The PCI core wants to reorder the devices in the bus list. So move this
functionality out of the pci core and into the driver core so that
anyone else can also do this if needed. This also lets us change how
struct device is attached to drivers in the future without messing with
the PCI core.

struct bus_type is static everywhere in the kernel. This moves the
kobject in the structure out of it, and a bunch of other private only to
the driver core fields are now moved to a private structure. This lets
us dynamically create the backing kobject properly and gives us the
chance to be able to document to users exactly how to use the struct
bus_type as there are no fields they can improperly access.

sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.
This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the

The completion in the driver release path is due to ancient history in
the _very_ early 2.5 days when we were not tracking the module reference
count of attributes. It is not needed at all and can be removed.
Note, we now have an empty release function for the driver structure.
This is due to the fact that drivers are statically allocated in the
system at this point in time, something which I want to change in the
future. But remember, drivers are really code, which is reference
counted by the module, unlike devices, which are data and _must_ be
reference counted properly in order to work correctly.

We get two per-bus sysfs files:
ls-l /sys/subsystem/usb
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2007-02-16 16:42 devices
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 0 2007-02-16 14:55 drivers
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2007-02-16 16:42 drivers_autoprobe
--w------- 1 root root 4096 2007-02-16 16:42 drivers_probe
The flag "drivers_autoprobe" controls the behavior of the bus to bind
devices by default, or just initialize the device and leave it alone.
The command "drivers_probe" accepts a bus_id and the bus tries to bind a
driver to this device.
Systems who want to control the driver binding with udev, switch off the
bus initiated probing:
echo 0 > /sys/subsystem/usb/drivers_autoprobe
echo 0 > /sys/subsystem/pcmcia/drivers_autoprobe
...
and initiate the probing with udev rules like:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{subsystem/drivers_probe}="$kernel"
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pcmcia", ATTR{subsystem/drivers_probe}="$kernel"
...
Custom driver binding can happen in earlier rules by something like:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", \
ATTRS{idVendor}=="1234", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5678" \
ATTR{subsystem/drivers/<custom-driver>/bind}="$kernel"
This is intended to solve the modprobe.conf mess with "install-rules", custom
bind/unbind-scripts and all the weird things people invented over the years.
It should also provide the functionality "libusual" was supposed to do.
With udev, one can just write a udev rule to drive all USB-disks at the
third port of USB-hub by the "ub" driver, and everything else by
usb-storage. One can also instruct udev to bind different wireless
drivers to identical cards - just selected by the pcmcia slot-number, and
whatever ...
To use the mentioned rules, it needs udev version 106, to be able to
write ATTR{}="$kernel" to sysfs files.

I finally did as you suggested and added the notifier to the struct
bus_type itself. There are still problems to be expected is something
attaches to a bus type where the code can hook in different struct
device sub-classes (which is imho a big bogosity but I won't even try to
argue that case now) but it will solve nicely a number of issues I've
had so far.
That also means that clients interested in registering for such
notifications have to do it before devices are added and after bus types
are registered. Fortunately, most bus types that matter for the various
usage scenarios I have in mind are registerd at postcore_initcall time,
which means I have a really nice spot at arch_initcall time to add my
notifiers.
There are 4 notifications provided. Device being added (before hooked to
the bus) and removed (failure of previous case or after being unhooked
from the bus), along with driver being bound to a device and about to be
unbound.
The usage I have for these are:
- The 2 first ones are used to maintain a struct device_ext that is
hooked to struct device.firmware_data. This structure contains for now a
pointer to the Open Firmware node related to the device (if any), the
NUMA node ID (for quick access to it) and the DMA operations pointers &
iommu table instance for DMA to/from this device. For bus types I own
(like IBM VIO or EBUS), I just maintain that structure directly from the
bus code when creating the devices. But for bus types managed by generic
code like PCI or platform (actually, of_platform which is a variation of
platform linked to Open Firmware device-tree), I need this notifier.
- The other two ones have a completely different usage scenario. I have
cases where multiple devices and their drivers depend on each other. For
example, the IBM EMAC network driver needs to attach to a MAL DMA engine
which is a separate device, and a PHY interface which is also a separate
device. They are all of_platform_device's (well, about to be with my
upcoming patches) but there is no say in what precise order the core
will "probe" them and instanciate the various modules. The solution I
found for that is to have the drivers for emac to use multithread_probe,
and wait for a driver to be bound to the target MAL and PHY control
devices (the device-tree contains reference to the MAL and PHY interface
nodes, which I can then match to of_platform_devices). Right now, I've
been polling, but with that notifier, I can more cleanly wait (with a
timeout of course).

This patch (as783) simplifies the driver core slightly by removing four
unnecessary _get and _put methods.
It is vital that when a driver is removed from its bus's klist of
registered drivers, or when a device is removed from a driver's klist
of bound devices, that the klist updates complete synchronously.
Otherwise the kernel might try binding an unregistered driver to a
newly-registered device, or adding a device to the klist for a new
driver before it has been removed from the old driver's klist.
Since the removals must be synchronous, they don't need to update any
reference counts. Hence the _get and _put methods can be dispensed
with.

There is a potential deadlock in the driver core. It boils down to
the fact that bus_remove_device() calls klist_remove() instead of
klist_del(), thereby waiting until the reference count of the
klist_node in the bus's klist of devices drops to 0. The refcount
can't reach 0 so long as a modprobe process is trying to bind a new
driver to the device being removed, by calling __driver_attach(). The
problem is that __driver_attach() tries to acquire the device's
parent's semaphore, but the caller of bus_remove_device() is quite
likely to own that semaphore already.
It isn't sufficient just to replace klist_remove() with klist_del().
Doing so runs the risk that the device would remain on the bus's klist
of devices for some time, and so could be bound to another driver even
after it was unregistered. What's needed is a new way to distinguish
whether or not a device is registered, based on a criterion other than
whether its klist_node is linked into the bus's klist of devices. That
way driver binding can fail when the device is unregistered, even if
it is still linked into the klist.
This patch (as782) implements the solution, by adding a new bitflag to
indiate when a struct device is registered, by testing the flag before
allowing a driver to bind a device, and by changing the definition of
the device_is_registered() inline.
