[PATCH] Fix manual binding infinite loop

2005-08-18T05:02:25Z

Fix for manual binding of drivers to devices. Problem is if you pass in a valid device id, but the driver refuses to bind. Infinite loop as write() tries to resubmit the data it just sent. Thanks to Michal Ostrowski for pointing the problem out. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Driver core: potentially fix use after free in class_device_attr_show

2005-08-17T04:06:24Z

This moves the code to free devt_attr from class_device_del() to class_dev_release() which is called after the last reference to the corresponding kobject() is gone. This allows us to keep the devt_attr alive while the corresponding sysfs file is open. Signed-off-by: Maneesh Soni Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[ACPI] ACPI poweroff fix

[PATCH] Driver core: Use klist_del() instead of klist_remove().

2005-06-30T05:48:05Z

Use klist_del() instead of klist_remove() when unregistering devices. This will prevent a deadlock when executing a recursive unregister using device_for_each_child(). Signed-off-by Patrick Mochel Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] driver core: change bus_rescan_devices to return void

2005-06-30T05:48:04Z

No one was looking at the return value of bus_rescan_devices, and it really wasn't anything that anyone in the kernel would ever care about. So change it which enabled some counting code to be removed also. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] driver core: Add the ability to bind drivers to devices from userspace

2005-06-30T05:48:04Z

This adds a single file, "bind", to the sysfs directory of every driver registered with the driver core. To bind a device to a driver, write the bus id of the device you wish to bind to that specific driver to the "bind" file (remember to not add a trailing \n). If that bus id matches a device on that bus, and it does not currently have a driver bound to it, the probe sequence will be initiated with that driver and device. Note, this requires that the driver itself be willing and able to accept that device (usually through a device id type table). This patch does not make it possible to override the driver's id table.

[PATCH] driver core: Add the ability to unbind drivers to devices from userspace

2005-06-30T05:48:04Z

This adds a single file, "unbind", to the sysfs directory of every device that is currently bound to a driver. To unbind the driver from the device, write anything to this file and they will be disconnected from each other. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] driver core: add bus_find_device & driver_find_device functions

2005-06-30T05:48:03Z

Add bus_find_device() and driver_find_device() which allow searching for a device in the bus's resp. the driver's klist and obtain a reference on it. Signed-off-by: Cornelia Huck Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] request_firmware(): avoid race conditions

2005-06-29T04:20:30Z

Avoid race occurs when some process have open file descriptor for class device attributes and already firmware allocated memory are freed. Don't allow negative loading timeout. Signed-off-by: Stanislaw W. Gruszka Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
