David Brownell a4dbd6740d driver model: constify attribute groups
Let attribute group vectors be declared "const".  We'd
like to let most attribute metadata live in read-only
sections... this is a start.

Tony Jones ee959b00c3 SCSI: convert struct class_device to struct device
It's big, but there doesn't seem to be a way to split it up smaller...

James Bottomley 2f3edc6936 [SCSI] transport_class: BUG if we can't release the attribute container
Every current transport class calls transport_container_release but
ignores the return value.  This is catastrophic if it returns an error
because the containers are part of a global list and the next action of
almost every transport class is to free the memory used by the
container.

Fix this by making transport_container_release a void, but making it BUG
if attribute_container_release returns an error ... this catches the
root cause of a system panic much earlier.  If we don't do this, we get
an eventual BUG when the attribute container list notices the corruption
caused by the freed memory it's still referencing.

Also made attribute_container_release __must_check as a reminder.

James Bottomley fd1109711d [SCSI] attribute_container: update to use the group interface
This patch is the beginning of moving the attribute_containers to use
attribute groups exclusively.  The attr element is now deprecated and
will eventually be removed (along with all the hand rolled code for
doing exactly what attribute groups do) when all the consumers are
converted to attribute groups.

Remove the obviously unnecessary includes of <linux/spinlock.h> under the
include/linux/ directory, and fix the couple errors that are introduced as
a result of that.

James Bottomley 53c165e0a6 [SCSI] correct attribute_container list usage
One of the changes in the attribute_container code in the scsi-misc tree
was to add a lock to protect the list of devices per container.  This,
unfortunately, leads to potential scheduling while atomic problems if
there's a sleep in the function called by a trigger.

The correct solution is to use the kernel klist infrastructure instead
which allows lockless traversal of a list.

James Bottomley caca177987 [SCSI] add missing attribute container function prototype
attribute_container_classdev_to_container is an exported function of the
attribute_container.c file.  However, there's no prototype for it.  Now
I actually want to use it, so add one.

James Bottomley d0a7e57400 [SCSI] correct transport class abstraction to work outside SCSI
I recently tried to construct a totally generic transport class and
found there were certain features missing from the current abstract
transport class.  Most notable is that you have to hang the data on the
class_device but most of the API is framed in terms of the generic
device, not the class_device.

These changes are two fold

- Provide the class_device to all of the setup and configure APIs
- Provide and extra API to take the device and the attribute class and
  return the corresponding class_device

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
