This patch kills the firmware loading requests of FW_ACTION_NOHOTPLUG before suspend to avoid blocking suspend because there is no timeout for these requests.

Generally there are only two drivers which don't need uevent to handle firmware loading, so don't cache these firmwares during suspend for these drivers since doing that may block firmware loading forever. Both the two drivers are involved in private firmware images, so they don't hit in direct loading too.

When a system goes to reboot/shutdown, it tries to disable the usermode helper via usermodehelper_disable(). This might be blocked when a driver tries to load a firmware beforehand and it's stuck by some reason. For example, dell_rbu driver loads the firmware in non-hotplug mode and waits for user-space clearing the loading sysfs flag. If user-space doesn't clear the flag, it waits forever, thus blocks the reboot, too. As a workaround, in this patch, the firmware class driver registers a reboot notifier so that it can abort all pending f/w bufs before issuing usermodehelper_disable().

Since 3.7 kernel, the firmware loader can read the firmware files directly, and the traditional user-mode helper is invoked only as a fallback. This seems working pretty well, and the next step would be to reduce the redundant user-mode helper stuff in future. This patch is a preparation for that: refactor the code for splitting user-mode helper stuff more easily. No functional change.

There is one race that both request_firmware() with the same firmware name. The race scenerio is as below: CPU1 CPU2 request_firmware() --> _request_firmware_load() return err another request_firmware() is coming --> _request_firmware_cleanup is called --> _request_firmware_prepare --> release_firmware ---> fw_lookup_and_allocate_buf --> spin_lock(&fwc->lock) ... __fw_lookup_buf() return true fw_free_buf() will be called --> ... kref_put --> decrease the refcount to 0 kref_get(&tmp->ref) ==> it will trigger warning due to refcount == 0 __fw_free_buf() --> ... spin_unlock(&fwc->lock) spin_lock(&fwc->lock) list_del(&buf->list) spin_unlock(&fwc->lock) kfree(buf) After that, the freed buf will be used. The key race is decreasing refcount to 0 and list_del is not protected together by fwc->lock, and it is possible another thread try to get it between refcount==0 and list_del.

There is a race as below when calling request_firmware(): CPU1 CPU2 write 0 > loading mutex_lock(&fw_lock) ... set_bit FW_STATUS_DONE class_timeout is coming set_bit FW_STATUS_ABORT complete_all &completion ... mutex_unlock(&fw_lock) In this time, the bit FW_STATUS_DONE and FW_STATUS_ABORT are set, and request_firmware() will return failure due to condition in _request_firmware_load(): if (!buf->size || test_bit(FW_STATUS_ABORT, &buf->status)) retval = -ENOENT; But from the above scenerio, it should be a successful requesting. So we need judge if the bit FW_STATUS_DONE is already set before calling fw_load_abort() in timeout function. As Ming's proposal, we need change the timer into sched_work to benefit from using &fw_lock mutex also.

Firstly 'firmware_buf' is introduced to make all loading requests to share one firmware kernel buffer, so firmware_buf should be used in direct loading for saving memory and speedup firmware loading. Secondly, the commit below abb139e7(firmware:teach the kernel to load firmware files directly from the filesystem) introduces direct loading for fixing udev regression, but it bypasses the firmware cache meachnism, so this patch enables caching firmware for direct loading case since it is still needed to solve drivers' dependency during system resume.

Under 'Opportunistic sleep' situation, system sleep might be triggered very frequently, so the uncahce work may not be completed before caching firmware during next suspend. This patch cancels the uncache work before caching firmware to fix the problem above. Also this patch optimizes the cacheing firmware mechanism a bit by only storing one firmware cache entry for one firmware image. So if the firmware is still cached during suspend, it doesn't need to be loaded from user space any more.

Fengguang correctly points out that the firmware reading should not use vfs_read(), since the buffer is in kernel space. The vfs_read() just happened to work for kernel threads, but sparse warns about the incorrect address spaces, and it's definitely incorrect and could fail for other users of the firmware loading.

This is a first step in allowing people to by-pass udev for loading device firmware. Current versions of udev will deadlock (causing us to block for the 30 second timeout) under some circumstances if the firmware is loaded as part of the module initialization path, and this is causing problems for media drivers in particular. The current patch hardcodes the firmware path that udev uses by default, and will fall back to the legacy udev mode if the firmware cannot be found there. We'd like to add support for both configuring the paths and the fallback behaviour, but in the meantime this hopefully fixes the immediate problem, while also giving us a way forward.

After starting caching firmware, there is still some time left before devices are suspended, during the period, request_firmware or its nowait version may still be triggered by the below situations to load firmware images which can't be cached during suspend/resume cycle. - new devices added - driver bind - or device open kind of things This patch utilizes the piggyback trick to cache firmware for this kind of situation: just increase the firmware buf's reference count and add the fw name entry into cache entry list after starting caching firmware and before syscore_suspend() is called.

This patch introduces the three helpers below: void device_cache_fw_images(void) void device_uncache_fw_images(void) void device_uncache_fw_images_delay(unsigned long) so we can use device_cache_fw_images() to cache firmware for all devices which need firmware to work, and the device driver can get the firmware easily from kernel memory when system isn't ready for completing requests of loading firmware. After system is ready for completing firmware loading, driver core will call device_uncache_fw_images() or its delay version to free the cached firmware. The above helpers will be used to cache device firmware during system suspend/resume cycle in the following patches.

This patch always let firmware_buf own the pages buffer allocated inside firmware_data_write, and add all instances of firmware_buf into the firmware cache global list. Also introduce one private field in 'struct firmware', so release_firmware will see the instance of firmware_buf associated with the current firmware instance, then just 'free' the instance of firmware_buf. The firmware_buf instance represents one pages buffer for one firmware image, so lots of firmware loading requests can share the same firmware_buf instance if they request the same firmware image file. This patch will make implementation of the following cache_firmware/ uncache_firmware very easy and simple. In fact, the patch improves request_formware/release_firmware: - only request userspace to write firmware image once if several devices share one same firmware image and its drivers call request_firmware concurrently.
