Subject: [GIT PATCH] driver core patches for 2.6.31-git

Here is the driver core patchset for the 2.6.31 merge window

It consists of a variety of different things:
- devtmpfs. This has been discussed a lot, is tiny,
self-contained, and has been acked by all of the major distros
as something they will use, and it has been used in the SuSE
kernels for quite some time now.
- driver core cleanups
- debugfs documentation updates
- uio drivers
- hplio driver updates (for some reason they came in through
this tree due to procedural issues, they are self-contained).
- other minor stuff.

Please pull from:
master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core-2.6.git/

All of these patches have been in the linux-next and mm trees for a
long time.

The patches will be sent as a follow-on to this message to lkml for people
to see.

thanks,

greg k-h

Subject: [PATCH 01/20] Driver core: add new device to bus's list before probing

From: Alan Stern <[email protected]>

This patch (as1271) affects when new devices get linked into their
bus's list of devices. Currently this happens after probing, and it
doesn't happen at all if probing fails. Clearly this is wrong,
because at that point quite a few symbolic links have already been
created in sysfs. We are committed to adding the device, so it should
be linked into the bus's list regardless.

In addition, this needs to happen before the uevent announcing the new
device gets issued. Otherwise user programs might try to access the
device before it has been added to the bus.

To fix both these problems, the patch moves the call to
klist_add_tail() forward from bus_attach_device() to bus_add_device().
Since bus_attach_device() now does nothing but probe for drivers, it
has been renamed to bus_probe_device(). And lastly, the kerneldoc is
updated.

Subject: [PATCH 02/20] Driver core: move dev_get/set_drvdata to drivers/base/dd.c

No one should directly access the driver_data field, so remove the field
and make it private. We dynamically create the private field now if it
is needed, to handle drivers that call get/set before they are
registered with the driver core.

Also update the copyright notices on these files while we are there.

Subject: [PATCH 06/20] mem_class: use minor as index instead of searching the array

From: Kay Sievers <[email protected]>

Declare the device list with the minor numbers as the index, which saves us from
searching for a matching list entry. Remove old devfs permissions declaration.

Subject: [PATCH 07/20] mem_class: fix bug

From: Jin Dongming <[email protected]>

When I build and boot -next on fedora 10, I can not login anymore.
When I input the user name and password, the system does not output
any message and requires user to input the user name and password
again and again.

I find the patch which caused this problem with "GIT BISECT" command.
And the patch is
commit 7c4b7daa1878972ed0137c95f23569124bd6e2b1
"mem_class: use minor as index instead of searching the array".

Though I don't know the real reason why user could not login, I
confirmed the patch I made as following could resolve the problem on
fedora 10.

Placing dma-coherent.c in driver/base is better than in kernel,
since it contains code to do per-device coherent dma memory

Subject: [PATCH 09/20] uio: add generic driver for PCI 2.3 devices

From: Michael S. Tsirkin <[email protected]>

This adds a generic uio driver that can bind to any PCI device. First
user will be virtualization where a qemu userspace process needs to give
guest OS access to the device.

Interrupts are handled using the Interrupt Disable bit in the PCI
command register and Interrupt Status bit in the PCI status register.
All devices compliant to PCI 2.3 (circa 2002) and all compliant PCI
Express devices should support these bits. Driver detects this support,
and won't bind to devices which do not support the Interrupt Disable Bit
in the command register.

It's expected that more features of interest to virtualization will be
added to this driver in the future. Possibilities are: mmap for device
resources, MSI/MSI-X, eventfd (to interface with kvm), iommu.

+<title>Generic PCI UIO driver</title>
+ <para>
+ The generic driver is a kernel module named uio_pci_generic.
+ It can work with any device compliant to PCI 2.3 (circa 2002) and
+ any compliant PCI Express device. Using this, you only need to
+ write the userspace driver, removing the need to write
+ a hardware-specific kernel module.
+ </para>
+
+<sect1 id="uio_pci_generic_binding">
+<title>Making the driver recognize the device</title>
+ <para>
+Since the driver does not declare any device ids, it will not get loaded
+automatically and will not automatically bind to any devices, you must load it
+and allocate id to the driver yourself. For example:
+ <programlisting>
+ modprobe uio_pci_generic
+ echo &quot;8086 10f5&quot; &gt; /sys/bus/pci/drivers/uio_pci_generic/new_id
+ </programlisting>
+ </para>
+ <para>
+If there already is a hardware specific kernel driver for your device, the
+generic driver still won't bind to it, in this case if you want to use the
+generic driver (why would you?) you'll have to manually unbind the hardware
+specific driver and bind the generic driver, like this:
+ <programlisting>
+ echo -n 0000:00:19.0 &gt; /sys/bus/pci/drivers/e1000e/unbind
+ echo -n 0000:00:19.0 &gt; /sys/bus/pci/drivers/uio_pci_generic/bind
+ </programlisting>
+ </para>
+ <para>
+You can verify that the device has been bound to the driver
+by looking for it in sysfs, for example like the following:
+ <programlisting>
+ ls -l /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:19.0/driver
+ </programlisting>
+Which if successful should print
+ <programlisting>
+ .../0000:00:19.0/driver -&gt; ../../../bus/pci/drivers/uio_pci_generic
+ </programlisting>
+Note that the generic driver will not bind to old PCI 2.2 devices.
+If binding the device failed, run the following command:
+ <programlisting>
+ dmesg
+ </programlisting>
+and look in the output for failure reasons
+ </para>

+On each interrupt, uio_pci_generic sets the Interrupt Disable bit.

Subject: [PATCH 10/20] Driver core: Add support for compatibility classes

From: Jean Delvare <[email protected]>

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.

Subject: [PATCH 13/20] hpilo: add interrupt handler

From: David Altobelli <[email protected]>

Add interrupt handler to hpilo. This is enablement for poll handler,
and it also simplifies the logic for handling an iLO reset, because now
only the interrupt handler needs to look for reset, the file system
interfaces only need to return failure when a reset has happened.

Subject: [PATCH 20/20] Driver Core: devtmpfs - kernel-maintained tmpfs-based /dev

From: Kay Sievers <[email protected]>

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.

This patch has several checkpatch errors wrt. the spacing used in the
array index..

Kay, can you send a follow up patch to correct them?

I think they are fine, and properly aligned to be best readable.

We already have a coding style in Linux which doesn't allow this type of
alignment .. If we allowed everyone to pick their own coding style we
would have a pretty ugly looking kernel.. That's why the checkpatch tool
was create to test for style conformance.. If you feel strongly about
this alignment you could change checkpatch not to warn on this , but I
don't think it's likely a change like that would be accepted..

I explicitly ignored the checkpatch warnings here, as Kay is right, it
does look better and is more sane with the way he wrote it.

Remember, checkpatch.pl is a _guide_ not a
hard-and-fast-rule-or-else-puppies-will-get-hurt type of a thing.

The whole reason for having a consistant coding style is so your brain
gets used to patterns and you can see the context of the code instead.
It's a proven thing. Arguing that removing that space makes it easier
to understand and maintain over time is illogical.

I agree It can depend on context , but I don't agree that it's needed
here..

In this case space or no space it really doesn't matter, since half the
lines are spaced with ifdefs ..

So it boils down to just these lines,

+ [ 5] = { "zero", &zero_fops, &zero_bdi },
+ [ 6] = { "full", &full_fops, NULL },
+ [ 7] = { "random", &random_fops, NULL },
+ [ 9] = { "urandom", &urandom_fops, NULL },
+ [11] = { "kmsg", &kmsg_fops, NULL },

or properly formatted like this,

+ [5] = { "zero", &zero_fops, &zero_bdi },
+ [6] = { "full", &full_fops, NULL },
+ [7] = { "random", &random_fops, NULL },
+ [9] = { "urandom", &urandom_fops, NULL },
+ [11] = { "kmsg", &kmsg_fops, NULL },

I don't see a stark difference. Now you have to contend with the fact
that checkpatch spews errors on these lines .. If your going to allow
errors you better be getting your moneys worth since you'll have to
defend them , and ignore patches to clean them up.

In terms of maintaining these actual lines of code, I don't think it
matters either.. However, the more style errors you allow into a tree
the more clean up patches you will have to ignore, or explain away..
Which is all just wasted work either by you or others that could be
better spent doing other stuff .. In general I think everything should
be style clean unless there is a concrete reason not to be..

Don't you mean "their"? (hey, I can be nit-picky too...)

And yes, but the engineering model of the kernel development cycle is
that engineer hours are wasted and thrown away all the time. They are
surplus, sorry. That's how life works here.

Yeah, I'll send you a clean up email for that tomorrow ;)

It's like we're driving the SUVs that run on engineering hours ? Just
imagine the electrical power savings you would get if you had 1000 less
emails send to you daily .. But seriously, why waste people time if it
can be prevented ..

Less checkpatch errors, less wasted time, better for the environment..

It does? What code is that, the following line in prepare_namespace():
devtmpfs_mount("dev");
?

What is the problem with that?

For that one line? If this call is not the correct way to do this, or
it should be done somewhere else, please let us know.

The patch has been posted for review many times and has been in the
-next and -mm releases for over 2 merge windows, which has gotten it a
lot of exposure and testing and review. This is the first time I recall
this issue being raised.

thanks,

Grr, as Greg didn't Cc the actual patches to Linus here's the objection
again:

- it mounts a filesystem into the init (aka global) namespace on mount
for no good reason
- it then manipulates it using the high-level VFS functions which it
could just do on any filesystem if it really wanted

These lots of dicussions were basically people telling Greg that he
should come up wit ha real problem instead of just pushing it for it's
own sake. Arjan And Eric have very well refuted the spped claim.

NACK from me from the VFS point of view - this is devfs 2.0, just worse
than the last version of devfs 1. I would really really like to head
what the udev folks actually want instead of pushing in this crap.

Huh? It only does this if you ask it to, that is a separate config
option.

And I have never heard this complaint, in the 6 or so months that this
has been discussed.

I don't understand what you are trying to object to here. What is wrong
with that?

And Kay and I and many others have refuted the "it's only about speed"
claim :)

And yes, it is about speed, and using single, simple tools instead of
having to write another version of udev again (which is what Arjan had
to do). And it's also about simplicity, which is what the distro kernel
maintainers like about it and why they agreed to sign-off on the patch
after testing it in their boot environments and configurations.

Hey, as one who actually remembers, and read the devfs 1 code, that's
really harsh :(

This looks, and works, and interacts with the kernel in a _totally_
different way than devfs used to. The races that were in devfs are not
there, and the naming scheme and intrusiveness are also not there.
In fact, everything that was objected to in the original devfs is not
there as well.

I don't understand this sentence.

I understand that some people do not like the idea of this code. But
others do. It's completly self-contained, tiny, and easy to handle.
All of the major distros want it, one of them is already shipping it to
customers, and the embedded developers and distros are jumping up in joy
over it.

Think of it as a filesystem or a driver that you don't want to use. If
you don't configure it into your kernel, you _never_ have to deal with
it or even read the code. Others will maintain it over time, you do not
have to.

thanks,

Subject: Driver Core: devtmpfs - kernel-maintained tmpfs-based /dev
Cc: Greg KH <[email protected]>, Jan Blunck <[email protected]>
Message-ID: <1241097822.2516.3.camel@poy>


From: Kay Sievers <[email protected]>

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.

It's a very bad way to expose kernel state, and the same problem the
original devfs had. A good kernel state filesystem is immutable to
changes from userspace, that is fully controlled by the kernel. The
problem with devfs and your new devfstmpfs is that you have both
userspace and the kernel manipulating the same object. Which for
example makes life time management impossible.

As many people have asked you already then come up with a description
of what you actually want. You ealize you're acting exactly like those
"But we need feature $FOO because we have it inhose / on windows / on
solaris" people everyone is upset at on lkml?

It's not. The last version we had in -mm for a while was the rewrite
from Adam richter that did exactly what devtmpfs does - use ramfs
(insteaf of tmpfs now) and use the vfs path helpers to work on it.

I also know who gladly killed it just to re-introduce the same thing
years later, not actually solving any of the problems in it. The only
major-ish difference is that old devfs had explicit calls to create the
node names (and stupid choicses from Good times) while version 2.0 hides
the naming inside the driver core.

It's well defined. When the device goes away, the node is removed, in
the same way the sysfs device is removed, and if userspace has
created/replaced the node, it has control over it and the kernel does
not touch it anymore. There is no known problem with that and no
difference how udev works today on all common systems.

If wanted, at the time you guys come up with a working union-mount, we
can make the kernel-maintained dev-filesystem read-only and mount a
tmpfs on-top of it. But we are not there at the moment.

> I also know who gladly killed it

And for good reason. The naming scheme was as wrong as it could be. We
have a completely different situation today.

> just to re-introduce the same thing years later,

It's not the same at all. There is udev today, and a well-defined way
to work with /dev, synchronized across all distros. Nothing really
changes with devtpmfs, it just gets simpler, has less races, and is a
lot more reliable.

It's a logical extension to sysfs, not much more. We create all the
things in /sys, why shouldn't we create the few nodes too, and make
many things much easier?

Do such people really exist? Nobody ever sent a cleanup patch for any
of the numerous checkpatch errors in drivers/isdn/gigaset. I only get
complaints about them when I submit a patch that touches one of the
affected lines.

Yeah, they do exist .. I've sent numerous checkpatch clean ups.
