This allows us to add type specific attributes, uevent vars and
release funtions.
A subsystem can carry different types of devices like the "block"
subsys has disks and partitions. Both types create a different set
of attributes, but belong to the same subsystem.
This corresponds to the low level objects:
kobject -> device (object/device data)
kobj_type -> device_type (type of object/device we are embedded in)
kset -> class/bus (list of objects/devices of a subsystem)

If we allow NULL as the new parent in device_move(), we need to make sure
that the device is placed into the same place as it would if it was

- Consider the device virtual tree. In order to be able to reuse code,
setup_parent() has been tweaked a bit.
- kobject_move() can fall back to the kset's kobject.
- sysfs_move_dir() uses the sysfs root dir as fallback.

For node-aware skb allocations we need information about the node in struct
net_device or struct device. Davem suggested to put it into struct device
which this patch does.
In particular:
- struct device gets a new int numa_node member if CONFIG_NUMA is set
- there are two new helpers, dev_to_node and set_dev_node to
transparently deal with the non-numa case
- for pci devices the node-info is set to the value we get from
pcibus_to_node.
Note that for some architectures pcibus_to_node doesn't work yet at the time
we call it currently. This is harmless and will just mean skb allocations
aren't node-local on this architectures until the implementation of
pcibus_to_node on these architectures have been updated (There are patches for
x86 and x86_64 floating around)

Many system-on-chip processors could benefit from this API, to the tune
of recovering hundreds to thousands of bytes per driver. That's memory
which is currently wasted holding code which can never be called after
system startup, yet can not be removed. It can't be removed because of
the linkage requirement that pointers to init section code (like, ideally,
probe support) must not live in other sections (like driver method tables)
after those pointers would be invalid.

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).

The multithreaded-probing code has a problem: after one initcall level (eg,
core_initcall) has been processed, we will then start processing the next
level (postcore_initcall) while the kernel threads which are handling
core_initcall are still executing. This breaks the guarantees which the
layered initcalls previously gave us.
IOW, we want to be multithreaded _within_ an initcall level, but not between
different levels.
Fix that up by causing the probing code to wait for all outstanding probes at
one level to complete before we start processing the next level.

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.

This adds the infrastructure for drivers to do a threaded probe, and
waits at init time for all currently outstanding probes to complete.
A new kernel thread will be created when the probe() function for the
driver is called, if the multithread_probe bit is set in the driver
saying it can support this kind of operation.
I have tested this with USB and PCI, and it works, and shaves off a lot
of time in the boot process, but there are issues with finding root boot
disks, and some USB drivers assume that this can never happen, so it is
currently not enabled for any bus type. Individual drivers can enable
this right now if they wish, and bus authors can selectivly turn it on
as well, once they determine that their subsystem will work properly
with it.

Makes it easier for devices to create and remove binary attribute files
so they don't have to call directly into sysfs. This is needed to help
with the conversion from struct class_device to struct device.

When moving class_device usage over to device, we need to handle

This change creates a devices/virtual/CLASS_NAME tree for struct devices
that belong to a class, yet do not have a "real" struct device for a
parent. It automatically creates the directories on the fly as needed.

This adds two new callbacks to the class structure:
int (*dev_uevent)(struct device *dev, char **envp, int num_envp,
char *buffer, int buffer_size);
void (*dev_release)(struct device *dev);
And one pointer:
struct device_attribute * dev_attrs;
which all corrispond with the same thing as the "normal" class devices
do, yet this is for when a struct device is bound to a class.
Someday soon, struct class_device will go away, and then the other
fields in this structure can be removed too. But this is necessary in
order to get the transition to work properly.
Tested out on a network core patch that converted it to use struct
device instead of struct class_device.

This fixes an oops when a device is attached to a class, yet has no
"parent" device. An example of this would be the "lo" device in the
network core.
We should create a "virtual" subdirectory under /sys/devices/ for these,
but no one seems to agree on a proper name for it yet...
Oh, and update my copyright on the driver core.

Remove the new suspend_prepare() phase. It doesn't seem very usable,

It's useful to be able to turn off CONFIG_HOTPLUG for compile-coverage testing
and for section-checking coverage. But a few things go and select
CONFIG_HOTPLUG, making it a royal PITA to turn the thing off.
It's only turnable offable if CONFIG_EMBEDDED anyway. So let's make those
things depend on HOTPLUG, not select it.

The numa statistics are really event counters. But they are per node and
so we have had special treatment for these counters through additional
fields on the pcp structure. We can now use the per zone nature of the
zoned VM counters to realize these.
This will shrink the size of the pcp structure on NUMA systems. We will
have some room to add additional per zone counters that will all still fit
in the same cacheline.
Bits Prior pcp size Size after patch We can add
------------------------------------------------------------------
64 128 bytes (16 words) 80 bytes (10 words) 48
32 76 bytes (19 words) 56 bytes (14 words) 8 (64 byte cacheline)
72 (128 byte)
Remove the special statistics for numa and replace them with zoned vm
counters. This has the side effect that global sums of these events now
show up in /proc/vmstat.
Also take the opportunity to move the zone_statistics() function from
page_alloc.c into vmstat.c.

Conversion of nr_bounce to a per zone counter
nr_bounce is only used for proc output. So it could be left as an event
counter. However, the event counters may not be accurate and nr_bounce is
categorizing types of pages in a zone. So we really need this to also be a
per zone counter.

Conversion of nr_unstable to a per zone counter
We need to do some special modifications to the nfs code since there are
multiple cases of disposition and we need to have a page ref for proper
accounting.
This converts the last critical page state of the VM and therefore we need to
remove several functions that were depending on GET_PAGE_STATE_LAST in order
to make the kernel compile again. We are only left with event type counters
in page state.

This makes nr_dirty a per zone counter. Looping over all processors is
avoided during writeback state determination.
The counter aggregation for nr_dirty had to be undone in the NFS layer since
we summed up the page counts from multiple zones. Someone more familiar with
NFS should probably review what I have done.
