[PATCH v2 0/6] PCI: Drop duplicated tracking of a pci_dev's bound driver
Posted by Uwe Kleine-König 3 years, 3 months ago
Hello,

changes since v1 (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20210729203740.1377045-1-u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de):

- New patch to simplify drivers/pci/xen-pcifront.c, spotted and
  suggested by Boris Ostrovsky
- Fix a possible NULL pointer dereference I introduced in xen-pcifront.c
- A few whitespace improvements
- Add a commit log to patch #6 (formerly #5)

I also expanded the audience for patches #4 and #6 to allow affected
people to actually see the changes to their drivers.

Interdiff can be found below.

The idea is still the same: After a few cleanups (#1 - #3) a new macro
is introduced abstracting access to struct pci_dev->driver. All users
are then converted to use this and in the last patch the macro is
changed to make use of struct pci_dev::dev->driver to get rid of the
duplicated tracking.

Best regards
Uwe

I love the idea of this series!

I looked at all the bus_type.probe() methods, it looks like pci_dev is
not the only offender here.  At least the following also have a driver
pointer in the device struct:

  parisc_device.driver
  acpi_device.driver
  dio_dev.driver
  hid_device.driver
  pci_dev.driver
  pnp_dev.driver
  rio_dev.driver
  zorro_dev.driver

Do you plan to do the same for all of them, or is there some reason
why they need the pointer and PCI doesn't?

In almost all cases, other buses define a "to_<bus>_driver()"
interface.  In fact, PCI already has a to_pci_driver().

This series adds pci_driver_of_dev(), which basically just means we
can do this:

  pdrv = pci_driver_of_dev(pdev);

instead of this:

  pdrv = to_pci_driver(pdev->dev.driver);

I don't see any other "<bus>_driver_of_dev()" interfaces, so I assume
other buses just live with the latter style?  I'd rather not be
different and have two ways to get the "struct pci_driver *" unless
there's a good reason.

Looking through the places that care about pci_dev.driver (the ones
updated by patch 5/6), many of them are ... a little dubious to begin
with.  A few need the "struct pci_error_handlers *err_handler"
pointer, so that's probably legitimate.  But many just need a name,
and should probably be using dev_driver_string() instead.

Right, when I converted zorro_dev it was pointed out that the code was
copied from pci and the latter has the same construct. :-)
See
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210730191035.1455248-5-u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de
for the patch, I don't find where pci was pointed out, maybe it was on
irc only.

There is a list of cleanup stuff I intend to work on. Considering how
working on that list only made it longer in the recent past, maybe it
makes more sense to not work on it :-)

Among few the busses I already fixed in this regard pci was the first
that has a considerable amount of usage. So I considered it worth giving
it a name.

Yeah, I considered adding a function to get the driver name from a
pci_dev and a function to get the error handlers. Maybe it's an idea to
introduce these two and then use to_pci_driver(pdev->dev.driver) for the
few remaining users? Maybe doing that on top of my current series makes
sense to have a clean switch from pdev->driver to pdev->dev.driver?!

Oh, thanks!  I looked to see if you'd done something similar
elsewhere, but I missed this one.

I'd propose using dev_driver_string() for these places:

  eeh_driver_name() (could change callers to use dev_driver_string())
  bcma_host_pci_probe()
  qm_alloc_uacce()
  hns3_get_drvinfo()
  prestera_pci_probe()
  mlxsw_pci_probe()
  nfp_get_drvinfo()
  ssb_pcihost_probe()

The use in mpt_device_driver_register() looks unnecessary: it's only
to get a struct pci_device_id *, which is passed to ->probe()
functions that don't need it.

The use in adf_enable_aer() looks wrong: it sets the err_handler
pointer in one of the adf_driver structs.  I think those structs
should be basically immutable, and the drivers that call
adf_enable_aer() from their .probe() methods should set
".err_handler = &adf_err_handler" in their static adf_driver
definitions instead.

I think that basically leaves these:

  uncore_pci_probe()     # .id_table, custom driver "registration"
  match_id()             # .id_table, arch/x86/kernel/probe_roms.c
  xhci_pci_quirks()      # .id_table
  pci_error_handlers()   # roll-your-own AER handling, drivers/misc/cxl/guest.c

I think it would be fine to use to_pci_driver(pdev->dev.driver) for
these few.

So the idea is:

	PCI: Simplify pci_device_remove()
	PCI: Drop useless check from pci_device_probe()
	xen/pci: Drop some checks that are always true

are kept as is as preparation. (Do you want to take them from this v2,
or should I include them again in v3?)

Then convert the list of functions above to use dev_driver_string() in a
4th patch.

This is patch #5.

I don't understand that one without some research, probably this yields
at least one patch.

Converting these will be patch 7 then and patch 8 can then drop the
duplicated handling.

Sounds reasonable?

Easiest if you include them until we merge the series.

Yeah, it's a little messy because you'd have to make adf_err_handler
non-static and add an extern for it.  Sample below.
