      ACPI / hotplug / driver core: Handle containers in a special way · caa73ea1
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      ACPI container devices require special hotplug handling, at least
      on some systems, since generally user space needs to carry out
      system-specific cleanup before it makes sense to offline devices in
      the container.  However, the current ACPI hotplug code for containers
      first attempts to offline devices in the container and only then it
      notifies user space of the container offline.
      
      Moreover, after commit 202317a5 (ACPI / scan: Add acpi_device
      objects for all device nodes in the namespace), ACPI device objects
      representing containers are present as long as the ACPI namespace
      nodes corresponding to them are present, which may be forever, even
      if the container devices are physically detached from the system (the
      return values of the corresponding _STA methods change in those
      cases, but generally the namespace nodes themselves are still there).
      Thus it is useful to introduce entities representing containers that
      will go away during container hot-unplug.
      
      The goal of this change is to address both the above issues.
      
      The idea is to create a "companion" container system device for each
      of the ACPI container device objects during the initial namespace
      scan or on a hotplug event making the container present.  That system
      device will be unregistered on container removal.  A new bus type
      for container devices is added for this purpose, because device
      offline and online operations need to be defined for them.  The
      online operation is a trivial function that is always successful
      and the offline uses a callback pointed to by the container device's
      offline member.
      
      For ACPI containers that callback simply walks the list of ACPI
      device objects right below the container object (its children) and
      checks if all of their physical companion devices are offline.  If
      that's not the case, it returns -EBUSY and the container system
      devivce cannot be put offline.  Consequently, to put the container
      system device offline, it is necessary to put all of the physical
      devices depending on its ACPI companion object offline beforehand.
      
      Container system devices created for ACPI container objects are
      initially online.  They are created by the container ACPI scan
      handler whose hotplug.demand_offline flag is set.  That causes
      acpi_scan_hot_remove() to check if the companion container system
      device is offline before attempting to remove an ACPI container or
      any devices below it.  If the check fails, a KOBJ_CHANGE uevent is
      emitted for the container system device in question and user space
      is expected to offline all devices below the container and the
      container itself in response to it.  Then, user space can finalize
      the removal of the container with the help of its ACPI device
      object's eject attribute in sysfs.

      driver/base: implement subsys_virtual_register() · d73ce004
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Kay tells me the most appropriate place to expose workqueues to
      userland would be /sys/devices/virtual/workqueues/WQ_NAME which is
      symlinked to /sys/bus/workqueue/devices/WQ_NAME and that we're lacking
      a way to do that outside of driver core as virtual_device_parent()
      isn't exported and there's no inteface to conveniently create a
      virtual subsystem.
      
      This patch implements subsys_virtual_register() by factoring out
      subsys_register() from subsys_system_register() and using it with
      virtual_device_parent() as the origin directory.  It's identical to
      subsys_system_register() other than the origin directory but we aren't
      gonna restrict the device names which should be used under it.
      
      This will be used to expose workqueue attributes to userland.

      driver core: move the deferred probe pointer into the private area · ef8a3fd6

      Nothing outside of the driver core needs to get to the deferred probe

      drivercore: Add driver probe deferral mechanism · d1c3414c
      Grant Likely 提交于
      Allow drivers to report at probe time that they cannot get all the resources
      required by the device, and should be retried at a later time.
      
      This should completely solve the problem of getting devices
      initialized in the right order.  Right now this is mostly handled by
      mucking about with initcall ordering which is a complete hack, and
      doesn't even remotely handle the case where device drivers are in
      modules.  This approach completely sidesteps the issues by allowing
      driver registration to occur in any order, and any driver can request
      to be retried after a few more other drivers get probed.
      
      v4: - Integrate Manjunath's addition of a separate workqueue
          - Change -EAGAIN to -EPROBE_DEFER for drivers to trigger deferral
          - Update comment blocks to reflect how the code really works
      v3: - Hold off workqueue scheduling until late_initcall so that the bulk
            of driver probes are complete before we start retrying deferred devices.
          - Tested with simple use cases.  Still needs more testing though.
            Using it to get rid of the gpio early_initcall madness, or to replace
            the ASoC internal probe deferral code would be ideal.
      v2: - added locking so it should no longer be utterly broken in that regard
          - remove device from deferred list at device_del time.
          - Still completely untested with any real use case, but has been
            boot tested.

      driver-core: implement 'sysdev' functionality for regular devices and buses · ca22e56d
      Kay Sievers 提交于
      All sysdev classes and sysdev devices will converted to regular devices
      and buses to properly hook userspace into the event processing.
      
      There is no interesting difference between a 'sysdev' and 'device' which
      would justify to roll an entire own subsystem with different userspace
      export semantics. Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem
      infrastructure from sysdev devices, which are currently not properly
      available.
      
      Every converted sysdev class will create a regular device with the class
      name in /sys/devices/system and all registered devices will becom a children
      of theses devices.
      
      For compatibility reasons, the sysdev class-wide attributes are created
      at this parent device. (Do not copy that logic for anything new, subsystem-
      wide properties belong to the subsystem, not to some fake parent device
      created in /sys/devices.)
      
      Every sysdev driver is implemented as a simple subsystem interface now,
      and no longer called a driver.
      
      After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
      sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.

      Driver Core: devtmpfs - kernel-maintained tmpfs-based /dev · 2b2af54a
      Kay Sievers 提交于
      Devtmpfs lets the kernel create a tmpfs instance called devtmpfs
      very early at kernel initialization, before any driver-core device
      is registered. Every device with a major/minor will provide a
      device node in devtmpfs.
      
      Devtmpfs can be changed and altered by userspace at any time,
      and in any way needed - just like today's udev-mounted tmpfs.
      Unmodified udev versions will run just fine on top of it, and will
      recognize an already existing kernel-created device node and use it.
      The default node permissions are root:root 0600. Proper permissions
      and user/group ownership, meaningful symlinks, all other policy still
      needs to be applied by userspace.
      
      If a node is created by devtmps, devtmpfs will remove the device node
      when the device goes away. If the device node was created by
      userspace, or the devtmpfs created node was replaced by userspace, it
      will no longer be removed by devtmpfs.
      
      If it is requested to auto-mount it, it makes init=/bin/sh work
      without any further userspace support. /dev will be fully populated
      and dynamic, and always reflect the current device state of the kernel.
      With the commonly used dynamic device numbers, it solves the problem
      where static devices nodes may point to the wrong devices.
      
      It is intended to make the initial bootup logic simpler and more robust,
      by de-coupling the creation of the inital environment, to reliably run
      userspace processes, from a complex userspace bootstrap logic to provide
      a working /dev.

      Driver core: add new device to bus's list before probing · 2023c610
      Alan Stern 提交于
      This patch (as1271) affects when new devices get linked into their
      bus's list of devices.  Currently this happens after probing, and it
      doesn't happen at all if probing fails.  Clearly this is wrong,
      because at that point quite a few symbolic links have already been
      created in sysfs.  We are committed to adding the device, so it should
      be linked into the bus's list regardless.
      
      In addition, this needs to happen before the uevent announcing the new
      device gets issued.  Otherwise user programs might try to access the
      device before it has been added to the bus.
      
      To fix both these problems, the patch moves the call to
      klist_add_tail() forward from bus_attach_device() to bus_add_device().
      Since bus_attach_device() now does nothing but probe for drivers, it
      has been renamed to bus_probe_device().  And lastly, the kerneldoc is
      updated.

      driver-core: use klist for class device list and implement iterator · 5a3ceb86
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Iterating over entries using callback usually isn't too fun especially
      when the entry being iterated over can't be manipulated freely.  This
      patch converts class->p->class_devices to klist and implements class
      device iterator so that the users can freely build their own control
      structure.  The users are also free to call back into class code
      without worrying about locking.
      
      class_for_each_device() and class_find_device() are converted to use
      the new iterators, so their users don't have to worry about locking
      anymore either.
      
      Note: This depends on klist-dont-iterate-over-deleted-entries patch
      because class_intf->add/remove_dev() depends on proper synchronization
      with device removal.
