Date: Fri, 13 Sep 2013 11:32:48 -0700 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> To: kys@...rosoft.com, haiyangz@...rosoft.com Cc: devel@...uxdriverproject.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 00/13] hv: clean up dev_attr usage Hi, Here's a set of 13 patches to get rid of the dev_attrs use in the hv bus code, as it will be going away soon. It's _way_ bigger than all other conversions I've had to do so far in the kernel, as you were using a "multiplexor" function for all of these files. So, I've broken it up into individual show/store sysfs functions, and cleaned up a bunch of debug structures that aren't needed and shouldn't be exported to the rest of the kernel. I've also fixed up some void * usage in the hv core, in patch 07, to make things simpler and not so "magic" when dealing with these pages. If you could review that one closely to ensure I didn't mess anything up, I would appreciate it. Also, are all of these files really needed for sysfs? They seem to be all debugging stuff, shouldn't they go into debugfs if you really need/use them anymore? KY, could you test these out? I don't have access to a hv system at the moment. I'll wait for your ack before applying them to any of my trees. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
