Kobject: drop child->parent ref at unregistration

This patch (as1015) reverts changes that were made to the driver core
about four years ago.  The intent back then was to avoid certain kinds
of invalid memory accesses by leaving kernel objects allocated as long
as any of their children were still allocated.  The original and
correct approach was to wait only as long as any children were still
_registered_; that's what this patch reinstates.

This fixes a problem in the SCSI core made visible by the class_device
to regular device conversion: A reference loop (scsi_device holds
reference to request_queue, which is the child of a gendisk, which is
the child of the scsi_device) prevents the data structures from being
released, even though they are deregistered okay.

It's possible that this change will cause a few bugs to surface,
things that have been hidden for several years.  They can be fixed
easily enough by having the child device take an explicit reference to
the parent whenever needed.

16 years agodriver core: remove fields from struct bus_type

driver core: remove fields from struct bus_type

struct bus_type is static everywhere in the kernel.  This moves the
kobject in the structure out of it, and a bunch of other private only to
the driver core fields are now moved to a private structure.  This lets
us dynamically create the backing kobject properly and gives us the
chance to be able to document to users exactly how to use the struct
bus_type as there are no fields they can improperly access.
