They revert the ability for the driver core to have a private area in struct device. Thanks to Stefan Richter for pointing out the problems with the current implementation, and for Alan Cox persuading me to rework the whole thing, which I will do for the 2.6.30 release. Please pull from: master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core-2.6.git/ The patches will be sent as a follow-on to this message to lkml for people to see. thanks, greg k-h ------------ drivers/base/base.h | 26 -------------------------- drivers/base/bus.c | 40 +++++++++++++--------------------------- drivers/base/core.c | 45 +++++++++++++-------------------------------- drivers/base/dd.c | 13 +++++-------- drivers/base/driver.c | 13 +++---------- include/linux/device.h | 7 ++++--- 6 files changed, 38 insertions(+), 106 deletions(-) --------------- Greg Kroah-Hartman (4): Revert "driver core: move knode_bus into private structure" Revert "driver core: move knode_driver into private structure" Revert "driver core: move klist_children into private structure" Revert "driver core: create a private portion of struct device"
