      driver core: Functional dependencies tracking support · 9ed98953
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      Currently, there is a problem with taking functional dependencies
      between devices into account.
      
      What I mean by a "functional dependency" is when the driver of device
      B needs device A to be functional and (generally) its driver to be
      present in order to work properly.  This has certain consequences
      for power management (suspend/resume and runtime PM ordering) and
      shutdown ordering of these devices.  In general, it also implies that
      the driver of A needs to be working for B to be probed successfully
      and it cannot be unbound from the device before the B's driver.
      
      Support for representing those functional dependencies between
      devices is added here to allow the driver core to track them and act
      on them in certain cases where applicable.
      
      The argument for doing that in the driver core is that there are
      quite a few distinct use cases involving device dependencies, they
      are relatively hard to get right in a driver (if one wants to
      address all of them properly) and it only gets worse if multiplied
      by the number of drivers potentially needing to do it.  Morever, at
      least one case (asynchronous system suspend/resume) cannot be handled
      in a single driver at all, because it requires the driver of A to
      wait for B to suspend (during system suspend) and the driver of B to
      wait for A to resume (during system resume).
      
      For this reason, represent dependencies between devices as "links",
      with the help of struct device_link objects each containing pointers
      to the "linked" devices, a list node for each of them, status
      information, flags, and an RCU head for synchronization.
      
      Also add two new list heads, representing the lists of links to the
      devices that depend on the given one (consumers) and to the devices
      depended on by it (suppliers), and a "driver presence status" field
      (needed for figuring out initial states of device links) to struct
      device.
      
      The entire data structure consisting of all of the lists of link
      objects for all devices is protected by a mutex (for link object
      addition/removal and for list walks during device driver probing
      and removal) and by SRCU (for list walking in other case that will
      be introduced by subsequent change sets).  If CONFIG_SRCU is not
      selected, however, an rwsem is used for protecting the entire data
      structure.
      
      In addition, each link object has an internal status field whose
      value reflects whether or not drivers are bound to the devices
      pointed to by the link or probing/removal of their drivers is in
      progress etc.  That field is only modified under the device links
      mutex, but it may be read outside of it in some cases (introduced by
      subsequent change sets), so modifications of it are annotated with
      WRITE_ONCE().
      
      New links are added by calling device_link_add() which takes three
      arguments: pointers to the devices in question and flags.  In
      particular, if DL_FLAG_STATELESS is set in the flags, the link status
      is not to be taken into account for this link and the driver core
      will not manage it.  In turn, if DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE is set in the
      flags, the driver core will remove the link automatically when the
      consumer device driver unbinds from it.
      
      One of the actions carried out by device_link_add() is to reorder
      the lists used for device shutdown and system suspend/resume to
      put the consumer device along with all of its children and all of
      its consumers (and so on, recursively) to the ends of those lists
      in order to ensure the right ordering between all of the supplier
      and consumer devices.
      
      For this reason, it is not possible to create a link between two
      devices if the would-be supplier device already depends on the
      would-be consumer device as either a direct descendant of it or a
      consumer of one of its direct descendants or one of its consumers
      and so on.
      
      There are two types of link objects, persistent and non-persistent.
      The persistent ones stay around until one of the target devices is
      deleted, while the non-persistent ones are removed automatically when
      the consumer driver unbinds from its device (ie. they are assumed to
      be valid only as long as the consumer device has a driver bound to
      it).  Persistent links are created by default and non-persistent
      links are created when the DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE flag is passed
      to device_link_add().
      
      Both persistent and non-persistent device links can be deleted
      with an explicit call to device_link_del().
      
      Links created without the DL_FLAG_STATELESS flag set are managed
      by the driver core using a simple state machine.  There are 5 states
      each link can be in: DORMANT (unused), AVAILABLE (the supplier driver
      is present and functional), CONSUMER_PROBE (the consumer driver is
      probing), ACTIVE (both supplier and consumer drivers are present and
      functional), and SUPPLIER_UNBIND (the supplier driver is unbinding).
      The driver core updates the link state automatically depending on
      what happens to the linked devices and for each link state specific
      actions are taken in addition to that.
      
      For example, if the supplier driver unbinds from its device, the
      driver core will also unbind the drivers of all of its consumers
      automatically under the assumption that they cannot function
      properly without the supplier.  Analogously, the driver core will
      only allow the consumer driver to bind to its device if the
      supplier driver is present and functional (ie. the link is in
      the AVAILABLE state).  If that's not the case, it will rely on
      the existing deferred probing mechanism to wait for the supplier
      driver to become available.

      driver core: correct device's shutdown order · 52cdbdd4
      Grygorii Strashko 提交于
      Now device's shutdown sequence is performed in reverse order of their
      registration in devices_kset list and this sequence corresponds to the
      reverse device's creation order. So, devices_kset data tracks
      "parent<-child" device's dependencies only.
      
      Unfortunately, that's not enough and causes problems in case of
      implementing board's specific shutdown procedures. For example [1]:
      "DRA7XX_evm uses PCF8575 and one of the PCF output lines feeds to
      MMC/SD and this line should be driven high in order for the MMC/SD to
      be detected. This line is modelled as regulator and the hsmmc driver
      takes care of enabling and disabling it. In the case of 'reboot',
      during shutdown path as part of it's cleanup process the hsmmc driver
      disables this regulator. This makes MMC boot not functional."
      
      To handle this issue the .shutdown() callback could be implemented
      for PCF8575 device where corresponding GPIO pins will be configured to
      states, required for correct warm/cold reset. This can be achieved
      only when all .shutdown() callbacks have been called already for all
      PCF8575's consumers. But devices_kset is not filled correctly now:
      
      devices_kset: Device61 4e000000.dmm
      devices_kset: Device62 48070000.i2c
      devices_kset: Device63 48072000.i2c
      devices_kset: Device64 48060000.i2c
      devices_kset: Device65 4809c000.mmc
      ...
      devices_kset: Device102 fixedregulator-sd
      ...
      devices_kset: Device181 0-0020 // PCF8575
      devices_kset: Device182 gpiochip496
      devices_kset: Device183 0-0021 // PCF8575
      devices_kset: Device184 gpiochip480
      
      As can be seen from above .shutdown() callback for PCF8575 will be called
      before its consumers, which, in turn means, that any changes of PCF8575
      GPIO's pins will be or unsafe or overwritten later by GPIO's consumers.
      The problem can be solved if devices_kset list will be filled not only
      according device creation order, but also according device's probing
      order to track "supplier<-consumer" dependencies also.
      
      Hence, as a fix, lets add devices_kset_move_last(),
      devices_kset_move_before(), devices_kset_move_after() and call them
      from device_move() and also add call of devices_kset_move_last() in
      really_probe(). After this change all entries in devices_kset will
      be sorted according to device's creation ("parent<-child") and
      probing ("supplier<-consumer") order.
      
      devices_kset after:
      devices_kset: Device121 48070000.i2c
      devices_kset: Device122 i2c-0
      ...

      devices_kset: Device151 gpiochip480
      devices_kset: Device152 0-0019
      ...

      driver-core: add asynchronous probing support for drivers · 765230b5
      Dmitry Torokhov 提交于
      Some devices take a long time when initializing, and not all drivers are
      suited to initialize their devices when they are open. For example,
      input drivers need to interrogate their devices in order to publish
      device's capabilities before userspace will open them. When such drivers
      are compiled into kernel they may stall entire kernel initialization.
      
      This change allows drivers request for their probe functions to be
      called asynchronously during driver and device registration (manual
      binding is still synchronous). Because async_schedule is used to perform
      asynchronous calls module loading will still wait for the probing to
      complete.
      
      Note that the end goal is to make the probing asynchronous by default,
      so annotating drivers with PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS is a temporary
      measure that allows us to speed up boot process while we validating and
      fixing the rest of the drivers and preparing userspace.
      
      This change is based on earlier patch by "Luis R. Rodriguez"

      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.

      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.

      class: change internal semaphore to a mutex · f75b1c60
      Dave Young 提交于
      Now that the lockdep infrastructure in the class core is in place, we
      should be able to properly change the internal class semaphore to be a
      mutex.
      
      David wrote the original patch, and Greg fixed it up to apply properly
      due to all of the recent changes in this area.
