Subject: [RESEND] [PATCH 00/18] Staging: hv: Cleanup vmbus driver code
Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2011 13:42:59 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1304109779-24819-1-git-send-email-kys@microsoft.com> (raw)
This is a resend of the patches yet to be applied.
This patch-set addresses some of the bus/driver model cleanup that
Greg sugested over the last couple of days. In this patch-set we
deal with the following issues:
1) Cleanup error handling in the vmbus_probe() and
vmbus_child_device_register() functions. Fixed a
bug in the probe failure path as part of this cleanup.
2) The Windows host cannot handle the vmbus_driver being
unloaded and subsequently loaded. Cleanup the driver with
this in mind.
3) Get rid of struct hv_bus that embedded struct bus_type to
conform with the LDM.
4) Add probe/remove/shutdown functions to struct hv_driver to
conform to LDM.
5) On some older Hyper-V hosts, the Linux PCI sub-sytem is not able
to allocate irq resources to the vmbus driver. I recently learnt
that the vmbus driver is an acpi enumerated device on the Hyper-V
platform. Added code to retrieve irq information from DSDT.
Regards,
K. Y
