This patch fixes another compiling warning with PM_SLEEP unset:
drivers/base/firmware_class.c:221:29: warning: 'fw_lookup_buf' defined
but not used [-Wunused-function]
This time I do build kernel with both PM_SLEEP set and unset, and no
warning found any more with the patch.

fw_priv->buf is accessed in both request_firmware_load() and
writing to sysfs file of 'loading' context, but not protected
by 'fw_lock' entirely. The patch makes sure that access on
'fw_priv->buf' is protected by the lock.
So fixes the double abort problem reported by nirinA raseliarison:

Generally there are only two drivers which don't need uevent to
handle firmware loading, so don't cache these firmwares during
suspend for these drivers since doing that may block firmware
loading forever.
Both the two drivers are involved in private firmware images, so
they don't hit in direct loading too.

When a system goes to reboot/shutdown, it tries to disable the
usermode helper via usermodehelper_disable(). This might be blocked
when a driver tries to load a firmware beforehand and it's stuck by
some reason. For example, dell_rbu driver loads the firmware in
non-hotplug mode and waits for user-space clearing the loading sysfs
flag. If user-space doesn't clear the flag, it waits forever, thus
blocks the reboot, too.
As a workaround, in this patch, the firmware class driver registers a
reboot notifier so that it can abort all pending f/w bufs before
issuing usermodehelper_disable().

Since 3.7 kernel, the firmware loader can read the firmware files
directly, and the traditional user-mode helper is invoked only as a
fallback. This seems working pretty well, and the next step would be
to reduce the redundant user-mode helper stuff in future.
This patch is a preparation for that: refactor the code for splitting
user-mode helper stuff more easily. No functional change.

There is one race that both request_firmware() with the same
firmware name.
The race scenerio is as below:
CPU1 CPU2
request_firmware() -->
_request_firmware_load() return err another request_firmware() is coming -->
_request_firmware_cleanup is called --> _request_firmware_prepare -->
release_firmware ---> fw_lookup_and_allocate_buf -->
spin_lock(&fwc->lock)
... __fw_lookup_buf() return true
fw_free_buf() will be called --> ...
kref_put -->
decrease the refcount to 0
kref_get(&tmp->ref) ==> it will trigger warning
due to refcount == 0
__fw_free_buf() -->
... spin_unlock(&fwc->lock)
spin_lock(&fwc->lock)
list_del(&buf->list)
spin_unlock(&fwc->lock)
kfree(buf)
After that, the freed buf will be used.
The key race is decreasing refcount to 0 and list_del is not protected together by
fwc->lock, and it is possible another thread try to get it between refcount==0
and list_del.
Fix it here to protect it together.

There is a race as below when calling request_firmware():
CPU1 CPU2
write 0 > loading
mutex_lock(&fw_lock)
...
set_bit FW_STATUS_DONE class_timeout is coming
set_bit FW_STATUS_ABORT
complete_all &completion
...
mutex_unlock(&fw_lock)
In this time, the bit FW_STATUS_DONE and FW_STATUS_ABORT are set,
and request_firmware() will return failure due to condition in
_request_firmware_load():
if (!buf->size || test_bit(FW_STATUS_ABORT, &buf->status))
retval = -ENOENT;
But from the above scenerio, it should be a successful requesting.
So we need judge if the bit FW_STATUS_DONE is already set before
calling fw_load_abort() in timeout function.
As Ming's proposal, we need change the timer into sched_work to
benefit from using &fw_lock mutex also.

Firstly 'firmware_buf' is introduced to make all loading requests
to share one firmware kernel buffer, so firmware_buf should
be used in direct loading for saving memory and speedup firmware
loading.
Secondly, the commit below
abb139e75c2cdbb955e840d6331cb5863e409d0e(firmware:teach
the kernel to load firmware files directly from the filesystem)
introduces direct loading for fixing udev regression, but it
bypasses the firmware cache meachnism, so this patch enables
caching firmware for direct loading case since it is still needed
to solve drivers' dependency during system resume.

Under 'Opportunistic sleep' situation, system sleep might be
triggered very frequently, so the uncahce work may not be completed
before caching firmware during next suspend.
This patch cancels the uncache work before caching firmware to
fix the problem above.
Also this patch optimizes the cacheing firmware mechanism a bit by
only storing one firmware cache entry for one firmware image.
So if the firmware is still cached during suspend, it doesn't need
to be loaded from user space any more.

Fengguang correctly points out that the firmware reading should not use
vfs_read(), since the buffer is in kernel space.
The vfs_read() just happened to work for kernel threads, but sparse
warns about the incorrect address spaces, and it's definitely incorrect
and could fail for other users of the firmware loading.

This is a first step in allowing people to by-pass udev for loading
device firmware. Current versions of udev will deadlock (causing us to
block for the 30 second timeout) under some circumstances if the
firmware is loaded as part of the module initialization path, and this
is causing problems for media drivers in particular.
The current patch hardcodes the firmware path that udev uses by default,
and will fall back to the legacy udev mode if the firmware cannot be
found there. We'd like to add support for both configuring the paths
and the fallback behaviour, but in the meantime this hopefully fixes the
immediate problem, while also giving us a way forward.

After starting caching firmware, there is still some time left
before devices are suspended, during the period, request_firmware
or its nowait version may still be triggered by the below situations
to load firmware images which can't be cached during suspend/resume
cycle.
- new devices added
- driver bind
- or device open kind of things
This patch utilizes the piggyback trick to cache firmware for
this kind of situation: just increase the firmware buf's reference
count and add the fw name entry into cache entry list after starting
caching firmware and before syscore_suspend() is called.

This patch introduces the three helpers below:
void device_cache_fw_images(void)
void device_uncache_fw_images(void)
void device_uncache_fw_images_delay(unsigned long)
so we can use device_cache_fw_images() to cache firmware for
all devices which need firmware to work, and the device driver
can get the firmware easily from kernel memory when system isn't
ready for completing requests of loading firmware.
After system is ready for completing firmware loading, driver core
will call device_uncache_fw_images() or its delay version to free
the cached firmware.
The above helpers will be used to cache device firmware during
system suspend/resume cycle in the following patches.

This patch always let firmware_buf own the pages buffer allocated
inside firmware_data_write, and add all instances of firmware_buf
into the firmware cache global list. Also introduce one private field
in 'struct firmware', so release_firmware will see the instance of
firmware_buf associated with the current firmware instance, then just
'free' the instance of firmware_buf.
The firmware_buf instance represents one pages buffer for one
firmware image, so lots of firmware loading requests can share
the same firmware_buf instance if they request the same firmware
image file.
This patch will make implementation of the following cache_firmware/
uncache_firmware very easy and simple.
In fact, the patch improves request_formware/release_firmware:
- only request userspace to write firmware image once if
several devices share one same firmware image and its drivers
call request_firmware concurrently.

This patch fixes two races in loading firmware:
1, FW_STATUS_DONE should be set before waking up the task waitting
on _request_firmware_load, otherwise FW_STATUS_ABORT may be
thought as DONE mistakenly.
2, Inside _request_firmware_load(), there is a small window between
wait_for_completion() and mutex_lock(&fw_lock), and 'echo 1 > loading'
still may happen during the period, so this patch checks FW_STATUS_DONE
to prevent pages' buffer completed from being freed in firmware_loading_store.

Oddly enough a work_struct was already part of the firmware_work
structure but nobody was using it. Instead of creating a new
kthread for each request_firmware_nowait() call just schedule the
work on the system workqueue. This should avoid some overhead
in forking new threads when they're not strictly necessary.
