Block: Fix whole_disk attribute bug

2008-02-07T19:31:46+00:00

The "whole_disk" attribute was not properly converted in the block
device conversion earlier, and if the file is read, bad things can
happen.  This patch fixes this, making the attribute an empty one,
preserving the original functionality.

Many thanks to David Miller for finding this, and pointing me in the
proper place within the block code to look.

Kobject: convert fs/* 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().

Driver core: convert block from raw kobjects to core devices

2008-01-25T04:40:36+00:00

This moves the block devices to /sys/class/block. It will create a
flat list of all block devices, with the disks and partitions in one
directory. For compatibility /sys/block is created and contains symlinks
to the disks.

kset: convert block_subsys to use kset_create

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

Dynamically create the kset instead of declaring it statically.  We also
rename block_subsys to block_kset to catch all users of this symbol
with a build error instead of an easy-to-ignore build warning.

kobject: get rid of kobject_add_dir

2008-01-25T04:40:11+00:00

kobject_create_and_add is the same as kobject_add_dir, so drop
kobject_add_dir.
