device.h: move 'struct class' stuff out to device/class.h

2019-12-16T09:11:14Z

device.h has everything and the kitchen sink when it comes to struct device things, so split out the struct class things things to a separate .h file to make things easier to maintain and manage over time.

driver core: move device->knode_class to device_private

2019-01-18T15:55:48Z

As the description of struct device_private says, it stores data which is private to driver core. And it already has similar fields like: knode_parent, knode_driver, knode_driver and knode_bus. This look it is more proper to put knode_class together with those fields to make it private to driver core. This patch move device->knode_class to device_private to make it comply with code convention. Signed-off-by: Wei Yang Reviewed-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver core: Remove redundant license text

2017-12-07T17:36:44Z

Now that the SPDX tag is in all driver core files, that identifies the license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all. This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never needed. No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

driver core: add SPDX identifiers to all driver core files

2017-12-07T17:36:43Z

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to audit the kernel tree for correct licenses. Update the driver core files files with the correct SPDX license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart. Cc: Johannes Berg Cc: "Luis R.

driver core: remove class_attrs from struct class

2017-06-09T08:41:00Z

This field is no longer used or needed (use class_groups instead), so it can be removed along with the driver core functionality that created and removed these files. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver core: class: add class_groups support

2016-11-29T20:12:12Z

struct class needs to have a set of default groups that are added, as adding individual attributes does not work well in the long run. So add support for that. Future patches will convert the existing usages of class_attrs to use class_groups and then class_attrs will go away. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sysfs: make attr namespace interface less convoluted

2013-09-26T21:50:01Z

sysfs ns (namespace) implementation became more convoluted than necessary while trying to hide ns information from visible interface. The relatively recent attr ns support is a good example. * attr ns tag is determined by sysfs_ops->namespace() callback while dir tag is determined by kobj_type->namespace(). The placement is arbitrary. * Instead of performing operations with explicit ns tag, the namespace callback is routed through sysfs_attr_ns(), sysfs_ops->namespace(), class_attr_namespace(), class_attr->namespace(). It's not simpler in any sense. The only thing this convolution does is traversing the whole stack backwards. The namespace callbacks are unncessary because the operations involved are inherently synchronous. The information can be provided in in straight-forward top-down direction and reversing that direction is unnecessary and against basic design principles. This backward interface is unnecessarily convoluted and hinders properly separating out sysfs from driver model / kobject for proper layering. This patch updates attr ns support such that * sysfs_ops->namespace() and class_attr->namespace() are dropped. * sysfs_{create|remove}_file_ns(), which take explicit @ns param, are added and sysfs_{create|remove}_file() are now simple wrappers around the ns aware functions. * ns handling is dropped from sysfs_chmod_file(). Nobody uses it at this point. sysfs_chmod_file_ns() can be added later if necessary. * Explicit @ns is propagated through class_{create|remove}_file_ns() and netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns(). * driver/net/bonding which is currently the only user of attr namespace is updated to use netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns() with @bh->net as the ns tag instead of using the namespace callback. This patch should be an equivalent conversion without any functional difference. It makes the code easier to follow, reduces lines of code a bit and helps proper separation and layering.

sysfs.h: remove attr_name() macro

2013-08-22T17:25:34Z

Gotta love a macro that doesn't reduce the typing you have to do. Also, only the driver core, and one network driver uses this. The driver core functions will be going away soon, and I'll convert the network driver soon to not need this as well, so delete it for now before anyone else gets some bright ideas and wants to use it.
