Upon an async fwnode match, there's some typical behaviour that the
notifier and matching subdev will want to do. For example, a notifier
representing a sensor matching to an async subdev representing its
VCM will want to create an ancillary link to expose that relationship
to userspace.

To avoid lots of code in individual drivers, try to build these links
within v4l2 core.

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for the patch.

Is there a guarantee at this point that notifier->sd->entity has already
been registered with the media_device ? That's done by
media_device_register_entity() called from
v4l2_device_register_subdev().

v4l2_async_match_notify() calls v4l2_device_register_subdev() before the
point that I've added the call to v4l2_async_try_create_links(), so I
think that's covered there.

Yes, good point; although that too is a piece of terminology I find a
bit jarring to be honest; I would have named that function
media_entity_configure_link()

It calls it on sd, not notifier->sd. It's the latter that concerns me.

Ah, you're right of course...I guess in that case the notifier->sd would
get registered during the v4l2_async_match_notify() where the sensor
driver's subdev is sd, but I don't think there's any guarantee that that
would happen first...I haven't traced it through but my guess is that it
would depend on the order in which the ipu3-cio2, sensor and lens
controller drivers probed. I'll check to try and be sure how it works
tomorrow

I was looking at media_device_register_entity(), and it sets

	INIT_LIST_HEAD(&entity->links);
	entity->num_links = 0;
	entity->num_backlinks = 0;

If we create links before that, things may go bad.

Yes.

There's a guarantee that the notifier's complete callback is called once
the notifier's subdevs as well as sub-notifiers are bound and complete. But
there's no guarantee on the initialisation of related entities.

Especially for sensors, the async subdev is registered after the sensor's
own async notifier.

I wonder if the ugly registered callback could be used for this purpose.
Better of course would be to avoid that.

I'd really like all these links to be created automatically by the code,
but given the very loosely defined rules regarding entity
initialization, I'm worried this may not be possible without quite a bit
of cleanup first :-(

It looks like quite a bit of the work done in
media_device_register_entity() could (and likely should) be moved to
media_entity_init(), but I'm not sure if that would be enough to
properly fix the issue.

Yep, that definitely looks like it would make things go badly wrong. I'm
building with a delayed ov8865 probe now, let's see what happens...

Yeah. At present at least the primary entity would need to be linked to
the media dev, as it's taking primary->graph_obj.mdev as the pointer to
use in media_gobj_create() in media_create_ancillary_link(). That's a
pretty big problem actually...but I'd really like to try and solve it as
we could cut a lot of code out the other drivers if we do the same thing
for the data links.

One way around it might be to defer matching in v4l2_async_find_match()
if the notifier's subdev hasn't picked up an mdev itself yet...which
could guarantee the ordering but sort of breaks the asynchronicity of it
all. I'm almost certainly missing some other reason that that's a
terrible idea too.

I'll try and explore some ways to do this that still keeps the link
setup within core - thanks for pointing it out Laurent

I guess you mean media_entity_pads_init()? Or media_device_init()?

v4l2-async is a mess, that's the main reason why everybody is reluctant
to touch it :-) On my long todo list is a task to rewrite it from
scratch, with an API that wouldn't be V4L2-specific.

The former, sorry.

I guess this needs to be a no-op if the media controller API isn't
configured.

It looks like there _is_ a guarantee of ordering actually. When the
ov8865's notifier is registered in v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor(),
v4l2_async_nf_try_all_subdevs() is called against it, but at that point
v4l2_async_nf_find_v4l2_dev() won't find anything for the ov8865's
notifier even if the dw9719 has already probed and has it's async_subdev
waiting because the notifier has no parent and no directly assigned
v4l2_dev, so the function exits before trying to match anything (this
same logic guards all calls to v4l2_async_find_match()). Very shortly
after that v4l2_async_register_subdev() is called for the ov8865's
subdev which will match to ipu3-cio2's notifier. In
v4l2_async_match_notify() for that match the ipu3-cio2's notifier is
assigned as parent to the ov8865's notifier, but _after_
v4l2_device_register_subdev() is called for the ov8865. From that point
on v4l2_async_nf_find_v4l2_dev() will return a pointer and the matching
for the dw9719 will work correctly. So unless I've missed something, I
think it's ok.

This took me a long time to figure out, because I reset libcamera to
master for some reason and then totally forgot that I had done
that...which meant the auto-focus wasn't working when I tested it and I
convinced myself that my deliberate screwing of the probe ordering _did_
break it. After tearing my hair out for an embarrassing amount of time I
eventually figured out what I had done and got to the bottom of it -
sorry for the delay!
