[PATCH rdma-next 0/6] Refactor class and device registration code

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

>From Parav,

Refactor ib_umad class and device registration code for following items.
1. To make use of more static definitions and utilize class_groups and
dev_groups to register class and device specific attributes This is
similar to commits b53b1c08a23e and c5c4d92e70f3 for ib_uverbs module.
2. Use kref instead of kobject as its lighter for ib_umad_device
reference counting.
3. Avoid accessing undefined dev->name during ioctl() operation for device
under destruction.
4. Refactor for minor cosmetics for alignments.
5. Return more appropriate error code instead of -1.

Thanks

Parav Pandit (6):
  IB/umad: Define and use macro for infiniband_mad class name
  IB/umad: Avoid destroying device while it is accessed
  IB/umad: Simplify and avoid dynamic allocation of class
  IB/umad: Refactor code to use cdev_device_add()
  IB/umad: Use class_groups and let core create class file
  IB/umad: Start using dev_groups of class
