The below would get rid of the PMU and workqueue warnings with no side-effects (the device isn't used for anything except sysfs). I'm stuck in the device code for BDIs, I can't find a sane place to set the node before it gets added, due to it using device_create_vargs(). --- diff --git a/kernel/events/core.c b/kernel/events/core.c index 4f08b17d6426..2a64dcc3d70f 100644 --- a/kernel/events/core.c +++ b/kernel/events/core.c @@ -9965,6 +9965,7 @@ static int pmu_dev_alloc(struct pmu *pmu) if (!pmu->dev) goto out; + set_dev_node(pmu->dev, 0); pmu->dev->groups = pmu->attr_groups; device_initialize(pmu->dev); ret = dev_set_name(pmu->dev, "%s", pmu->name); diff --git a/kernel/workqueue.c b/kernel/workqueue.c index bc2e09a8ea61..efafc4590bbe 100644 --- a/kernel/workqueue.c +++ b/kernel/workqueue.c @@ -5613,6 +5613,7 @@ int workqueue_sysfs_register(struct workqueue_struct *wq) wq_dev->dev.bus = &wq_subsys; wq_dev->dev.release = wq_device_release; dev_set_name(&wq_dev->dev, "%s", wq->name); + set_dev_node(wq_dev, 0); /* * unbound_attrs are created separately.
