char: remove tile-srom.c

2018-03-26T13:56:34+00:00

The tile architecture is being removed, so we no longer need this driver. Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

tile-srom: allow the driver to be built as a module

2016-11-10T14:18:56+00:00

The code was already configured that way, but the Kconfig file didn't support requesting it. A buglet caused a null pointer deref when unloading the module, but this commit also corrects that issue. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tile-srom: avoid krealloc(... __GFP_ZERO) pattern

2016-08-30T12:45:50+00:00

Joe Perches points out [1] that this pattern isn't currently safe. This driver doesn't really need the zeroing semantic anyway; by restructuring the code slightly we can initialize all the fields of the structure up front instead.

fs: move struct kiocb to fs.h

2015-03-26T00:28:11+00:00

struct kiocb now is a generic I/O container, so move it to fs.h. Also do a #include diet for aio.h while we're at it. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Al Viro

char: tile-srom: Add real platform bus parent

2014-10-02T14:19:34+00:00

Add a real platform bus device as a parent for the srom class devices, to prevent non-platform devices hanging from the bus root. Signed-off-by: Pawel Moll Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

drivers/char: delete non-required instances of include

2014-02-07T23:10:19+00:00

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives and hence don't need to include . Most are just a left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to code getting copied from one driver to the next.

Merge tag 'PTR_RET-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux

2013-09-05T00:31:11+00:00

Pull PTR_RET() removal patches from Rusty Russell: "PTR_RET() is a weird name, and led to some confusing usage. We ended up with PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(), and replacing or fixing all the usages. This has been sitting in linux-next for a whole cycle" [ There are still some PTR_RET users scattered about, with some of them possibly being new, but most of them existing in Rusty's tree too. We have that #define PTR_RET(p) PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(p) thing in , so they continue to work for now - Linus ] * tag 'PTR_RET-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux: GFS2: Replace PTR_RET with PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO Btrfs: volume: Replace PTR_RET with PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO drm/cma: Replace PTR_RET with PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO sh_veu: Replace PTR_RET with PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO dma-buf: Replace PTR_RET with PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO drivers/rtc: Replace PTR_RET with PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO mm/oom_kill: remove weird use of ERR_PTR()/PTR_ERR(). staging/zcache: don't use PTR_RET(). remoteproc: don't use PTR_RET(). pinctrl: don't use PTR_RET(). acpi: Replace weird use of PTR_RET. s390: Replace weird use of PTR_RET.

char: tile-srom: fix build error

2013-07-25T20:50:30+00:00

This fixes the build error: drivers/char/tile-srom.c:307:2: warning: missing braces around initializer [-Wmissing-braces] and the resulting fallout for the missing '*' character, sorry, my fault... Reported-by: kbuild test robot Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tile: srom: convert srom_class to use dev_groups

2013-07-24T22:39:04+00:00

The dev_attrs field of struct class is going away soon, dev_groups should be used instead. This converts the tile srom_class code to use the correct field. Cc: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

PTR_RET is now PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(): Replace most.
