[GIT PATCH] driver core fixes for your 2.6-git tree

[GIT PATCH] driver core fixes for your 2.6-git tree

[Greg KH]

Here are 5 bugfixes against your current kernel git tree.

They fix the following reported problems:
	- klist blowing up on CRIS architecture
	- some block device names showing up incorrectly due to
	  mishandled ! formatting
	- sysfs binary file bugfix
	- debugfs build breakage if it is disable and wimax is enabled.
	- PNP modules not properly being autoloaded due to lowercase
	  issues in file2alias.c

All of these have been in the last -next release, with the majority of
them in the -next releases for the past week.

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

[PATCH 1/5] driver core: Convert '/' to '!' in dev_set_name()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Roland Dreier <rdreier@cisco.com>

Commit 3ada8b7e ("block: struct device - replace bus_id with dev_name(),
dev_set_name()") deleted the code in register_disk() that changed a '/'
to a '!' in the device name when registering a disk, but dev_set_name()
does not perform this conversion.

This leads to amusing problems with disks that have '/' in their names:
for example a failure to boot with the root partition on a cciss device,
even though the kernel says it knows about the root device:

    VFS: Cannot open root device "cciss/c0d0p6" or unknown-block(0,0)
    Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
    6800        71652960 cciss/c0d0 driver: cciss
      6802               1 cciss/c0d0p2
      6805         2931831 cciss/c0d0p5
      6806        34354908 cciss/c0d0p6
    6810        71652960 cciss/c0d1 driver: cciss

Fix this by adding code to change '/' to '!' in dev_set_name() to handle
this until dev_set_name() is converted to use kobject_set_name().

[PATCH 3/5] sysfs: fix problems with binary files

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

Some sysfs binary files don't like having 0 passed to them as a size.
Fix this up at the root by just returning to the vfs if userspace asks
us for a zero sized buffer.

Thanks to Pavel Roskin for pointing this out.

[PATCH 4/5] debugfs: introduce stub for debugfs_create_size_t() when DEBUG_FS=n

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com>

Toralf Förster <toralf.foerster@gmx.de> reported a build failure in
the WiMAX stack when CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=n

http://linuxwimax.org/pipermail/wimax/2009-January/000449.html

This is due to debugfs_create_size_t() missing an stub that returns
-ENODEV when the DEBUGFS subsystem is not configured in (like the rest
of the debugfs API).

This patch adds said stub.

This needs to be "static inline".  See my other email about linux-next

[PATCH 5/5] klist.c: bit 0 in pointer can't be used as flag

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Jesper Nilsson <Jesper.Nilsson@axis.com>

The commit a1ed5b0cffe4b16a93a6a3390e8cee0fbef94f86
(klist: don't iterate over deleted entries) introduces use of the
low bit in a pointer to indicate if the knode is dead or not,
assuming that this bit is always free.

This is not true for all architectures, CRIS for example may align data
on byte borders.

The result is a bunch of warnings on bootup, devices not being
added correctly etc, reported by Hinko Kocevar <hinko.kocevar@cetrtapot.si>:

That works, but we need to do it not for the struct klist_node,
but for the struct we insert into the void * in klist_node,
which is struct klist.
