sysfs: Fix return values for sysdev_store_{ulong, int}

2008-11-07T03:05:37Z

commit 4e318d7c6c9dd5cdae48bcf61558bbc0c09b12ac upstream SYSFS: Fix return values for sysdev_store_{ulong,int} Always return the full size instead of the consumed length of the string in sysdev_store_{ulong,int} This avoids EINVAL errors in some echo versions.

Driver core: Clarify device cleanup.

2008-10-22T21:21:03Z

commit 5739411acbaa63a6c22c91e340fdcdbcc7d82a51 upstream Make the comments on how to use device_initialize(), device_add() and device_register() a bit clearer - in particular, explicitly note that put_device() must be used once we tried to add the device to the hierarchy.

Driver core: Fix cleanup in device_create_vargs().

2008-10-22T21:21:01Z

commit 286661b3777897220ecfcd774bccc68a34667f39 upstream If device_register() in device_create_vargs() fails, the device must be cleaned up with put_device() (which is also fine on NULL) instead of kfree(). Signed-off-by: Cornelia Huck Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

PM: Remove WARN_ON from device_pm_add

2008-08-21T17:15:37Z

PM: Remove WARN_ON from device_pm_add Fix message in device_pm_add() saying that the device will not be added to dpm_list, although in fact the device is going to be added to the list regardless of the ordering violation. Remove the WARN_ON(true) triggered in that situation, because it is hit by USB very often and spams the users' logs. This patch fixes bug #11263 Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

driver core: add init_name to struct device

2008-08-21T17:15:37Z

This gives us a way to handle both the bus_id and init_name values being used for a while during the transition period. Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

PM: don't skip device PM init when CONFIG_PM_SLEEP isn't set and CONFIG_PM is set

2008-08-21T17:15:36Z

This patch (as1124) fixes a couple of bugs in the PM core. The new dev->power.status field should be initialized regardless of whether CONFIG_PM_SLEEP is enabled, and similarly dpm_sysfs_add() should be called whenever CONFIG_PM is enabled. The patch separates out the call to dpm_sysfs_add() from the call to device_pm_add(). As a result device_pm_add() can no longer return an error, so its return type is changed to void.

driver model: anti-oopsing medicine

2008-08-21T17:15:36Z

Anti-oops medicine for the class iterators ... the oops was observed when a class was implicitly referenced before it was initialized. [Modified by Greg to spit a warning back so someone knows to fix their code] Signed-off-by: David Brownell Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

dev_printk(): constify the `dev' argument

2008-08-21T17:15:36Z

Add const markings to dev_name and dev_driver_string to make it clear that dev_printk doesn't modify dev. This is a prerequisite to adding more const markings to other functions make it clearer, which functions can modify dev and which can't.
