Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration (for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal" ones).

We've had various reports of some legacy "probe the hardware" style platform drivers having nasty problems with hotplug support. The core issue is that those legacy drivers don't fully conform to the driver model. They assume a role that should be the responsibility of infrastructure code: creating device nodes. The "modprobe" step in hotplugging relies on drivers to have split those roles into different modules. The lack of this split causes the problems. When a driver creates nodes for devices that don't exist (sending a hotplug event), then exits (aborting one modprobe) before the "modprobe $MODALIAS" step completes (by failing, since it's in the middle of a modprobe), the result can be an endless loop of modprobe invocations ... badness. This fix uses the newish per-device flag controlling issuance of "add" events. (A previous version of this patch used a per-device "driver can hotplug" flag, which only scrubbed $MODALIAS from the environment rather than suppressing the entire hotplug event.) It also shrinks that flag to one bit, saving a word in "struct device". So the net of this patch is removing some nasty failures with legacy drivers, while retaining hotplug capability for the majority of platform drivers.

Architectures that don't support DMA can say so by adding a config NO_DMA to their Kconfig file. This will prevent compilation of some dma specific driver code. Also dma-mapping-broken.h isn't needed anymore on at least s390. This avoids compilation and linking of otherwise dead/broken code. Other architectures that include dma-mapping-broken.h are arm26, h8300, m68k, m68knommu and v850. If these could be converted as well we could get rid of the header file.

We need to work on cleaning up the relationship between kobjects, ksets and ktypes. The removal of 'struct subsystem' is the first step of this, especially as it is not really needed at all. Thanks to Kay for fixing the bugs in this patch. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
In platform_device_del(), we currently delete the device resources first, then we delete the device itself. This causes a (minor) bug to occur when one unregisters a platform device before unregistering its platform driver, and the driver is requesting (in .probe()) and releasing (in .remove()) a resource of the device. The device resources are already gone by the time the driver gets the chance to release the resources it had been requesting, causing an error like: Trying to free nonexistent resource <0000000000000295-0000000000000296> If the platform driver is unregistered first, the problem doesn't occur, as the driver will have the opportunity to release the resources it had requested before the device resources themselves are released. It's a bit odd that unregistering the driver first or the device first doesn't lead to the same result. So I believe that we should delete the device first in platform_device_del(). I've searched the git history and found that it used to be the case before 2.6.8, but was changed here: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git;a=commitdiff;h=96ef7b3689936ee1e64b711511342026a8ce459c > 2004/07/14 16:09:44-07:00 dtor_core > [PATCH] Driver core: Fix OOPS in device_platform_unregister > > Driver core: platform_device_unregister should release resources first > and only then call device_unregister, otherwise if there > are no more references to the device it will be freed and > the fucntion will try to access freed memory. However we now have an explicit call to put_device() at the end of platform_device_unregister() so I guess the original problem no longer exists and it is safe to revert that change.
