      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.
