel/rwsem.c could be applied if other kernel hackers agree with my proposal that down_read()/down_write() in the profile is not enough.
