Series i2c: move handling of suspended adapters to the core | expand

Commit Message

Wolfram Sang Dec. 19, 2018, 4:48 p.m. UTC
A few drivers open code handling of suspended adapters. It could be
handled by the core, though, to ensure generic handling. This patch adds
the flag and accessor functions. The usage of these helpers is optional,
though. See the kerneldoc in this patch.

This looks like a duplication of the is_suspended flag in struct dev_pm_info.
Any reason why you can't use that?  If so, it would be good to document the
reason in the commit message.

If the point is to constrain refusal of transfers in suspended state to
certain drivers, those drivers could opt in to that functionality by
setting a flag, and the i2c core could then gate refusal based on
that flag and the is_suspended flag in struct dev_pm_info.

Also, why is it necessary to take a lock to perform an atomic bitop?
(Sorry if that's a dumb question, seems non-obvious to me.)

Thanks,

Lukas

Oh, that is a very good point and that one only gets set on system suspend
and not on resume suspend, working around the problems with the i2c-designware
driver.

I think this might be as simple as adding:

	if (WARN_ON(adap->dev.parent->power.is_suspended))
		return -ESHUTDOWN;

To __i2c_transfer (and document the -ESHUTDOWN) combined with removing
all the now no longer DIY code from various bus drivers.

Hans

Just to make it clear: you mean runtime suspend, not resume suspend, or?

I have seen this flag but decided against it. One reason is because it
is marked as "PM core only". The other reason is that it doesn't know
about the adapter lock. It might get set while a transfer is on going.
Or even right after the suggested if-block above. The code from this
series gets the mutex first which ensures that on going transfers are
completed and no new ones are started in parallel.

Unless I am totally overlooking something...

Yes I mean runtime-suspend, sorry.

Right and we definitely should not be touching it, but reading it should
be fine.

No you are right, there is a race here, but I don't think we are likely to
hit that race. Normally there won't be any ongoing i2c-transfers during
a system suspend and more over, the goal of adding this check is to help
find problems, so even if the check sometimes does not trigger because
of the race that is not really a big deal.

I think we need to get really unlucky to have both a suspend ordering
problem in the first case (already a somewhat rare thing) combined with
hitting this race in such a way *each time* that we don't trigger the
WARN_ON.

To me this seems a case of perfect being the enemy of good. When we
first started discussing this you wanted to not have to modify the
adapter/bus drivers for the check, using adap->dev.parent->power.is_suspended
gives us that and it will also work for complex cases like
the i2c-designware case, so I believe the benefits outway the downsides.

Hans

The power.is_suspended flag is about system-wide suspend, however.

Right, which is why it is good for us to use, when runtime-suspend the
i2c-adapter drivers transfer function will do a runtime_pm_get and all
is well, we want to check for someone trying to do i2c-transfers on
the adapter while it is system-suspended, since then the runtime_pm_get
is a no-op and things fail.

So for this use case it is a good thing that power.is_suspended flag is about
system-wide suspend (which is what I was trying to say in the first place).

Hans

Peter, I think this should work for muxes, too, or? The i2c_transfer()
call to the mux will not be rejected, but it will be later when we reach
the root adapter. And then the error code will be pushed down the tree
until we arrive at the mux again. So, the rejection will not happen at
the earliest time, but it will happen. Is my understanding correct?

Seems like it. So far, no rejection from the other PM people :)

You are right that the impact of a missed detection is not fatal. That
helps. The low likeliness was not an argument for me, though, because
detecting rare things is very important IMO. Because, well, they are
rare and especially hard to debug.

And here you convinced me: even if we miss a detection once, I agree it
is super super unlikely to hit the race every time.

I'll try it.

Yes, I agree with that analysis. All mux actions eventually end up with
an __i2c_transfer() call on the relevant root adapter. Hmm, but not *all*
calls. How about SMBus adapters? Should there not be a similar WARN_ON
in __i2c_smbus_xfer?

But maybe that's not applicable for some reason? Just asking...

Cheers,
Peter

Yes, there should. Yeah, that's what I like about our way of hacking; I
somewhen thought to not forget about SMBus, nevertheless forgot about it
again, and then there is someone else to remind me \o/
