[PATCH] HVCS fixes
Here are a set of HVCS (drivers/char/hvcs.c) fixes that were suggested by Jeff Garzik on July 29th in his review of this driver as well as some other fixes for problems I found while reviewing the driver. These are all relatively minor, but necessary. - Cleaned up curly braces on single line conditional blocks. - Replaced debug memset(...,0x3F,...) with memset(...,0x00,...). - Removed explicit '= 0' after static int declarations since these default to zero. - Removed list_for_each_safe() instances and replaced with list_for_each_entry() which cut down on amt of code. The 'safe' version is un-needed now that the driver is using spinlocks. - Changed spin_lock_irqsave() to spin_lock() when locking hvcs_structs_lock and hvcs_pi_lock since these are not touched in an int handler. - changed spin_lock_irqsave() to spin_lock() in interrupt handler. - Initialized hvcs_structs_lock and hvcs_pi_lock to SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED at declaration tiem rather than in hvcs_module_init(). - Added spin_lock around list_del() in destroy_hvcs_struct() to protect the list traversal from deletion. The original omission was an oversight. - Removed '= NULL' from pointer declarations since they are initialized NULL by default. - Removed wmb() instance from hvcs_try_write(). They probably aren't needed with locking in place. - Added check and cleanup for hvcs_pi_buff = kmalloc() in hvcs_module_init(). - Exposed hvcs_struct.index via a sysfs attribute so that the coupling between /dev/hvcs* and a vty-server can be systematically determined. - Moved kobject_put() in hvcs_open() outside of the spin_unlock_irqrestore(). - In hvcs_probe() changed kmalloc(sizeof(*hvcsd),...) to kmalloc(sizeof(struct hvcs_struct)) because hvcsd references a NULL pointer at the time of kmalloc. - Incremented the HVCS_DRIVER_VERSION to 1.3.1 arch/ppc64/kernel/hvcserver.c: - Changed function documentation of EXPORTed functions to comply with proper kernel-doc documentation style. - Changed 'unsigned int' types to 'uint32_t' to comply with how unit addresses and partition IDs are handled in other arch/ppc64 vterm code. - Cleaned up curly braces on single line conditional blocks. include/asm-ppc64/hvcserver.h: - Added kernel-doc style documentation for hvcs_partner_info struct. - changed 'unsigned int' types to 'uint32_t' to comply with how unit addresses and partition IDs are handled in other arch/ppc64 vterm code.
