By the previous modification, the cpu notifier can return encapsulate
errno value.  This converts the cpu notifiers for topology.

mm: compaction: add /sys trigger for per-node memory compaction

2010-05-25T15:06:59+00:00

Add a per-node sysfs file called compact.  When the file is written to,
each zone in that node is compacted.  The intention that this would be
used by something like a job scheduler in a batch system before a job
starts so that the job can allocate the maximum number of hugepages
without significant start-up cost.

In this code section the final S of CONFIG_MODULES was missed making
the whole check useless

sysfs: add struct file* to bin_attr callbacks

2010-05-21T16:37:31+00:00

This allows bin_attr->read,write,mmap callbacks to check file specific data
(such as inode owner) as part of any privilege validation.

driver core: Implement ns directory support for device classes.

2010-05-21T16:37:31+00:00

device_del and device_rename were modified to use
sysfs_delete_link and sysfs_rename_link respectively to ensure
when these operations happen on devices whose classes
are in namespace directories they work properly.

kobj: Add basic infrastructure for dealing with namespaces.

2010-05-21T16:37:31+00:00

Move complete knowledge of namespaces into the kobject layer
so we can use that information when reporting kobjects to
userspace.

Driver core: Protect device shutdown from hot unplug events.

2010-05-21T16:37:30+00:00

While device_shutdown() walks through devices_kset to shutdown all
devices, device unplug events may race to shutdown individual devices.
Specifically, sd_shutdown(), on behalf of fc_starget_delete(), has
been observed deleting devices during device_shutdown()'s list
traversal.  So we factor out list_for_each_entry_safe_reverse(...) in
favor of while (!list_empty(...)).

firmware loader: do not allocate firmare id separately

2010-05-21T16:37:30+00:00

fw_id has the same life time as firmware_priv so it makes sense to move
it into firmware_priv structure instead of allocating separately.

firmware loader: rely on driver core to create class attribute

2010-05-21T16:37:30+00:00

Do not create 'timeout' attribute manually, let driver core do it for us.
This also ensures that attribute is cleaned up properly.
