PM / Driver Core: Kill dev_pm_ops platform warning for now

2009-08-10T21:41:18+00:00

Commit 783ea7d4eeefe895f2731fe73ac951e94418927b
(Driver Core: Rework platform suspend/resume, print warning)
added a warning message printed for platform drivers that use the
legacy PM callbacks rather than struct dev_pm_ops.  Unfortunately,
this resulted in some confusion and made some people try to convert
drivers by replacing the old callbacks with struct dev_pm_ops in
automatic way, which generally is not a good idea.

Remove the platform device runtime dev_pm_ops warning for now,
because it's annoying to users and it's not really necessary right
now.

[rjw: Modified the changelog to be more informative.]

driver core: sysdev: do not send KOBJ_ADD uevent if kobject_init_and_add fails

2009-07-28T20:45:22+00:00

If kobject_init_and_add fails, sysdev_register should not send KOBJ_ADD
uevent to userspace.

driver core: firmware_class:fix memory leak of page pointers array

2009-07-28T20:45:22+00:00

The page pointers array is allocated in fw_realloc_buffer() called by
firmware_data_write(), and should be freed in release function of firmware
device.

devres: WARN() and return, don't crash on device_del() of uninitialized device

2009-07-12T20:02:09+00:00

I just debugged an obscure crash caused by a device_del() of a all NULL'd
out struct device (in usb-serial) and found that a patch like this one would
have saved me time (in addition to improved chances of a bug report from
users hitting similar driver bugs).

Free struct device in fw_dev_release()

2009-07-08T16:34:08+00:00

The f_dev in _request_firmware() is allocated via the fw_setup_device()
and fw_register_device() calls and its class set to firmware_class (the
class release function is fw_dev_release).

Commit 6acf70f078ca replaced the kfree(dev) in fw_dev_release() with a
put_device() call but my understanding is that the release function is
called via put_device -> kobject_put -> kref_put -> koject_release etc.
and it should call kfree since it's the last to see this device
structure alive.

Because of that, the _request_firmware() function on its -ENOENT error
path only calls device_unregister(f_dev) which would eventually call
fw_dev_release() but there is no kfree (the subsequent put_device call
would just make the kref negative).

PM: Clear -EAGAIN in dpm_prepare

2009-07-08T11:26:05+00:00

When the last device in the dpm list is unregistered directly after its
prepare() callback returned with -EAGAIN, the return code is passed to
the calling function, resulting in a suspend failure. Prevent this by
clearing the return code after -EAGAIN.

mm: remove CONFIG_UNEVICTABLE_LRU config option

2009-06-17T02:47:42+00:00

Currently, nobody wants to turn UNEVICTABLE_LRU off.  Thus this
configurability is unnecessary.
