PM: runtime: Fix supplier device management during consumer probe

2022-07-01T19:04:15+00:00

Because pm_runtime_get_suppliers() bumps up the rpm_active counter
of each device link to a supplier of the given device in addition
to bumping up the supplier's PM-runtime usage counter, a runtime
suspend of the consumer device may case the latter to go down to 0
when pm_runtime_put_suppliers() is running on a remote CPU.  If that
happens after pm_runtime_put_suppliers() has released power.lock for
the consumer device, and a runtime resume of that device takes place
immediately after it, before pm_runtime_put() is called for the
supplier, that pm_runtime_put() call may cause the supplier to be
suspended even though the consumer is active.

To prevent that from happening, modify pm_runtime_get_suppliers() to
call pm_runtime_get_sync() for the given device's suppliers without
touching the rpm_active counters of the involved device links
Accordingly, modify pm_runtime_put_suppliers() to call pm_runtime_put()
for the given device's suppliers without looking at the rpm_active
counters of the device links at hand.  [This is analogous to what
happened before commit 4c06c4e6cf63 ("driver core: Fix possible
supplier PM-usage counter imbalance").]

Since pm_runtime_get_suppliers() sets supplier_preactivated for each
device link where the supplier's PM-runtime usage counter has been
incremented and pm_runtime_put_suppliers() calls pm_runtime_put() for
the suppliers whose device links have supplier_preactivated set, the
PM-runtime usage counter is balanced for each supplier and this is
independent of the runtime suspend and resume of the consumer device.

However, in case a device link with DL_FLAG_PM_RUNTIME set is dropped
during the consumer device probe, so pm_runtime_get_suppliers() bumps
up the supplier's PM-runtime usage counter, but it cannot be dropped by
pm_runtime_put_suppliers(), make device_link_release_fn() take care of
that.

PM: runtime: Redefine pm_runtime_release_supplier()

2022-07-01T19:04:02+00:00

Instead of passing an extra bool argument to pm_runtime_release_supplier(),
make its callers take care of triggering a runtime-suspend of the
supplier device as needed.

No expected functional impact.

driver core: fw_devlink: Allow firmware to mark devices as best effort

2022-06-27T14:52:25+00:00

When firmware sets the FWNODE_FLAG_BEST_EFFORT flag for a fwnode,
fw_devlink will do a best effort ordering for that device where it'll
only enforce the probe/suspend/resume ordering of that device with
suppliers that have drivers. The driver of that device can then decide
if it wants to defer probe or probe without the suppliers.

This will be useful for avoid probe delays of the console device that
were caused by commit 71066545b48e ("driver core: Set
fw_devlink.strict=1 by default").

driver core: Introduce device_find_any_child() helper

driver core: Set fw_devlink.strict=1 by default

2022-06-10T13:57:54+00:00

Now that deferred_probe_timeout is non-zero by default, fw_devlink will
never permanently block the probing of devices. It'll try its best to
probe the devices in the right order and then finally let devices probe
even if their suppliers don't have any drivers.

driver core: Add wait_for_init_devices_probe helper function

2022-06-10T13:57:54+00:00

Some devices might need to be probed and bound successfully before the
kernel boot sequence can finish and move on to init/userspace. For
example, a network interface might need to be bound to be able to mount
a NFS rootfs.

With fw_devlink=on by default, some of these devices might be blocked
from probing because they are waiting on a optional supplier that
doesn't have a driver. While fw_devlink will eventually identify such
devices and unblock the probing automatically, it might be too late by
the time it unblocks the probing of devices. For example, the IP4
autoconfig might timeout before fw_devlink unblocks probing of the
network interface.

This function is available to temporarily try and probe all devices that
have a driver even if some of their suppliers haven't been added or
don't have drivers.

The drivers can then decide which of the suppliers are optional vs
mandatory and probe the device if possible. By the time this function
returns, all such "best effort" probes are guaranteed to be completed.
If a device successfully probes in this mode, we delete all fw_devlink
discovered dependencies of that device where the supplier hasn't yet
probed successfully because they have to be optional dependencies.

This also means that some devices that aren't needed for init and could
have waited for their optional supplier to probe (when the supplier's
module is loaded later on) would end up probing prematurely with limited
functionality.  So call this function only when boot would fail without
it.

Merge tag 'driver-core-5.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

2022-06-03T18:48:47+00:00

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the set of driver core changes for 5.19-rc1.

  Lots of tiny driver core changes and cleanups happened this cycle, but
  the two major things are:

   - firmware_loader reorganization and additions including the ability
     to have XZ compressed firmware images and the ability for userspace
     to initiate the firmware load when it needs to, instead of being
     always initiated by the kernel. FPGA devices specifically want this
     ability to have their firmware changed over the lifetime of the
     system boot, and this allows them to work without having to come up
     with yet-another-custom-uapi interface for loading firmware for
     them.

   - physical location support added to sysfs so that devices that know
     this information, can tell userspace where they are located in a
     common way. Some ACPI devices already support this today, and more
     bus types should support this in the future.

  Smaller changes include:

   - driver_override api cleanups and fixes

   - error path cleanups and fixes

   - get_abi script fixes

   - deferred probe timeout changes.

  It's that last change that I'm the most worried about. It has been
  reported to cause boot problems for a number of systems, and I have a
  tested patch series that resolves this issue. But I didn't get it
  merged into my tree before 5.18-final came out, so it has not gotten
  any linux-next testing.

  I'll send the fixup patches (there are 2) as a follow-on series to this
  pull request.

  All have been tested in linux-next for weeks, with no reported issues
  other than the above-mentioned boot time-outs"

Per Peter [1], the lockdep API has native support for all the use cases
lockdep_mutex was attempting to enable. Now that all lockdep_mutex users
have been converted to those APIs, drop this lock.

driver core: Add sysfs support for physical location of a device

2022-04-27T07:51:57+00:00

When ACPI table includes _PLD fields for a device, create a new
directory (physical_location) in sysfs to share _PLD fields.

Currently without PLD information, when there are multiple of same
devices, it is hard to distinguish which device corresponds to which
physical device at which location. For example, when there are two Type
C connectors, it is hard to find out which connector corresponds to the
Type C port on the left panel versus the Type C port on the right panel.
With PLD information provided, we can determine which specific device at
which location is doing what.

_PLD output includes much more fields, but only generic fields are added
and exposed to sysfs, so that non-ACPI devices can also support it in
the future. The minimal generic fields needed for locating a device are
the following.
- panel
- vertical_position
- horizontal_position
- dock
- lid
