irnet: ppp: move IRNET_MINOR to include/linux/miscdevice.h

2016-12-17T16:17:24Z

This patch move the define for IRNET_MINOR to include/linux/miscdevice.h It is better that all minor number definitions are in the same place. Signed-off-by: Corentin Labbe Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

miscdevice: introduce builtin_misc_device

2016-10-28T12:22:11Z

This is basically the same as module_misc_device but without the presence of an exit/remove function. Similar in nature to the commit f309d4443130bf814e991f836e919dca22df37ae ("platform_device: better support builtin boilerplate avoidance").

miscdevice: Add helper macro for misc device boilerplate

2016-08-31T12:12:35Z

Many modules call misc_register and misc_deregister in its module init and exit methods without any additional code. This ends up being boilerplate. This patch adds helper macro module_misc_device(), that replaces module_init()/ module_exit() with template functions. This patch also converts drivers to use new macro. Change since v1: Add device.h include in miscdevice.h as module_driver macro was not available from other include files in some architectures.

Input: add userio module

2015-10-28T01:55:31Z

Debugging input devices, specifically laptop touchpads, can be tricky without having the physical device handy. Here we try to remedy that with userio. This module allows an application to connect to a character device provided by the kernel, and emulate any serio device. In combination with userspace programs that can record PS/2 devices and replay them through the /dev/userio device, this allows developers to debug driver issues on the PS/2 level with devices simply by requesting a recording from the user experiencing the issue without having to have the physical hardware in front of them.

char: make misc_deregister a void function

2015-08-05T17:35:49Z

With well over 200+ users of this api, there are a mere 12 users that actually checked the return value of this function. And all of them really didn't do anything with that information as the system or module was shutting down no matter what. So stop pretending like it matters, and just return void from misc_deregister(). If something goes wrong in the call, you will get a WARNING splat in the syslog so you know how to fix up your driver. Other than that, there's nothing that can go wrong. Cc: Alasdair Kergon Cc: Neil Brown Cc: Oleg Drokin Cc: Andreas Dilger Cc: "Michael S.

misc: Add attribute groups

2015-03-25T10:44:52Z

Add groups field to struct miscdevice for passing the attribute groups at device creation. In this way, the driver can avoid the manual call of device_create_file() after the device registration, which is basically a racy operation, in addition to the reduction of manual device_remove_file() calls.
