There is currently only one way for userspace to say "wait for my storage
device to get ready for the modules I just loaded": to load the
scsi_wait_scan module. Expectations of userspace are that once this
module is loaded, all the (storage) devices for which the drivers
were loaded before the module load are present.
Now, there are some issues with the implementation, and the async
stuff got caught in the middle of this: The existing code only
waits for the scsy async probing to finish, but it did not take
into account at all that probing might not have begun yet.
(Russell ran into this problem on his computer and the fix works for him)
This patch fixes this more thoroughly than the previous "fix", which
had some bad side effects (namely, for kernel code that wanted to wait for
the scsi scan it would also do an async sync, which would deadlock if you did
it from async context already.. there's a report about that on lkml):
The patch makes the module first wait for all device driver probes, and then it
will wait for the scsi parallel scan to finish.

For an upcoming distro release, we need to have the xp kernel module
loadable even when not on UV equipment. The xpc module will not load.
This will allow one set of modules dependent upon xp to work on either UV
or non-UV equipment.

With no IRQ available/defined, RTC-CMOS driver prints something like:
rtc0: alarms up to one no, y3k, 114 bytes nvram
^^^^
I guess the following is a bit easier to understand:
rtc0: no alarms, y3k, 114 bytes nvram

On parisc machines, which don't have HIL, removing the hp_sdc module
panics the kernel. Fix this by returning early in hp_sdc_exit() if no HP
SDC controller was found.
Add functionality to probe for the hp_sdc_mlc kernel module (which takes
care of the upper layer HIL functionality on parisc) after two seconds.
This is needed to get all the other HIL drivers (keyboard / mouse/ ..)
drivers automatically loaded by udev later as well.

Bela Lubkin noticed that the statistics for send IPMB and LAN commands
in the IPMI driver could be incremented even if an error occurred. Move
the increments to the proper place to avoid this.
Also add some statistics for retransmissions that failed, and some little
helper functions to neaten up the code a little.

The IPMI driver would attempt to use the event buffer even if that
didn't exist on the BMC. This patch modified the IPMI driver to check
for the event buffer's existence before trying to use it.

Move the go7007 driver away from the legacy i2c binding model, which
is going away really soon now.
The I2C addresses of the audio and video chips in s2250-board didn't
look quite right, apparently they were left-aligned values when Linux
wants right-aligned values, so I fixed them too.

notice one system /proc/iomem some entries missed the name for pci_devices
it turns that dev->dev.kobj name is changed after device_add.
for pci code: via acpi_pci_root_driver.ops.add (aka acpi_pci_root_add)
==> pci_acpi_scan_root is used to scan pci bus/device, and at the same
time we read the resource for pci_dev in the pci_read_bases, we have
res->name = pci_name(pci_dev); pci_name is calling dev_name.
later via acpi_pci_root_driver.ops.start (aka acpi_pci_root_start) ==>
pci_bus_add_device to add all pci_dev in kobj tree. pci_bus_add_device
will call device_add.
actually in device_add
/* first, register with generic layer. */
error = kobject_add(&dev->kobj, dev->kobj.parent, "%s", dev_name(dev));
if (error)
goto Error;
will get one new name for that kobj, old name is freed.
