This patch adds three new OF helper functions to use/request
locks from a hwspinlock device instantiated through a
device-tree blob.

1. The of_hwspin_lock_get_num_locks() is a common helper
   function to read the common 'hwlock-num-locks' property.
2. The of_hwspin_lock_simple_xlate() is a simple default
   translator function for hwspinlock provider implementations
   that use a single cell number for requesting a specific lock
   (relatively indexed) within a hwlock bank.
3. The of_hwspin_lock_request_specific() API can be used by
   hwspinlock clients to request a specific lock using the
   phandle + args specifier. This function relies on the
   implementation providing back a relative hwlock id within
   the bank from the args specifier.

Nice, I ran in to the problem of needing a probe deferral on a
hwspinlock earlier this week so I implemented this yesterday...then I
got a pointer to your series.

of_parse_phandle_with_args() already does pr_err if it can't find the
phandle and on some of the issues related to arguments. So please
remove this pr_warn().

It seems to be standard practice to pass the error value back to the
consumer, so you should
return ERR_PTR(ret); here instead of the NULL...

...especially since you want the consumer to have the ability to
identify this error. Here you should
return ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER); so that the consumer knows that this
lock is not _yet_ registered, but will be in the future.

You should remove this pr_warn as well. The standard use of this
function would be in a probe() and just returning this error value
from that probe will give you a line in the log indicating that this
was in fact the issue.

Please return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL); here.


Looking forward to your next spin, as I will actually use this interface :)

I have modelled the return values in this function based on the return 
values in the existing hwspin_lock_request interfaces. I would need to
change those functions as well.

Ohad,
Do you have any objections to the return code convention change? I agree 
with Bjorn on the changes. If you are ok, then I will add a separate 
patch for the existing functions and revise this patch as well.

Thanks for your comments. I will wait to see if there are any additional

Unless strictly needed, I prefer we don't switch to the ERR_PTR code
convention, as it reduces code readability and increases chances of
user bugs.

In our case, switching to ERR_PTR and friends seems only to optimize a
few error paths, and I'm not sure it's a big win over simplicity.

Thanks,
Ohad.

When introducing the ability to reference a hwspin lock via a phandle
in device tree it makes a big difference to be able to differ between
the case of "initialization failed" or "device not yet probed"; so
that the client knows if it should fail or retry later.

 From a current user/client perspectives, I didn't find any clients of 
hwspinlock within the kernel. So, this is probably the right time to 
change the return code convention.

The usage on the clients will also not become too complicated. The only 
change on the clients is mostly the base error check change from if 
(!hwlock) to if (IS_ERR(hwlock)).

Can you confirm the changes you want me to make, so that I can refresh 
and post a v5 for 3.15?

What's the status on this?  I'm assuming this is going to miss 3.15?
Having DT support in the core will be useful to move the Qualcomm
hwspinlock driver forward as well.

Sorry, I missed your replies for some reason.

I prefer we stick with the current error handling code because I find
the alternative inferior (as long as it's not strictly needed).

Thanks,
Ohad.

I'm not convinced.

The only advantage this brings is to avoid retrying in case a fatal
error has occurred. Such fatal errors are extremely rare, and when
they show up - extremely painful, and I suspect that optimizing them
wouldn't be a big win.

OTOH, keeping the code easier to read and less error prone is a big
win. I prefer we keep it simple for now.

Thanks,
Ohad.

So, are you suggesting that because fatal errors should be "extremely
rare", a consuming driver should just assume that if NULL is returned
from a hwspin_lock_request*() function that it was the "device not yet
probed" case that was hit?

Note that having the consumer/hwspinlock device relationship modeled in
devicetree introduces more potential failure cases...

No - it's not the scarcity, it's the severity.

The error path that will be optimized here is an invalid id. If this
happens, the consumer will crash and burn, and I'm not sure that
slightly optimizing his death is very interesting?

BTW the hwspinlock core once did use ERR_PTR and friends, and it was
changed due to convincing arguments against that methodology on this
mailing list. We can change it back but we need a strong(er) case.

> Note that having the consumer/hwspinlock device relationship modeled in

Yeah. Even the error above, presumed to be EPROBE_DEFER, may be a
symptom of some other fatal error that occurred, and we can't be sure
that a future request will surely be satisfied. So before we bloat our
code, I suggest that we wait for consumers to show up and see if
there's real benefit.

Thanks,
Ohad.

Hi Ohad, Suman

I'm about to send out some patches that depends on this functionality,
how do we move forward?

I still think it's wrong to not return -EPROBE_DEFER, but I much
rather have the code returning NULL than not having it in the tree (we
can always argue about it later...).

@Suman, do you remember if there was any other comments on the patch?

@Ohad, do you object merging Suman's patch in it's current form? I
think it should still apply cleanly.

Bjorn

I have posted two further revisions of this series, the latest is v6
[1]. I added additional patches in v5 that added the concept of reserved
locks, and I have posted them as a separate RFC [2] for v6 so as to not
block the core DT support.

In anycase, the latest v6 version does not define the
of_hwspin_lock_request_specific() function anymore, and it is replaced
with of_hwspin_lock_get_id() function, based on Ohad's review comments
on v5, and I did add the support for -EPROBE_DEFER in this API, without
changing any of the existing return code conventions.

I am yet to receive any comments on v6, but that series should address
both your need for a probe deferral and Ohad's request to not change any
return types. Please give it a try and let me know if you have any comments.

regards
Suman

Guys,

Just to let you know we have several holidays around here these days,
and I intend to review all pending patches immediately soon after.

Thanks,
Ohad.

Ping on this. Can you review the latest series v6 [1] and pick it up for
3.19? The MSM spinlock driver is also blocked/dependent on that series.

Suman

Sure, it's on my mind, I hope I'll get to it next week.

Thanks,
