PPS: convert class code to use dev_groups

2013-08-20T04:22:34Z

The dev_attrs field of struct class is going away soon, dev_groups should be used instead. This converts the pps class code to use the correct field. Cc: Rodolfo Giometti Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

pps: convert to idr_alloc()

2013-02-28T03:10:18Z

Convert to the much saner new idr interface. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Rodolfo Giometti Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

pps: Fix a use-after free bug when unregistering a source.

2013-02-13T17:40:35Z

Remove the cdev from the system (with cdev_del) *before* deallocating it (in pps_device_destruct, called via kobject_put from device_destroy). Also prevent deallocating a device with open file handles. A better long-term fix is probably to remove the cdev from the pps_device entirely, and instead have all devices reference one global cdev. Then the deallocation ordering becomes simpler. But that's more complex and invasive change, so we leave that for later.

pps: Add pps_lookup_dev() function

2013-02-13T17:40:35Z

The PPS serial line discipline wants to attach a PPS device to a tty without changing the tty code to add a struct pps_device * pointer. Since the number of PPS devices in a typical system is generally very low (n=1 is by far the most common), it's practical to search the entire list of allocated pps devices. (We capture the timestamp before the lookup, so the timing isn't affected.) It is a bit ugly that this function, which is part of the in-kernel PPS API, has to be in pps.c as opposed to kapi,c, but that's not something that affects users.

idr: rename MAX_LEVEL to MAX_IDR_LEVEL

2012-10-05T18:04:56Z

To avoid name conflicts: drivers/video/riva/fbdev.c:281:9: sparse: preprocessor token MAX_LEVEL redefined While at it, also make the other names more consistent and add parentheses.

pps: return PTR_ERR on error in device_create

2012-07-31T00:25:21Z

We should return PTR_ERR if the call to the device_create function fails. Without this patch we instead return the value from a successful call to cdev_add if the call to device_create fails.

pps: class_create() returns an ERR_PTR, not NULL

pps: add kernel consumer support

Add an optional feature of PPSAPI, kernel consumer support, which uses the added hardpps() function. Signed-off-by: Alexander Gordeev Acked-by: Rodolfo Giometti Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

pps: make idr lock a mutex and protect idr_pre_get

2011-01-13T16:03:20Z

Now pps_idr_lock is never used in interrupt context so we can replace spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq with plain spin_lock/spin_unlock. But there is also a potential race condition when someone can steal an id which was allocated by idr_pre_get before it is used. So convert spin lock to mutex and protect the whole id generation process. Signed-off-by: Alexander Gordeev Cc: Rodolfo Giometti Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

pps: move idr stuff to pps.c

2011-01-13T16:03:20Z

Since now idr is only used to manage char device id's and not used in kernel API anymore it should be moved to pps.c. This also makes it possible to release id only at actual device freeing so nobody can register a pps device with the same id while our device is not freed yet.
