cxl: Fix lockdep warning while creating afu_err_buff attribute

2015-09-23T10:57:13+00:00

Presently a lockdep warning is reported during creation of afu_err_buff
bin_attribute for the afu. This is caused due to the variable attr.key
not pointing to a static class key, hence the function lockdep_init_map
reports this warning:

 BUG: key  not in .data!

The patch fixes this issue by calling sysfs_attr_init on the
attr_eb.attr structure before populating it with the afu_err_buff file
details. This will populate the attr.key variable with a static class
key so that lockdep_init_map stops complaining about the lockdep key not
being static.

cxl: Fix build failure due to -Wunused-variable behaviour change

2015-09-15T09:33:51+00:00

A recent change in gcc caused this build failure:

/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/gcc_kernel_build/linux/drivers/misc/cxl/cxl.h:72:27:
error: ‘CXL_PSL_DLCNTL’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-const-variable]
 static const cxl_p1_reg_t CXL_PSL_DLCNTL  = {0x0060};

Because of this gcc commit:

Commit 1bca8cbd0c68366f07277f98ce6963e10c2aa617 by mark
PR28901 -Wunused-variable ignores unused const initialised variables in C
12 years ago it was decided that -Wunused-variable shouldn't warn about
static const variables because some code used const static char rcsid[]
strings which were never used but wanted in the code anyway. But as the
bug points out this hides some real bugs. These days the usage of
rcsids is not very popular anymore. So this patch changes the default
to warn about unused static const variables in C with
-Wunused-variable. And it adds a new option -Wno-unused-const-variable
to turn this warning off. For C++ this new warning is off by default,
since const variables can be used as #defines in C++. New testcases for
the new defaults in C and C++ are included testing the new warning and
suppressing it with an unused attribute or using
-Wno-unused-const-variable. gcc/ChangeLog

The cxl driver uses static consts in place of #defines in some cases
for type safety, so this change causes the driver to fail to build on
new copilers as these constants are not all used in every file that
imports the header. Suppress the warning for this driver to return to
the old behaviour of -Wunused-variable.

cxl: Fix unbalanced pci_dev_get in cxl_probe

2015-09-15T09:33:38+00:00

Currently the first thing we do in cxl_probe is to grab a reference
on the pci device. Later on, we call device_register on our adapter.
In our remove path, we call device_unregister, but we never call
pci_dev_put. We therefore leak the device every time we do a
reflash.

device_register/unregister is sufficient to hold the reference.
Therefore, drop the call to pci_dev_get.

Here's why this is safe.
The proposed cxl_probe(pdev) calls cxl_adapter_init:
    a) init calls cxl_adapter_alloc, which creates a struct cxl,
       conventionally called adapter. This struct contains a
       device entry, adapter->dev.

    b) init calls cxl_configure_adapter, where we set
       adapter->dev.parent = &dev->dev (here dev is the pci dev)

So at this point, the cxl adapter's device's parent is the PCI
device that I want to be refcounted properly.

    c) init calls cxl_register_adapter
       *) cxl_register_adapter calls device_register(&adapter->dev)

So now we're in device_register, where dev is the adapter device, and
we want to know if the PCI device is safe after we return.

device_register(&adapter->dev) calls device_initialize() and then
device_add().

device_add() does a get_device(). device_add() also explicitly grabs
the device's parent, and calls get_device() on it:

         parent = get_device(dev->parent);

So therefore, device_register() takes a lock on the parent PCI dev,
which is what pci_dev_get() was guarding. pci_dev_get() can therefore
be safely removed.

Watchdog: Fix parent of watchdog_devices

2015-09-09T19:39:22+00:00

/sys/class/watchdog/watchdogn/device/modalias can help to identify the
driver/module for a given watchdog node. However, many wdt devices do not
set their parent and so, we do not see an entry for device in sysfs for
such devices.

This patch fixes parent of watchdog_device so that
/sys/class/watchdog/watchdogn/device is populated.

Exceptions: booke, diag288, octeon, softdog and w83627hf -- They do not
have any parent. Not sure, how we can identify driver for these devices.
