    Subject[PATCH 00/13] hv: clean up dev_attr usage
    Date
    Hi,

    Here's a set of 13 patches to get rid of the dev_attrs use in the hv bus
    code, as it will be going away soon. It's _way_ bigger than all other
    conversions I've had to do so far in the kernel, as you were using a
    "multiplexor" function for all of these files.

    So, I've broken it up into individual show/store sysfs functions, and
    cleaned up a bunch of debug structures that aren't needed and shouldn't
    be exported to the rest of the kernel.

    I've also fixed up some void * usage in the hv core, in patch 07, to
    make things simpler and not so "magic" when dealing with these pages.
    If you could review that one closely to ensure I didn't mess anything
    up, I would appreciate it.

    Also, are all of these files really needed for sysfs? They seem to be
    all debugging stuff, shouldn't they go into debugfs if you really
    need/use them anymore?

    KY, could you test these out? I don't have access to a hv system at the
    moment. I'll wait for your ack before applying them to any of my trees.

    thanks,

    greg k-h
