PATCH 1/1 driver core fixes against 2.6.25-rc3 git

Here are a few driver core fixes against your current git tree that fix some more problems that have cropped up:
- suspend/resume bugfixes
- ksets were not getting properly initialized
- CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED was catching people with old userspace versions of LVM now that the block core is changed to use struct device.
- other driver core bugs on error paths.

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

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

thanks,

greg k-h

PATCH 1/8 driver core: fix up Kconfig text for CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED

As things get moved into this config option, the hard date of 2006 does not work anymore, so update the text to be more descriptive.

Might want to be a bit more specific here - I *think* udev, lvm, and nash were the common ones that broke this time around. Speaking of which, did anybody rev Documentation/Changes to mention the currently required releases of stuff?

udev did not break, and nash is a shell, so it would have a hard time "breaking" :)

The versions "required" did not change if you just enable that config option.

The problem with nash was that it has some builtins for creating entries in /dev (basically, a subset of udev).

And you're right, this time was nash, the others were the *last* time we busticated /sys. ;)

PATCH 2/8 sysfs: CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED fix

In reply to Greg KH

From: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]>

CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y changed its meaning recently and causes regressions in working setups that had SYSFS_DEPRECATED disabled.

so rename it to SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 so that testers pick up the new default via 'make oldconfig', even if their old .config's disabled CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED ...

PATCH 3/8 kobject: properly initialize ksets

In reply to Greg KH

kset_initialize was calling kobject_init_internal() which didn't initialize the kobject as well as kobject_init() was. So have kobject_init() call kobject_init_internal() and move the logic to initalize the kobject there.

PATCH 4/8 PM: Do not acquire device semaphores upfront during suspend

In reply to Greg KH

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <[email protected]>

Remove the code that acquires all device semaphores from the suspend code path as it causes multiple problems to appear (most notably,
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10030) and revert the change introduced by commit 4145ed6dc597a9bea5f6ae8c574653b2de10620f depending on the code being removed.

Remove pm_sleep_lock()/pm_sleep_unlock() from device_add() to avoid the issue reported at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9874.

It should fix the regreesions reported at:

PATCH 5/8 PM: fix new mutex-locking bug in the PM core

In reply to Greg KH

From: Alan Stern <[email protected]>

This patch (as1041) fixes a bug introduced by the acquire-all-device-semaphores reversion. The error pathway of dpm_suspend() fails to reacquire a mutex it should be holding.

PATCH 6/8 driver core: Remove dpm_sysfs_remove() from error path of device_add()

In reply to Greg KH

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <[email protected]>

Since device_pm_remove(dev) calls dpm_sysfs_remove(dev), it's incorrect to call the latter after the former in the device_add() error path.

PATCH 7/8 Driver core: Fix cleanup when failing device_add().

In reply to Greg KH

From: Cornelia Huck <[email protected]>

Driver core: Fix cleanup when failing device_add().

- Don't call cleanup_device_parent() if we didn't call setup_parent().
- dev->kobj.parent may be NULL when cleanup_device_parent() is called, so we need to handle glue_dir == NULL in cleanup_glue_dir().
