2011-03-15PM: Add support for device power domainsRafael J. Wysocki1-0/+1
The platform bus type is often used to handle Systems-on-a-Chip (SoC) where all devices are represented by objects of type struct platform_device. In those cases the same "platform" device driver may be used with multiple different system configurations, but the actions needed to put the devices it handles into a low-power state and back into the full-power state may depend on the design of the given SoC. The driver, however, cannot possibly include all the information necessary for the power management of its device on all the systems it is used with. Moreover, the device hierarchy in its current form also is not suitable for representing this kind of information. The patch below attempts to address this problem by introducing objects of type struct dev_power_domain that can be used for representing power domains within a SoC. Every struct dev_power_domain object provides a sets of device power management callbacks that can be used to perform what's needed for device power management in addition to the operations carried out by the device's driver and subsystem. Namely, if a struct dev_power_domain object is pointed to by the pwr_domain field in a struct device, the callbacks provided by its ops member will be executed in addition to the corresponding callbacks provided by the device's subsystem and driver during all power transitions.

2010-10-22SYSFS: Allow boot time switching between deprecated and modern sysfs layoutAndi Kleen1-0/+7
I have some systems which need legacy sysfs due to old tools that are making assumptions that a directory can never be a symlink to another directory, and it's a big hazzle to compile separate kernels for them. This patch turns CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED into a run time option that can be switched on/off the kernel command line. This way the same binary can be used in both cases with just a option on the command line. The old CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 option is still there to set the default. I kept the weird name to not break existing config files. Also the compat code can be still completely disabled by undefining CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_SWITCH -- just the optimizer takes care of this now instead of lots of ifdefs. This makes the code look nicer. v2: This is an updated version on top of Kay's patch to only handle the block devices. I tested it on my old systems and that seems to work.

2010-08-05Driver core: Add BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVERMagnus Damm1-3/+5
Add BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER as a bus notifier event. For driver binding/unbinding we with this in place have the following bus notifier events: - BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER - before ->probe() - BUS_NOTIFY_BOUND_DRIVER - after ->probe() - BUS_NOTIFY_UNBIND_DRIVER - before ->remove() - BUS_NOTIFY_UNBOUND_DRIVER - after ->remove() The event BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER allows bus code to be notified that ->probe() is about to be called. Useful for bus code that needs to setup hardware before the driver gets to run. With this in place platform drivers can be loaded and unloaded as modules and the new BIND event allows bus code to control for instance device clocks that must be enabled before the driver can be executed. Without this patch there is no way for the bus code to get notified that a modular driver is about to be probed.

2010-08-05Driver core: Drop __must_check from bus_for_each_drv()Jean Delvare1-3/+2
There is little rationale for marking bus_for_each_drv() __must_check. It is more of an iteration helper than a real function. You don't know in advance which callback it will be used on, so you have no clue how important it can be to check the returned value. In practice, this helper function can be used for best-effort tasks. As a matter of fact, bus_for_each_dev() is not marked __must_check. So remove it from bus_for_each_drv() as well. This is the same that was done back in October 2006 by Russell King for device_for_each_child(), for exactly the same reasons.

2010-04-28driver-core: Add device node pointer to struct deviceGrant Likely1-0/+4
Currently, platforms using CONFIG_OF add a 'struct device_node *of_node' to dev->archdata. However, with CONFIG_OF becoming generic for all architectures, it makes sense for commonality to move it out of archdata and into struct device proper. This patch adds a struct device_node *of_node member to struct device and updates all locations which currently write the device_node pointer into archdata to also update dev->of_node. Subsequent patches will modify callers to use the archdata location and ultimately remove the archdata member entirely.

2010-03-10driver core: Early dev_name() support.Paul Mundt1-0/+4
Presently early platform devices suffer from the fact they are unable to use dev_xxx() calls early on due to dev_name() and others being unavailable at the time ->probe() is called. This implements early init_name construction from the matched name/id pair following the semantics of the late device/driver match. As a result, matched IDs (inclusive of requested ones) are preserved when the handoff from the early platform code happens at kobject initialization time. Since we still require kmalloc slabs to be available at this point, using kstrdup() for establishing the init_name works fine. This subsequently needs to be tested from dev_name() prior to the init_name being cleared by the driver core. We don't kfree() since others will already have a handle on the string long before the kobject initialization takes place. This is also needed to permit drivers to use the clock framework early, without having to manually construct their own device IDs from the match id/name pair locally (needed by the early console and timer code on sh and arm).

2010-03-07Driver core: create lock/unlock functions for struct deviceGreg Kroah-Hartman1-1/+16
In the future, we are going to be changing the lock type for struct device (once we get the lockdep infrastructure properly worked out) To make that changeover easier, and to possibly burry the lock in a different part of struct device, let's create some functions to lock and unlock a device so that no out-of-core code needs to be changed in the future. This patch creates the device_lock/unlock/trylock() functions, and converts all in-tree users to them.

2010-02-26PM: Asynchronous suspend and resume of devicesRafael J. Wysocki1-0/+6
Theoretically, the total time of system sleep transitions (suspend to RAM, hibernation) can be reduced by running suspend and resume callbacks of device drivers in parallel with each other. However, there are dependencies between devices such that we're not allowed to suspend the parent of a device before suspending the device itself. Analogously, we're not allowed to resume a device before resuming its parent. The most straightforward way to take these dependencies into accout is to start the async threads used for suspending and resuming devices at the core level, so that async_schedule() is called for each suspend and resume callback supposed to be executed asynchronously. For this purpose, introduce a new device flag, power.async_suspend, used to mark the devices whose suspend and resume callbacks are to be executed asynchronously (ie. in parallel with the main suspend/resume thread and possibly in parallel with each other) and helper function device_enable_async_suspend() allowing one to set power.async_suspend for given device (power.async_suspend is unset by default for all devices). For each device with the power.async_suspend flag set the PM core will use async_schedule() to execute its suspend and resume callbacks. The async threads started for different devices as a result of calling async_schedule() are synchronized with each other and with the main suspend/resume thread with the help of completions, in the following way: (1) There is a completion, power.completion, for each device object. (2) Each device's completion is reset before calling async_schedule() for the device or, in the case of devices with the power.async_suspend flags unset, before executing the device's suspend and resume callbacks. (3) During suspend, right before running the bus type, device type and device class suspend callbacks for the device, the PM core waits for the completions of all the device's children to be completed. (4) During resume, right before running the bus type, device type and device class resume callbacks for the device, the PM core waits for the completion of the device's parent to be completed. (5) The PM core completes power.completion for each device right after the bus type, device type and device class suspend (or resume) callbacks executed for the device have returned.

2009-09-15Driver Core: devtmpfs - kernel-maintained tmpfs-based /devKay Sievers1-0/+10
Devtmpfs lets the kernel create a tmpfs instance called devtmpfs very early at kernel initialization, before any driver-core device is registered. Every device with a major/minor will provide a device node in devtmpfs. Devtmpfs can be changed and altered by userspace at any time, and in any way needed - just like today's udev-mounted tmpfs. Unmodified udev versions will run just fine on top of it, and will recognize an already existing kernel-created device node and use it. The default node permissions are root:root 0600. Proper permissions and user/group ownership, meaningful symlinks, all other policy still needs to be applied by userspace. If a node is created by devtmps, devtmpfs will remove the device node when the device goes away. If the device node was created by userspace, or the devtmpfs created node was replaced by userspace, it will no longer be removed by devtmpfs. If it is requested to auto-mount it, it makes init=/bin/sh work without any further userspace support. /dev will be fully populated and dynamic, and always reflect the current device state of the kernel. With the commonly used dynamic device numbers, it solves the problem where static devices nodes may point to the wrong devices. It is intended to make the initial bootup logic simpler and more robust, by de-coupling the creation of the inital environment, to reliably run userspace processes, from a complex userspace bootstrap logic to provide a working /dev.

2009-09-15Driver core: Add support for compatibility classesJean Delvare1-0/+8
When turning class devices into bus devices, we may need to temporarily add links in sysfs so that user-space applications are not confused. This is done by adding the following API: * Functions to register and unregister compatibility classes. These appear in sysfs at the same location as regular classes, but instead of class devices, they contain links to bus devices. * Functions to create and delete such links. Additionally, the caller can optionally pass a target device to which a "device" link should point (typically that would be the device's parent), to fully emulate the original class device. The i2c subsystem will be the first user of this API, as i2c adapters are being converted from class devices to bus devices.

2009-06-15Driver Core: add nodename callbacksKay Sievers1-0/+3
This adds the nodename callback for struct class, struct device_type and struct device, to allow drivers to send userspace hints on the device name and subdirectory that should be used for it.

2009-06-15driver core: add BUS_NOTIFY_UNBOUND_DRIVER eventJoerg Roedel1-0/+2
This patch adds a new bus notifier event which is emitted _after_ a device is removed from its driver. This event will be used by the dma-api debug code to check if a driver has released all dma allocations for that device.

2009-06-12PM: Remove device_type suspend()/resume()Magnus Damm1-3/+0
This patch removes the legacy callbacks ->suspend() and ->resume() from struct device_type. These callbacks seem unused, and new code should instead make use of struct dev_pm_ops.

2009-06-12PM: Remove bus_type suspend_late()/resume_early() V2Magnus Damm1-2/+0
Remove the ->suspend_late() and ->resume_early() callbacks from struct bus_type V2. These callbacks are legacy stuff at this point and since there seem to be no in-tree users we may as well remove them. New users should use dev_pm_ops.

2009-05-08Revert driver core: move platform_data into platform_deviceGreg Kroah-Hartman1-7/+2
This reverts commit 006f4571a15fae3a0575f2a0f9e9b63b3d1012f8: This patch moves platform_data from struct device into struct platform_device, based on the two ideas: 1. Now all platform_driver is registered by platform_driver_register, which makes probe()/release()/... of platform_driver passed parameter of platform_device *, so platform driver can get platform_data from platform_device; 2. Other kind of devices do not need to use platform_data, we can decrease size of device if moving it to platform_device. Taking into consideration of thousands of files to be fixed and they can't be finished in one night(maybe it will take a long time), so we keep platform_data in device to allow two kind of cases coexist until all platform devices pass its platfrom data from platform_device->platform_data. All patches to do this kind of conversion are welcome. As we don't really want to do it, it was a bad idea.

2009-04-21driver synchronization: make scsi_wait_scan more advancedArjan van de Ven1-0/+1
There is currently only one way for userspace to say "wait for my storage device to get ready for the modules I just loaded": to load the scsi_wait_scan module. Expectations of userspace are that once this module is loaded, all the (storage) devices for which the drivers were loaded before the module load are present. Now, there are some issues with the implementation, and the async stuff got caught in the middle of this: The existing code only waits for the scsy async probing to finish, but it did not take into account at all that probing might not have begun yet. (Russell ran into this problem on his computer and the fix works for him) This patch fixes this more thoroughly than the previous "fix", which had some bad side effects (namely, for kernel code that wanted to wait for the scsi scan it would also do an async sync, which would deadlock if you did it from async context already.. there's a report about that on lkml): The patch makes the module first wait for all device driver probes, and then it will wait for the scsi parallel scan to finish.

2009-03-24dynamic debug: combine dprintk and dynamic printkJason Baron1-1/+1
This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'. The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface, (an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function, file, module, format string, and line number. for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack': echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control to disable them: echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

2009-03-24Driver core: Fix device_move() vs. dpm list ordering, v2Cornelia Huck1-1/+2
dpm_list currently relies on the fact that child devices will be registered after their parents to get a correct suspend order. Using device_move() however destroys this assumption, as an already registered device may be moved under a newly registered one. This patch adds a new argument to device_move(), allowing callers to specify how dpm_list should be adapted.

2009-03-24Driver core: implement uevent suppress in kobjectMing Lei1-1/+10
This patch implements uevent suppress in kobject and removes it from struct device, based on the following ideas: 1,Uevent sending should be one attribute of kobject, so suppressing it in kobject layer is more natural than in device layer. By this way, we can do it for other objects embedded with kobject. 2,It may save several bytes for each instance of struct device.(On my omap3(32bit ARM) based box, can save 8bytes per device object) This patch also introduces dev_set|get_uevent_suppress() helpers to set and query uevent_suppress attribute in case to help kobject as private part of struct device in future.
