From: Sudeep Holla <[email protected]>This patch adds a new function to create per-cpu devices. This helps in: 1. reusing the device infrastructure to create any cpu related attributes and corresponding sysfs instead of creating and dealing with raw kobjects directly 2. retaining the legacy path(/sys/devices/system/cpu/..) to support existing sysfs ABI 3. avoiding to create links in the bus directory pointing to the device as there would be per-cpu instance of these devices with the same name since dev->bus is not populated to cpu_sysbus on purpose Signed-off-by: Sudeep Holla <[email protected]> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]> --- drivers/base/cpu.c | 54 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/linux/cpu.h | 4 ++++ 2 files changed, 58 insertions(+) Hi Greg, Here is the alternate solution I could come up with instead of creating cpu class. cpu_device_create is very similar to device_create_groups_vargs w/o class support, but I could not reuse anything else to avoid creating similar function. Let me know your thoughts/suggestions on this.
Any feedback on this ? If ok, I will respin cacheinfo series removing cpu class creation with this patch.
