[PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() calls

2006-12-13T17:05:58+00:00

Run this:

	#!/bin/sh
	for f in $(grep -Erl "\([^\)]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do
	  echo "De-casting $f..."
	  perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f
	done

And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers
to non-pointers.

And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

[PATCH] There is no devfs, there has never been a devfs, we have always been at war with...

2006-09-29T16:18:10+00:00

Jon Smirl noted a couple of tty driver functions now are quite misleadingly
named with the death of devfs.  A quick grep found another case in the lp
driver.

[PATCH] make more file_operation structs static

2006-07-03T22:26:59+00:00

Mark the static struct file_operations in drivers/char as const.  Making
them const prevents accidental bugs, and moves them to the .rodata section
so that they no longer do any false sharing; in addition with the proper
debug option they are then protected against corruption..

[PATCH] Driver Core: fix up all callers of class_device_create()

2005-10-28T16:52:52+00:00

The previous patch adding the ability to nest struct class_device
changed the paramaters to the call class_device_create().  This patch
fixes up all in-kernel users of the function.
