driver core: Introduce device_create_groups

2015-02-20T00:49:37Z

commit 39ef311204941ddd01ea2950d6220c8ccc710d15 upstream. device_create_groups lets callers create devices as well as associated sysfs attributes with a single call. This avoids race conditions seen if sysfs attributes on new devices are created later.

PM / Driver core: leave runtime PM enabled during system shutdown

2011-12-07T21:26:56Z

Disabling all runtime PM during system shutdown turns out not to be a good idea, because some devices may need to be woken up from a low-power state at that time. The whole point of disabling runtime PM for system shutdown was to prevent untimely runtime-suspend method calls. This patch (as1504) accomplishes the same result by incrementing the usage count for each device and waiting for ongoing runtime-PM callbacks to finish. This is what we already do during system suspend and hibernation, which makes sense since the shutdown method is pretty much a legacy analog of the pm->poweroff method. This fixes a recent regression on some OMAP systems introduced by commit af8db1508f2c9f3b6e633e2d2d906c6557c617f9 (PM / driver core: disable device's runtime PM during shutdown).

PM / driver core: disable device's runtime PM during shutdown

2011-11-15T20:52:29Z

There may be an issue when the user issue "reboot/shutdown" command, then the device has shut down its hardware, after that, this runtime-pm featured device's driver will probably be scheduled to do its suspend routine, and at its suspend routine, it may access hardware, but the device has already shutdown physically, then the system hang may be occurred. I ran out this issue using an auto-suspend supported USB devices, like 3G modem, keyboard. The usb runtime suspend routine may be scheduled after the usb controller has been shut down, and the usb runtime suspend routine will try to suspend its roothub(controller), it will access register, then the system hang occurs as the controller is shutdown.

dynamic_debug: Add __dynamic_dev_dbg

2011-08-23T01:23:04Z

Unlike dynamic_pr_debug, dynamic uses of dev_dbg can not currently add task_pid/KBUILD_MODNAME/__func__/__LINE__ to selected debug output. Add a new function similar to dynamic_pr_debug to optionally emit these prefixes.

drivers: make device_type const

2011-04-19T23:45:51Z

The device_type structure does not contain data that changes during usage and should be const. This allows devices to declare the struct const. I have patches to change all the subsystems, but need the infra structure change first. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver core: Replace the dangerous to_root_device macro with an inline function

2011-02-04T00:36:40Z

The original macro worked only when applied to variables named 'dev'. While this could have been fixed by simply renaming the macro argument, a more type-safe replacement by an inline function is preferred. Signed-off-by: Ferenc Wagner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
