x86, setup: Fix EDD3.0 data verification.

2011-04-27T21:16:12Z

Check for nonzero path in edd_has_edd30() has no sense. First, it looks at the wrong memory. Device path starts at offset 30 of the info->params structure which is at offset 8 from the beginning of info structure, but code looks at info + 4 instead. This was correct when code was introduced, but around v2.6.4 three more fields were added to edd_info structure (commit 66b61a5c in history.git). Second, even if it will check correct memory it will always succeed since at offset 30 (params->key) there will be non-zero values otherwise previous check would fail. The patch replaces this bogus check with one that verifies checksum. Signed-off-by: Gleb Natapov Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110426082132.GG2265@redhat.com Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin

edd: fix possible memory leak in edd_init() error path

2010-08-10T03:45:09Z

The error may happen at any iteration of the for loop, this patch properly unregisters already registed edd_devices in error path.

Driver core: Constify struct sysfs_ops in struct kobj_type

2010-03-08T01:04:49Z

Constify struct sysfs_ops. This is part of the ops structure constification effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al. Benefits of this constification: * prevents modification of data that is shared (referenced) by many other structure instances at runtime * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional) modification attempts on archs that enforce read-only kernel data at runtime * potentially better optimized code as the compiler can assume that the const data cannot be changed * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata and therefore exclude them from false sharing Signed-off-by: Emese Revfy Acked-by: David Teigland Acked-by: Matt Domsch Acked-by: Maciej Sosnowski Acked-by: Hans J.

Kobject: convert drivers/* from kobject_unregister() to kobject_put()

2008-01-25T04:40:40Z

There is no need for kobject_unregister() anymore, thanks to Kay's kobject cleanup changes, so replace all instances of it with kobject_put(). Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Kobject: change drivers/firmware/edd.c to use kobject_init_and_add

2008-01-25T04:40:26Z

Stop using kobject_register, as this way we can control the sending of the uevent properly, after everything is properly initialized. Cc: Matt Domsch Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

firmware: change firmware_kset to firmware_kobj

2008-01-25T04:40:23Z

There is no firmware "subsystem" it's just a directory in /sys that other portions of the kernel want to hook into. So make it a kobject not a kset to help alivate anyone who tries to do some odd kset-like things with this. Cc: Kay Sievers Cc: Cornelia Huck Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

kset: convert edd to use kset_create

2008-01-25T04:40:23Z

Dynamically create the kset instead of declaring it statically. Cc: Kay Sievers Cc: Matt Domsch Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
