Subject: [GIT PATCH] Driver core fixes for 2.6.21-rc3
Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2007 20:04:05 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070310040405.GC30638@kroah.com> (raw)
[-- Warning: decoded text below may be mangled, UTF-8 assumed --]
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain; charset=unknown-8bit, Size: 1333 bytes --]
Here are some driver core fixes for 2.6.21-rc3.
They fix the following thing:
- fix reference counting bug when removing any driver module from the
system by reverting a previous "fix".
- allow older versions of HAL to find network devices even if
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is disabled.
- fix an oops when moving kobjects to the same destination location as
they currently are caused by the bluetooth layer.
- export a symbol to allow the wireless core to be built as a module -
remove the devfs entry in the MAINTAINERS file.
All of these have been in the -mm tree.
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
