From c11c4154e7ff4cebfadad849b1e22689d759c3f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2007 21:31:08 -0800 Subject: kobject: add kobject_init_and_add function Also add a kobject_init_and_add function which bundles up what a lot of the current callers want to do all at once, and it properly handles the memory usages, unlike kobject_register(); Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- lib/kobject.c | 27 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 27 insertions(+) (limited to 'lib') diff --git a/lib/kobject.c b/lib/kobject.c index 329fd1126b3f..8f249408b2ec 100644 --- a/lib/kobject.c +++ b/lib/kobject.c @@ -390,6 +390,33 @@ int kobject_add_ng(struct kobject *kobj, struct kobject *parent, } EXPORT_SYMBOL(kobject_add_ng); +/** + * kobject_init_and_add - initialize a kobject structure and add it to the kobject hierarchy + * @kobj: pointer to the kobject to initialize + * @ktype: pointer to the ktype for this kobject. + * @parent: pointer to the parent of this kobject. + * @fmt: the name of the kobject. + * + * This function combines the call to kobject_init_ng() and + * kobject_add_ng().
