6e3eaab020 [PATCH] modified firmware_class.c to support no hotplug
Upgrade the request_firmware_nowait function to not start the hotplug
action on a firmware update.

This patch is tested along with dell_rbu driver on i386 and x86-64 systems.

d856f1e337 [PATCH] klist: fix klist to have the same klist_add semantics as list_head
at the moment, the list_head semantics are

list_add(node, head)

whereas current klist semantics are

klist_add(head, node)

This is bound to cause confusion, and since klist is the newcomer, it
should follow the list_head semantics.

I also added missing include guards to klist.h

76d1ce00bd [PATCH] Driver core: link device and all class devices derived from it.
Driver core: link device and all class devices derived from it.

To ease the task of locating class devices derived from a certain
device create symlinks from parent device to its class devices.
Change USB host class device name from usbX to usb_hostX to avoid
conflict when creating aforementioned links.

Tweaked by Greg to have the symlink be "class_name:class_device_name" in
order to prevent duplicate links.

afdce75f1e [PATCH] driver core: Add the ability to bind drivers to devices from userspace
This adds a single file, "bind", to the sysfs directory of every driver
registered with the driver core.  To bind a device to a driver, write
the bus id of the device you wish to bind to that specific driver to the
"bind" file (remember to not add a trailing \n).  If that bus id matches
a device on that bus, and it does not currently have a driver bound to
it, the probe sequence will be initiated with that driver and device.

Note, this requires that the driver itself be willing and able to accept
that device (usually through a device id type table).  This patch does
not make it possible to override the driver's id table.

e7c8d5c995 [PATCH] node local per-cpu-pages
This patch modifies the way pagesets in struct zone are managed.

Each zone has a per-cpu array of pagesets.  So any particular CPU has some
memory in each zone structure which belongs to itself.  Even if that CPU is
not local to that zone.

So the patch relocates the pagesets for each cpu to the node that is nearest
to the cpu instead of allocating the pagesets in the (possibly remote) target
zone.  This means that the operations to manage pages on remote zone can be
done with information available locally.

We play a macro trick so that non-NUMA pmachines avoid the additional
pointer chase on the page allocator fastpath.

c95a6b057b [PATCH] driver core: Fix races in driver_detach()
This patch is intended for your "driver" tree.  It fixes several subtle
races in driver_detach() and device_release_driver() in the driver-model
core.

The major change is to use klist_remove() rather than klist_del() when
taking a device off its driver's list.  There's no other way to guarantee
that the list pointers will be updated before some other driver binds to
the device.  For this to work driver_detach() can't use a klist iterator,
so the loop over the devices must be written out in full.  In addition the
patch protects against the possibility that, when a driver and a device
are unregistered at the same time, one may be unloaded from memory before
the other is finished using it.

0d3e5a2e39 [PATCH] Driver Core: fix bk-driver-core kills ppc64
There's no check to see if the device is already bound to a driver, which
could do bad things.  The first thing to go wrong is that it will try to match
a driver with a device already bound to one.  In some cases (it appears with
USB with drivers/usb/core/usb.c::usb_match_id()), some drivers will match a
device based on the class type, so it would be common (especially for HID
devices) to match a device that is already bound.

The fun comes when ->probe() is called, it fails, then
driver_probe_device() does this:

	dev->driver = NULL;

Later on, that pointer could be be dereferenced without checking and cause
hell to break loose.

This problem could be nasty. It's very hardware dependent, since some
devices could have a different set of matching qualifiers than others.

Now, I don't quite see exactly where/how you were getting that crash.
You're dereferencing bad memory, but I'm not sure which pointer was bad
and where it came from, but it could have come from a couple of different
places.

The patch below will hopefully fix it all up for you. It's against
2.6.12-rc2-mm1, and does the following:

- Move logic to driver_probe_device() and comments uncommon returns:
  1 - If device is bound
  0 - If device not bound, and no error
  error - If there was an error.

- Move locking to caller of that function, since we want to lock a
  device for the entire time we're trying to bind it to a driver (to
  prevent against a driver being loaded at the same time).

- Update __device_attach() and __driver_attach() to do that locking.

- Check if device is already bound in __driver_attach()

- Update the converse device_release_driver() so it locks the device
  around all of the operations.

- Mark driver_probe_device() as static and remove export. It's an
  internal function, it should stay that way, and there are no other
  callers. If there is ever a need to export it, we can audit it as
  necessary.

0956af53af [PATCH] Call klist_del() instead of klist_remove().
- Can't wait on removing the current item in the list (the positive refcount *because*
  we are using it causes it to deadlock).

6eded061b1 [PATCH] Fix up bus code and remove use of rwsem.
- Don't add devices to bus's embedded kset, since it's not used by anyone anymore.
- Don't need to take the bus rwsem when calling {device,driver}_attach(), since
  those functions use the klists and the klists' spinlocks.

94e7b1c5ff [PATCH] Add a klist to struct device_driver for the devices bound to it.
- Use it in driver_for_each_device() instead of the regular list_head and stop using
  the bus's rwsem for protection.
- Use driver_for_each_device() in driver_detach() so we don't deadlock on the
  bus's rwsem.
- Remove ->devices.
- Move klist access and sysfs link access out from under device's semaphore, since
  they're synchronized through other means.

07e4a3e27f [PATCH] Move device/driver code to drivers/base/dd.c
This relocates the driver binding/unbinding code to drivers/base/dd.c. This is done
for two reasons: One, it's not code related to the bus_type itself; it uses some from
that, some from devices, and some from drivers. And Two, it will make it easier to do
some of the upcoming lock removal on that code..

af70316af1 [PATCH] Add a semaphore to struct device to synchronize calls to its driver.
This adds a per-device semaphore that is taken before every call from the core to a
driver method. This prevents e.g. simultaneous calls to the ->suspend() or ->resume()
and ->probe() or ->release(), potentially saving a whole lot of headaches.

It also moves us a step closer to removing the bus rwsem, since it protects the fields
in struct device that are modified by the core.
