[GIT PATCH] more sysfs and driver core patches for 2.6.22

[GIT PATCH] more sysfs and driver core patches for 2.6.22

[Greg KH]

Here are some more driver core and sysfs patches against your 2.6.22 git
tree.

They fix some bugs in the last big sysfs merge (thanks to Tejun for
finding and fixing them so quickly) and some other minor stuff all over
the place.

Some of these have been in the -mm tree for a while.

Please pull from:
	master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-2.6.git/

Patches will be sent as a follow-on to this message to lkml for people
to see.

thanks,

greg k-h

[PATCH 01/14] debugfs: remove rmdir() non-empty complaint

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

Hi,

This patch kills the pointless debugfs rmdir() printk() when called on a
non-empty directory. blktrace will sometimes have to call it a few times
when forcefully ending a trace, which polutes the log with pointless
warnings.

Rationale:

- It's more code to work-around this "problem" in the debugfs users, and
  you would have to add code to check for empty directories to do so (or
  assume that debugfs is using simple_ helpers, but that would be a
  layering violation).

- Other rmdir() implementations don't complain about something this
  silly.

[PATCH 02/14] Driver core: accept all valid action-strings in uevent-trigger

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org>

This allows the uevent file to handle any type of uevent action to be
triggered by userspace instead of just the "add" uevent.

[PATCH 04/14] PM: remove deprecated dpm_runtime_* routines

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>

This patch (as933) removes the deprecated dpm_runtime_suspend() and
dpm_runtime_resume() routines from the PM core.  The only user of
those routines is the PCMCIA ds driver; local replacements are added.

[PATCH 05/14] sysfs: avoid kmem_cache_free(NULL)

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com>

kmem_cache_free() with NULL is not allowed. But it may happen
if out of memory error is triggered in sysfs_new_dirent().
This patch fixes that error handling.

[PATCH 07/14] sysfs: fix sysfs root inode nlink accounting

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>

While making sysfs indoes hashed, sysfs root inode was left out.  Now
that nlink accounting depends on the inode being on the hash, sysfs
root inode nlink isn't adjusted properly.

Put sysfs root inode on the inode hash by allocating it using
sysfs_get_inode() like other sysfs inodes.  While at it, massage
comments a bit.

[PATCH 09/14] dev_vdbg(), available with -DVERBOSE_DEBUG

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: David Brownell <david-b@pacbell.net>

This defines a dev_vdbg() call, which is enabled with -DVERBOSE_DEBUG.
When enabled, dev_vdbg() acts just like dev_dbg().  When disabled, it is a
NOP ...  just like dev_dbg() without -DDEBUG.  The specific code was moved
out of a USB patch, but lots of drivers have similar support.

That is, code can now be written to use an additional level of debug
output, selected at compile time.  Many driver authors have found this
idiom to be very useful.  A typical usage model is for "normal" debug
messages to focus on fault paths and not be very "chatty", so that those
messages can be left on during normal operation without much of a
performance or syslog load.  On the other hand "verbose" messages would be
noisy enough that they wouldn't normally be enabled; they might even affect
timings enough to change system or driver behavior.

[PATCH 13/14] sysfs: kill an extra put in sysfs_create_link() failure path

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>

There is a subtle bug in sysfs_create_link() failure path.  When
symlink creation fails because there's already a node with the same
name, the target sysfs_dirent is put twice - once by failure path of
sysfs_create_link() and once more when the symlink is released.

Fix it by making only the symlink node responsible for putting
target_sd.

[PATCH 14/14] sysfs: cosmetic clean up on node creation failure paths

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>

Node addition failure is detected by testing return value of
sysfs_addfm_finish() which returns the number of added and removed
nodes.  As the function is called as the last step of addition right
on top of error handling block, the if blocks looked like the
following.

	if (sysfs_addrm_finish(&acxt))
		success handling, usually return;
	/* fall through to error handling */

This is the opposite of usual convention in sysfs and makes the code
difficult to understand.  This patch inverts the test and makes those
blocks look more like others.
