|
1. Intro
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
devres came up while trying to convert libata to use iomap. Each
|
|
iomapped address should be kept and unmapped on driver detach. For
|
|
example, a plain SFF ATA controller (that is, good old PCI IDE) in
|
|
native mode makes use of 5 PCI BARs and all of them should be
|
|
maintained.
|
|
|
|
As with many other device drivers, libata low level drivers have
|
|
sufficient bugs in ->remove and ->probe failure path. Well, yes,
|
|
that's probably because libata low level driver developers are lazy
|
|
bunch, but aren't all low level driver developers? After spending a
|
|
day fiddling with braindamaged hardware with no document or
|
|
braindamaged document, if it's finally working, well, it's working.
|
|
|
|
For one reason or another, low level drivers don't receive as much
|
|
attention or testing as core code, and bugs on driver detach or
|
|
initialization failure don't happen often enough to be noticeable.
|
|
Init failure path is worse because it's much less travelled while
|
|
needs to handle multiple entry points.
|
|
|
|
So, many low level drivers end up leaking resources on driver detach
|
|
and having half broken failure path implementation in ->probe() which
|
|
would leak resources or even cause oops when failure occurs. iomap
|
|
adds more to this mix. So do msi and msix.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Devres
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
devres is basically linked list of arbitrarily sized memory areas
|
|
associated with a struct device. Each devres entry is associated with
|
|
a release function. A devres can be released in several ways. No
|
|
matter what, all devres entries are released on driver detach. On
|
|
release, the associated release function is invoked and then the
|
|
devres entry is freed.
|
|
|
|
Managed interface is created for resources commonly used by device
|
|
drivers using devres. For example, coherent DMA memory is acquired
|
|
using dma_alloc_coherent(). The managed version is called
|
|
dmam_alloc_coherent(). It is identical to dma_alloc_coherent() except
|
|
for the DMA memory allocated using it is managed and will be
|
|
automatically released on driver detach. Implementation looks like
|
|
the following.
|
|
|
|
struct dma_devres {
|
|
size_t size;
|
|
void *vaddr;
|
|
dma_addr_t dma_handle;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
static void dmam_coherent_release(struct device *dev, void *res)
|
|
{
|
|
struct dma_devres *this = res;
|
|
|
|
dma_free_coherent(dev, this->size, this->vaddr, this->dma_handle);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
dmam_alloc_coherent(dev, size, dma_handle, gfp)
|
|
{
|
|
struct dma_devres *dr;
|
|
void *vaddr;
|
|
|
|
dr = devres_alloc(dmam_coherent_release, sizeof(*dr), gfp);
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
/* alloc DMA memory as usual */
|
|
vaddr = dma_alloc_coherent(...);
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
/* record size, vaddr, dma_handle in dr */
|
|
dr->vaddr = vaddr;
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
devres_add(dev, dr);
|
|
|
|
return vaddr;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
If a driver uses dmam_alloc_coherent(), the area is guaranteed to be
|
|
freed whether initialization fails half-way or the device gets
|
|
detached. If most resources are acquired using managed interface, a
|
|
driver can have much simpler init and exit code. Init path basically
|
|
looks like the following.
|
|
|
|
my_init_one()
|
|
{
|
|
struct mydev *d;
|
|
|
|
d = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(*d), GFP_KERNEL);
|
|
if (!d)
|
|
return -ENOMEM;
|
|
|
|
d->ring = dmam_alloc_coherent(...);
|
|
if (!d->ring)
|
|
return -ENOMEM;
|
|
|
|
if (check something)
|
|
return -EINVAL;
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
return register_to_upper_layer(d);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
And exit path,
|
|
|
|
my_remove_one()
|
|
{
|
|
unregister_from_upper_layer(d);
|
|
shutdown_my_hardware();
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
As shown above, low level drivers can be simplified a lot by using
|
|
devres. Complexity is shifted from less maintained low level drivers
|
|
to better maintained higher layer. Also, as init failure path is
|
|
shared with exit path, both can get more testing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Devres group
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Devres entries can be grouped using devres group. When a group is
|
|
released, all contained normal devres entries and properly nested
|
|
groups are released. One usage is to rollback series of acquired
|
|
resources on failure. For example,
|
|
|
|
if (!devres_open_group(dev, NULL, GFP_KERNEL))
|
|
return -ENOMEM;
|
|
|
|
acquire A;
|
|
if (failed)
|
|
goto err;
|
|
|
|
acquire B;
|
|
if (failed)
|
|
goto err;
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
devres_remove_group(dev, NULL);
|
|
return 0;
|
|
|
|
err:
|
|
devres_release_group(dev, NULL);
|
|
return err_code;
|
|
|
|
As resource acquisition failure usually means probe failure, constructs
|
|
like above are usually useful in midlayer driver (e.g. libata core
|
|
layer) where interface function shouldn't have side effect on failure.
|
|
For LLDs, just returning error code suffices in most cases.
|
|
|
|
Each group is identified by void *id. It can either be explicitly
|
|
specified by @id argument to devres_open_group() or automatically
|
|
created by passing NULL as @id as in the above example. In both
|
|
cases, devres_open_group() returns the group's id. The returned id
|
|
can be passed to other devres functions to select the target group.
|
|
If NULL is given to those functions, the latest open group is
|
|
selected.
|
|
|
|
For example, you can do something like the following.
|
|
|
|
int my_midlayer_create_something()
|
|
{
|
|
if (!devres_open_group(dev, my_midlayer_create_something, GFP_KERNEL))
|
|
return -ENOMEM;
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
devres_close_group(dev, my_midlayer_create_something);
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
void my_midlayer_destroy_something()
|
|
{
|
|
devres_release_group(dev, my_midlayer_create_something);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Details
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Lifetime of a devres entry begins on devres allocation and finishes
|
|
when it is released or destroyed (removed and freed) - no reference
|
|
counting.
|
|
|
|
devres core guarantees atomicity to all basic devres operations and
|
|
has support for single-instance devres types (atomic
|
|
lookup-and-add-if-not-found). Other than that, synchronizing
|
|
concurrent accesses to allocated devres data is caller's
|
|
responsibility. This is usually non-issue because bus ops and
|
|
resource allocations already do the job.
|
|
|
|
For an example of single-instance devres type, read pcim_iomap_table()
|
|
in lib/devres.c.
|
|
|
|
All devres interface functions can be called without context if the
|
|
right gfp mask is given.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Overhead
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Each devres bookkeeping info is allocated together with requested data
|
|
area. With debug option turned off, bookkeeping info occupies 16
|
|
bytes on 32bit machines and 24 bytes on 64bit (three pointers rounded
|
|
up to ull alignment). If singly linked list is used, it can be
|
|
reduced to two pointers (8 bytes on 32bit, 16 bytes on 64bit).
|
|
|
|
Each devres group occupies 8 pointers. It can be reduced to 6 if
|
|
singly linked list is used.
|
|
|
|
Memory space overhead on ahci controller with two ports is between 300
|
|
and 400 bytes on 32bit machine after naive conversion (we can
|
|
certainly invest a bit more effort into libata core layer).
