[PATCH] OF: base: match each node compatible against all given matches first

[PATCH] OF: base: match each node compatible against all given matches first

[Sebastian Hesselbarth]

Currently, of_match_node compares each given match against all node's
compatible strings with of_device_is_compatible.

To achieve multiple compatible strings per node with ordering from
specific to generic, this requires given matches to be ordered from
specific to generic. For most of the drivers this is not true and also
an alphabetical ordering is more sane there.

Therefore, this patch modifies of_match_node to match each of the node's
compatible strings against all given matches first, before checking the
next compatible string. This implies that node's compatibles are ordered
from specific to generic while given matches can be in any order.

Hi Sebastian,

I think you're one in a long line of people attempting to fix this. I
tried myself over a year ago (commit 107a84e61cdd 'of: match by
compatible property first') but it caused a subtle regression late in
the release cycle and was reverted (commit bc51b0c22ceb 'Revert "of:
match by compatible property first").

Only recently there was another attempt [0] but it's pretty much
equivalent to what I did back then.

That said, I think you might actually have nailed it with this patch.
>From what I remember all earlier attempt failed because they didn't
match all compatible/name/type combinations properly. I'm adding a few
people on Cc who were involved with the other patches, perhaps they can
give your patch a spin and see if it fixes things for them.

That said, I think you might actually have nailed it with this patch.
From what I remember all earlier attempt failed because they didn't
match all compatible/name/type combinations properly. I'm adding a few
people on Cc who were involved with the other patches, perhaps they can
give your patch a spin and see if it fixes things for them.

I agree and the change here is simple enough I think the chances of a
regression are low. But there is one issue...

No compatible property and matching on name and/or type only is valid.

Rob,

although quoting somehow got messed up, I see the point. The pointer
arith right above loop end condition needs to be skipped too if !cp.

I will rework the loop to allow name/type matching with cp == NULL
and resend in a day or two.

Rob,

although quoting somehow got messed up, I see the point. The pointer
arith right above loop end condition needs to be skipped too if !cp.

I will rework the loop to allow name/type matching with cp == NULL
and resend in a day or two.

[PATCH v2] OF: base: match each node compatible against all given matches first

[Sebastian Hesselbarth]

Currently, of_match_node compares each given match against all node's
compatible strings with of_device_is_compatible.

To achieve multiple compatible strings per node with ordering from
specific to generic, this requires given matches to be ordered from
specific to generic. For most of the drivers this is not true and also
an alphabetical ordering is more sane there.

Therefore, this patch modifies of_match_node to match each of the node's
compatible strings against all given matches first, before checking the
next compatible string. This implies that node's compatibles are ordered
from specific to generic while given matches can be in any order.

I think I am on the CC: list because of a CPU detection problem report 
on sparc64 (183912d352a242a276a7877852f107459a13aff9 (of: move 
of_get_cpu_node implementation to DT core library) caused trouble and 
was reverted). So while your V2 patch does not cause any visible harm on 
the same Sun E3500, my gut feeling is that an additional patch would be 
needed to actually test it (a patch like 
183912d352a242a276a7877852f107459a13aff9).

Is this correct or am I missing something?

I think I am on the CC: list because of a CPU detection problem report 
on sparc64 (183912d352a242a276a7877852f107459a13aff9 (of: move 
of_get_cpu_node implementation to DT core library) caused trouble and 
was reverted). So while your V2 patch does not cause any visible harm on 
the same Sun E3500, my gut feeling is that an additional patch would be 
needed to actually test it (a patch like 
183912d352a242a276a7877852f107459a13aff9).

Is this correct or am I missing something?

The reason you are on Cc is that Thierry added you on last patch
version. I cannot see how above commit should be related with this
one, but maybe Thierry can comment on it.

This patch deals with matching a node with more than one compatible
string on a (unordered) list of matches. Although not related to your
issue, it is good to hear that it causes no harm on DT-mature archs :)

I tested it with ARM and l2x0 cache controllers, where the specific
of_device_id (marvell,tauros3-cache) is sorted after the generic
one (arm,pl310-cache). The corresponding node's property is
compatible = "marvell,tauros3-cache", "arm,pl310-cache".

Without this patch, of_match_node always hits the first match that
equals _any_ of the above compatible strings. With this patch, it
hits the matches _in order_ of the compatible strings.

of_device_id (marvell,tauros3-cache) is sorted after the generic
one (arm,pl310-cache). The corresponding node's property is
compatible = "marvell,tauros3-cache", "arm,pl310-cache".

Without this patch, of_match_node always hits the first match that
equals _any_ of the above compatible strings. With this patch, it
hits the matches _in order_ of the compatible strings.

I added Meelis on Cc because he found a regression with my original
proposal (107a84e61cdd "of: match by compatible property first"). That
got later reverted in commit bc51b0c22ceb (Revert "of: match by
compatible property first"). Here's the commit message for reference:

commit bc51b0c22ceb
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Date:   Tue Jul 10 12:49:32 2012 -0700

    Revert "of: match by compatible property first"

    This reverts commit 107a84e61cdd3406c842a0e4be7efffd3a05dba6.

    Meelis Roos reports a regression since 3.5-rc5 that stops Sun Fire V100
    and Sun Netra X1 sparc64 machines from booting, hanging after enabling
    serial console.  He bisected it to commit 107a84e61cdd.

    Rob Herring explains:
     "The problem is match combinations of compatible plus name and/or type
      fail to match correctly.  I have a fix for this, but given how late it
      is for 3.5 I think it is best to revert this for now.  There could be
      other cases that rely on the current although wrong behavior.  I will
      post an updated version for 3.6."

So if Meelis still has access to the Sun Fire V100 and Sun Netra X1
machines that regressed last time around, it'd be great to get this
patch tested on them to verify that it indeed fixes the problem and
doesn't regress.

OK, I had forgotten about that.

Tested successfully on the same Sun Fire V100 and Sun Netra X1, on top 
of 3.13-rc2. The sunsu console is detected fine and I see no problem for 
now.
