NAME

bus_for_each_drv - driver iterator  

SYNOPSIS

int bus_for_each_drv(struct bus_type * bus, struct device_driver * start, void * data, int (*fn) (struct device_driver *, void *));
 

ARGUMENTS

bus

bus we're dealing with.

start

driver to start iterating on.

data

data to pass to the callback.

fn

function to call for each driver.
 

DESCRIPTION

This is nearly identical to the device iterator above. We iterate over each driver that belongs to bus, and call fn for each. If fn returns anything but 0, we break out and return it. If start is not NULL, we use it as the head of the list.  

NOTE

we don't return the driver that returns a non-zero value, nor do we leave the reference count incremented for that driver. If the caller needs to know that info, it must set it in the callback. It must also be sure to increment the refcount so it doesn't disappear before returning to the caller.
