2017-12-07	driver core: Remove redundant license text	Greg Kroah-Hartman
	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.

2017-12-07	driver core: add SPDX identifiers to all driver core files	Greg Kroah-Hartman
	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 <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Cc: "Luis R.

2015-03-25	drivers: base: map: Use kmalloc_array instead of kmalloc	Andrei Poenaru
	Reported by checkpatch.pl While at it, removed blank line between function call and error checking. Signed-off-by: Andrei Poenaru <andreigpoenaru@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2006-03-20	[PATCH] kobj_map semaphore to mutex conversion	Jes Sorensen
	Convert the kobj_map code to use a mutex instead of a semaphore. It converts the single two users as well, genhd.c and char_dev.c. Signed-off-by: Jes Sorensen <jes@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2005-03-08	[PATCH] kmap: remove usage of rwsem from kobj_map.	Greg Kroah-Hartman
	This forces the caller to provide the lock, but as they all already had one, it's not a big change. It also removes the now-unneeded cdev_subsys. Thanks to Jon Corbet for reminding me about that. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2004-03-10	[PATCH] Fix a 64bit bug in kobject module request	Andi Kleen
	From Takashi Iwai kobj_lookup had a 64bit bug, which caused the request of a unknown character device to burn CPU instead of failing quickly.

	misc trivial cleanups
2003-05-24	[PATCH] kobj_map	Alexander Viro
	code responsible for gendisk lookups taken out in drivers/base and generalized - now it allows to have a range-based mapping from numbers to kobjects for given struct subsystem.
