* proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::ownerAlexey Dobriyan2009-03-301-8/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting in module refcount underflow. We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops and ->data. But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment) and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give some thoughts. ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for protection. rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm. And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular. We definitely don't want such modular code. Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller. So, let's nuke it. Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12454 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>
* drivers: use non-racy method for proc entries creation (2)Denis V. Lunev2008-04-291-5/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use proc_create()/proc_create_data() to make sure that ->proc_fops and ->data be setup before gluing PDE to main tree. Signed-off-by: Denis V.

* rtc: simplified /proc/driver/rtc handlingDavid Brownell2007-05-081-47/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This simplifies the RTC procfs support by removing the class_interface that hooks it into the rtc core. If it's configured, then sysfs support is now part of the RTC core, and is never a separate module. It also removes the class_interface hook, now that its last remaining user is gone. (That API is usable only with a "struct class_device".) It's another step towards being able to remove "struct class_device".

* rtc: rtc interfaces don't use class_deviceDavid Brownell2007-05-081-8/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes class_device from the programming interface that the RTC framework exposes to the rest of the kernel. Now an rtc_device is passed, which is more type-safe and streamlines all the relevant code.

* [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 5Arjan van de Ven2007-02-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources.

* [PATCH] rtc framewok: rtc_wkalrm.enabled reporting updatesDavid Brownell2006-12-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a glitch in the procfs dumping of whether the alarm IRQ is enabled: use the traditional name (from drivers/char/rtc.c and many other places) of "alarm_IRQ", not "alrm_wakeup" (which didn't even match the efirtc code, which originated that reporting API). Also, update a few of the RTC drivers to stop providing that duplicate status, and/or to expose it properly when reporting the alarm state. We really don't want every RTC driver doing their own thing here...

* [PATCH] RTC class: error checksDavid Brownell2006-10-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rtc_is_valid_tm() routine needs to treat some of the fields it checks as unsigned, to prevent wrongly accepting invalid rtc_time structs; this is the same approach used elsewhere in the RTC code for such tests. Conversely, rtc_proc_show() is missing one invalid-day-of-month test that rtc_is_valid_tm() makes: there is no day zero.

* [PATCH] RTC class uses subsys_initDavid Brownell2006-10-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes RTC core components use "subsys_init" instead of "module_init", as appropriate for subsystem infrastructure. This is mostly useful for statically linking drivers in other parts of the tree that may provide an RTC interface as a secondary functionality (e.g. part of a multifunction chip); they won't need to worry so much about drivers/Makefile link order.

* [PATCH] RTC subsystem: proc interfaceAlessandro Zummo2006-03-271-0/+162
Add the proc interface to the RTC subsystem. The first RTC driver which registers with the class will be accessible by /proc/driver/rtc . This is required for compatibility with the standard RTC driver and to avoid breaking any user space application which may erroneusly rely on this.
