Kobject: convert drivers/* from kobject_unregister() to kobject_put()

2008-01-25T04:40:40+00:00

There is no need for kobject_unregister() anymore, thanks to Kay's
kobject cleanup changes, so replace all instances of it with
kobject_put().

Kobject: change drivers/firmware/edd.c to use kobject_init_and_add

2008-01-25T04:40:26+00:00

Stop using kobject_register, as this way we can control the sending of
the uevent properly, after everything is properly initialized.

firmware: change firmware_kset to firmware_kobj

2008-01-25T04:40:23+00:00

There is no firmware "subsystem" it's just a directory in /sys that
other portions of the kernel want to hook into.  So make it a kobject
not a kset to help alivate anyone who tries to do some odd kset-like
things with this.

kset: convert edd to use kset_create

2008-01-25T04:40:23+00:00

Dynamically create the kset instead of declaring it statically.

kobject: remove struct kobj_type from struct kset

2008-01-25T04:40:10+00:00

We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset.  We should set this
explicitly every time for each kset.  This change is needed so that we
can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented
assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has.

This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay Sievers.

Driver core: rename ktype_edd and ktype_efivar

2007-10-12T21:51:12+00:00

This makes it a bit more sane when trying to figure out how to clean up
the ktype mess.

sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner

2007-07-11T23:09:06+00:00

sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game.  After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners.  Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.

This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner.  Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.

For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
following message.
