It fixes a non-problem. I would like to see the network core suspend/resume proposal as well. Last time I examined doing network core suspend help, the problem was that the physical device suspend was called before the class device.

If physical devices are registered before class devices then when suspending class devices are naturally suspended first.

I don't want to have two separate device trees in the kernel (well, one big device tree and a bunch of little class_device trees.) The code duplication in the class_device code is just too much, and I get questions all the time as to what the differences are. With these slow and gradual changes, we are getting a true, unified, device tree, and it will reduce the amount of code and complexity we need to maintain and fix in the driver core itself. And it should also alow for proper power management functionality, using the changes that Linus put into the driver core about 8 months ago. Don't worry, I have input patches queued up next for you Dmitry :) thanks, greg k-h ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

The dev_t is a good example for the mess we try to fix here. Not having a dev_t for "devices" lead to the creation of a lot of otherwise completely useless "class devices" which are just a total pain to interpret, and follow the events they create, from userspace. Things like the scsi_device devices, usb_device devices, ... just exist, because only this type of devices was allowed to pass information for device nodes to userspace.

As such they are separate entities and "deserve" their own structures no mater what. I can bet that number of real devices that need dev_t is smaller than number of virtual devices that do not need full power management: PCI cards, ACPI tree, etc, etc - hardware devices interfacing with other parts of the kernel, not userspace directly. NET, input, tty, etc - no need to suspend late/resume early And, btw, having separate device and struct device does not prevent exporting them as a unified sysfs tree and is in fact pretty easy to do (I believe I posted patches to do that as well). -- Dmitry ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

The memory requirements of 'struct device' is trivial in the overall system requirements. Now this doesn't mean we need to go crazy with adding everything and the kitchen sink to the structure, but adding a dev_t is not going to make any difference to anyone. thanks, greg k-h ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

Last time I examined doing network core suspend help, > the problem was that the physical device suspend was called before the > class device. It is not clear how this change would help. Now the real device of the network device (ethX and such) will be called first. If not, something's wrong... thanks, greg k-h ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

It was CCed to David Miller and you and netdev a long time ago (like 8-9 months ago.) It's been in the -mm tree since then and discussed on lkml a few times too. As I got David's ack for it, and he said to push it through my tree, I didn't think any more of it. My apologies, I should have consulted you again before doing it. thanks, greg k-h ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread
