2010-03-07UIO: Add a driver for Hilscher netX-based fieldbus cardsHans J. Koch3-0/+184
This patch adds a Userspace IO driver for netX-based fieldbus cards by Hilscher (see http://www.hilscher.com). ATM, cifX and comX cards are supported. The userspace part for this driver is provided by Hilscher and should come with the card. The driver is in use for several months now and has been tested by people at Hilscher and Linutronix.

2010-03-07auxdisplay: move cfag12864bfb's probe function to .devinit.textUwe Kleine-König1-1/+1
A pointer to cfag12864bfb_probe is passed to the core via platform_driver_register and so the function must not disappear when the .init sections are discarded. Otherwise (if also having HOTPLUG=y) unbinding and binding a device to the driver via sysfs will result in an oops as does a device being registered late. An alternative to this patch is using platform_driver_probe instead of platform_driver_register plus removing the pointer to the probe function from the struct platform_driver.

2010-03-07sysfs: Cache the last sysfs_dirent to improve readdir scalability v2Eric W. Biederman1-22/+60
When sysfs_readdir stops short we now cache the next sysfs_dirent to return to user space in filp->private_data. There is no impact on the rest of sysfs by doing this and in the common case it allows us to pick up exactly where we left off with no seeking. Additionally I drop and regrab the sysfs_mutex around filldir to avoid a page fault abritrarily increasing the hold time on the sysfs_mutex. v2: Returned to using INT_MAX as the EOF condition. seekdir is ambiguous unless all directory entries have a unique f_pos value.

Also drivers can extend the attributes with own data fields and use that in the low level function. This makes the class attributes the same as sysdev_class attributes and plain attributes.

The problem is that kobject_add_internal() first adds a kobject to the kset and then try to create sysfs directory for it. If the creation fails, it remove the kobject from the kset. get_device_parent() accesses class_dirs kset while only holding class_dirs.list_lock to see whether the cuse class dir exists. But when it exists, it may not have finished initialization yet or may fail and get removed soon. In the above case, the former happened so the second one ends up trying to create subdirectory under NULL sysfs_dirent. Fix it by grabbing a mutex in get_device_parent().
