Why is this change? As far as I can see tegra_kbd_setup_keymap() never
returns positive values.

Neither request_irq(). BTW, why not devm_request_irq?

Again, input_register_device() returns 0 on success.

You do not need to call input_unregister_device for managed input
devices, and if you switch request_irq to managed variant you can remove 
tegra_kbc_remove() altogether.

HI Dmitry,
Thanks for quick review.

I will take care of your comment in next version. Some have my answer.

Ok, mostly errors are in negative and hence this change, I will revert 
it and will keep original.

I understand from Mark B on different patches that using 
devm_request_irq() can create race condition when removing device. 
Interrupt can occur when device resource release is in process and so it 
can cause isr call which can use the freed pointer. devm_request_irq() 
should be avoided.


Thanks,
Laxman

devm_request_irq() has a potential of creating a race condition, but it
depents on the driver. In this particular case tegra driver ensures that
interrupts are inhibited when input device is unregistered by providing
tegra_kbc_close() method, so in this particular case it is safe to
use devm_request_irq().

Also, when using managed input devices, the unregistering and final
freeing is a 2-step process, so even in absence of close() method, if
initialization sequence was:

	devm_input_allocate_device()
	...
	devm_request_irq()
	...
	input_unregister_device()

then order of freeing resources (behind the scenes) will be

	devm_input_device_unregister();
	/* input device is still present in memory and can
	 * handle input_event() calls.
	 */
	free_irq();
	devm_input_device_release();

So using managed request_irq() _together_ with managed input devices is
OK.

Thanks.

Thanks for detail explanation. I will modify and sent the new version of 
patch.

EADDRNOTAVAIL is the canonical error for devm_request_and_ioremap()
failure. The kerneldoc comment in lib/devres.c even gives a short
example that uses this error code.

I am sorry, but I do not consider a function that was added a little
over a year ago as a canon. If you look at the uses of EADDRNOTAVAIL it
is used predominantly in networking code to indicate that attempted
_network_ address is not available.

Thanks.

EBUSY might be misleading, though. devm_request_and_ioremap() can fail
in both the request_mem_region() and ioremap() calls. Furthermore it'd
be good to settle on a consistent error-code instead of doing it
differently depending on subsystem and/or driver. Currently the various
error codes used are:

	EBUSY, EADDRNOTAVAIL, ENXIO, ENOMEM, ENODEV, ENOENT, EINVAL,
	EIO, EFAULT, EADDRINUSE

Also if we can settle on one error code we should follow up with a patch
to make it consistent across the tree and also update that kerneldoc
comment. I volunteer to do that if nobody else steps up. I'm also Cc'ing
Wolfram (the original author), maybe he has some thoughts on this.

If you going to change all drivers make devm_request_and_ioremap()
return ERR_PTR()-encoded errors and then we can differentiate what
part of it failed.

Thanks.

Yeah, that thought also crossed my mind. I'll give other people some
time to comment before hurling myself into preparing patches.

I've prepared a patch that changes devm_request_and_ioremap() to return
ERR_PTR()-encoded errors and adjusts all callers. As you can imagine it
is a bit on the huge side. scripts/get_maintainer.pl lists 156 people
and mailing lists. I've gone through the list, and as far as I can tell
everyone on that list is actually affected by the patch, so there's not
much potential for tuning it down.

There is also the issue of whose tree this should go into. Unfortunately
the patch can't be broken down into smaller chunks because it changes
how the devm_request_and_ioremap() function's return value is handled in
an incompatible way, so it won't be possible to gradually phase this in.
Furthermore I can imagine that until the end of the release cycle new
code may be added on which the same transformations need to be done. I
have a semantic patch to do the bulk of the work, but quite a bit of
coordination will be required.

I'm adding Arnd and Greg on Cc, maybe they can advise on how best to
handle this kind of patch.

You should provide a "wrapper" function that does the correct return
value, convert drivers over to it, and then, when everyone is changed,
drop the old call.  To change 156 different drivers all at once, in a
way that is not detectable by the compiler breaking the build, is not a
good thing to do at all.

By doing it in this manner, it will take longer, but you can push the
patches through the different maintainer's trees.  If they are slow,
I'll be glad to take the remaining patches in my driver-core tree to do
the final bits.

Hope this helps,

It certainly sounds like a less complicated way to do it. But it also
involves adding a function with a made up name and drop a function with
a perfectly good name instead. I wouldn't even know what name to choose
for the new API.

How about devm_ioremap_resource()? Sounds equally fitting, and is shorter.

2 cents, I wrote back then:

* the new function is not named 'devm_ioremap_resource' because it does more than
  just ioremap, namely request_mem_region. I didn't want to create implicit
  knowledge here.

Handling the error case was the biggest discussion back then. I
initially did not want to use ERR_PTR, because I see already enough
patches adding a forgotten ERR_PTR to drivers. My initial idea was to
return a simple errno and have the pointer a function argument. I was
convinced [1], however, that the dev_err printout is enough to make
visible what actually went wrong and return a NULL pointer instead. So
much for why the function does NOT return a PTR_ERR, and I still prefer
that.

Then, I added the example code in the documentation using EADDRNOTAVAIL.
Yes, I was brave with this one. Yet, EINVAL, EBUSY, ENOENT, did not
really cut it and are so heavily used in drivers that they turned into a
generic "something is wrong" error. I tried here to use a not overloaded
error code in order to be specific again. Since the patches were
accepted, I assumed it wasn't seen as a namespace violation. (Then
again, it probably would have been if that error code would go out to
userspace) Naturally, I didn't have the resources to check all patches
for a consistent error code.

As said above, that was argued away when committing the patches.

But there is more to that:

When working with this function, there was also the idea to abstract
getting the resource away. Which then gave Sascha Hauer and me the
question, if drivers really have to do this or if this couldn't be done
by the kernel somehow, i.e. giving the drivers already the resources
they need, completely prepared.

Of course, then we would need a similar function for interrupt
resources. Which has much bigger problem with return codes, since we
then step into the area of the "0 is no interrupt" topic (while
platform_get_irq returns an error code).

As a result, I got the impression that the whole topic needs ONE
concentrated, major rehaul or at least a master plan. Adding an idea
here and there doesn't seem to cut it, at least not in the way
devm_request_and_ioremap() was done. I would be interested in doing that
but my resources don't allow me to even think about it at the moment,
sadly.

The problem with the current approach is that people (me included) keep
telling people to use this or that error code in an attempt to achieve
some kind of consistency. Also using an error message to distinguish
between reasons for failure makes it impossible to handle the error
other than by visual inspection. Granted, there are currently no code
paths that require this.

One problem with the original patch was also that it didn't actually
convert any existing uses, so there was little chance of anyone noticing
potential problems. More than a year later this function is used by many
subsystems and a lot of drivers. It just so happened that I observed how
many people just didn't know what error codes to choose and often just
grabbing one randomly.

By adding devm_ioremap_resource() and having it return ERR_PTR()-encoded
error codes we get rid of all these problems and put the responsibility
for choosing the error code where, in my opinion, it belongs: the
failing function.

I'm not sure I like that very much. That could possibly lead to a new
problem where drivers that need to do something special have to jump
through hoops to achieve something that may otherwise be simple.

Anyway, if people don't think this is a sensible conversion I should
waste no more time on it. On the other hand I have the patch series
ready so I might as well post it for broader review.

Yes, so currently, this is rather a cosmetic change. And for that, it is
quite intrusive. I think something like this is needed somewhen as part
of a bigger overhaul. That's what I called "master plan" last time. That
could be that resource handling gets aligned in general, also taking
e.g. interrupt resources into account. But only changing error code
handling for this function, doesn't seem too useful to me and might even
need another change later, then.

Like with the error codes now, there are so many different ways of
handling resources that I did not want to mass convert all the drivers
without being able to test them. I was hoping for a migration over time
with patches from people who really tested what they did.

Yes, and concerning resources this needs cleaning on a bigger scale IMO.

For completeness, it leaves the problem that people might forget to use
ERR_PTR (seen that often in the clk framework). And the change is huge
while I can't see any real benefit right now.

I assume that drivers are already doing something special :) So, that
would turn up in the conversion process. I can't promise that it would
really work, it would need some playing around.

Working on patches is hardly a waste. Even if not accepted, you gain
understanding. Please put me on CC, if you post the patches.

This really doesn't matter. As far as the driver is concerned if the
memory isn't available then it is a failure. Period. Who cares what
the reason was.

The ERR_PTR() pattern is actually worse when it comes to reading and
understanding code. Us C coders have had beaten into us that the correct
test for an invalid pointer is "if (!ptr)". ERR_PTR() is actively
dangerous in this regard because it breaks that pattern, but you cannot
tell from looking at the API that it is wrong.

There are places where it makes sense, but *please* don't use the
ERR_PTR pattern unless absolutely necessary.

Rarely are the actual error codes important for kernel internal stuff.
The error codes only really matter when passing them up to userspace
where they have specific meanings. As far as in-kernel stuff goes, the
policy for choosing error codes consists of "go look at the errno file
and choose one that looks vaguely relevant".
