[MTD] driver model updates

2009-04-04T13:29:07+00:00

Update driver model support in the MTD framework, so it fits better into the current udev-based hotplug framework: - Each mtd_info now has a device node. MTD drivers should set the dev.parent field to point to the physical device, before setting up partitions or otherwise declaring MTDs. - Those device nodes always map to /sys/class/mtdX device nodes, which no longer depend on MTD_CHARDEV. - Those mtdX sysfs nodes have a "starter set" of attributes; it's not yet sufficient to replace /proc/mtd. - Enabling MTD_CHARDEV provides /sys/class/mtdXro/ nodes and the /sys/class/mtd*/dev attributes (for udev, mdev, etc). - Include a MODULE_ALIAS_CHARDEV_MAJOR macro. It'll work with udev creating the /dev/mtd* nodes, not just a static rootfs. So the sysfs structure is pretty much what you'd expect, except that readonly chardev nodes are a bit quirky.

[PATCH] beginning of methods conversion

2008-10-21T11:47:32+00:00

To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers; to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following: 1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct prototypes, make (few) callers handle both. That's this changeset. 2) for each driver convert to new methods. *ALL* drivers are converted in this series. 3) kill the old (renamed) methods. Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the end of this series no trace of old methods remain. The only reason why we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver debugging if anything goes wrong. New methods: open(bdev, mode) release(disk, mode) ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called without BKL */ compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called with BKL, legacy */ Signed-off-by: Al Viro

MTD/JFFS2: remove CVS keywords

2008-06-04T16:50:17+00:00

Once upon a time, the MTD repository was using CVS. This patch therefore removes all usages of the no longer updated CVS keywords from the MTD code. This also includes code that printed them to the user. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

[MTD] Always initialise mutex in new mtd_blktrans_dev.

2007-12-03T12:46:12+00:00

We were only initialising the mutex in the case where the new device was automatically allocated the highest minor number. If the caller specified a minor number, or if it filled in a free slot which was made by a previous device deregistering, the mutex wouldn't get initialised when we jumped out of the loop.

Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default

2007-07-17T17:23:02+00:00

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
