<content type='text'>
Currently, the driver's device private data is allocated and initialized
from driver core code called from bus abstractions after the driver's
probe() callback returned the corresponding initializer.

Similarly, the driver's device private data is dropped within the
remove() callback of bus abstractions after calling the remove()
callback of the corresponding driver.

However, commit 6f61a2637abe ("rust: device: introduce
Device::drvdata()") introduced an accessor for the driver's device
private data for a Device&lt;Bound&gt;, i.e. a device that is currently bound
to a driver.

Obviously, this is in conflict with dropping the driver's device private
data in remove(), since a device can not be considered to be fully
unbound after remove() has finished:

We also have to consider registrations guarded by devres - such as IRQ
or class device registrations - which are torn down after remove() in
devres_release_all().

Thus, it can happen that, for instance, a class device or IRQ callback
still calls Device::drvdata(), which then runs concurrently to remove()
(which sets dev-&gt;driver_data to NULL and drops the driver's device
private data), before devres_release_all() started to tear down the
corresponding registration. This is because devres guarded registrations
can, as expected, access the corresponding Device&lt;Bound&gt; that defines
their scope.

In C it simply is the driver's responsibility to ensure that its device
private data is freed after e.g. an IRQ registration is unregistered.

Typically, C drivers achieve this by allocating their device private data
with e.g. devm_kzalloc() before doing anything else, i.e. before e.g.
registering an IRQ with devm_request_threaded_irq(), relying on the
reverse order cleanup of devres.

Technically, we could do something similar in Rust. However, the
resulting code would be pretty messy:

In Rust we have to differentiate between allocated but uninitialized
memory and initialized memory in the type system. Thus, we would need to
somehow keep track of whether the driver's device private data object
has been initialized (i.e. probe() was successful and returned a valid
initializer for this memory) and conditionally call the destructor of
the corresponding object when it is freed.

This is because we'd need to allocate and register the memory of the
driver's device private data *before* it is initialized by the
initializer returned by the driver's probe() callback, because the
driver could already register devres guarded registrations within
probe() outside of the driver's device private data initializer.

Luckily there is a much simpler solution: Instead of dropping the
driver's device private data at the end of remove(), we just drop it
after the device has been fully unbound, i.e. after all devres callbacks
have been processed.

For this, we introduce a new post_unbind() callback private to the
driver-core, i.e. the callback is neither exposed to drivers, nor to bus
abstractions.

This way, the driver-core code can simply continue to conditionally
allocate the memory for the driver's device private data when the
driver's initializer is returned from probe() - no change needed - and
drop it when the driver-core code receives the post_unbind() callback.

<title>driver core: Check drivers_autoprobe for all added devices</title>

When a device is hot-plugged, the drivers_autoprobe sysfs attribute is
not checked (at least for PCI devices). This means that
drivers_autoprobe is not working as intended, e.g. hot-plugged PCI
devices will still be autoprobed and bound to drivers even with
drivers_autoprobe disabled.

The problem likely started when device_add() was removed from
pci_bus_add_device() in commit 4f535093cf8f ("PCI: Put pci_dev in device
tree as early as possible") which means that the check for
drivers_autoprobe which used to happen in bus_probe_device() is no
longer present (previously bus_add_device() calls bus_probe_device()).
Conveniently, in commit 91703041697c ("PCI: Allow built-in drivers to
use async initial probing") device_attach() was replaced with
device_initial_probe() which faciliates this change to push the check
for drivers_autoprobe into device_initial_probe().

Make sure all devices check drivers_autoprobe by pushing the
drivers_autoprobe check into device_initial_probe(). This will only
affect devices on the PCI bus for now as device_initial_probe() is only
called by pci_bus_add_device() and bus_probe_device(), but
bus_probe_device() already checks for autoprobe, so callers of
bus_probe_device() should not observe changes on autoprobing.
Note also that pushing this check into device_initial_probe() rather
than device_attach() makes it only affect automatic probing of
drivers (e.g. when a device is hot-plugged), userspace can still choose
to manually bind a driver by writing to drivers_probe sysfs attribute,
even with autoprobe disabled.

Any future callers of device_initial_probe() will respect the
drivers_autoprobe sysfs attribute, which is the intended purpose of
drivers_autoprobe.

Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.

This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.

This continues the effort to refactor workqueue APIs, which began with
the introduction of new workqueues and a new alloc_workqueue flag in:

commit 128ea9f6ccfb ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq")
commit 930c2ea566af ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag")

Switch to using system_dfl_wq because system_unbound_wq is going away as part of
a workqueue restructuring.

<title>PM: domains: Detach on device_unbind_cleanup()</title>

The dev_pm_domain_attach() function is typically used in bus code
alongside dev_pm_domain_detach(), often following patterns like:

static int bus_probe(struct device *_dev)
{
    struct bus_driver *drv = to_bus_driver(dev-&gt;driver);
    struct bus_device *dev = to_bus_device(_dev);
    int ret;

    // ...

    ret = dev_pm_domain_attach(_dev, true);
    if (ret)
        return ret;

    if (drv-&gt;probe)
        ret = drv-&gt;probe(dev);

    // ...
}

static void bus_remove(struct device *_dev)
{
    struct bus_driver *drv = to_bus_driver(dev-&gt;driver);
    struct bus_device *dev = to_bus_device(_dev);

    if (drv-&gt;remove)
        drv-&gt;remove(dev);
    dev_pm_domain_detach(_dev);
}

When the driver's probe function uses devres-managed resources that
depend on the power domain state, those resources are released later
during device_unbind_cleanup().

Releasing devres-managed resources that depend on the power domain state
after detaching the device from its PM domain can cause failures.

For example, if the driver uses devm_pm_runtime_enable() in its probe
function, and the device's clocks are managed by the PM domain, then
during removal the runtime PM is disabled in device_unbind_cleanup()
after the clocks have been removed from the PM domain. It may happen
that the devm_pm_runtime_enable() action causes the device to be runtime-
resumed. If the driver specific runtime PM APIs access registers directly,
this will lead to accessing device registers without clocks being enabled.
Similar issues may occur with other devres actions that access device
registers.

Add detach_power_off member to struct dev_pm_info, to be used
later in device_unbind_cleanup() as the power_off argument for
dev_pm_domain_detach(). This is a preparatory step toward removing
dev_pm_domain_detach() calls from bus remove functions. Since the current
PM domain detach functions (genpd_dev_pm_detach() and acpi_dev_pm_detach())
already set dev-&gt;pm_domain = NULL, there should be no issues with bus
drivers that still call dev_pm_domain_detach() in their remove functions.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is a small set of patches for the driver core code for 6.12-rc1.

  This set is the one that caused the most delay on my side, due to lots
  of last-minute reports of problems in the async shutdown feature that
  was added. In the end, I've reverted all of the patches in that series
  so we are back to "normal" and the patch set is being reworked for the
  next merge window.

  Other than the async shutdown patches that were reverted, included in
  here are:

   - minor driver core cleanups

   - minor driver core bus and class api cleanups and simplifications
     for some callbacks

   - some const markings of structures

   - other even more minor cleanups

  All of these, including the last minute reverts, have been in
  linux-next, but all of the reports of problems in linux-next were
  before the reverts happened. After the reverts, all is good"

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is a small set of patches for the driver core code for 6.12-rc1.

  This set is the one that caused the most delay on my side, due to lots
  of last-minute reports of problems in the async shutdown feature that
  was added. In the end, I've reverted all of the patches in that series
  so we are back to "normal" and the patch set is being reworked for the
  next merge window.

  Other than the async shutdown patches that were reverted, included in
  here are:

   - minor driver core cleanups

   - minor driver core bus and class api cleanups and simplifications
     for some callbacks

   - some const markings of structures

   - other even more minor cleanups

  All of these, including the last minute reverts, have been in
  linux-next, but all of the reports of problems in linux-next were
  before the reverts happened. After the reverts, all is good"

Trivially simplify ((struct device_private *)curr)-&gt;device-&gt;p to @curr
in deferred_devs_show() since both are same.

<title>platform: Add test managed platform_device/driver APIs</title>

Introduce KUnit resource wrappers around platform_driver_register(),
platform_device_alloc(), and platform_device_add() so that test authors
can register platform drivers/devices from their tests and have the
drivers/devices automatically be unregistered when the test is done.

This makes test setup code simpler when a platform driver or platform
device is needed. Add a few test cases at the same time to make sure the
APIs work as intended.

Change device_driver_attach() and driver_attach() to take a const * to
struct device driver as neither of them modify the structure at all.

Also, for some odd reason, drivers/dma/idxd/compat.c had a duplicate
external reference to device_driver_attach(), so remove that to fix up
the build, it should never have had that there in the first place.

<title>driver core: mark async_driver as a const *</title>

Within struct device_private, mark the async_driver * as const as it is
never modified.  This requires some internal-to-the-driver-core
functions to also have their parameters marked as constant, and there is
one place where we cast _back_ from the const pointer to a real one, as
the driver core still wants to modify the structure in a number of
remaining places.
