For pinctrl the "default" state is applied to pins before the driver's
probe function is called. This is normally a sensible thing to do,
but in some cases can cause problems. That's because the pins will
change state before the driver is given a chance to program how those
pins should behave.
As an example you might have a regulator that is controlled by a PWM
(output high = high voltage, output low = low voltage). The firmware
might leave this pin as driven high. If we allow the driver core to
reconfigure this pin as a PWM pin before the PWM's probe function runs
then you might end up running at too low of a voltage while we probe.
Let's introudce a new "init" state. If this is defined we'll set
pinctrl to this state before probe and then "default" after probe
(unless the driver explicitly changed states already).
An alternative idea that was thought of was to use the pre-existing
"sleep" or "idle" states and add a boolean property that we should
start in that mode. This was not done because the "init" state is
needed for correctness and those other states are only present (and
only transitioned in to and out of) when (optional) power management
is enabled.
Changes in v3:
- Moved declarations to pinctrl/devinfo.h
- Fixed author/SoB
Changes in v2:
- Added comment to pinctrl_init_done() as per Linus W.

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.

If the parent is still suspended when driver probe is
attempted, the result may be failure.
For example, if the parent is a PCI MFD device that has been
suspended when we try to probe our device, any register
reads will return 0xffffffff.
To fix the problem, making sure the parent is always awake
before attempting driver probe.

Commit f2411da74698 ("driver-core: add driver module asynchronous probe

"struct module" is not defined and we can't dereference it. Let's define
module_requested_async_probing() helper and stub it out if modules are
disabled.

There are drivers that can not be probed asynchronously. One such group
is platform drivers registered with platform_driver_probe(), which
expects driver's probe routine be discarded after the driver has been
registered and initial binding attempt executed. Also
platform_driver_probe() an error when no devices were bound to the
driver, allowing failing to load such driver module altogether.
Other drivers do not work well with asynchronous probing because of
driver bug or not optimal driver organization.
To allow using such drivers even when user requests asynchronous probing
as default boot strategy, let's allow them to opt out.

Some init systems may wish to express the desire to have device drivers
run their probe() code asynchronously. This implements support for this
and allows userspace to request async probe as a preference through a
generic shared device driver module parameter, async_probe.
Implementation for async probe is supported through a module parameter
given that since synchronous probe has been prevalent for years some
userspace might exist which relies on the fact that the device driver
will probe synchronously and the assumption that devices it provides
will be immediately available after this.

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"

Currently probe deferral prints a message every time a device requests
deferral at info severity (which is displayed by default). This can have
an impact on system boot times with serial consoles and is generally quite
noisy.
Since subsystems and drivers should already be logging the specific reason
for probe deferral in order to aid users in understanding problems the
messages from the driver core should be redundant lower the severity of
the messages printed, cutting down on the volume of output on the console.
This does mean that if the drivers and subsystems aren't doing a good job
we get no output on the console by default. Ideally we'd be able to arrange
to print if nothing else printed, though that's a little fun. Even better
would be to come up with a mechanism that explicitly does dependencies so
we don't have to keep polling and erroring.

If PM domains are in use, it may be necessary to prepare the code
handling a PM domain for driver probing. For example, in some
cases device drivers rely on the ability to power on the devices
with the help of the IO runtime PM framework and the PM domain
code needs to be ready for that. Also, if that code has not been
fully initialized yet, the driver probing should be deferred.
Moreover, after the probing is complete, it may be necessary to
put the PM domain in question into the state reflecting the current
needs of the devices in it, for example, so that power is not drawn
in vain. The same should be done after removing a driver from
a device, as the PM domain state may need to be changed to reflect
the new situation.
For these reasons, introduce new PM domain callbacks, ->activate,
->sync and ->dismiss called, respectively, before probing for a
device driver, after the probing has completed successfully and
if the probing has failed or the driver has been removed.

There is no point in calling dev_get_drvdata without a valid device.
So checking for dev == NULL is pointless. If such a check is ever
needed - which I doubt - the driver should do it before calling
dev_get_drvdata.
We were returning NULL if dev was NULL, which the caller certainly did
not expect anyway, so that was only delaying the crash if the caller
is not paying attention.

When the kernel is built with CONFIG_PREEMPT it is possible to reach a state
when all modules loaded but some driver still stuck in the deferred list
and there is a need for external event to kick the deferred queue to probe
these drivers.
The issue has been observed on embedded systems with CONFIG_PREEMPT enabled,
audio support built as modules and using nfsroot for root filesystem.
The following log fragment shows such sequence when all audio modules
were loaded but the sound card is not present since the machine driver has
failed to probe due to missing dependency during it's probe.
The board is am335x-evmsk (McASP<->tlv320aic3106 codec) with davinci-evm
machine driver:
...
[ 12.615118] davinci-mcasp 4803c000.mcasp: davinci_mcasp_probe: ENTER

[ 13.377446] platform sound.3: Driver davinci_evm requests probe deferral
[ 13.592527] platform sound.3: really_probe: probe_count = 0
In the log the machine driver enters it's probe at 12.719969 (this point it
has been removed from the deferred lists). McASP driver already executing
it's probing (since 12.615118).
The machine driver tries to construct the sound card (12.950839) but did
not found one of the components so it fails. After this McASP driver
registers all the ASoC components (the machine driver still in it's probe
function after it failed to construct the card) and the deferred work is
prepared at 13.099026 (note that this time the machine driver is not in the
lists so it is not going to be handled when the work is executing).
Lastly the machine driver exit from it's probe and the core places it to
the deferred list but there will be no other driver going to load and the
deferred queue is not going to be kicked again - till we have external event
like connecting USB stick, etc.
The proposed solution is to try the deferred queue once more when the last
driver is asking for deferring and we had drivers loaded while this last
driver was probing.
This way we can avoid drivers stuck in the deferred queue.

Commit fa180eb448fa (PM / Runtime: Idle devices asynchronously after
probe|release) modified __device_release_driver() to call
pm_runtime_put(dev) instead of pm_runtime_put_sync(dev) before
detaching the driver from the device. However, that was a mistake,
because pm_runtime_put(dev) causes rpm_idle() to be queued up and
the driver may be gone already when that function is executed.
That breaks the assumptions the drivers have the right to make
about the core's behavior on the basis of the existing documentation
and actually causes problems to happen, so revert that part of
commit fa180eb448fa and restore the previous behavior of
__device_release_driver().

waiting for each device to become idle|suspended before the probe|release
is fully done.
This patch switch to use the asynchronous runtime PM API:s instead and
thus improves the parallelism since we can move on and handle the next
device in queue in an earlier phase.

One of the side effects of deferred probe is that some drivers which
used to be probed before initcalls completed are now happening slightly
later. This causes two problems.
- If a console driver gets deferred, then it may not be ready when
userspace starts. For example, if a uart depends on pinctrl, then the
uart will get deferred and /dev/console will not be available
- __init sections will be discarded before built-in drivers are probed.
Strictly speaking, __init functions should not be called in a drivers
__probe path, but there are a lot of drivers (console stuff again)
that do anyway. In the past it was perfectly safe to do so because all
built-in drivers got probed before the end of initcalls.
This patch fixes the problem by forcing the first pass of the deferred
list to complete at late_initcall time. This is late enough to catch the
drivers that are known to have the above issues.

This makes the device core auto-grab the pinctrl handle and set
the "default" (PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT) state for every device
that is present in the device model right before probe. This will
account for the lion's share of embedded silicon devcies.
A modification of the semantics for pinctrl_get() is also done:
previously if the pinctrl handle for a certain device was already
taken, the pinctrl core would return an error. Now, since the
core may have already default-grabbed the handle and set its
state to "default", if the handle was already taken, this will
be disregarded and the located, previously instanitated handle
will be returned to the caller.
This way all code in drivers explicitly requesting their pinctrl
handlers will still be functional, and drivers that want to
explicitly retrieve and switch their handles can still do that.
But if the desired functionality is just boilerplate of this
type in the probe() function:
struct pinctrl *p;
p = devm_pinctrl_get_select_default(&dev);
if (IS_ERR(p)) {
if (PTR_ERR(p) == -EPROBE_DEFER)
return -EPROBE_DEFER;
dev_warn(&dev, "no pinctrl handle\n");
}
The discussion began with the addition of such boilerplate
to the omap4 keypad driver:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-input&m=135091157719300&w=2
A previous approach using notifiers was discussed:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=135263661110528&w=2
This failed because it could not handle deferred probes.
This patch alone does not solve the entire dilemma faced:
whether code should be distributed into the drivers or
if it should be centralized to e.g. a PM domain. But it
solves the immediate issue of the addition of boilerplate
to a lot of drivers that just want to grab the default
state. As mentioned, they can later explicitly retrieve
the handle and set different states, and this could as
well be done by e.g. PM domains as it is only related
to a certain struct device * pointer.
ChangeLog v4->v5 (Stephen):
- Simplified the devicecore grab code.
- Deleted a piece of documentation recommending that pins
be mapped to a device rather than hogged.
ChangeLog v3->v4 (Linus):
- Drop overzealous NULL checks.
- Move kref initialization to pinctrl_create().
- Seeking Tested-by from Stephen Warren so we do not disturb
the Tegra platform.
- Seeking ACK on this from Greg (and others who like it) so I
can merge it through the pinctrl subsystem.
ChangeLog v2->v3 (Linus):
- Abstain from using IS_ERR_OR_NULL() in the driver core,
Russell recently sent a patch to remove it. Handle the
NULL case explicitly even though it's a bogus case.
- Make sure we handle probe deferral correctly in the device
core file. devm_kfree() the container on error so we don't
waste memory for devices without pinctrl handles.
- Introduce reference counting into the pinctrl core using
<linux/kref.h> so that we don't release pinctrl handles
that have been obtained for two or more places.
ChangeLog v1->v2 (Linus):
- Only store a pointer in the device struct, and only allocate
this if it's really used by the device.

The pm_runtime_get_noresume() calls before really_probe() and
before executing __device_attach() for each driver on the
device's bus cause problems to happen if probing fails and if the
driver has enabled runtime PM for the device in its .probe()
callback. Namely, in that case, if the device has been resumed
by the driver after enabling its runtime PM and if it turns out that
.probe() should return an error, the driver is supposed to suspend
the device and disable its runtime PM before exiting .probe().
However, because the device's runtime PM usage counter was
incremented by the core before calling .probe(), the driver's attempt
to suspend the device will not succeed and the device will remain in
the full-power state after the failing .probe() has returned.
To fix this issue, remove the pm_runtime_get_noresume() calls from
driver_probe_device() and from device_attach() and replace the
corresponding pm_runtime_put_sync() calls with pm_runtime_idle()
to preserve the existing behavior (which is to check if the device
is idle and to suspend it eventually in that case after probing).

When deferred probe was originally added the idea was that devices which
defer their probes would move themselves to the end of dpm_list in order
to try to keep the assumptions that we're making about the list being in
roughly the order things should be suspended correct. However this hasn't
been what's been happening and doing it requires a lot of duplicated code
to do the moves.
Instead take a simple, brute force solution and have the deferred probe
code push devices to the end of dpm_list before it retries the probe. This
does mean we lock the dpm_list a bit more often but it's very simple and
the code shouldn't be a fast path. We do the move with the deferred mutex
dropped since doing things with fewer locks held simultaneously seems like
a good idea.
This approach was most recently suggested by Grant Likely.

1) drvdata is for a driver to store a pointer to driver specific data
2) If no driver is bound, there is no driver specific data associated with
the device
3) Thus logically drvdata should be NULL if no driver is bound.
But many drivers don't clear drvdata on device_release, or set drvdata
early on in probe and leave it set on probe error. Both of which results
in a dangling pointer in drvdata.
This patch enforce for drvdata to be NULL after device_release or on probe
failure.

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.

The driver core tries to prevent race conditions between runtime PM
and driver removal from happening by incrementing the runtime PM
usage counter of the device and executing pm_runtime_barrier() before
running the bus notifier and the ->remove() callbacks provided by the
device's subsystem or driver. This guarantees that, if a future
runtime suspend of the device has been scheduled or a runtime resume
or idle request has been queued up right before the driver removal,
it will be canceled or waited for to complete and no other
asynchronous runtime suspend or idle requests for the device will be
put into the PM workqueue until the ->remove() callback returns.
However, it doesn't prevent resume requests from being queued up
after pm_runtime_barrier() has been called and it doesn't prevent
pm_runtime_resume() from executing the device subsystem's runtime
resume callback. Morever, it prevents the device's subsystem or
driver from putting the device into the suspended state by calling
pm_runtime_suspend() from its ->remove() routine. This turns out to
be a major inconvenience for some subsystems and drivers that want to
leave the devices they handle in the suspended state.
To really prevent runtime PM callbacks from racing with the bus
notifier callback in __device_release_driver(), which is necessary,
because the notifier is used by some subsystems to carry out
operations affecting the runtime PM functionality, use
pm_runtime_get_sync() instead of the combination of
pm_runtime_get_noresume() and pm_runtime_barrier(). This will resume
the device if it's in the suspended state and will prevent it from
being suspended again until pm_runtime_put_*() is called.
To allow subsystems and drivers to put devices into the suspended
state by calling pm_runtime_suspend() from their ->remove() routines,
execute pm_runtime_put_sync() after running the bus notifier in
__device_release_driver(). This will require subsystems and drivers
to make their ->remove() callbacks avoid races with runtime PM
directly, but it will allow of more flexibility in the handling of
devices during the removal of their drivers.

When a device is registered to a bus it will be a) added to the list
of devices of the bus and b) bind to a driver (if one matches). As a
result of a driver being registered at this bus between a) and b) this
device could already be bound to a driver. This leads to a warning
and incorrect refcounting.

Add BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER as a bus notifier event.
For driver binding/unbinding we with this in
place have the following bus notifier events:
- BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER - before ->probe()
- BUS_NOTIFY_BOUND_DRIVER - after ->probe()
- BUS_NOTIFY_UNBIND_DRIVER - before ->remove()
- BUS_NOTIFY_UNBOUND_DRIVER - after ->remove()
The event BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER allows bus code
to be notified that ->probe() is about to be called.
Useful for bus code that needs to setup hardware before
the driver gets to run. With this in place platform
drivers can be loaded and unloaded as modules and the
new BIND event allows bus code to control for instance
device clocks that must be enabled before the driver
can be executed.
Without this patch there is no way for the bus code to
get notified that a modular driver is about to be probed.

In the future, we are going to be changing the lock type for struct
device (once we get the lockdep infrastructure properly worked out) To
make that changeover easier, and to possibly burry the lock in a
different part of struct device, let's create some functions to lock and
unlock a device so that no out-of-core code needs to be changed in the
future.
This patch creates the device_lock/unlock/trylock() functions, and
converts all in-tree users to them.

There is currently only one way for userspace to say "wait for my storage
device to get ready for the modules I just loaded": to load the
scsi_wait_scan module. Expectations of userspace are that once this
module is loaded, all the (storage) devices for which the drivers
were loaded before the module load are present.
Now, there are some issues with the implementation, and the async
stuff got caught in the middle of this: The existing code only
waits for the scsy async probing to finish, but it did not take
into account at all that probing might not have begun yet.
(Russell ran into this problem on his computer and the fix works for him)
This patch fixes this more thoroughly than the previous "fix", which
had some bad side effects (namely, for kernel code that wanted to wait for
the scsi scan it would also do an async sync, which would deadlock if you did
it from async context already.. there's a report about that on lkml):
The patch makes the module first wait for all device driver probes, and then it
will wait for the scsi parallel scan to finish.
