When the kernel is built with CONFIG_PREEMPT it is possible to reach a state
when all modules loaded but some driver still stuck in the deferred list
and there is a need for external event to kick the deferred queue to probe
these drivers.
The issue has been observed on embedded systems with CONFIG_PREEMPT enabled,
audio support built as modules and using nfsroot for root filesystem.
The following log fragment shows such sequence when all audio modules
were loaded but the sound card is not present since the machine driver has
failed to probe due to missing dependency during it's probe.
The board is am335x-evmsk (McASP<->tlv320aic3106 codec) with davinci-evm
machine driver:

In the log the machine driver enters it's probe at 12.719969 (this point it
has been removed from the deferred lists). McASP driver already executing
it's probing (since 12.615118).
The machine driver tries to construct the sound card (12.950839) but did
not found one of the components so it fails. After this McASP driver
registers all the ASoC components (the machine driver still in it's probe
function after it failed to construct the card) and the deferred work is
prepared at 13.099026 (note that this time the machine driver is not in the
lists so it is not going to be handled when the work is executing).
Lastly the machine driver exit from it's probe and the core places it to
the deferred list but there will be no other driver going to load and the
deferred queue is not going to be kicked again - till we have external event
like connecting USB stick, etc.
The proposed solution is to try the deferred queue once more when the last
driver is asking for deferring and we had drivers loaded while this last
driver was probing.
This way we can avoid drivers stuck in the deferred queue.

Commit fa180eb448 (PM / Runtime: Idle devices asynchronously after
probe|release) modified __device_release_driver() to call
pm_runtime_put(dev) instead of pm_runtime_put_sync(dev) before
detaching the driver from the device. However, that was a mistake,
because pm_runtime_put(dev) causes rpm_idle() to be queued up and
the driver may be gone already when that function is executed.
That breaks the assumptions the drivers have the right to make
about the core's behavior on the basis of the existing documentation
and actually causes problems to happen, so revert that part of
commit fa180eb448 and restore the previous behavior of
__device_release_driver().

One of the side effects of deferred probe is that some drivers which
used to be probed before initcalls completed are now happening slightly
later. This causes two problems.
- If a console driver gets deferred, then it may not be ready when
userspace starts. For example, if a uart depends on pinctrl, then the
uart will get deferred and /dev/console will not be available
- __init sections will be discarded before built-in drivers are probed.
Strictly speaking, __init functions should not be called in a drivers
__probe path, but there are a lot of drivers (console stuff again)
that do anyway. In the past it was perfectly safe to do so because all
built-in drivers got probed before the end of initcalls.
This patch fixes the problem by forcing the first pass of the deferred
list to complete at late_initcall time. This is late enough to catch the
drivers that are known to have the above issues.

This makes the device core auto-grab the pinctrl handle and set
the "default" (PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT) state for every device
that is present in the device model right before probe. This will
account for the lion's share of embedded silicon devcies.
A modification of the semantics for pinctrl_get() is also done:
previously if the pinctrl handle for a certain device was already
taken, the pinctrl core would return an error. Now, since the
core may have already default-grabbed the handle and set its
state to "default", if the handle was already taken, this will
be disregarded and the located, previously instanitated handle
will be returned to the caller.
This way all code in drivers explicitly requesting their pinctrl
handlers will still be functional, and drivers that want to
explicitly retrieve and switch their handles can still do that.
But if the desired functionality is just boilerplate of this
type in the probe() function:
struct pinctrl *p;
p = devm_pinctrl_get_select_default(&dev);
if (IS_ERR(p)) {
if (PTR_ERR(p) == -EPROBE_DEFER)
return -EPROBE_DEFER;
dev_warn(&dev, "no pinctrl handle\n");
}
The discussion began with the addition of such boilerplate
to the omap4 keypad driver:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-input&m=135091157719300&w=2
A previous approach using notifiers was discussed:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=135263661110528&w=2
This failed because it could not handle deferred probes.
This patch alone does not solve the entire dilemma faced:
whether code should be distributed into the drivers or
if it should be centralized to e.g. a PM domain. But it
solves the immediate issue of the addition of boilerplate
to a lot of drivers that just want to grab the default
state. As mentioned, they can later explicitly retrieve
the handle and set different states, and this could as
well be done by e.g. PM domains as it is only related
to a certain struct device * pointer.
ChangeLog v4->v5 (Stephen):
- Simplified the devicecore grab code.
- Deleted a piece of documentation recommending that pins
be mapped to a device rather than hogged.
ChangeLog v3->v4 (Linus):
- Drop overzealous NULL checks.
- Move kref initialization to pinctrl_create().
- Seeking Tested-by from Stephen Warren so we do not disturb
the Tegra platform.
- Seeking ACK on this from Greg (and others who like it) so I
can merge it through the pinctrl subsystem.
ChangeLog v2->v3 (Linus):
- Abstain from using IS_ERR_OR_NULL() in the driver core,
Russell recently sent a patch to remove it. Handle the
NULL case explicitly even though it's a bogus case.
- Make sure we handle probe deferral correctly in the device
core file. devm_kfree() the container on error so we don't
waste memory for devices without pinctrl handles.
- Introduce reference counting into the pinctrl core using
<linux/kref.h> so that we don't release pinctrl handles
that have been obtained for two or more places.
ChangeLog v1->v2 (Linus):
- Only store a pointer in the device struct, and only allocate
this if it's really used by the device.

The pm_runtime_get_noresume() calls before really_probe() and
before executing __device_attach() for each driver on the
device's bus cause problems to happen if probing fails and if the
driver has enabled runtime PM for the device in its .probe()
callback. Namely, in that case, if the device has been resumed
by the driver after enabling its runtime PM and if it turns out that
.probe() should return an error, the driver is supposed to suspend
the device and disable its runtime PM before exiting .probe().
However, because the device's runtime PM usage counter was
incremented by the core before calling .probe(), the driver's attempt
to suspend the device will not succeed and the device will remain in
the full-power state after the failing .probe() has returned.
To fix this issue, remove the pm_runtime_get_noresume() calls from
driver_probe_device() and from device_attach() and replace the
corresponding pm_runtime_put_sync() calls with pm_runtime_idle()
to preserve the existing behavior (which is to check if the device
is idle and to suspend it eventually in that case after probing).

When deferred probe was originally added the idea was that devices which
defer their probes would move themselves to the end of dpm_list in order
to try to keep the assumptions that we're making about the list being in
roughly the order things should be suspended correct. However this hasn't
been what's been happening and doing it requires a lot of duplicated code
to do the moves.
Instead take a simple, brute force solution and have the deferred probe
code push devices to the end of dpm_list before it retries the probe. This
does mean we lock the dpm_list a bit more often but it's very simple and
the code shouldn't be a fast path. We do the move with the deferred mutex
dropped since doing things with fewer locks held simultaneously seems like
a good idea.
This approach was most recently suggested by Grant Likely.

1) drvdata is for a driver to store a pointer to driver specific data
2) If no driver is bound, there is no driver specific data associated with
the device
3) Thus logically drvdata should be NULL if no driver is bound.
But many drivers don't clear drvdata on device_release, or set drvdata
early on in probe and leave it set on probe error. Both of which results
in a dangling pointer in drvdata.
This patch enforce for drvdata to be NULL after device_release or on probe

Allow drivers to report at probe time that they cannot get all the resources
required by the device, and should be retried at a later time.
This should completely solve the problem of getting devices
initialized in the right order. Right now this is mostly handled by
mucking about with initcall ordering which is a complete hack, and
doesn't even remotely handle the case where device drivers are in
modules. This approach completely sidesteps the issues by allowing
driver registration to occur in any order, and any driver can request
to be retried after a few more other drivers get probed.
v4: - Integrate Manjunath's addition of a separate workqueue
- Change -EAGAIN to -EPROBE_DEFER for drivers to trigger deferral
- Update comment blocks to reflect how the code really works
v3: - Hold off workqueue scheduling until late_initcall so that the bulk
of driver probes are complete before we start retrying deferred devices.
- Tested with simple use cases. Still needs more testing though.
Using it to get rid of the gpio early_initcall madness, or to replace
the ASoC internal probe deferral code would be ideal.
v2: - added locking so it should no longer be utterly broken in that regard
- remove device from deferred list at device_del time.
- Still completely untested with any real use case, but has been
boot tested.

The driver core tries to prevent race conditions between runtime PM
and driver removal from happening by incrementing the runtime PM
usage counter of the device and executing pm_runtime_barrier() before
running the bus notifier and the ->remove() callbacks provided by the
device's subsystem or driver. This guarantees that, if a future
runtime suspend of the device has been scheduled or a runtime resume
or idle request has been queued up right before the driver removal,
it will be canceled or waited for to complete and no other
asynchronous runtime suspend or idle requests for the device will be
put into the PM workqueue until the ->remove() callback returns.
However, it doesn't prevent resume requests from being queued up
after pm_runtime_barrier() has been called and it doesn't prevent
pm_runtime_resume() from executing the device subsystem's runtime
resume callback. Morever, it prevents the device's subsystem or
driver from putting the device into the suspended state by calling
pm_runtime_suspend() from its ->remove() routine. This turns out to
be a major inconvenience for some subsystems and drivers that want to
leave the devices they handle in the suspended state.
To really prevent runtime PM callbacks from racing with the bus
notifier callback in __device_release_driver(), which is necessary,
because the notifier is used by some subsystems to carry out
operations affecting the runtime PM functionality, use
pm_runtime_get_sync() instead of the combination of
pm_runtime_get_noresume() and pm_runtime_barrier(). This will resume
the device if it's in the suspended state and will prevent it from
being suspended again until pm_runtime_put_*() is called.
To allow subsystems and drivers to put devices into the suspended
state by calling pm_runtime_suspend() from their ->remove() routines,
execute pm_runtime_put_sync() after running the bus notifier in
__device_release_driver(). This will require subsystems and drivers
to make their ->remove() callbacks avoid races with runtime PM
directly, but it will allow of more flexibility in the handling of
devices during the removal of their drivers.

of devices of the bus and b) bind to a driver (if one matches). As a
result of a driver being registered at this bus between a) and b) this

Add BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER as a bus notifier event.
For driver binding/unbinding we with this in
place have the following bus notifier events:
- BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER - before ->probe()
- BUS_NOTIFY_BOUND_DRIVER - after ->probe()
- BUS_NOTIFY_UNBIND_DRIVER - before ->remove()
- BUS_NOTIFY_UNBOUND_DRIVER - after ->remove()
The event BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER allows bus code
to be notified that ->probe() is about to be called.
Useful for bus code that needs to setup hardware before
the driver gets to run. With this in place platform
drivers can be loaded and unloaded as modules and the
new BIND event allows bus code to control for instance
device clocks that must be enabled before the driver
can be executed.
Without this patch there is no way for the bus code to

Introduce a core framework for run-time power management of I/O
devices. Add device run-time PM fields to 'struct dev_pm_info'
and device run-time PM callbacks to 'struct dev_pm_ops'. Introduce
a run-time PM workqueue and define some device run-time PM helper
functions at the core level. Document all these things.
Special thanks to Alan Stern for his help with the design and
multiple detailed reviews of the pereceding versions of this patch
and to Magnus Damm for testing feedback.

This patch adds a new bus notifier event which is emitted _after_ a
device is removed from its driver. This event will be used by the
dma-api debug code to check if a driver has released all dma allocations
for that device.

There is currently only one way for userspace to say "wait for my storage
device to get ready for the modules I just loaded": to load the
scsi_wait_scan module. Expectations of userspace are that once this
module is loaded, all the (storage) devices for which the drivers
were loaded before the module load are present.
Now, there are some issues with the implementation, and the async
stuff got caught in the middle of this: The existing code only
waits for the scsy async probing to finish, but it did not take
into account at all that probing might not have begun yet.
(Russell ran into this problem on his computer and the fix works for him)
This patch fixes this more thoroughly than the previous "fix", which
had some bad side effects (namely, for kernel code that wanted to wait for
the scsi scan it would also do an async sync, which would deadlock if you did
it from async context already.. there's a report about that on lkml):
The patch makes the module first wait for all device driver probes, and then it
will wait for the scsi parallel scan to finish.

This patch removes 100ms polling for driver_probe_done in
wait_for_device_probe(), and uses wait_event() instead.
Removing polling in fs initialization may lead to
a faster boot.
This patch also changes the return type of wait_for_device_done()
from int to void.
This patch is against Arjan's patch in linux-next tree.

This patch moves bus->match out from driver_probe_device and
does not hold device lock to check the match between a device
and a driver.
The idea has been verified by the commit 6cd4958609,
which leads to a faster boot. But the commit 6cd4958609 has
the following drawbacks: 1),only does the quick check in
the path of __driver_attach->driver_probe_device, not in other
paths; 2),for a matched device and driver, check the same match
twice. It is a waste of cpu ,especially for some drivers with long
device id table (eg. usb-storage driver).
This patch adds a helper of driver_match_device to check the match
in all paths, and testes the match only once.

This patch adds a quick check for the driver<->device match before
taking the locks and doin gthe expensive checks. Taking the lock hurts
in asynchronous boot context where the device lock gets hit; one of the
init functions takes the lock and goes to do an expensive hardware init;
the other init functions walk the same PCI list and get stuck on the
lock as a result.
For the common case, we can know there's no chance whatsoever of a match
if the device isn't in the drivers ID table... so this patch does that
check as a best-effort-avoid-the-lock approach.
Bootcharts for before and after can be seen at
http://www.fenrus.org/before.svghttp://www.fenrus.org/after.svg
Note the long time "agp_ali_init" takes in the first graph; my laptop
doesn't even have an ALI chip in it! (the bootgraphs look a bit
dissimilar, but that's the point, the first one has a bunch of arbitrary
delays in it that cause it to look very different)
This reduces my kernel boot time by about 20%

This patch (as1013) was suggested by David Woodhouse; it fixes a race
in the driver core. If a device is unregistered at the same time as
its driver is unloaded, the driver's code pages may be unmapped while
the remove method is still running. The calls to get_driver() and
put_driver() were intended to prevent this, but they don't work if the
driver's module count has already dropped to 0.
Instead, the patch keeps the device on the driver's list until after
the remove method has returned. This forces the necessary
synchronization to occur.

The driver core debugging messages are a mess. This provides a unified
message that makes them actually useful.
The format for new kobject debug messages should be:
driver/bus/class: 'OBJECT_NAME': FUNCTION_NAME: message.\n
Note, the class code is not changed in this patch due to pending patches
in my queue that this would conflict with. A later patch will clean
them up.

struct bus_type is static everywhere in the kernel. This moves the
kobject in the structure out of it, and a bunch of other private only to
the driver core fields are now moved to a private structure. This lets
us dynamically create the backing kobject properly and gives us the
chance to be able to document to users exactly how to use the struct
bus_type as there are no fields they can improperly access.
Thanks to Kay for the build fixes on this patch.

Don't fail bus_attach_device() if the device cannot be bound.
If dev->driver has been specified, reset it to NULL if device_bind_driver()
failed and add the device as an unbound device. As a result,
bus_attach_device() now cannot fail, and we can remove some checking from
device_add().
Also remove an unneeded check in bus_rescan_devices_helper().

Make multithreaded probing work per subsystem instead of per driver.
It doesn't make much sense to probe the same device for multiple drivers in
parallel (after all, only one driver can bind to the device). Instead, create
a probing thread for each device that probes the drivers one after another.
Also make the decision to use multi-threaded probe per bus instead of per
device and adapt the pci code.
