      sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner · 7b595756
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game.  After
      deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
      so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners.  Note that
      often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
      accessing removed modules.
      
      This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner.  Note that with
      this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
      backing module from being unloaded.
      
      For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
      following message.

      Driver core: remove unneeded completion from driver release path · 74e9f5fa
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      The completion in the driver release path is due to ancient history in
      the _very_ early 2.5 days when we were not tracking the module reference
      count of attributes.  It is not needed at all and can be removed.
      
      Note, we now have an empty release function for the driver structure.
      This is due to the fact that drivers are statically allocated in the
      system at this point in time, something which I want to change in the
      future.  But remember, drivers are really code, which is reference
      counted by the module, unlike devices, which are data and _must_ be
      reference counted properly in order to work correctly.

      Driver core: udev triggered device-<>driver binding · b8c5cec2
      Kay Sievers 提交于
      We get two per-bus sysfs files:
        ls-l /sys/subsystem/usb
        drwxr-xr-x 2 root root    0 2007-02-16 16:42 devices
        drwxr-xr-x 7 root root    0 2007-02-16 14:55 drivers
        -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2007-02-16 16:42 drivers_autoprobe
        --w------- 1 root root 4096 2007-02-16 16:42 drivers_probe
      
      The flag "drivers_autoprobe" controls the behavior of the bus to bind
      devices by default, or just initialize the device and leave it alone.
      
      The command "drivers_probe" accepts a bus_id and the bus tries to bind a
      driver to this device.
      
      Systems who want to control the driver binding with udev, switch off the
      bus initiated probing:
        echo 0 > /sys/subsystem/usb/drivers_autoprobe
        echo 0 > /sys/subsystem/pcmcia/drivers_autoprobe
        ...
      
      and initiate the probing with udev rules like:
        ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{subsystem/drivers_probe}="$kernel"
        ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pcmcia", ATTR{subsystem/drivers_probe}="$kernel"
        ...
      
      Custom driver binding can happen in earlier rules by something like:
        ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", \
        ATTRS{idVendor}=="1234", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5678" \
        ATTR{subsystem/drivers/<custom-driver>/bind}="$kernel"
      
      This is intended to solve the modprobe.conf mess with "install-rules", custom
      bind/unbind-scripts and all the weird things people invented over the years.
      It should also provide the functionality "libusual" was supposed to do.
      
      With udev, one can just write a udev rule to drive all USB-disks at the
      third port of USB-hub by the "ub" driver, and everything else by
      usb-storage. One can also instruct udev to bind different wireless
      drivers to identical cards - just selected by the pcmcia slot-number, and
      whatever ...
      
      To use the mentioned rules, it needs udev version 106, to be able to
      write ATTR{}="$kernel" to sysfs files.

      Driver core: add notification of bus events · 116af378
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      I finally did as you suggested and added the notifier to the struct
      bus_type itself. There are still problems to be expected is something
      attaches to a bus type where the code can hook in different struct
      device sub-classes (which is imho a big bogosity but I won't even try to
      argue that case now) but it will solve nicely a number of issues I've
      had so far.
      
      That also means that clients interested in registering for such
      notifications have to do it before devices are added and after bus types
      are registered. Fortunately, most bus types that matter for the various
      usage scenarios I have in mind are registerd at postcore_initcall time,
      which means I have a really nice spot at arch_initcall time to add my
      notifiers.
      
      There are 4 notifications provided. Device being added (before hooked to
      the bus) and removed (failure of previous case or after being unhooked
      from the bus), along with driver being bound to a device and about to be
      unbound.
      
      The usage I have for these are:
      
       - The 2 first ones are used to maintain a struct device_ext that is
      hooked to struct device.firmware_data. This structure contains for now a
      pointer to the Open Firmware node related to the device (if any), the
      NUMA node ID (for quick access to it) and the DMA operations pointers &
      iommu table instance for DMA to/from this device. For bus types I own
      (like IBM VIO or EBUS), I just maintain that structure directly from the
      bus code when creating the devices. But for bus types managed by generic
      code like PCI or platform (actually, of_platform which is a variation of
      platform linked to Open Firmware device-tree), I need this notifier.
      
       - The other two ones have a completely different usage scenario. I have
      cases where multiple devices and their drivers depend on each other. For
      example, the IBM EMAC network driver needs to attach to a MAL DMA engine
      which is a separate device, and a PHY interface which is also a separate
      device. They are all of_platform_device's (well, about to be with my
      upcoming patches) but there is no say in what precise order the core
      will "probe" them and instanciate the various modules. The solution I
      found for that is to have the drivers for emac to use multithread_probe,
      and wait for a driver to be bound to the target MAL and PHY control
      devices (the device-tree contains reference to the MAL and PHY interface
      nodes, which I can then match to of_platform_devices). Right now, I've
      been polling, but with that notifier, I can more cleanly wait (with a
      timeout of course).

      Driver core: Remove unneeded routines from driver core · 81107bf5
      Alan Stern 提交于
      This patch (as783) simplifies the driver core slightly by removing four
      unnecessary _get and _put methods.
      
      It is vital that when a driver is removed from its bus's klist of
      registered drivers, or when a device is removed from a driver's klist
      of bound devices, that the klist updates complete synchronously.
      Otherwise the kernel might try binding an unregistered driver to a
      newly-registered device, or adding a device to the klist for a new
      driver before it has been removed from the old driver's klist.
      
      Since the removals must be synchronous, they don't need to update any
      reference counts.  Hence the _get and _put methods can be dispensed
      with.

      Driver core: Fix potential deadlock in driver core · f2eaae19
      Alan Stern 提交于
      There is a potential deadlock in the driver core.  It boils down to
      the fact that bus_remove_device() calls klist_remove() instead of
      klist_del(), thereby waiting until the reference count of the
      klist_node in the bus's klist of devices drops to 0.  The refcount
      can't reach 0 so long as a modprobe process is trying to bind a new
      driver to the device being removed, by calling __driver_attach().  The
      problem is that __driver_attach() tries to acquire the device's
      parent's semaphore, but the caller of bus_remove_device() is quite
      likely to own that semaphore already.
      
      It isn't sufficient just to replace klist_remove() with klist_del().
      Doing so runs the risk that the device would remain on the bus's klist
      of devices for some time, and so could be bound to another driver even
      after it was unregistered.  What's needed is a new way to distinguish
      whether or not a device is registered, based on a criterion other than
      whether its klist_node is linked into the bus's klist of devices.  That
      way driver binding can fail when the device is unregistered, even if
      it is still linked into the klist.
      
      This patch (as782) implements the solution, by adding a new bitflag to
      indiate when a struct device is registered, by testing the flag before
      allowing a driver to bind a device, and by changing the definition of
      the device_is_registered() inline.

      [PATCH] driver core: driver_bind attribute returns incorrect value · 37225401
      Ryan Wilson 提交于
      The manual driver <-> device binding attribute in sysfs doesn't return
      the correct value on failure or success of driver_probe_device.
      driver_probe_device returns 1 on success (the driver accepted the
      device) or 0 on probe failure (when the driver didn't accept the
      device but no real error occured). However, the attribute can't just
      return 0 or 1, it must return the number of bytes consumed from buf
      or an error value. Returning 0 indicates to userspace that nothing
      was written (even though the kernel has tried to do the bind/probe and
      failed). Returning 1 indicates that only one character was accepted in
      which case userspace will re-try the write with a partial string.
      
      A more correct version of driver_bind would return count (to indicate
      the entire string was consumed) when driver_probe_device returns 1
      and -ENODEV when driver_probe_device returns 0. This patch makes that
      change.

      [PATCH] Hold the device's parent's lock during probe and remove · bf74ad5b
      Alan Stern 提交于
      This patch (as604) makes the driver core hold a device's parent's lock
      as well as the device's lock during calls to the probe and remove
      methods in a driver.  This facility is needed by USB device drivers,
      owing to the peculiar way USB devices work:
      
      	A device provides multiple interfaces, and drivers are bound
      	to interfaces rather than to devices;
      
      	Nevertheless a reset, reset-configuration, suspend, or resume
      	affects the entire device and requires the caller to hold the
      	lock for the device, not just a lock for one of the interfaces.
      
      Since a USB driver's probe method is always called with the interface
      lock held, the locking order rules (always lock parent before child)
      prevent these methods from acquiring the device lock.  The solution
      provided here is to call all probe and remove methods, for all devices
      (not just USB), with the parent lock already acquired.
      
      Although currently only the USB subsystem requires these changes, people
      have mentioned in prior discussion that the overhead of acquiring an
      extra semaphore in all the prove/remove sequences is not overly large.
      
      Up to now, the USB core has been using its own set of private
      semaphores.  A followup patch will remove them, relying entirely on the
      device semaphores provided by the driver core.
      
      The code paths affected by this patch are:
      
      	device_add and device_del: The USB core already holds the parent
      	lock, so no actual change is needed.
      
      	driver_register and driver_unregister: The driver core will now
      	lock both the parent and the device before probing or removing.
      
      	driver_bind and driver_unbind (in sysfs): These routines will
      	now lock both the parent and the device before binding or
      	unbinding.
      
      	bus_rescan_devices: The helper routine will lock the parent
      	before probing a device.
      
      I have not tested this patch for conflicts with other subsystems.  As
      far as I can see, the only possibility of conflict would lie in the
      bus_rescan_devices pathway, and it seems pretty remote.  Nevertheless,
      it would be good for this to get a lot of testing in -mm.
