But maybe patchwork makes things easier with respect to attached patches. Anyway - if you follow the normal pattern then everything should just works. Most important, document what was changed from v1 to v2 - so when davem and other looks at this they know what was changed. Sam

Hmm, I'm not sure whether this belongs here. I thought it was obvious
what these two changes are for due to the canonical function names.

I used the same indentation that is used for modalias_show in
arch/powerpc/kernel/vio.c but I wasn't sure what the proper
indentation would be in this case.
Can you suggest the right indentation?

Yeah, I know. I can re-send them with git send-email if that's desired,

It would be nice if you could add here the effect this patch has - that
it fixes the debian installer.

At sparclinux we usually submit one patch per mail.
And patches which are specific for either sparc32 or sparc64 are prefixed so.

You are right. I was switching over to your tree and the __ATTR_RO
somehow fell off while doing that.

I have cleaned up the formatting in both patches and edited
the commit messages, attaching updated patches.

You're not hooking this function up at all into the operations. Looks like
you are mixing this patch up with other local changes.

Extra space before "return 0" after the TAB.
Need an empty line after the local variable declarations.

Attaching two patches which add modalias_show and vio_hotplug. With
the patches applied, module autoloading works as expected.
Going to bed now, it's past midnight here.

Actually there is another, more fundamental, problem. The VIO devices on sparc64 are not instantiated from openfirmware device nodes. They are instead instantiated from nodes in the machine description. Ben's patch is therefore buggy, he's looking at the of_node but that will never be filled in for a VIO device on sparc64. That's why I kinda cringed when it was suggested that the PowerPC and Sparc64 VIO stuff should be merged together. They simply can't, as they are instantiating devices from two different sources. Does Debian's installer have a machine description counterpart to the opernfirmware device probing and discovery? I bet it doesn't, and that seems to be the first piece of infrastructure that needs to be added before any of this can work.

Yeah, I modified Ben's patch and it works: root@deb4g:/sys/devices/channel-devices# cat vdc*/mod* vio:Tvdc-portSunknown vio:Tvdc-portSunknown vio:Tvdc-portSunknown vio:Tvdc-portSunknown vio:Tvdc-portSunknown root@deb4g:/sys/devices/channel-devices# But I need to do some more clean up.

The missing bit is probably having the individual sparc64 VIO drivers define proper module aliases.

The aliases are already working, now it's just the actual hotplug handler which is missing. Adrian -- .''`.

I'm not sure actually but back then you were definitely installing Debian's sparc port (32-bit userland / 64-bit kernel) which is no longer part of Debian. We are now working on a new, full 64-bit SPARC port called "sparc64", so many things are actually built from scratch. It's therefore not unlikely that the old installer images contained some work-around to address the problem, at least initramfs-tools contains one [1] which is not used in the installer image, however, and people therefore have to load the modules manually for the installation. > Either way, I'll look at this patch, thanks.

Thanks for bringing this up. Although I wonder, I was able to successfully install debian just fine a couple years ago in LDOM guest nodes without any special changes whatsoever. Were there autoload hacks placed in /etc or similar before? Either way, I'll look at this patch, thanks.
