2012-11-14driver core / PM: move the calling to device_pm_remove behind the calling to ↵LongX Zhang
bus_remove_device We hit an hang issue when removing a mmc device on Medfield Android phone by sysfs interface. device_pm_remove will call pm_runtime_remove which would disable runtime PM of the device. After that pm_runtime_get* or pm_runtime_put* will be ignored. So if we disable the runtime PM before device really be removed, drivers' _remove callback may access HW even pm_runtime_get* fails. That is bad. Consider below call sequence when removing a device: device_del => device_pm_remove => class_intf->remove_dev(dev, class_intf) => pm_runtime_get_sync/put_sync => bus_remove_device => device_release_driver => pm_runtime_get_sync/put_sync remove_dev might call pm_runtime_get_sync/put_sync. Then, generic device_release_driver also calls pm_runtime_get_sync/put_sync. Since device_del => device_pm_remove firstly, later _get_sync wouldn't really wake up the device. I git log -p to find the patch which moves the calling to device_pm_remove ahead. It's below patch: commit 775b64d2b6ca37697de925f70799c710aab5849a Author: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> Date: Sat Jan 12 20:40:46 2008 +0100 PM: Acquire device locks on suspend This patch reorganizes the way suspend and resume notifications are sent to drivers. The major changes are that now the PM core acquires every device semaphore before calling the methods, and calls to device_add() during suspends will fail, while calls to device_del() during suspends will block. It also provides a way to safely remove a suspended device with the help of the PM core, by using the device_pm_schedule_removal() callback introduced specifically for this purpose, and updates two drivers (msr and cpuid) that need to use it. As device_pm_schedule_removal is deleted by another patch, we need also revert other parts of the patch, i.e. move the calling of device_pm_remove after the calling to bus_remove_device.

commit c4e00daaa96d3a0786f1f4fe6456281c60ef9a16 changed __dev_printk in a way that broke dynamic-debug's ability to control the dynamic prefix of dev_dbg(dev,..), but not dev_dbg(NULL,..) or pr_debug(..), which is why it wasnt noticed sooner. When dev==NULL, __dev_printk() just calls printk(), which just works. But otherwise, it assumed that level was always a string like "<L>" and just plucked out the 'L', ignoring the rest. However, dynamic_emit_prefix() adds "[tid] module:func:line:" to the string, those additions all got lost.

2012-03-08drivercore: Add driver probe deferral mechanismGrant Likely
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.

2012-02-01drivercore: Output common devicetree information in ueventGrant Likely
When userspace needs to find a specific device, it currently isn't easy to resolve a /sys/devices/ path from a specific device tree node. Nor is it easy to obtain the compatible list for devices. This patch generalizes the code that inserts OF_* values into the uevent device attribute so that any device that is attached to an OF node will have that information exported to userspace. Without this patch only platform devices and some powerpc-specific busses have access to this data. The original function also creates a MODALIAS property for the compatible list, but that code has not been generalized into the common case because it has the potential to break module loading on a lot of bus types. Bus types are still responsible for their own MODALIAS properties. Boot tested on ARM and compile tested on PowerPC and SPARC.

2011-12-14driver-core: implement 'sysdev' functionality for regular devices and busesKay Sievers
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.

2011-12-07PM / Driver core: leave runtime PM enabled during system shutdownAlan Stern
Disabling all runtime PM during system shutdown turns out not to be a good idea, because some devices may need to be woken up from a low-power state at that time. The whole point of disabling runtime PM for system shutdown was to prevent untimely runtime-suspend method calls. This patch (as1504) accomplishes the same result by incrementing the usage count for each device and waiting for ongoing runtime-PM callbacks to finish. This is what we already do during system suspend and hibernation, which makes sense since the shutdown method is pretty much a legacy analog of the pm->poweroff method. This fixes a recent regression on some OMAP systems introduced by commit af8db1508f2c9f3b6e633e2d2d906c6557c617f9 (PM / driver core: disable device's runtime PM during shutdown).

There may be an issue when the user issue "reboot/shutdown" command, then the device has shut down its hardware, after that, this runtime-pm featured device's driver will probably be scheduled to do its suspend routine, and at its suspend routine, it may access hardware, but the device has already shutdown physically, then the system hang may be occurred. I ran out this issue using an auto-suspend supported USB devices, like 3G modem, keyboard. The usb runtime suspend routine may be scheduled after the usb controller has been shut down, and the usb runtime suspend routine will try to suspend its roothub(controller), it will access register, then the system hang occurs as the controller is shutdown.

2010-10-22SYSFS: Allow boot time switching between deprecated and modern sysfs layoutAndi Kleen
I have some systems which need legacy sysfs due to old tools that are making assumptions that a directory can never be a symlink to another directory, and it's a big hazzle to compile separate kernels for them. This patch turns CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED into a run time option that can be switched on/off the kernel command line. This way the same binary can be used in both cases with just a option on the command line. The old CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 option is still there to set the default. I kept the weird name to not break existing config files. Also the compat code can be still completely disabled by undefining CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_SWITCH -- just the optimizer takes care of this now instead of lots of ifdefs. This makes the code look nicer. v2: This is an updated version on top of Kay's patch to only handle the block devices. I tested it on my old systems and that seems to work.

2010-10-22driver core: remove CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 but keep it for block devicesKay Sievers
This patch removes the old CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 config option, but it keeps the logic around to handle block devices in the old manner as some people like to run new kernel versions on old (pre 2007/2008) distros.

2010-07-26Driver-core: Always create class directories for classses that support ↵Eric W. Biederman
namespaces. This fixes the regression in 2.6.35-rcX where bluetooth network devices would fail to be deleted from sysfs, causing their destruction and recreation to fail. In addition this fixes the mac80211_hwsim driver where it would leave around sysfs files when the driver was removed. This problem is discussed at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16257 The reason for the regression is that the network namespace support added to sysfs expects and requires that network devices be put in directories that can contain only network devices. Today get_device_parent almost provides that guarantee for all class devices, except for a specific exception when the parent of a class devices is a class device. It would be nice to simply remove that arguably incorrect special case, but apparently the input devices depend on it being there. So I have only removed it for class devices with network namespace support. Which today are the network devices. It has been suggested that a better fix would be to change the parent device from a class device to a bus device, which in the case of the bluetooth driver would change /sys/class/bluetooth to /sys/bus/bluetoth, I can not see how we would avoid significant userspace breakage if we were to make that change. Adding an extra directory in the path to the device will also be userspace visible but it is much less likely to break things. Everything is still accessible from /sys/class (for example), and it fixes two bugs. Adding an extra directory fixes a 3 year old regression introduced with the new sysfs layout that makes it impossible to rename bnep0 network devices to names that conflict with hci device attributes like hci_revsion. Adding an additional directory removes the new failure modes introduced by the network namespace code. If it weren't for the regession in the renaming of network devices I would figure out how to just make the sysfs code deal with this configuration of devices. In summary this patch fixes regressions by changing: "/sys/class/bluetooth/hci0/bnep0" to "/sys/class/bluetooth/hci0/net/bnep0".
