driver core: Don't probe devices after bus_type.match() probe deferral

2022-09-15T10:39:46+00:00

commit 25e9fbf0fd38868a429feabc38abebfc6dbf6542 upstream.

Both __device_attach_driver() and __driver_attach() check the return
code of the bus_type.match() function to see if the device needs to be
added to the deferred probe list. After adding the device to the list,
the logic attempts to bind the device to the driver anyway, as if the
device had matched with the driver, which is not correct.

If __device_attach_driver() detects that the device in question is not
ready to match with a driver on the bus, then it doesn't make sense for
the device to attempt to bind with the current driver or continue
attempting to match with any of the other drivers on the bus. So, update
the logic in __device_attach_driver() to reflect this.

If __driver_attach() detects that a driver tried to match with a device
that is not ready to match yet, then the driver should not attempt to bind
with the device. However, the driver can still attempt to match and bind
with other devices on the bus, as drivers can be bound to multiple
devices. So, update the logic in __driver_attach() to reflect this.

driver core: Fix probe_count imbalance in really_probe()

2020-10-14T07:48:15+00:00

commit b292b50b0efcc7095d8bf15505fba6909bb35dce upstream.

syzbot is reporting hung task in wait_for_device_probe() [1]. At least,
we always need to decrement probe_count if we incremented probe_count in
really_probe().

However, since I can't find "Resources present before probing" message in
the console log, both "this message simply flowed off" and "syzbot is not
hitting this path" will be possible. Therefore, while we are at it, let's
also prepare for concurrent wait_for_device_probe() calls by replacing
wake_up() with wake_up_all().

driver core: Print device when resources present in really_probe()

2020-02-28T14:42:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7c35e699c88bd60734277b26962783c60e04b494 ]

If a device already has devres items attached before probing, a warning
backtrace is printed.  However, this backtrace does not reveal the
offending device, leaving the user uninformed.  Furthermore, using
WARN_ON() causes systems with panic-on-warn to reboot.

Fix this by replacing the WARN_ON() by a dev_crit() message.
Abort probing the device, to prevent doing more damage to the device's
resources.

driver core: Partially revert "driver core: correct device's shutdown order"

2018-07-28T05:49:13+00:00

commit 722e5f2b1eec7de61117b7c0a7914761e3da2eda upstream.

Commit 52cdbdd49853 (driver core: correct device's shutdown order)
introduced a regression by breaking device shutdown on some systems.

Namely, the devices_kset_move_last() call in really_probe() added by
that commit is a mistake as it may cause parents to follow children
in the devices_kset list which then causes shutdown to fail.  For
example, if a device has children before really_probe() is called
for it (which is not uncommon), that call will cause it to be
reordered after the children in the devices_kset list and the
ordering of that list will not reflect the correct device shutdown
order any more.

Also it causes the devices_kset list to be constantly reordered
until all drivers have been probed which is totally pointless
overhead in the majority of cases and it only covered an issue
with system shutdown, while system-wide suspend/resume potentially
had the same issue on the affected platforms (which was not covered).

Moreover, the shutdown issue originally addressed by the change in
really_probe() made by commit 52cdbdd49853 is not present in 4.18-rc
any more, since dra7 started to use the sdhci-omap driver which
doesn't disable any regulators during shutdown, so the really_probe()
part of commit 52cdbdd49853 can be safely reverted.  [The original
issue was related to the omap_hsmmc driver used by dra7 previously.]

For the above reasons, revert the really_probe() modifications made
by commit 52cdbdd49853.

The other code changes made by commit 52cdbdd49853 are useful and
they need not be reverted.

driver core: fix smatch warning on dev->bus check

2016-10-31T15:15:22+00:00

Commit d42a09802174 (driver core: skip removal test for non-removable
drivers) introduced a smatch warning:

drivers/base/dd.c:386 really_probe()
         warn: variable dereferenced before check 'dev->bus' (see line 373)

Fix the warning by removing the dev->bus NULL check. dev->bus will never
be NULL, so the check was unnecessary.

driver core: skip removal test for non-removable drivers

2016-10-31T15:15:22+00:00

Some drivers do not support removal/unbinding. These drivers should have
drv->suppress_bind_attrs set to true, so use that to skip the removal
test.

This doesn't fix anything reported so far, but should prevent some other
cases. Some drivers will need fixes to set suppress_bind_attrs to avoid
this test.

device core: Remove deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue

2016-09-02T13:08:02+00:00

The workqueue "deferred_wq" queues a single work item
&deferred_probe_work and hence doesn't require ordering.
It is involved in probing devices and is not being used on a memory
reclaim path. Hence, it has been converted to use system_wq.

System workqueues have been able to handle high level of concurrency
for a long time now and hence it's not required to have a singlethreaded
workqueue just to gain concurrency. Unlike a dedicated per-cpu workqueue
created with create_singlethread_workqueue(), system_wq allows multiple
work items to overlap executions even on the same CPU; however, a
per-cpu workqueue doesn't have any CPU locality or global ordering
guarantee unless the target CPU is explicitly specified and thus the
increase of local concurrency shouldn't make any difference.

The work item has been flushed in driver_probe_done() to ensure that
there are no pending tasks while disconnecting the driver.

driver core: add test of driver remove calls during probe

2016-08-31T13:13:55+00:00

In recent discussions on ksummit-discuss[1], it was suggested to do a
sequence of probe, remove, probe for testing driver remove paths. This
adds a kconfig option for said test.

ARM: 8524/1: driver cohandle -EPROBE_DEFER from bus_type.match()

2016-02-16T16:28:51+00:00

Allow implementations of the match() callback in struct bus_type to
return errors and if it's -EPROBE_DEFER then queue the device for
deferred probing.

This is useful to buses such as AMBA in which devices are registered
before their matching information can be retrieved from the HW
(typically because a clock driver hasn't probed yet).

If device_is_bound() is called on a device that's not been registered
yet, it will attepmt to dereference dev->p which is NULL, so avoid
that by checking dev->p in there against NULL.
