[PATCH 0/5] xen: cleanup detection of non-essential pv devices

[Juergen Gross]

Today the non-essential pv devices are hard coded in the xenbus driver
and this list is lacking multiple entries.

This series reworks the detection logic of non-essential devices by
adding a flag for that purpose to struct xenbus_driver.

[PATCH 1/5] xen: add "not_essential" flag to struct xenbus_driver

[Juergen Gross]

When booting the xenbus driver will wait for PV devices to have
connected to their backends before continuing. The timeout is different
between essential and non-essential devices.

Non-essential devices are identified by their nodenames directly in the
xenbus driver, which requires to update this list in case a new device
type being non-essential is added (this was missed for several types
in the past).

In order to avoid this problem, add a "not_essential" flag to struct
xenbus_driver which can be set to "true" by the respective frontend.

Set this flag for the frontends currently regarded to be not essential
(vkbs and vfb) and use it for testing in the xenbus driver.

Wouldn't it be better to annotate essential?  That way, when new misc
drivers come along, they don't by default block boot.

It isn't as if new drivers would "block boot". Normally the short
timeout for all drivers of 30 seconds is more than enough for all of
them.

I'm a little bit hesitant to have a kind of "white listing" essential
drivers, as there might be different views which drivers should have
that flag. Doing this the other way round is easier: in case of
disagreement such a patch just wouldn't go in, not breaking anything
in that case.

Additionally there might be out-of-tree PV drivers, which could be
hit by not being flagged to be essential. With the not_essential flag
the situation wouldn't change for such a driver.

Similar to the virtual frame buffer (vfb) the pv display driver is not
essential for booting the system. Set the respective flag.

I'm wondering whether it wouldn't better be the other way around: The
(hopefully few) essential ones get flagged, thus also making it more
prominent during patch review that a flag gets added (and justification
provided), instead of having to spot the lack of a flag getting set.

Not flagging a non-essential one is less problematic than not flagging
an essential driver IMO.

For some drivers I'm on the edge, BTW. The pv 9pfs driver ought to be
non-essential in most cases, but there might be use cases where it is
needed, so I didn't set its non_essential flag.

Same applies to pv-usb and maybe pv-scsi, while pv-tpm probably really
is essential.

With the current series I'm ending up with 6 non-essential drivers and
6 essential ones, so either way needs the same number of drivers
modified.
