- 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.

This klist interface provides a couple of structures that wrap around struct list_head to provide explicit list "head" (struct klist) and list "node" (struct klist_node) objects. For struct klist, a spinlock is included that protects access to the actual list itself. struct klist_node provides a pointer to the klist that owns it and a kref reference count that indicates the number of current users of that node in the list. The entire point is to provide an interface for iterating over a list that is safe and allows for modification of the list during the iteration (e.g. insertion and removal), including modification of the current node on the list. It works using a 3rd object type - struct klist_iter - that is declared and initialized before an iteration. klist_next() is used to acquire the next element in the list. It returns NULL if there are no more items.

It returns NULL if there are no more items. Internally, that routine takes the klist's lock, decrements the reference count of the previous klist_node and increments the count of the next klist_node. It then drops the lock and returns. There are primitives for adding and removing nodes to/from a klist. When deleting, klist_del() will simply decrement the reference count. Only when the count goes to 0 is the node removed from the list. klist_remove() will try to delete the node from the list and block until it is actually removed. This is useful for objects (like devices) that have been removed from the system and must be freed (but must wait until all accessors have finished).

This relocates the driver binding/unbinding code to drivers/base/dd.c. This is done for two reasons: One, it's not code related to the bus_type itself; it uses some from that, some from devices, and some from drivers. And Two, it will make it easier to do some of the upcoming lock removal on that code.. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

One step on improving the class api so that it can not be used incorrectly. This also fixes the module owner issue with the dev files that happened when the devt logic moved to the class core. Based on a patch originally written by Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: -
