|
||
| 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 | ||
| initilaization failure doesn'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 acquision 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_something); | ||
| return 0; | ||
| } | ||
|
|
||
| void my_midlayer_destroy_something() | ||
| { | ||
| devres_release_group(dev, my_midlayer_create_soemthing); | ||
| } | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| 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/iomap.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). | ||
|
|
