263756ec22 [PATCH] ide: MODALIAS support for autoloading of ide-cd, ide-disk, ...
IDE: MODALIAS support for autoloading of ide-cd, ide-disk, ...

Add MODULE_ALIAS to IDE midlayer modules: ide-disk, ide-cd, ide-floppy and
ide-tape, to autoload these modules depending on the probed media type of
the IDE device.

It is used by udev and replaces the former agent shell script of the hotplug
package, which was required to lookup the media type in the proc filesystem.
Using proc was racy, cause the media file is created after the hotplug event
is sent out.

The module autoloading does not take any effect, until something like the
following udev rule is configured:
  SUBSYSTEM=="ide",  ACTION=="add", ENV{MODALIAS}=="?*", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe $env{MODALIAS}"

The module ide-scsi will not be autoloaded, cause it requires manual
configuration. It can't be, and never was supported for automatic setup in
the hotplug package. Adding a MODULE_ALIAS to ide-scsi for all supported
media types, would just lead to a default blacklist entry anyway.

  $ modinfo ide-disk
  filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.15-rc4-g1b0997f5/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-disk.ko
  description:    ATA DISK Driver
  alias:          ide:*m-disk*
  license:        GPL
  ...

  $ modprobe -vn ide:m-disk
  insmod /lib/modules/2.6.15-rc4-g1b0997f5/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-disk.ko

  $ cat /sys/bus/ide/devices/0.0/modalias
  ide:m-disk

It also adds attributes to the IDE device:
  $ tree /sys/bus/ide/devices/0.0/
  /sys/bus/ide/devices/0.0/
  |-- bus -> ../../../../../../../bus/ide
  |-- drivename
  |-- media
  |-- modalias
  |-- power
  |   |-- state
  |   `-- wakeup
  `-- uevent

  $ cat /sys/bus/ide/devices/0.0/{modalias,drivename,media}
  ide:m-disk
  hda
  disk

4ef3b8f4a5 [PATCH] ide: remove ide_driver_t.owner field
The structure ide_driver_t have a .owner field which is a duplicate
of .gendriver.owner field (.gen_driver is a struct device_driver).

This patch removes ide_driver_t's owner field.

53f4654272 [PATCH] Driver Core: fix up all callers of class_device_create()
The previous patch adding the ability to nest struct class_device
changed the paramaters to the call class_device_create().  This patch
fixes up all in-kernel users of the function.

d5dee80ad6 [PATCH] add sysfs support for ide tape
I was recently given an old Travan tape drive and asked to do something
useful with it.  The ide-scsi + st (+serverworks ide controller) combo
results in a hard lockup of the machine which I have not had the energy to
debug, so I turned to ide-tape (which seems to work).  The system in
question debian stable, using udev to manage /dev.

The following patch to ide-tape.c allows udev to create the cdev nodes for
my drive.

Uses msleep() instead of schedule_timeout() to guarantee
the task delays at least the desired time amount.

8604affde9 [PATCH] convert IDE device drivers to driver-model
* add ide_bus_match() and export ide_bus_type
* split ide_remove_driver_from_hwgroup() out of ide_unregister()
* move device cleanup from ide_unregister() to drive_release_dev()
* convert ide_driver_t->name to driver->name
* convert ide_driver_t->{attach,cleanup} to driver->{probe,remove}
* remove ide_driver_t->busy as ide_bus_type->subsys.rwsem
  protects against concurrent ->{probe,remove} calls
* make ide_{un}register_driver() void as it cannot fail now
* use driver_{un}register() directly, remove ide_{un}register_driver()
* use device_register() instead of ata_attach(), remove ata_attach()
* add proc_print_driver() and ide_drivers_show(), remove ide_drivers_op
* fix ide_replace_subdriver() and move it to ide-proc.c
* remove ide_driver_t->drives, ide_drives and drives_lock
* remove ide_driver_t->drivers, drivers and drivers_lock
* remove ide_drive_t->driver and DRIVER() macro

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!
