In particular, allow over-large read- or write-requests to be downgraded to a more reasonable range, rather than considering them outright errors. We want to protect lower layers from (the sadly all too common) overflow conditions, but prefer to do so by chopping the requests up, rather than just refusing them outright.

Recent udev versions don't longer cover bad sysfs timing with built-in logic. Explicit rules are required to do that. For net devices, the following is needed: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", WAIT_FOR_SYSFS="address" to handle access to net device properties from an event handler without races. This patch changes the main net attributes to be created by the driver core, which is done _before_ the event is sent out and will not require the stat() loop of the WAIT_FOR_SYSFS key.

Block devices need to add the block device name to the symlink they put in the device directory, otherwise multiple symlinks of the same name can be created. This matches the class system, which works the same way, we just forgot to convert block at the same time. Cc: Pete Zaitcev <zaitcev@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: -

Thanks to drivers making their id tables __devinit, we can't allow userspace to bind or unbind drivers from devices manually through sysfs. So we only allow this if CONFIG_HOTPLUG is enabled. Cc: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: -

Here's the patch for modalias support for input classes. It uses comma-separated numbers, and doesn't describe all the potential keys (no module currently cares, and that would make the strings huge). The changes to input.h are to move the definitions needed by file2alias outside __KERNEL__. I chose not to move those definitions to mod_devicetable.h, because there are so many that it might break compile of something else in the kernel. The rest is fairly straightforward. Signed-off-by:

IDE: MODALIAS support for autoloading of ide-cd, ide-disk, ... Add MODULE_ALIAS to IDE midlayer modules: ide-disk, ide-cd, ide-floppy and ide-tape, to autoload these modules depending on the probed media type of the IDE device. It is used by udev and replaces the former agent shell script of the hotplug package, which was required to lookup the media type in the proc filesystem. Using proc was racy, cause the media file is created after the hotplug event is sent out. The module autoloading does not take any effect, until something like the following udev rule is configured: SUBSYSTEM=="ide", ACTION=="add", ENV{MODALIAS}=="?*", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe $env{MODALIAS}" The module ide-scsi will not be autoloaded, cause it requires manual configuration. It can't be, and never was supported for automatic setup in the hotplug package. Adding a MODULE_ALIAS to ide-scsi for all supported media types, would just lead to a default blacklist entry anyway. $ modinfo ide-disk filename: /lib/modules/2.6.15-rc4-g1b0997f5/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-disk.ko description: ATA DISK Driver alias: ide:*m-disk* license: GPL ... $ modprobe -vn ide:m-disk insmod /lib/modules/2.6.15-rc4-g1b0997f5/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-disk.ko $ cat /sys/bus/ide/devices/0.0/modalias ide:m-disk It also adds attributes to the IDE device: $ tree /sys/bus/ide/devices/0.0/ /sys/bus/ide/devices/0.0/ |-- bus -> ../../../../../../../bus/ide |-- drivename |-- media |-- modalias |-- power | |-- state | `-- wakeup `-- uevent $ cat /sys/bus/ide/devices/0.0/{modalias,drivename,media} ide:m-disk hda disk Signed-off-by: -

There are cases in which a device's memory mapped registers overlap with another device's memory mapped registers. On several PowerPC devices this occurs for the MDIO bus, whose registers tended to overlap with one of the ethernet controllers. By switching from request_resource to insert_resource we can register the MDIO bus as a proper platform device and not hack around how we handle its memory mapped registers. Signed-off-by:

The klist reference counting in the find functions that use klist_iter_init_node is broken. If the function (for example driver_find_device) is called with a NULL start object then everything is fine, the first call to next_device()/klist_next increases the ref-count of the first node on the list and does nothing for the start object which is NULL. If they are called with a valid start object then klist_next will decrement the ref-count for the start object but nobody has incremented it. Logical place to fix this would be klist_iter_init_node because the function puts a reference of the object into the klist_iter struct. Signed-off-by:

This patch (as604) makes the driver core hold a device's parent's lock as well as the device's lock during calls to the probe and remove methods in a driver. This facility is needed by USB device drivers, owing to the peculiar way USB devices work: A device provides multiple interfaces, and drivers are bound to interfaces rather than to devices; Nevertheless a reset, reset-configuration, suspend, or resume affects the entire device and requires the caller to hold the lock for the device, not just a lock for one of the interfaces. Since a USB driver's probe method is always called with the interface lock held, the locking order rules (always lock parent before child) prevent these methods from acquiring the device lock. The solution provided here is to call all probe and remove methods, for all devices (not just USB), with the parent lock already acquired. Although currently only the USB subsystem requires these changes, people have mentioned in prior discussion that the overhead of acquiring an extra semaphore in all the prove/remove sequences is not overly large. Up to now, the USB core has been using its own set of private semaphores. A followup patch will remove them, relying entirely on the device semaphores provided by the driver core. The code paths affected by this patch are: device_add and device_del: The USB core already holds the parent lock, so no actual change is needed. driver_register and driver_unregister: The driver core will now lock both the parent and the device before probing or removing. driver_bind and driver_unbind (in sysfs): These routines will now lock both the parent and the device before binding or unbinding. bus_rescan_devices: The helper routine will lock the parent before probing a device. I have not tested this patch for conflicts with other subsystems. As far as I can see, the only possibility of conflict would lie in the bus_rescan_devices pathway, and it seems pretty remote. Nevertheless, it would be good for this to get a lot of testing in -mm. Signed-off-by:

The first of these changes s/hotplug/uevent/ was needed to compile sn2_defconfig (ia64/sn). The other three files changed are blind changes of all remaining bus_type.hotplug references I could find to bus_type.uevent. This patch attempts to finish similar changes made in the gregkh-driver-kill-hotplug-word-from-driver-core Nov 22 patch. Signed-off-by:
