[PATCH 1/2] platform: make platform_get_irq_optional() optional

[PATCH 1/2] platform: make platform_get_irq_optional() optional

[Sergey Shtylyov]

This patch is based on the former Andy Shevchenko's patch:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210331144526.19439-1-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com/

Currently platform_get_irq_optional() returns an error code even if IRQ
resource simply has not been found. It prevents the callers from being
error code agnostic in their error handling:

	ret = platform_get_irq_optional(...);
	if (ret < 0 && ret != -ENXIO)
		return ret; // respect deferred probe
	if (ret > 0)
		...we get an IRQ...

All other *_optional() APIs seem to return 0 or NULL in case an optional
resource is not available. Let's follow this good example, so that the
callers would look like:

	ret = platform_get_irq_optional(...);
	if (ret < 0)
		return ret;
	if (ret > 0)
		...we get an IRQ...

[PATCH 1/2] platform: make platform_get_irq_optional() optional

[Sergey Shtylyov]

This patch is based on the former Andy Shevchenko's patch:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210331144526.19439-1-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com/

Currently platform_get_irq_optional() returns an error code even if IRQ
resource simply has not been found. It prevents the callers from being
error code agnostic in their error handling:

	ret = platform_get_irq_optional(...);
	if (ret < 0 && ret != -ENXIO)
		return ret; // respect deferred probe
	if (ret > 0)
		...we get an IRQ...

All other *_optional() APIs seem to return 0 or NULL in case an optional
resource is not available. Let's follow this good example, so that the
callers would look like:

	ret = platform_get_irq_optional(...);
	if (ret < 0)
		return ret;
	if (ret > 0)
		...we get an IRQ...

[PATCH 1/2] platform: make platform_get_irq_optional() optional

[Sergey Shtylyov]

This patch is based on the former Andy Shevchenko's patch:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210331144526.19439-1-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com/

Currently platform_get_irq_optional() returns an error code even if IRQ
resource simply has not been found. It prevents the callers from being
error code agnostic in their error handling:

	ret = platform_get_irq_optional(...);
	if (ret < 0 && ret != -ENXIO)
		return ret; // respect deferred probe
	if (ret > 0)
		...we get an IRQ...

All other *_optional() APIs seem to return 0 or NULL in case an optional
resource is not available. Let's follow this good example, so that the
callers would look like:

	ret = platform_get_irq_optional(...);
	if (ret < 0)
		return ret;
	if (ret > 0)
		...we get an IRQ...

[PATCH 1/2] platform: make platform_get_irq_optional() optional

[Sergey Shtylyov]

This patch is based on the former Andy Shevchenko's patch:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210331144526.19439-1-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com/

Currently platform_get_irq_optional() returns an error code even if IRQ
resource simply has not been found. It prevents the callers from being
error code agnostic in their error handling:

	ret = platform_get_irq_optional(...);
	if (ret < 0 && ret != -ENXIO)
		return ret; // respect deferred probe
	if (ret > 0)
		...we get an IRQ...

All other *_optional() APIs seem to return 0 or NULL in case an optional
resource is not available. Let's follow this good example, so that the
callers would look like:

	ret = platform_get_irq_optional(...);
	if (ret < 0)
		return ret;
	if (ret > 0)
		...we get an IRQ...

[PATCH 1/2] platform: make platform_get_irq_optional() optional

[Sergey Shtylyov]

This patch is based on the former Andy Shevchenko's patch:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210331144526.19439-1-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com/

Currently platform_get_irq_optional() returns an error code even if IRQ
resource simply has not been found. It prevents the callers from being
error code agnostic in their error handling:

	ret = platform_get_irq_optional(...);
	if (ret < 0 && ret != -ENXIO)
		return ret; // respect deferred probe
	if (ret > 0)
		...we get an IRQ...

All other *_optional() APIs seem to return 0 or NULL in case an optional
resource is not available. Let's follow this good example, so that the
callers would look like:

	ret = platform_get_irq_optional(...);
	if (ret < 0)
		return ret;
	if (ret > 0)
		...we get an IRQ...

The difference to gpiod_get_optional (and most other *_optional) is that
you can use the NULL value as if it were a valid GPIO.

As this isn't given with for irqs, I don't think changing the return
value has much sense. In my eyes the problem with platform_get_irq() and
platform_get_irq_optional() is that someone considered it was a good
idea that a global function emits an error message. The problem is,
that's only true most of the time. (Sometimes the caller can handle an
error (here: the absence of an irq) just fine, sometimes the generic
error message just isn't as good as a message by the caller could be.
(here: The caller could emit "TX irq not found" which is a much nicer
message than "IRQ index 5 not found".)

My suggestion would be to keep the return value of
platform_get_irq_optional() as is, but rename it to
platform_get_irq_silent() to get rid of the expectation invoked by the
naming similarity that motivated you to change
platform_get_irq_optional().

Best regards
Uwe

The problem is not only there, but also in the platform_get_irq() and that
problem is called vIRQ0. Or as Linus put it "_cookie_" for IRQ, which never
ever should be 0.

The problem is not only there, but also in the platform_get_irq() and that
problem is called vIRQ0. Or as Linus put it "_cookie_" for IRQ, which never
ever should be 0.

This won't fix the issue with vIRQ0.

IMHO it's best to avoid yielding zero for a value that should be
interpreted as an (virtual) irq. Then callers don't even have to
consider if it's a valid value or not.

Is the patch about vIRQ0, or did you only start to consider it when I
said that for gpio NULL is a dummy value? If the former, the commit log
should better mention that.

Anyhow, I still think renaming platform_get_irq_optional() to
platform_get_irq_silent() is a good idea and the patches in this thread
are not.

Is the patch about vIRQ0, or did you only start to consider it when I
said that for gpio NULL is a dummy value? If the former, the commit log
should better mention that.

Anyhow, I still think renaming platform_get_irq_optional() to
platform_get_irq_silent() is a good idea and the patches in this thread
are not.

We actually want platform_get_irq_optional() to look different to all
the other _optional() methods because it is not equivalent. If it
looks the same, developers will assume it is the same, and get
themselves into trouble.

Developers already assume it is the same, and thus forget they have
to check against -ENXIO instead of zero.

Developers already assume it is the same, and thus forget they have
to check against -ENXIO instead of zero.

Is this an ack for renaming platform_get_irq_optional() to
platform_get_irq_silent()?

And then a coccinelle or sparse or ... hook that catches people testing
the return value against 0 would be great.

No it isn't ;-)

If an optional IRQ is not present, drivers either just ignore it (e.g.
for devices that can have multiple interrupts or a single muxed IRQ),
or they have to resort to polling. For the latter, fall-back handling
is needed elsewhere in the driver.
To me it sounds much more logical for the driver to check if an
optional irq is non-zero (available) or zero (not available), than to
sprinkle around checks for -ENXIO. In addition, you have to remember
that this one returns -ENXIO, while other APIs use -ENOENT or -ENOSYS
(or some other error code) to indicate absence. I thought not having
to care about the actual error code was the main reason behind the
introduction of the *_optional() APIs.

No it isn't ;-)

If an optional IRQ is not present, drivers either just ignore it (e.g.
for devices that can have multiple interrupts or a single muxed IRQ),
or they have to resort to polling. For the latter, fall-back handling
is needed elsewhere in the driver.
To me it sounds much more logical for the driver to check if an
optional irq is non-zero (available) or zero (not available), than to
sprinkle around checks for -ENXIO. In addition, you have to remember
that this one returns -ENXIO, while other APIs use -ENOENT or -ENOSYS
(or some other error code) to indicate absence. I thought not having
to care about the actual error code was the main reason behind the
introduction of the *_optional() APIs.

The *_optional() functions return an error code if there has been a
real error which should be reported up the call stack. This excludes
whatever error code indicates the requested resource does not exist,
which can be -ENODEV etc. If the device does not exist, a magic cookie
is returned which appears to be a valid resources but in fact is
not. So the users of these functions just need to check for an error
code, and fail the probe if present.

You seems to be suggesting in binary return value: non-zero
(available) or zero (not available)

This discards the error code when something goes wrong. That is useful
information to have, so we should not be discarding it.

IRQ don't currently have a magic cookie value. One option would be to
add such a magic cookie to the subsystem. Otherwise, since 0 is
invalid, return 0 to indicate the IRQ does not exist.

The request for a script checking this then makes sense. However, i
don't know how well coccinelle/sparse can track values across function
calls. They probably can check for:

   ret = irq_get_optional()
   if (ret < 0)
      return ret;

A missing if < 0 statement somewhere later is very likely to be an
error. A comparison of <= 0 is also likely to be an error. A check for
> 0 before calling any other IRQ functions would be good. I'm
surprised such a check does not already existing in the IRQ API, but
there are probably historical reasons for that.

No, what is suggested is to (besides the API changes):
- do not treat ENXIO as something special in platform_get_irq*()
- allow platform_get_irq*() to return other error codes

No, what is suggested is to (besides the API changes):
- do not treat ENXIO as something special in platform_get_irq*()
- allow platform_get_irq*() to return other error codes

Agreed.

Note that in most (all?) other cases, the return type is a pointer
(e.g. to struct clk), and NULL is the magic cookie.

Only in case of success. In case of a real failure, an error code
must be returned.

Exactly. And using 0 means the similar code can be used as for other
subsystems, where NULL would be returned.

The only remaining difference is the "dummy cookie can be passed
to other functions" behavior.  Which is IMHO a valid difference,
as unlike with e.g. clk_prepare_enable(), you do pass extra data to
request_irq(), and sometimes you do need to handle the absence of
the interrupt using e.g. polling.

There are still a few platforms where IRQ 0 does exist.

   IIRC Linus has proclaimed that IRQ0 was valid for the i8253 driver (living in
arch/x86/); IRQ0 only was frowned upon when returned by platform_get_irq() and its
ilk.

Right, platform_get_irq() has this:

        WARN(ret == 0, "0 is an invalid IRQ number\n");

So given that platform_get_irq() returning 0 is not expected, it seems
reasonable for platform_get_irq_optional() to use 0 as a special
"no irq available" return value, matching the NULL returned by
gpiod_get_optional().

Right, platform_get_irq() has this:

        WARN(ret == 0, "0 is an invalid IRQ number\n");

So given that platform_get_irq() returning 0 is not expected, it seems
reasonable for platform_get_irq_optional() to use 0 as a special
"no irq available" return value, matching the NULL returned by
gpiod_get_optional().

I agree that -ENXIO is unfortunate and -ENOENT would be more in line
with other functions. I assume it's insane to want to change that.

I think irq are not suitable for such a dummy handling. For clocks or
GPIOs there are cases where just doing nothing in the absence of a
certain optional clock or GPIO is fine.

I checked a few users of platform_get_irq_optional() and I didn't find a
single one that doesn't need to differentiate the irq and the no-irq
case later. Do you know one? If you do, isn't that so exceptional that
it doesn't justify the idea of a dummy irq value? So until proven
otherwise I think platform_get_irq_optional() just isn't in the spirit
of clk_get_optional() and gpiod_get_optional() because there are no use
cases where a dummy value would be good enough. (Even if request_irq
would be a noop for a dummy irq value.)

The motivation why platform_get_irq_optional() was introduced was just
that platform_get_irq() started to emit an error message (in commit
7723f4c5ecdb8d832f049f8483beb0d1081cedf6) and the (proportional) few
drivers where the error message was bad needed a variant that doesn't
emit the error message. Look at
31a8d8fa84c51d3ab00bf059158d5de6178cf890, the motivation to use
platform_get_irq_optional() wasn't that it simplifies handling in the
driver, but that it doesn't emit an error message. Or

55cc33fab5ac9f7e2a97aa7c564e8b35355886d5. Just look at the output of git
log -Splatform_get_irq_optional to find some more.

That convinces me, that platform_get_irq_optional() is a bad name. The

No, the main benefit of gpiod_get_optional() (and clk_get_optional()) is

I agree that -ENXIO is unfortunate and -ENOENT would be more in line
with other functions. I assume it's insane to want to change that.

I think irq are not suitable for such a dummy handling. For clocks or
GPIOs there are cases where just doing nothing in the absence of a
certain optional clock or GPIO is fine.

I checked a few users of platform_get_irq_optional() and I didn't find a
single one that doesn't need to differentiate the irq and the no-irq
case later. Do you know one? If you do, isn't that so exceptional that
it doesn't justify the idea of a dummy irq value? So until proven
otherwise I think platform_get_irq_optional() just isn't in the spirit
of clk_get_optional() and gpiod_get_optional() because there are no use
cases where a dummy value would be good enough. (Even if request_irq
would be a noop for a dummy irq value.)

The motivation why platform_get_irq_optional() was introduced was just
that platform_get_irq() started to emit an error message (in commit
7723f4c5ecdb8d832f049f8483beb0d1081cedf6) and the (proportional) few
drivers where the error message was bad needed a variant that doesn't
emit the error message. Look at
31a8d8fa84c51d3ab00bf059158d5de6178cf890, the motivation to use
platform_get_irq_optional() wasn't that it simplifies handling in the
driver, but that it doesn't emit an error message. Or
8f5783ad9eb83747471f61f94dbe209fb9fb8a7d, or
2fd276c3ee4bd42eb034f8954964a5ae74187c6b, or
55cc33fab5ac9f7e2a97aa7c564e8b35355886d5. Just look at the output of git
log -Splatform_get_irq_optional to find some more.

That convinces me, that platform_get_irq_optional() is a bad name. The
only difference to platform_get_irq is that it's silent. And returning
a dummy irq value (which would make it aligned with the other _optional
functions) isn't possible.

No, the main benefit of gpiod_get_optional() (and clk_get_optional()) is
that you can handle an absent GPIO (or clk) as if it were available.

There is regulator_get_optional() which is I believe the earliest of
these APIs, it doesn't return a dummy either (and is silent too) - this
is because regulator_get() does return a dummy since it's the vastly
common case that regulators must be physically present and them not
being found is due to there being an error in the system description.
It's unfortunate that we've ended up with these two different senses for
_optional(), people frequently get tripped up by it.

It's probably counteractive to finding an agreement because there are
too many opinions on that matter. But I didn't dare to strip it down,
too :-)

Yeah, I tripped over that one already, too. And according to my counting
this results in three different senses now :-\ :

 a) regulator
    regulator_get returns a dummy, regulator_get_optional returns ERR_PTR(-ENODEV)
 b) clk + gpiod
    ..._get returns ERR_PTR(-ENODEV), ..._get_optional returns a dummy
 c) platform_get_irq()
    platform_get_irq_optional() is just a silent variant of
    platform_get_irq(); the return values are identical.
    
This is all very unfortunate. In my eyes b) is the most sensible
sense, but the past showed that we don't agree here. (The most annoying
part of regulator_get is the warning that is emitted that regularily
makes customers ask what happens here and if this is fixable.)

I think at least c) is easy to resolve because
platform_get_irq_optional() isn't that old yet and mechanically
replacing it by platform_get_irq_silent() should be easy and safe.
And this is orthogonal to the discussion if -ENOXIO is a sensible return
value and if it's as easy as it could be to work with errors on irq
lookups.

It's probably counteractive to finding an agreement because there are
too many opinions on that matter. But I didn't dare to strip it down,
too :-)

Yeah, I tripped over that one already, too. And according to my counting
this results in three different senses now :-\ :

 a) regulator
    regulator_get returns a dummy, regulator_get_optional returns ERR_PTR(-ENODEV)
 b) clk + gpiod
    ..._get returns ERR_PTR(-ENODEV), ..._get_optional returns a dummy
 c) platform_get_irq()
    platform_get_irq_optional() is just a silent variant of
    platform_get_irq(); the return values are identical.
    
This is all very unfortunate. In my eyes b) is the most sensible
sense, but the past showed that we don't agree here. (The most annoying
part of regulator_get is the warning that is emitted that regularily
makes customers ask what happens here and if this is fixable.)

I think at least c) is easy to resolve because
platform_get_irq_optional() isn't that old yet and mechanically
replacing it by platform_get_irq_silent() should be easy and safe.
And this is orthogonal to the discussion if -ENOXIO is a sensible return
value and if it's as easy as it could be to work with errors on irq
lookups.

Best regards
Uwe

Fortunately it can be fixed, and it's safer to clearly specify things.
The prints are there because when the description is wrong enough to
cause things to blow up we can fail to boot or run messily and
forgetting to describe some supplies (or typoing so they haven't done
that) and people were having a hard time figuring out what might've
happened.

It'd certainly be good to name anything that doesn't correspond to one
of the existing semantics for the API (!) something different rather
than adding yet another potentially overloaded meaning.

[PATCH] driver core: platform: Rename platform_get_irq_optional() to platform_get_irq_silent()

[Uwe Kleine-König]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 41402 bytes --]

The subsystems regulator, clk and gpio have the concept of a dummy
resource. For regulator, clk and gpio there is a semantic difference
between the regular _get() function and the _get_optional() variant.
(One might return the dummy resource, the other won't. Unfortunately
which one implements which isn't the same for these three.) The
difference between platform_get_irq() and platform_get_irq_optional() is
only that the former might emit an error message and the later won't.

To prevent people's expectations that there is a semantic difference
between these too, rename platform_get_irq_optional() to
platform_get_irq_silent() to make the actual difference more obvious.

The #define for the old name can and should be removed once all patches
currently in flux still relying on platform_get_irq_optional() are
fixed.

Yes, that's right. I sent a patch for such a warning in 2019 and pinged
occationally. Still waiting for it to be merged :-\

It seems we're (at least) three who agree about this. Here is a patch
fixing the name.

[PATCH] driver core: platform: Rename platform_get_irq_optional() to platform_get_irq_silent()

[Uwe Kleine-König]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 41402 bytes --]

The subsystems regulator, clk and gpio have the concept of a dummy
resource. For regulator, clk and gpio there is a semantic difference
between the regular _get() function and the _get_optional() variant.
(One might return the dummy resource, the other won't. Unfortunately
which one implements which isn't the same for these three.) The
difference between platform_get_irq() and platform_get_irq_optional() is
only that the former might emit an error message and the later won't.

To prevent people's expectations that there is a semantic difference
between these too, rename platform_get_irq_optional() to
platform_get_irq_silent() to make the actual difference more obvious.

The #define for the old name can and should be removed once all patches
currently in flux still relying on platform_get_irq_optional() are
fixed.

Yes, that's right. I sent a patch for such a warning in 2019 and pinged
occationally. Still waiting for it to be merged :-\

It seems we're (at least) three who agree about this. Here is a patch
fixing the name.

[PATCH] driver core: platform: Rename platform_get_irq_optional() to platform_get_irq_silent()

[Uwe Kleine-König]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 41402 bytes --]

The subsystems regulator, clk and gpio have the concept of a dummy
resource. For regulator, clk and gpio there is a semantic difference
between the regular _get() function and the _get_optional() variant.
(One might return the dummy resource, the other won't. Unfortunately
which one implements which isn't the same for these three.) The
difference between platform_get_irq() and platform_get_irq_optional() is
only that the former might emit an error message and the later won't.

To prevent people's expectations that there is a semantic difference
between these too, rename platform_get_irq_optional() to
platform_get_irq_silent() to make the actual difference more obvious.

The #define for the old name can and should be removed once all patches
currently in flux still relying on platform_get_irq_optional() are
fixed.

Yes, that's right. I sent a patch for such a warning in 2019 and pinged
occationally. Still waiting for it to be merged :-\

It seems we're (at least) three who agree about this. Here is a patch
fixing the name.

Best regards

[PATCH] driver core: platform: Rename platform_get_irq_optional() to platform_get_irq_silent()

[Uwe Kleine-König]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 41402 bytes --]

The subsystems regulator, clk and gpio have the concept of a dummy
resource. For regulator, clk and gpio there is a semantic difference
between the regular _get() function and the _get_optional() variant.
(One might return the dummy resource, the other won't. Unfortunately
which one implements which isn't the same for these three.) The
difference between platform_get_irq() and platform_get_irq_optional() is
only that the former might emit an error message and the later won't.

To prevent people's expectations that there is a semantic difference
between these too, rename platform_get_irq_optional() to
platform_get_irq_silent() to make the actual difference more obvious.

The #define for the old name can and should be removed once all patches
currently in flux still relying on platform_get_irq_optional() are
fixed.

Yes, that's right. I sent a patch for such a warning in 2019 and pinged
occationally. Still waiting for it to be merged :-\

It seems we're (at least) three who agree about this. Here is a patch
fixing the name.

[PATCH] driver core: platform: Rename platform_get_irq_optional() to platform_get_irq_silent()

[Uwe Kleine-König]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 41402 bytes --]

The subsystems regulator, clk and gpio have the concept of a dummy
resource. For regulator, clk and gpio there is a semantic difference
between the regular _get() function and the _get_optional() variant.
(One might return the dummy resource, the other won't. Unfortunately
which one implements which isn't the same for these three.) The
difference between platform_get_irq() and platform_get_irq_optional() is
only that the former might emit an error message and the later won't.

To prevent people's expectations that there is a semantic difference
between these too, rename platform_get_irq_optional() to
platform_get_irq_silent() to make the actual difference more obvious.

The #define for the old name can and should be removed once all patches
currently in flux still relying on platform_get_irq_optional() are
fixed.

Yes, that's right. I sent a patch for such a warning in 2019 and pinged
occationally. Still waiting for it to be merged :-\

It seems we're (at least) three who agree about this. Here is a patch
fixing the name.

Best regards

This would address a bit of the critic in my commit log. But as 0 isn't
a dummy value like the dummy values that exist for clk, gpiod and
regulator I still think that the naming is a bad idea because it's not
in the spirit of the other *_get_optional functions.

Seeing you say that -ENXIO is a bad return value for
platform_get_irq_optional() and 0 should be used instead, I wonder why
not changing platform_get_irq() to return 0 instead of -ENXIO, too.
This question is for now only about a sensible semantic. That actually
changing platform_get_irq() is probably harder than changing
platform_get_irq_optional() is a different story.

If only platform_get_irq_optional() is changed and given that the
callers have to do something like:

	if (this_irq_exists()):
		... (e.g. request_irq)
	else:
		... (e.g. setup polling)

I really think it's a bad idea that this_irq_exists() has to be
different for platform_get_irq() vs. platform_get_irq_optional().

See https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220113194358.xnnbhsoyetihterb@pengutronix.de/

This is just a tree-wide
s/platform_get_irq_optional/platform_get_irq_silent/ + a macro to not
break callers of platform_get_irq_optional().

This would address a bit of the critic in my commit log. But as 0 isn't
a dummy value like the dummy values that exist for clk, gpiod and
regulator I still think that the naming is a bad idea because it's not
in the spirit of the other *_get_optional functions.

Seeing you say that -ENXIO is a bad return value for
platform_get_irq_optional() and 0 should be used instead, I wonder why
not changing platform_get_irq() to return 0 instead of -ENXIO, too.
This question is for now only about a sensible semantic. That actually
changing platform_get_irq() is probably harder than changing
platform_get_irq_optional() is a different story.

If only platform_get_irq_optional() is changed and given that the
callers have to do something like:

	if (this_irq_exists()):
		... (e.g. request_irq)
	else:
		... (e.g. setup polling)

I really think it's a bad idea that this_irq_exists() has to be
different for platform_get_irq() vs. platform_get_irq_optional().

For platform_get_irq(), the IRQ being absent is an error condition,
hence it should return an error code.
For platform_get_irq_optional(), the IRQ being absent is not an error
condition, hence it should not return an error code, and 0 is OK.

For platform_get_irq(), the IRQ being absent is an error condition,
hence it should return an error code.
For platform_get_irq_optional(), the IRQ being absent is not an error
condition, hence it should not return an error code, and 0 is OK.

Please show a few examples how this simplifies the code. If it's only
that a driver has to check for == 0 instead of == -ENXIO, than that's
not a good enough motivation to make platform_get_irq_optional()
different to platform_get_irq().

   As for platform_get_irq(), returning -ENXIO simplifies things a lot: you don't
have to check for 0 at every freaking call site and have s/th like (every
time!):

	irq = platform_get_irq();
	if (irq <= 0)
		return irq ?: -ENXIO; // any error code you choose

instead of just:

	irq = platform_get_irq();
	if (irq < 0)
		return irq;

This scales better in my book.

   As for platform_get_irq(), returning -ENXIO simplifies things a lot: you don't
have to check for 0 at every freaking call site and have s/th like (every
time!):

	irq = platform_get_irq();
	if (irq <= 0)
		return irq ?: -ENXIO; // any error code you choose

instead of just:

	irq = platform_get_irq();
	if (irq < 0)
		return irq;

This scales better in my book.

   Again, it scales better... good motivation in my eyes.

 From an API naming perspective this does not make much sense anymore 
with the name chosen, it is understood that whent he function is called 
platform_get_irq_optional(), optional applies to the IRQ. An optional 
IRQ is something people can reason about because it makes sense.

What is a a "silent" IRQ however? It does not apply to the object it is 
trying to fetch to anymore, but to the message that may not be printed 
in case the resource failed to be obtained, because said resource is 
optional. Woah, that's quite a stretch.

not entirely clear to me anymore what is it that we are trying to fix.

The problem I see is that the semantic is different to the other
available *_get_optional() functions. And this isn't fixable for irqs.
So better don't use that naming scheme.

I'm surprised that the semantic isn't obvious, but ok, I can accept
that.Can you maek a constructive suggestion here? What name pair would
you choose for the two functions functions under discussion?

(BTW, my favourite would be that platform_get_irq() doesn't emit an
error message and the caller is reliable for emitting that. But I think
it's too late for this approach.)

> Following the discussion and original 2 patches set from Sergey, it is not
> entirely clear to me anymore what is it that we are trying to fix.

(I think) Sergey's focus is:

	platform_get_irq_optional() returning -ENXIO is ugly, other
	functions return -ENOENT and other *_get_optional() functions
	return NULL for "This resource doesn't exist". So let's return 0
	in this case.

My focus is:

	There cannot be an "optional irq" where the driver doesn't have
	to care if the irq actually exist or not. So the pattern with
	*_get_optional() isn't sensible for irqs and if changing the
	returned value meaning "This resource doesn't exist" is sensible
	for platform_get_irq_optional(), I claim it's sensible for
	platform_get_irq(), too.

	So the semantic difference between platform_get_irq() and
	platform_get_irq_optional() is only that one emits an error
	message and the other doesn't. So this function pair should use
	a different naming than get + get_optional as this naming evokes
	expectations that must be wrong as there cannot be a dummy irq
	value.

no way. green is the ultimate blue for platform_get_irq() :-)

available *_get_optional() functions. And this isn't fixable for irqs.
So better don't use that naming scheme.

I'm surprised that the semantic isn't obvious, but ok, I can accept
that.Can you maek a constructive suggestion here? What name pair would
you choose for the two functions functions under discussion?

(BTW, my favourite would be that platform_get_irq() doesn't emit an
error message and the caller is reliable for emitting that. But I think
it's too late for this approach.)

(I think) Sergey's focus is:

	platform_get_irq_optional() returning -ENXIO is ugly, other
	functions return -ENOENT and other *_get_optional() functions
	return NULL for "This resource doesn't exist". So let's return 0
	in this case.

My focus is:

	There cannot be an "optional irq" where the driver doesn't have
	to care if the irq actually exist or not. So the pattern with
	*_get_optional() isn't sensible for irqs and if changing the
	returned value meaning "This resource doesn't exist" is sensible
	for platform_get_irq_optional(), I claim it's sensible for
	platform_get_irq(), too.

	So the semantic difference between platform_get_irq() and
	platform_get_irq_optional() is only that one emits an error
	message and the other doesn't. So this function pair should use
	a different naming than get + get_optional as this naming evokes
	expectations that must be wrong as there cannot be a dummy irq
	value.

no way. green is the ultimate blue for platform_get_irq() :-)

   Andy and me tried to fix the platform_get_irq[_byname]_optional() value, corresponding to
a missing (optional) IRQ resource from -ENXIO to 0, in order to keep the callers error code
agnostic. This change completely aligns e.g. platform_get_irq_optional() with clk_get_optional()
and gpiod_get_optional()...
   Unforunately, we can't "fix" request_irq() and company to treat 0 as missing IRQ -- they have

   Andy and me tried to fix the platform_get_irq[_byname]_optional() value, corresponding to
a missing (optional) IRQ resource from -ENXIO to 0, in order to keep the callers error code
agnostic. This change completely aligns e.g. platform_get_irq_optional() with clk_get_optional()
and gpiod_get_optional()...

So you oppose to the name chosen, but not the renaming as such. I
already asked Florian if he has a better name, do you have a
constructive suggestion? What about platform_silently_get_irq? Or
platform_get_irq_silently?

Do you agree that it's unfortunate that platform_get_irq_optional() has a
different usage convention than clk_get_optional() and
gpiod_get_optional()?

Do you agree that the difference between platform_get_irq_optional() and
platform_get_irq() is only that one of them issues an error message and
the other doesn't?

Currently the return values of platform_get_irq_optional() and
platform_get_irq() are identical. Do you agree that any change to clean
up the return value convention of platform_get_irq_optional() also
would be sensible for platform_get_irq()?

Do you agree that changing the way how return values of
platform_get_irq_optional() have to be evaluated without adapting
platform_get_irq() in the same way, artifially breaks the releation
between these two functions?

Did you read and understand my objection? Yes, in the not found case the
return value is a 32-bit or 64-bit long zero value (0 or NULL) for these
functions. But for irqs you cannot treat that as an irq number. For clks
this works, and this is the fact that justifies the "optional" in the
name and that simplifies further handling without having to check if the
value returned by clk_get_optional corresponds to the dummy clk or a
real one. Just returning 0 for not-found doesn't justify "optional" in
the name. Or do you think kmalloc should better be called
kmalloc_optional because it returns NULL if there is no more memory
available?

The only thing you accomplish with returning 0 instead of -ENXIO is that
the check for this value in the callers has to be adapted. But as you
cannot handle 0 and a "normal" irq in the same way (i.e. pass it to
request_irq) 

In my eyes error code agnostic isn't a sensible goal. If you ask for a
resource and it's not there and your driver can cope and this cannot be
done by just treating the returned value as a valid resource, making it
explicit that the error code for "not found" is handled is a good thing.
In my opinion it's not a good enough reason to change a function's
return conventions just that I can handle one of the various results
using

	if (ret == 0)

instead of

	if (ret == -ENXIO)

Also there is no justification to change the value for "not found" to
zero. The next developer might be annoyed by having to check for
-EPROBE_DEFER and wants to introduce a special function that behaves
like platform_get_irq, just returns 0 when platform_get_irq returns
-ENOENT.

Note that even if request_irq would be a noop for 0, the biggest part of
the drivers wouldn't be done with request_irq(0, ...) because in the
absense of an irq something has to be done about it.

Oh my, I failed to not continue this discussion really badly. But I
really cannot stand people arguing for wrong things and ignoring my
reasoning completely. In case you feel the same way: I agree that -ENXIO
is the wrong value for not-found. But to change this wrong behaviour to
another wrong behaviour isn't an improvement.

Uwe

The only thing you accomplish with returning 0 instead of -ENXIO is that
the check for this value in the callers has to be adapted. But as you
cannot handle 0 and a "normal" irq in the same way (i.e. pass it to
request_irq) 

In my eyes error code agnostic isn't a sensible goal. If you ask for a
resource and it's not there and your driver can cope and this cannot be
done by just treating the returned value as a valid resource, making it
explicit that the error code for "not found" is handled is a good thing.
In my opinion it's not a good enough reason to change a function's
return conventions just that I can handle one of the various results
using

	if (ret == 0)

instead of

	if (ret == -ENXIO)

Also there is no justification to change the value for "not found" to
zero. The next developer might be annoyed by having to check for
-EPROBE_DEFER and wants to introduce a special function that behaves
like platform_get_irq, just returns 0 when platform_get_irq returns
-ENOENT.

Note that even if request_irq would be a noop for 0, the biggest part of
the drivers wouldn't be done with request_irq(0, ...) because in the
absense of an irq something has to be done about it.

Oh my, I failed to not continue this discussion really badly. But I
really cannot stand people arguing for wrong things and ignoring my
reasoning completely. In case you feel the same way: I agree that -ENXIO
is the wrong value for not-found. But to change this wrong behaviour to
another wrong behaviour isn't an improvement.

So you oppose to the name chosen, but not the renaming as such. I
already asked Florian if he has a better name, do you have a
constructive suggestion? What about platform_silently_get_irq? Or
platform_get_irq_silently?

Do you agree that it's unfortunate that platform_get_irq_optional() has a
different usage convention than clk_get_optional() and
gpiod_get_optional()?

Do you agree that the difference between platform_get_irq_optional() and
platform_get_irq() is only that one of them issues an error message and
the other doesn't?

Currently the return values of platform_get_irq_optional() and
platform_get_irq() are identical. Do you agree that any change to clean
up the return value convention of platform_get_irq_optional() also
would be sensible for platform_get_irq()?

Do you agree that changing the way how return values of
platform_get_irq_optional() have to be evaluated without adapting
platform_get_irq() in the same way, artifially breaks the releation
between these two functions?

Did you read and understand my objection? Yes, in the not found case the
return value is a 32-bit or 64-bit long zero value (0 or NULL) for these
functions. But for irqs you cannot treat that as an irq number. For clks
this works, and this is the fact that justifies the "optional" in the
name and that simplifies further handling without having to check if the
value returned by clk_get_optional corresponds to the dummy clk or a
real one. Just returning 0 for not-found doesn't justify "optional" in
the name. Or do you think kmalloc should better be called
kmalloc_optional because it returns NULL if there is no more memory
available?

The only thing you accomplish with returning 0 instead of -ENXIO is that
the check for this value in the callers has to be adapted. But as you
cannot handle 0 and a "normal" irq in the same way (i.e. pass it to
request_irq)

I oppose the name change. The unneeded churn right now since it won't fix
the issues with the underneath API (platform_get_irq() in this case) and
will require one more iteration over callers again.

The main issue that platform_get_irq*() returns magic error code while
treating 0 in a very special way (issuing WARN() and considering it as
a successful cookie) and this all is quite confusing.

If you are going to fix the underlying issue, welcome! Now I see only

If someone already opposed to the renaming (and not only the name) I
must have missed that.

So you think it's a good idea to keep the name
platform_get_irq_optional() despite the "not found" value returned by it
isn't usable as if it were a normal irq number?

Uwe

I meant that on the other side people who are in favour of Sergey's patch.
Since that I commented already that I opposed the renaming being a standalone
change.

Do you agree that we have several issues with platform_get_irq*() APIs?

1. The unfortunate naming
2. The vIRQ0 handling: a) WARN() followed by b) returned value 0
3. The specific cookie for "IRQ not found, while no error happened" case

unfortunate naming for the currently implemented semantic, yes.

I'm happy with the vIRQ0 handling. Today platform_get_irq() and it's
silent variant returns either a valid and usuable irq number or a
negative error value. That's totally fine.

> 3. The specific cookie for "IRQ not found, while no error happened" case

Not sure what you mean here. I have no problem that a situation I can
cope with is called an error for the query function. I just do error
handling and continue happily. So the part "while no error happened" is
irrelevant to me.

Additionally I see the problems:

4. The semantic as implemented in Sergey's patch isn't better than the
current one. platform_get_irq*() is still considerably different from
(clk|gpiod)_get* because the not-found value for the _optional variant
isn't usuable for the irq case. For clk and gpio I get rid of a whole if
branch, for irq I only change the if-condition. (And if that change is
considered good or bad seems to be subjective.)

For the idea to add a warning to platform_get_irq_optional for all but
-ENXIO (and -EPROBE_DEFER), I see the problem:

5. platform_get_irq*() issuing an error message is only correct most of
the time and given proper error handling in the caller (which might be
able to handle not only -ENXIO but maybe also -EINVAL[1]) the error message
is irritating. Today platform_get_irq() emits an error message for all
but -EPROBE_DEFER. As soon as we find a driver that handles -EINVAL we
need a function platform_get_irq_variant1 to be silent for -EINVAL,
-EPROBE_DEFER and -ENXIO (or platform_get_irq_variant2 that is only
silent for -EINVAL and -EPROBE_DEFER?)

IMHO a query function should always be silent and let the caller do the
error handling. And if it's only because

	mydev: IRQ index 0 not found

is worse than

	mydev: neither TX irq not a muxed RX/TX irq found

. Also "index 0" is irritating for devices that are expected to have
only a single irq (i.e. the majority of all devices).

Yes, I admit, we can safe some code by pushing the error message in a
query function. But that doesn't only have advantages.

It might return 0.
Actually it seems that the WARN() can only be issued in two cases:
- SPARC with vIRQ0 in one of the array member
- fallback to ACPI for GPIO IRQ resource with index 0

But the latter is bogus, because it would mean a bug in the ACPI code.

The bottom line here is the SPARC case. Anybody familiar with the platform
can shed a light on this. If there is no such case, we may remove warning
along with ret = 0 case from platfrom_get_irq().

I meant that instead of using special error code, 0 is very much good for
the cases when IRQ is not found. It allows to distinguish -ENXIO from the
low layer from -ENXIO with this magic meaning.

You are mixing up two things:
 - semantics of the pointer
 - semantics of the cookie

Like I said previously the mistake is in putting an equal sign between apples
and oranges (or in terms of Python, which is a good example here, None and
False objects, where in both case 0 is magic and Python `if X`, `while `X` will
work in the same way, the `typeof(X)` is different semantically).

   We'll have a really hard time if we continue to allow IRQ0 to be returned by

FWIW, we had a similar issue with an IRQ resource passed from the
tqmx86 MFD driver do the GPIO driver, which we noticed due to this
warning, and which was fixed
in a946506c48f3bd09363c9d2b0a178e55733bcbb6
and 9b87f43537acfa24b95c236beba0f45901356eb2.
I believe these changes are what promted this whole discussion and led
to my "Reported-by" on the patch?

It is not entirely clear to me when IRQ 0 is valid and when it isn't,
but the warning seems useful to me. Maybe it would make more sense to
warn when such an IRQ resource is registered for a platform device, and
not when it is looked up?

My opinion is that it would be very confusing if there are any places
in the kernel (on some platforms) where IRQ 0 is valid, but for
platform_get_irq() it would suddenly mean "not found". Keeping a
negative return value seems preferable to me for this reason.

(An alternative, more involved idea would be to add 1 to all IRQ
"cookies", so IRQ 0 would return 1, leaving 0 as a special value. I
have absolutely no idea how big the API surface is that would need
changes, and it is likely not worth the effort at all.)

As gregkh noted, changing the return value without also making the
compile fail will be a huge PITA whenever driver patches are back- or
forward-ported, as it would require subtle changes in error paths,
which can easily slip through unnoticed, in particular with half-
automated stable backports.

Even if another return value like -ENODEV might be better aligned with
...regulator_get_optional() and similar functions, or we even find a
way to make 0 usable for this, none of the proposed changes strike me
as big enough a win to outweigh the churn caused by making such a
change at all.

Kind regards,
Matthias

FWIW, we had a similar issue with an IRQ resource passed from the
tqmx86 MFD driver do the GPIO driver, which we noticed due to this
warning, and which was fixed
in a946506c48f3bd09363c9d2b0a178e55733bcbb6
and 9b87f43537acfa24b95c236beba0f45901356eb2.
I believe these changes are what promted this whole discussion and led
to my "Reported-by" on the patch?

It is not entirely clear to me when IRQ 0 is valid and when it isn't,
but the warning seems useful to me. Maybe it would make more sense to
warn when such an IRQ resource is registered for a platform device, and
not when it is looked up?

My opinion is that it would be very confusing if there are any places
in the kernel (on some platforms) where IRQ 0 is valid, but for
platform_get_irq() it would suddenly mean "not found". Keeping a
negative return value seems preferable to me for this reason.

(An alternative, more involved idea would be to add 1 to all IRQ
"cookies", so IRQ 0 would return 1, leaving 0 as a special value. I
have absolutely no idea how big the API surface is that would need
changes, and it is likely not worth the effort at all.)

As gregkh noted, changing the return value without also making the
compile fail will be a huge PITA whenever driver patches are back- or
forward-ported, as it would require subtle changes in error paths,
which can easily slip through unnoticed, in particular with half-
automated stable backports.

Even if another return value like -ENODEV might be better aligned with
...regulator_get_optional() and similar functions, or we even find a
way to make 0 usable for this, none of the proposed changes strike me
as big enough a win to outweigh the churn caused by making such a
change at all.

No, it's not, unfortunately :-( You just band aided the warning issue, but the
root cause is the WARN() and possibility to see valid (v)IRQ0 in the resources.
See below.

And those places are board files like yours :( They have to be fixed
eventually. Ideally by using IRQ domains. At least that's how it's
done elsewhere.

IRQ 0 is valid, vIRQ0 (or read it as cookie) is not.

Now, the problem in your case is that you are talking about board files, while
ACPI and DT never gives resource with vIRQ0. For board files some (legacy) code
decides that it's fine to supply HW IRQ, while the de facto case is that
platform_get_resource() returns whatever is in the resource, while
platform_get_irq() should return a cookie.

This is what IRQ domains do, they start vIRQs from 1.

Let's not modify kernel at all then, because in many cases it is a PITA
for back- or forward-porting :-)

No, it's not, unfortunately :-( You just band aided the warning issue, but the
root cause is the WARN() and possibility to see valid (v)IRQ0 in the resources.

And those places are board files like yours :( They have to be fixed
eventually. Ideally by using IRQ domains. At least that's how it's
done elsewhere.

IRQ 0 is valid, vIRQ0 (or read it as cookie) is not.

Now, the problem in your case is that you are talking about board files, while
ACPI and DT never gives resource with vIRQ0. For board files some (legacy) code
decides that it's fine to supply HW IRQ, while the de facto case is that
platform_get_resource() returns whatever is in the resource, while
platform_get_irq() should return a cookie.

   Yeah, why bother fixing if it compiles anyway?
   I think an inline wrapper with an indication to gcc that the function is deprecated

The plan is to remove the define in one or two kernel releases. The idea
is only to not break patches that are currently in next.

The deprecated function annotation is generally frowned upon. See

   Hm, I've just looked at these and must note that they match 1:1 with
platform_get_irq_optional(). Unfortunately, we can't however behave the
same way in request_irq() -- because it has to support IRQ0 for the sake
of i8253 drivers in arch/...

   Hm, I've just looked at these and must note that they match 1:1 with
platform_get_irq_optional(). Unfortunately, we can't however behave the
same way in request_irq() -- because it has to support IRQ0 for the sake
of i8253 drivers in arch/...

Let me reformulate your statement to the IMHO equivalent:

	If you set aside the differences between
	platform_get_irq_optional() and gpiod_get_optional(),
	platform_get_irq_optional() is like gpiod_get_optional().

The introduction of gpiod_get_optional() made it possible to simplify
the following code:

	reset_gpio = gpiod_get(...)
	if IS_ERR(reset_gpio):
		error = PTR_ERR(reset_gpio)
		if error != -ENDEV:
			return error
	else:
		gpiod_set_direction(reset_gpiod, INACTIVE)

to

	reset_gpio = gpiod_get_optional(....)
	if IS_ERR(reset_gpio):
		return reset_gpio
	gpiod_set_direction(reset_gpiod, INACTIVE)

and I never need to actually know if the reset_gpio actually exists.
Either the line is put into its inactive state, or it doesn't exist and
then gpiod_set_direction is a noop. For a regulator or a clk this works
in a similar way.

However for an interupt this cannot work. You will always have to check
if the irq is actually there or not because if it's not you cannot just
ignore that. So there is no benefit of an optional irq.

Leaving error message reporting aside, the introduction of
platform_get_irq_optional() allows to change

	irq = platform_get_irq(...);
	if (irq < 0 && irq != -ENXIO) {
		return irq;
	} else if (irq >= 0) {
		... setup irq operation ...
	} else { /* irq == -ENXIO */
		... setup polling ...
	}

to
	
	irq = platform_get_irq_optional(...);
	if (irq < 0 && irq != -ENXIO) {
		return irq;
	} else if (irq >= 0) {
		... setup irq operation ...
	} else { /* irq == -ENXIO */
		... setup polling ...
	}

which isn't a win. When changing the return value as you suggest, it can
be changed instead to:

	irq = platform_get_irq_optional(...);
	if (irq < 0) {
		return irq;
	} else if (irq > 0) {
		... setup irq operation ...
	} else { /* irq == 0 */
		... setup polling ...
	}

which is a tad nicer. If that is your goal however I ask you to also
change the semantic of platform_get_irq() to return 0 on "not found".
Note the win is considerably less compared to gpiod_get_optional vs
gpiod_get however. And then it still lacks the semantic of a dummy irq
which IMHO forfeits the right to call it ..._optional().

Now I'm unwilling to continue the discussion unless there pops up a
suggestion that results in a considerable part (say > 10%) of the
drivers using platform_get_irq_optional not having to check if the
return value corresponds to "not found".

Uwe

Please don't make that change. If platform_get_irq() would return 0 on
"not found", all existing users have to be changed to:

        irq = platform_get_irq(...);
        if (irq < 0) {
                return irq;
        } else if (!irq) {
                return -ENOENT;
        } else {
                ... setup irq operation ...
        }

If the IRQ is not optional, there should be an error code when it is
not present. This keeps error handling simple.

The _optional() difference lies in the zero/NULL vs. error code in
case of not present.

Please don't make that change. If platform_get_irq() would return 0 on
"not found", all existing users have to be changed to:

        irq = platform_get_irq(...);
        if (irq < 0) {
                return irq;
        } else if (!irq) {
                return -ENOENT;
        } else {
                ... setup irq operation ...
        }

If the IRQ is not optional, there should be an error code when it is
not present. This keeps error handling simple.

The _optional() difference lies in the zero/NULL vs. error code in
case of not present.

Usually drivers do have to check if the interrupt was present or
not, because they may have to change the operation of the driver,
depending on interrupt-based or timer/polling-based processing.

Clocks, regulators, and resets are different, as their absence is
really a no-op.  The absence of an interrupt is not a no-op (except
for the separate interrupts vs. a single muxed interrupt case).

    Well, I'm not totally opposed to that... but would there be a considerable win?
Anyway, we should 1st stop returning 0 for "valid" IRQs -- this is done by my patch
the discussed patch series are atop of.

   Note that many actual drivers don't follow the pattern prescribed in the comment to
platform_get_irq_optional() and their check for an optional IRQ look like irq < 0
(and, after my patches, irq <= 0). Maybe we shouldn't even bother returning the error
codes and just return 0 for all kinds of misfortunes instead? :-)

    Well, I'm not totally opposed to that... but would there be a considerable win?
Anyway, we should 1st stop returning 0 for "valid" IRQs -- this is done by my patch
the discussed patch series are atop of.

calls (and get an even larger CC list ;-)).

   Not quite grasping it... Why e.g. clk_get() doesn't return 0 for a not found clock?

   Note that many actual drivers don't follow the pattern prescribed in the comment to
platform_get_irq_optional() and their check for an optional IRQ look like irq < 0
(and, after my patches, irq <= 0). Maybe we shouldn't even bother returning the error
codes and just return 0 for all kinds of misfortunes instead? :-)

The similarity is that with your patch both gpiod_get_optional() and
platform_get_irq_optional() return NULL and 0 on not-found. The relevant
difference however is that for a gpiod NULL is a dummy value, while for
irqs it's not. So the similarity is only syntactically, but not
semantically.

Well, compared to your suggestion of making platform_get_irq_optional()
return 0 on "not-found" the considerable win would be that
platform_get_irq_optional() and platform_get_irq() are not different
just because platform_get_irq() is to hard to change.

You got me wrong here. I meant that even if you change both
platform_get_irq() and platform_get_irq_optional() to return 0 on
"not-found", the win is small compared to the benefit of having both
clk_get() and clk_get_optional().

Because NULL is not an error value for clk and when calling clk_get()
you want a failure when the clk you asked for isn't available.

Sure you could do the following in a case where you want to insist the
clk to be actually available:

	clk = clk_get_optional(...)
	if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(clk)) {
		err = PTR_ERR(clk) || -ENODEV;
		return dev_err_probe(dev, err, ....);
	}

but this is more ugly than

	clk = clk_get(...)
	if (IS_ERR(clk)) {
		err = PTR_ERR(clk);
		return dev_err_probe(dev, err, ....);
	}

Additionally the first usage would hard-code in the drivers that NULL is
the dummy value which you might want to consider a layer violation.

You have to understand that for clk (and regulator and gpiod) NULL is a
valid descriptor that can actually be used, it just has no effect. So
this is a convenience value for the case "If the clk/regulator/gpiod in
question isn't available, there is nothing to do". This is what makes
clk_get_optional() and the others really useful and justifies their
existence. This doesn't apply to platform_get_irq_optional().

So clk_get() is sane and sensible for cases where you need the clk to be
there. It doesn't emit an error message, because the caller knows better
if it's worth an error message and in some cases the caller can also
emit a better error message than clk_get() itself.

clk_get_optional() is sane and sensible for cases where the clk might be
absent and it helps you because you don't have to differentiate between
"not found" and "there is an actual resource".

The reason for platform_get_irq_optional()'s existence is just that
platform_get_irq() emits an error message which is wrong or suboptimal
in some cases (and IMHO is platform_get_irq() root fault). It doesn't
simplify handling the "not found" case. So let's not pretend by the
choice of function names that there is a similarity between clk_get() +
clk_get_optional() and platform_get_irq() + platform_get_irq_optional().

And as you cannot change platform_get_irq_optional() to return a working
dummy value, IMHO the only sane way out is renaming it.

Uwe

Well, compared to your suggestion of making platform_get_irq_optional()
return 0 on "not-found" the considerable win would be that
platform_get_irq_optional() and platform_get_irq() are not different
just because platform_get_irq() is to hard to change.

You got me wrong here. I meant that even if you change both
platform_get_irq() and platform_get_irq_optional() to return 0 on
"not-found", the win is small compared to the benefit of having both
clk_get() and clk_get_optional().

Because NULL is not an error value for clk and when calling clk_get()
you want a failure when the clk you asked for isn't available.

Sure you could do the following in a case where you want to insist the
clk to be actually available:

	clk = clk_get_optional(...)
	if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(clk)) {
		err = PTR_ERR(clk) || -ENODEV;
		return dev_err_probe(dev, err, ....);
	}

but this is more ugly than

	clk = clk_get(...)
	if (IS_ERR(clk)) {
		err = PTR_ERR(clk);
		return dev_err_probe(dev, err, ....);
	}

Additionally the first usage would hard-code in the drivers that NULL is
the dummy value which you might want to consider a layer violation.

You have to understand that for clk (and regulator and gpiod) NULL is a
valid descriptor that can actually be used, it just has no effect. So
this is a convenience value for the case "If the clk/regulator/gpiod in
question isn't available, there is nothing to do". This is what makes
clk_get_optional() and the others really useful and justifies their
existence. This doesn't apply to platform_get_irq_optional().

So clk_get() is sane and sensible for cases where you need the clk to be
there. It doesn't emit an error message, because the caller knows better
if it's worth an error message and in some cases the caller can also
emit a better error message than clk_get() itself.

clk_get_optional() is sane and sensible for cases where the clk might be
absent and it helps you because you don't have to differentiate between
"not found" and "there is an actual resource".

The reason for platform_get_irq_optional()'s existence is just that
platform_get_irq() emits an error message which is wrong or suboptimal
in some cases (and IMHO is platform_get_irq() root fault). It doesn't
simplify handling the "not found" case. So let's not pretend by the
choice of function names that there is a similarity between clk_get() +
clk_get_optional() and platform_get_irq() + platform_get_irq_optional().

And as you cannot change platform_get_irq_optional() to return a working
dummy value, IMHO the only sane way out is renaming it.

The similarity is that with your patch both gpiod_get_optional() and
platform_get_irq_optional() return NULL and 0 on not-found. The relevant
difference however is that for a gpiod NULL is a dummy value, while for
irqs it's not. So the similarity is only syntactically, but not
semantically.

   They would really be the same function if we do that. But...

   It's not just that, of course. If you make platform_get_irq() return 0
ISO -ENXIO, you'd have to add the handling of that 0 to all the callers,
and that won't be as simple as:

   Unfortunately, we don't have a single layer in case of IRQs... There's
no platform_request_irq() (yet? :-)).

   I do understand that. However, IRQs are a different beast with their

   I haven't been thinking about the IRQ error messages at all (yet?)...
And when I start thinking about it, it doesn't seem that bad, perhaps
even saves a lot of the .rodata section... :-)

   I think you are very wrong here. The real reason is to simplify the
callers.

   Oh, it does... you don't have to special-case 0 when handling its result.
In my book, it's a major simplification.

   It's not just that, of course. If you make platform_get_irq() return 0
ISO -ENXIO, you'd have to add the handling of that 0 to all the callers,
and that won't be as simple as:

	if (irq < 0)
		return irq;

since we can't just propagate 0 upstream, we'd have to return something like
-ENXIO (or whatever error we see fit). Does that really scale well?

   It's not just that, of course. If you make platform_get_irq() return 0
ISO -ENXIO, you'd have to add the handling of that 0 to all the callers,
and that won't be as simple as:

	if (irq < 0)
		return irq;

since we can't just propagate 0 upstream, we'd have to return something like
-ENXIO (or whatever error we see fit). Does that really scale well?

   Unfortunately, we don't have a single layer in case of IRQs... There's
no platform_request_irq() (yet? :-)).

   I do understand that. However, IRQs are a different beast with their

   I haven't been thinking about the IRQ error messages at all (yet?)...
And when I start thinking about it, it doesn't seem that bad, perhaps
even saves a lot of the .rodata section... :-)

   Oh, it does... you don't have to special-case 0 when handling its result.
In my book, it's a major simplification.

Indeed.

Even for clocks, you cannot assume that you can always blindly use
the returned dummy (actually a NULL pointer) to call into the clk
API.  While this works fine for simple use cases, where you just
want to enable/disable an optional clock (clk_prepare_enable() and
clk_disable_unprepare()), it does not work for more complex use cases.

Consider a device with multiple clock inputs, some of them optional,
where the device driver has to find, select and configure a suitable
clock to operate at a certain clock frequency. The driver can call
clk_get_rate(NULL) fine, but will always receive a zero rate, so it
has to check for this (regardless of this being a dummy clock or not,
because this could be an unpopulated clock crystal, which would be
described in DT as a (present) fixed-rate clock with clock-frequency
= <0>).
For configuring the clock rate, the driver does need to check
explicitly for the presence of a dummy clock, as clk_set_rate(NULL,
rate) returns 0 ("success"), while obviously it didn't do anything,
and thus configuring the device to use that clock would cause breakage.

You can check if the clock is a real clock or a dummy using
"if (clk) ...".
And you'd use the same pattern with platform_irq_get_optional() if it
would return 0 if the IRQ was not found: "if (irq) ...".

Indeed.

Even for clocks, you cannot assume that you can always blindly use
the returned dummy (actually a NULL pointer) to call into the clk
API.  While this works fine for simple use cases, where you just
want to enable/disable an optional clock (clk_prepare_enable() and
clk_disable_unprepare()), it does not work for more complex use cases.

Consider a device with multiple clock inputs, some of them optional,
where the device driver has to find, select and configure a suitable
clock to operate at a certain clock frequency. The driver can call
clk_get_rate(NULL) fine, but will always receive a zero rate, so it
has to check for this (regardless of this being a dummy clock or not,
because this could be an unpopulated clock crystal, which would be
described in DT as a (present) fixed-rate clock with clock-frequency
= <0>).
For configuring the clock rate, the driver does need to check
explicitly for the presence of a dummy clock, as clk_set_rate(NULL,
rate) returns 0 ("success"), while obviously it didn't do anything,
and thus configuring the device to use that clock would cause breakage.

You can check if the clock is a real clock or a dummy using
"if (clk) ...".
And you'd use the same pattern with platform_irq_get_optional() if it
would return 0 if the IRQ was not found: "if (irq) ...".

The commit that introduced platform_get_irq_optional() said:

	Introduce a new platform_get_irq_optional() that works much like
	platform_get_irq() but does not output an error on failure to
	find the interrupt.

So the author of 8973ea47901c81a1912bd05f1577bed9b5b52506 failed to
mention the real reason? Or look at
31a8d8fa84c51d3ab00bf059158d5de6178cf890:

	[...] use platform_get_irq_optional() to get second/third IRQ
	which are optional to avoid below error message during probe:
	[...]

Look through the output of

	git log -Splatform_get_irq_optional

to find several more of these.

Also I fail to see how a caller of (today's) platform_get_irq_optional()
is simpler than a caller of platform_get_irq() given that there is no
semantic difference between the two. Please show me a single
conversion from platform_get_irq to platform_get_irq_optional that
yielded a simplification.

So you need some more effort to convince me of your POV.

Agreed. But for clks and gpiods and regulators the simple case is quite
usual. For irqs it isn't.

And if you cannot blindly use the dummy, then you're not the targetted
caller of *_get_optional() and should better use *_get() and handle
-ENODEV explicitly.

Commit 8973ea47901c81a1 ("driver core: platform: Introduce
platform_get_irq_optional()") and the various fixups fixed the ugly
printing of error messages that were not applicable.
In hindsight, probably commit 7723f4c5ecdb8d83 ("driver core:
platform: Add an error message to platform_get_irq*()") should have
been reverted instead, until a platform_get_irq_optional() with proper
semantics was introduced.  But as we were all in a hurry to kill
the non-applicable error message, we went for the quick and dirty fix.

That's exactly why we want to change the latter to return 0 ;-)

It is for devices that can have either separate interrupts, or a single
multiplexed interrupt.

The logic in e.g. drivers/tty/serial/sh-sci.c and
drivers/spi/spi-rspi.c could be simplified and improved (currently
it doesn't handle deferred probe) if platform_get_irq_optional()
would return 0 instead of -ENXIO.

No, because the janitors tend to consolidate error message handling,
by moving the printing up, inside the *_get() methods.  That's exactly
what happened here.

Commit 8973ea47901c81a1 ("driver core: platform: Introduce
platform_get_irq_optional()") and the various fixups fixed the ugly
printing of error messages that were not applicable.
In hindsight, probably commit 7723f4c5ecdb8d83 ("driver core:
platform: Add an error message to platform_get_irq*()") should have
been reverted instead, until a platform_get_irq_optional() with proper
semantics was introduced.  But as we were all in a hurry to kill
the non-applicable error message, we went for the quick and dirty fix.

That's exactly why we want to change the latter to return 0 ;-)

It is for devices that can have either separate interrupts, or a single
multiplexed interrupt.

The logic in e.g. drivers/tty/serial/sh-sci.c and
drivers/spi/spi-rspi.c could be simplified and improved (currently
it doesn't handle deferred probe) if platform_get_irq_optional()
would return 0 instead of -ENXIO.

No, because the janitors tend to consolidate error message handling,
by moving the printing up, inside the *_get() methods.  That's exactly
what happened here.

OK. So you agree to my statement "The reason for
platform_get_irq_optional()'s existence is just that platform_get_irq()
emits an error message [...]". Actually you don't want to oppose but
say: It's unfortunate that the silent variant of platform_get_irq() took
the obvious name of a function that could have an improved return code
semantic.

So my suggestion to rename todays platform_get_irq_optional() to
platform_get_irq_silently() and then introducing
platform_get_irq_optional() with your suggested semantic seems
intriguing and straigt forward to me.

Another thought: platform_get_irq emits an error message for all
problems. Wouldn't it be consistent to let platform_get_irq_optional()
emit an error message for all problems but "not found"?
Alternatively remove the error printk from platform_get_irq().

Looking at sh-sci.c the irq handling logic could be improved even
without a changed platform_get_irq_optional():

Preferably first simplify in-driver logic to make the conversion to the

This is in my eyes the root cause of the issues at hand. Moving the
error message handling into a get function is only right for most of the
callers. So the more conservative approach would be to introduce a noisy
variant of the get function and convert all users that benefit
separately while the unreviewed callers and those that don't want an
error message can happily continue to use the silent variant.

I don't agree to (a). If the value signaling not-found is -ENXIO or 0
(or -ENODEV) doesn't matter much. I wouldn't deviate from the return
code semantics of platform_get_irq() just for having to check against 0
instead of -ENXIO. Zero is then just another magic value.
(c) still has to be proven, see above.

Yes, it fixed (b) and picked a bad name for that.

OK. So you agree to my statement "The reason for
platform_get_irq_optional()'s existence is just that platform_get_irq()
emits an error message [...]". Actually you don't want to oppose but
say: It's unfortunate that the silent variant of platform_get_irq() took
the obvious name of a function that could have an improved return code
semantic.

So my suggestion to rename todays platform_get_irq_optional() to
platform_get_irq_silently() and then introducing
platform_get_irq_optional() with your suggested semantic seems
intriguing and straigt forward to me.

Another thought: platform_get_irq emits an error message for all
problems. Wouldn't it be consistent to let platform_get_irq_optional()
emit an error message for all problems but "not found"?
Alternatively remove the error printk from platform_get_irq().

Looking at sh-sci.c the irq handling logic could be improved even
without a changed platform_get_irq_optional():

Preferably first simplify in-driver logic to make the conversion to the

This is in my eyes the root cause of the issues at hand. Moving the
error message handling into a get function is only right for most of the
callers. So the more conservative approach would be to introduce a noisy
variant of the get function and convert all users that benefit
separately while the unreviewed callers and those that don't want an
error message can happily continue to use the silent variant.

I don't agree to (a). If the value signaling not-found is -ENXIO or 0
(or -ENODEV) doesn't matter much. I wouldn't deviate from the return
code semantics of platform_get_irq() just for having to check against 0
instead of -ENXIO. Zero is then just another magic value.
(c) still has to be proven, see above.

Yes, it fixed (b) and picked a bad name for that.

I don't really see the point of needing platform_get_irq_silently(),
unless as an intermediary step, where it's going to be removed again
once the conversion has completed.
Still, the rename would touch all users at once anyway.

Yeah, it's ugly and convoluted, like the wide set of hardware the
driver supports.

I like it when the "if (ret < ) ..." error handling is the first check to do.
With -ENXIO, it becomes more convoluted. and looks less nice (IMHO).

So I have to choose between

    if (ret < 0 && ret != -ENXIO)
            return ret;

    if (ret) {
            ...
    }

and

    if (ret == -ENXIO) {
            ...
    } else if (ret < 0)
            return ret;
    }

with the final target being

    if (ret < 0)
            return ret;

    if (ret) {
            ...
    }

So the first option means the final change is smaller, but it looks less
nice than the second option (IMHO).
But the second option means more churn.

Zero is a natural magic value (also for pointers).
Errors are always negative.
Positive values are cookies (or pointers) associated with success.

I don't really see the point of needing platform_get_irq_silently(),
unless as an intermediary step, where it's going to be removed again
once the conversion has completed.
Still, the rename would touch all users at once anyway.

Yeah, it's ugly and convoluted, like the wide set of hardware the

I like it when the "if (ret < ) ..." error handling is the first check to do.
With -ENXIO, it becomes more convoluted. and looks less nice (IMHO).

So I have to choose between

    if (ret < 0 && ret != -ENXIO)
            return ret;

    if (ret) {
            ...
    }

and

    if (ret == -ENXIO) {
            ...
    } else if (ret < 0)
            return ret;
    }

with the final target being

    if (ret < 0)
            return ret;

    if (ret) {
            ...
    }

So the first option means the final change is smaller, but it looks less
nice than the second option (IMHO).
But the second option means more churn.

Zero is a natural magic value (also for pointers).
Errors are always negative.
Positive values are cookies (or pointers) associated with success.

I don't really see the point of needing platform_get_irq_silently(),
unless as an intermediary step, where it's going to be removed again
once the conversion has completed.
Still, the rename would touch all users at once anyway.

Yeah, it's ugly and convoluted, like the wide set of hardware the
driver supports.

I like it when the "if (ret < ) ..." error handling is the first check to do.
With -ENXIO, it becomes more convoluted. and looks less nice (IMHO).

So I have to choose between

    if (ret < 0 && ret != -ENXIO)
            return ret;

    if (ret) {
            ...
    }

and

    if (ret == -ENXIO) {
            ...
    } else if (ret < 0)
            return ret;
    }

with the final target being

    if (ret < 0)
            return ret;

    if (ret) {
            ...
    }

So the first option means the final change is smaller, but it looks less
nice than the second option (IMHO).
But the second option means more churn.

Zero is a natural magic value (also for pointers).
Errors are always negative.
Positive values are cookies (or pointers) associated with success.

We agree that one of the two functions is enough, just differ in which
of the two we want to have. :-)

If you think platform_get_irq_silently() is a good intermediate step for
your goal, then we agree to rename platform_get_irq_optional(). So I
suggest you ack my patch.

> Still, the rename would touch all users at once anyway.

It would be more easy to keep the conversion regression-free however. A
plain rename is simple to verify. And then converting to the new
platform_get_irq_optional() can be done individually and without the
need to do everything in a single step.

If you want to make platform_get_irq and its optional variant more
similar to the others, dropping the error message is the way to go.

This is not a simplification, just looking at the line count and the
added gotos. That's because it also improves error handling and so the
effect isn't easily spotted.

That's a relevant difference between us.

I would do the latter, then it's in the normal order for error handling

	handle some specific errors;
	forward unhandled errors up the stack;
	handle success;

but it seems you prefer to not call "not found" an error. Actually I
think it's an advantage that the driver has to mention -ENXIO, feels
like proper error handling to me. I guess we won't agree about that
though.

What about the following idea (in pythonic pseudo code for simplicity):

	# the rspi device either has two irqs, one for rx and one for
	# tx, or a single one for both together.

	def muxed_hander(irq):
		status = readl(STATUS)
		if status & IF_RX:
			rx_handler()
		if status & IF_TX:
			tx_handler()

	def probe_muxed_irq():
		irq = platform_get_irq_by_name("mux")
		if irq < 0:
			return irq;

		request_irq(irq, muxed_handler)

	def probe_separate_irqs():
		txirq = platform_get_irq_by_name("tx")
		if txirq < 0:
			return txirq

		rxirq = platform_get_irq_by_name("rx")
		if rxirq < 0:
			return rxirq

		request_irq(txirq, tx_handler)
		request_irq(rxirq, rx_handler)

	def probe():
		ret = probe_separate_irqs()
		if ret == -ENXIO:
			ret = probe_muxed_irq()

		if ret < 0:
			return ret

looks clean (to me that is) and allows to skip the demuxing in
tx_handler and rx_handler (which might or might not yield improved
runtime behaviour). Maybe a bit more verbose, but simpler to grasp for a
human, isn't it?

Yeah, the issue where we don't agree is if "not-found" is special enough
to deserve the natural magic value. For me -ENXIO is magic enough to
handle the absence of an irq line. I consider it even the better magic
value.

This is not a simplification, just looking at the line count and the
added gotos. That's because it also improves error handling and so the
effect isn't easily spotted.

That's a relevant difference between us.

I would do the latter, then it's in the normal order for error handling

	handle some specific errors;
	forward unhandled errors up the stack;
	handle success;

but it seems you prefer to not call "not found" an error. Actually I
think it's an advantage that the driver has to mention -ENXIO, feels
like proper error handling to me. I guess we won't agree about that
though.

What about the following idea (in pythonic pseudo code for simplicity):

	# the rspi device either has two irqs, one for rx and one for
	# tx, or a single one for both together.

	def muxed_hander(irq):
		status = readl(STATUS)
		if status & IF_RX:
			rx_handler()
		if status & IF_TX:
			tx_handler()

	def probe_muxed_irq():
		irq = platform_get_irq_by_name("mux")
		if irq < 0:
			return irq;

		request_irq(irq, muxed_handler)

	def probe_separate_irqs():
		txirq = platform_get_irq_by_name("tx")
		if txirq < 0:
			return txirq

		rxirq = platform_get_irq_by_name("rx")
		if rxirq < 0:
			return rxirq

		request_irq(txirq, tx_handler)
		request_irq(rxirq, rx_handler)

	def probe():
		ret = probe_separate_irqs()
		if ret == -ENXIO:
			ret = probe_muxed_irq()

		if ret < 0:
			return ret

looks clean (to me that is) and allows to skip the demuxing in
tx_handler and rx_handler (which might or might not yield improved
runtime behaviour). Maybe a bit more verbose, but simpler to grasp for a
human, isn't it?

Yeah, the issue where we don't agree is if "not-found" is special enough
to deserve the natural magic value. For me -ENXIO is magic enough to
handle the absence of an irq line. I consider it even the better magic
value.

We agree that one of the two functions is enough, just differ in which
of the two we want to have. :-)

If you think platform_get_irq_silently() is a good intermediate step for
your goal, then we agree to rename platform_get_irq_optional(). So I
suggest you ack my patch.

> Still, the rename would touch all users at once anyway.

It would be more easy to keep the conversion regression-free however. A
plain rename is simple to verify. And then converting to the new
platform_get_irq_optional() can be done individually and without the
need to do everything in a single step.

If you want to make platform_get_irq and its optional variant more
similar to the others, dropping the error message is the way to go.

We agree that one of the two functions is enough, just differ in which
of the two we want to have. :-)

If you think platform_get_irq_silently() is a good intermediate step for
your goal, then we agree to rename platform_get_irq_optional(). So I
suggest you ack my patch.

> Still, the rename would touch all users at once anyway.

It would be more easy to keep the conversion regression-free however. A
plain rename is simple to verify. And then converting to the new
platform_get_irq_optional() can be done individually and without the
need to do everything in a single step.

If you want to make platform_get_irq and its optional variant more
similar to the others, dropping the error message is the way to go.

This is not a simplification, just looking at the line count and the
added gotos. That's because it also improves error handling and so the
effect isn't easily spotted.

That's a relevant difference between us.

I would do the latter, then it's in the normal order for error handling

	handle some specific errors;
	forward unhandled errors up the stack;
	handle success;

but it seems you prefer to not call "not found" an error. Actually I
think it's an advantage that the driver has to mention -ENXIO, feels
like proper error handling to me. I guess we won't agree about that
though.

What about the following idea (in pythonic pseudo code for simplicity):

	# the rspi device either has two irqs, one for rx and one for
	# tx, or a single one for both together.

	def muxed_hander(irq):
		status = readl(STATUS)
		if status & IF_RX:
			rx_handler()
		if status & IF_TX:
			tx_handler()

	def probe_muxed_irq():
		irq = platform_get_irq_by_name("mux")
		if irq < 0:
			return irq;

		request_irq(irq, muxed_handler)

	def probe_separate_irqs():
		txirq = platform_get_irq_by_name("tx")
		if txirq < 0:
			return txirq

		rxirq = platform_get_irq_by_name("rx")
		if rxirq < 0:
			return rxirq

		request_irq(txirq, tx_handler)
		request_irq(rxirq, rx_handler)

	def probe():
		ret = probe_separate_irqs()
		if ret == -ENXIO:
			ret = probe_muxed_irq()

		if ret < 0:
			return ret

looks clean (to me that is) and allows to skip the demuxing in
tx_handler and rx_handler (which might or might not yield improved
runtime behaviour). Maybe a bit more verbose, but simpler to grasp for a
human, isn't it?

Yeah, the issue where we don't agree is if "not-found" is special enough
to deserve the natural magic value. For me -ENXIO is magic enough to
handle the absence of an irq line. I consider it even the better magic
value.

This is not a simplification, just looking at the line count and the
added gotos. That's because it also improves error handling and so the
effect isn't easily spotted.

I would do the latter, then it's in the normal order for error handling

	handle some specific errors;
	forward unhandled errors up the stack;
	handle success;

but it seems you prefer to not call "not found" an error. Actually I
think it's an advantage that the driver has to mention -ENXIO, feels
like proper error handling to me. I guess we won't agree about that
though.

What about the following idea (in pythonic pseudo code for simplicity):

	# the rspi device either has two irqs, one for rx and one for
	# tx, or a single one for both together.

	def muxed_hander(irq):
		status = readl(STATUS)
		if status & IF_RX:
			rx_handler()
		if status & IF_TX:
			tx_handler()

	def probe_muxed_irq():
		irq = platform_get_irq_by_name("mux")
		if irq < 0:
			return irq;

		request_irq(irq, muxed_handler)

	def probe_separate_irqs():
		txirq = platform_get_irq_by_name("tx")
		if txirq < 0:
			return txirq

		rxirq = platform_get_irq_by_name("rx")
		if rxirq < 0:
			return rxirq

		request_irq(txirq, tx_handler)
		request_irq(rxirq, rx_handler)

	def probe():
		ret = probe_separate_irqs()
		if ret == -ENXIO:
			ret = probe_muxed_irq()

		if ret < 0:
			return ret

looks clean (to me that is) and allows to skip the demuxing in
tx_handler and rx_handler (which might or might not yield improved
runtime behaviour). Maybe a bit more verbose, but simpler to grasp for a
human, isn't it?

Yeah, the issue where we don't agree is if "not-found" is special enough
to deserve the natural magic value. For me -ENXIO is magic enough to
handle the absence of an irq line. I consider it even the better magic
value.

It differs from other subsystems (clk, gpio, reset), which do return
zero on not found.
What's the point in having *_optional() APIs if they just return the
same values as the non-optional ones?

IMHO it doesn't matter at all that the return value is zero, relevant is
the semantic of the returned value. For clk, gpio, reset and regulator
NULL is a usable dummy, for irqs it's not. So what you do with the value
returned by platform_get_irq_whatever() is: you compare it with the
(magic?) not-found value, and if it matches, you enter a suitable
if-block.

For the (clk|gpiod|regulator)_get_optional() you don't have to check
against the magic not-found value (so no implementation detail magic
leaks into the caller code) and just pass it to the next API function.
(And my expectation would be that if you chose to represent not-found by
(void *)66 instead of NULL, you won't have to adapt any user, just the
framework internal checks. This is a good thing!)

> What's the point in having *_optional() APIs if they just return the
> same values as the non-optional ones?

The upside is that functions with a similar name have similar semantics.
But I agree, having platform_get_irq_optional() with the same return
value for not-found is bad. Changing the return semantic is only one way
to cope with that, renaming such the actual semantic difference is
obvious from the function name is another (IMHO better one).

Uwe

IMHO it doesn't matter at all that the return value is zero, relevant is
the semantic of the returned value. For clk, gpio, reset and regulator
NULL is a usable dummy, for irqs it's not. So what you do with the value
returned by platform_get_irq_whatever() is: you compare it with the
(magic?) not-found value, and if it matches, you enter a suitable
if-block.

For the (clk|gpiod|regulator)_get_optional() you don't have to check
against the magic not-found value (so no implementation detail magic
leaks into the caller code) and just pass it to the next API function.
(And my expectation would be that if you chose to represent not-found by
(void *)66 instead of NULL, you won't have to adapt any user, just the
framework internal checks. This is a good thing!)

The upside is that functions with a similar name have similar semantics.
But I agree, having platform_get_irq_optional() with the same return
value for not-found is bad. Changing the return semantic is only one way
to cope with that, renaming such the actual semantic difference is
obvious from the function name is another (IMHO better one).

Ah, there is the wrong assumption: drivers sometimes do need to know
if the resource was found, and thus do need to know about (void *)66,
-ENODEV, or -ENXIO.  I already gave examples for IRQ and clk before.
I can imagine these exist for gpiod and regulator, too, as soon as
you go beyond the trivial "enable" and "disable" use-cases.

(Inconsistent) Error codes are not, as missing optional resources
are not error conditions.

Ah, there is the wrong assumption: drivers sometimes do need to know
if the resource was found, and thus do need to know about (void *)66,
-ENODEV, or -ENXIO.  I already gave examples for IRQ and clk before.
I can imagine these exist for gpiod and regulator, too, as soon as
you go beyond the trivial "enable" and "disable" use-cases.

(Inconsistent) Error codes are not, as missing optional resources
are not error conditions.

My premise is that every user who has to check for "not found"
explicitly should not use (clk|gpiod)_get_optional() but
(clk|gpiod)_get() and do proper (and explicit) error handling for
-ENODEV. (clk|gpiod)_get_optional() is only for these trivial use-cases.

> And 0/NULL vs. > 0 is the natural check here: missing, but not
> an error.

For me it it 100% irrelevant if "not found" is an error for the query
function or not. I just have to be able to check for "not found" and
react accordingly.

And adding a function

	def platform_get_irq_opional():
		ret = platform_get_irq()
		if ret == -ENXIO:
			return 0
		return ret

it's not a useful addition to the API if I cannot use 0 as a dummy
because it doesn't simplify the caller enough to justify the additional
function.

The only thing I need to be able is to distinguish the cases "there is
an irq", "there is no irq" and anything else is "there is a problem I
cannot handle and so forward it to my caller". The semantic of
platform_get_irq() is able to satisfy this requirement[1], so why introduce
platform_get_irq_opional() for the small advantage that I can check for
not-found using

	if (!irq)

instead of

	if (irq != -ENXIO)

? The semantic of platform_get_irq() is easier ("Either a usable
non-negative irq number or a negative error number") compared to
platform_get_irq_optional() ("Either a usable positive irq number or a
negative error number or 0 meaning not found"). Usage of
platform_get_irq() isn't harder or more expensive (neither for a human
reader nor for a maching running the resulting compiled code).
For a human reader

	if (irq != -ENXIO)

is even easier to understand because for

	if (!irq)

they have to check where the value comes from, see it's
platform_get_irq_optional() and understand that 0 means not-found.

This function just adds overhead because as a irq framework user I have
to understand another function. For me the added benefit is too small to
justify the additional function. And you break out-of-tree drivers.
These are all no major counter arguments, but as the advantage isn't
major either, they still matter.

Uwe

Or a single function not emitting an error message together with the
callers being responsible for calling dev_err().

So the options in my preference order (first is best) are:

 - Remove the printk from platform_get_irq() and remove
   platform_get_irq_optional();

 - Rename platform_get_irq_optional() to platform_get_irq_silently()

 - Keep platform_get_irq_optional() as is

 - Collect underpants

 - Change semantic of platform_get_irq_optional()

   ACK for using dev_err_probe() in platfrom_get_irq_optional()
for the real errors...
   I've also noted that only platfrom_get_irq_optional() got converted
from dev_err() to dev_err_probe() but not platfrom_get_irq_byname_optional()...

   Note that we should absolutely (and first of all) stop returning 0 from platform_get_irq()
on a "real" IRQ0. Handling that "still good" zero absolutely doesn't scale e.g. for the subsystems
(like libata) which take 0 as an indication that the polling mode should be used... We can't afford
to be sloppy here. ;-)

Then maybe do that really first? I didn't recheck, but is this what the
driver changes in your patch is about?

After some more thoughts I wonder if your focus isn't to align
platform_get_irq_optional to (clk|gpiod|regulator)_get_optional, but to
simplify return code checking. Because with your change we have:

 - < 0 -> error
 - == 0 -> no irq
 - > 0 -> irq

For my part I'd say this doesn't justify the change, but at least I
could better life with the reasoning. If you start at:

	irq = platform_get_irq_optional(...)
	if (irq < 0 && irq != -ENXIO)
		return irq
	else if (irq > 0)
		setup_irq(irq);
	else
		setup_polling()

I'd change that to

	irq = platform_get_irq_optional(...)
	if (irq > 0) /* or >= 0 ? */
		setup_irq(irq)
	else if (irq == -ENXIO)
		setup_polling()
	else
		return irq

This still has to mention -ENXIO, but this is ok and checking for 0 just
hardcodes a different return value.

Anyhow, I think if you still want to change platform_get_irq_optional
you should add a few patches converting some drivers which demonstrates
the improvement for the callers.

   I think comparing with 0 is simpler (and shorter) than with -ENXIO, if you

Hmm, I don't know MIPS good enough to judge. So I created a small C
file:

	$ cat test.c
	#include <errno.h>

	int platform_get_irq_optional(void);
	void a(void);

With some cross compilers as provided by Debian doing

I somehow expected that the changes that are now necessary (or possible)
to callers makes them prettier somehow. Looking at your patch again:

 - drivers/counter/interrupt-cnt.c
   This one is strange in my eyes because it tests the return value of
   gpiod_get_optional against NULL :-(

 - drivers/edac/xgene_edac.c
   This one just wants a silent irq lookup and then throws away the
   error code returned by platform_get_irq_optional() to return -EINVAL.
   Not so nice, is it?

 - drivers/gpio/gpio-altera.c
   This one just wants a silent irq lookup. And maybe it should only
   goto skip_irq if the irq was not found, but on an other error code
   abort the probe?!

 - drivers/gpio/gpio-mvebu.c
   Similar to gpio-altera.c: Wants a silent irq and improved error
   handling.

 - drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-brcmstb.c
   A bit ugly that we now have dev->irq == 0 if the irq isn't available,
   but if requesting the irq failed irq = -1 is used?

 - drivers/mmc/host/sh_mmcif.c
   Broken error handling. This one wants to abort on irq[1] < 0 (with
   your changed semantic).

I stopped here.

It seems quite common that drivers assume a value < 0 returned by
platform_get_irq means not-found and don't care for -EPROBE_DEFER (what
else can happen?) Changing a relevant function in that mess seems
unfortunate here :-\

Hmm, I don't know MIPS good enough to judge. So I created a small C
file:

	$ cat test.c
	#include <errno.h>

	int platform_get_irq_optional(void);
	void a(void);

	int func_0()
	{
		int irq = platform_get_irq_optional();

		if (irq == 0)
			a();
	}

	int func_enxio()
	{
		int irq = platform_get_irq_optional();

		if (irq == -ENXIO)
			a();
	}

With some cross compilers as provided by Debian doing

	$CC -c -O3 test.c
	nm --size-sort test.o

I get:

  compiler			|  size of func_0  | size of func_enxio
================================+==================|====================
aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc		| 0000000000000024 | 0000000000000028

So you save some bytes indeed.

I somehow expected that the changes that are now necessary (or possible)
to callers makes them prettier somehow. Looking at your patch again:

 - drivers/counter/interrupt-cnt.c
   This one is strange in my eyes because it tests the return value of
   gpiod_get_optional against NULL :-(

 - drivers/edac/xgene_edac.c
   This one just wants a silent irq lookup and then throws away the
   error code returned by platform_get_irq_optional() to return -EINVAL.
   Not so nice, is it?

 - drivers/gpio/gpio-altera.c
   This one just wants a silent irq lookup. And maybe it should only
   goto skip_irq if the irq was not found, but on an other error code
   abort the probe?!

 - drivers/gpio/gpio-mvebu.c
   Similar to gpio-altera.c: Wants a silent irq and improved error
   handling.

 - drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-brcmstb.c
   A bit ugly that we now have dev->irq == 0 if the irq isn't available,
   but if requesting the irq failed irq = -1 is used?

 - drivers/mmc/host/sh_mmcif.c
   Broken error handling. This one wants to abort on irq[1] < 0 (with
   your changed semantic).

I stopped here.

It seems quite common that drivers assume a value < 0 returned by
platform_get_irq means not-found and don't care for -EPROBE_DEFER (what
else can happen?) Changing a relevant function in that mess seems
unfortunate here :-\

   Yes, they follow from the platform_get_irq_optional() changing the sense of its result...

   MIPS has read-only register 0 (containing 0 :-)) which should simplify things. But
I'd have to check the actual object code... yeah, MIPS has a branching instruction that
compares 2 registers and branches on the result'; with -ENXIO you'd have to load an
immediate value into a register first...

   Hm, 2 bytes only -- perhaps Thumb mode?

   That's even more than expected -- 64-bit mode used?

   MIPS has read-only register 0 (containing 0 :-)) which should simplify things. But
I'd have to check the actual object code... yeah, MIPS has a branching instruction that
compares 2 registers and branches on the result'; with -ENXIO you'd have to load an
immediate value into a register first...

   Yes, they follow from the platform_get_irq_optional() changing the sense of its result...

   MIPS has read-only register 0 (containing 0 :-)) which should simplify things. But
I'd have to check the actual object code... yeah, MIPS has a branching instruction that
compares 2 registers and branches on the result'; with -ENXIO you'd have to load an
immediate value into a register first...

It's what we are against of. The idea is to have

	irq = platform_get_irq_optional(...)
	if (irq < 0) // we do not care about special cookies here
		return irq;

	if (irq)
		setup_irq(irq)
	else
		setup_polling()

See the difference? Your code is convoluted.

Re: [PATCH 1/2] platform: make platform_get_irq_optional() optional (summary)

[Uwe Kleine-König]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3544 bytes --]

Hello,

I'm trying to objectively summarize the discussions in this thread in
the hope this helps finding a way that most people can live with.

First a description of the status quo:

There are several function pairs *get() and *get_optional() that however
are different in various aspects. Their relevant properties are listes
in the following table. Ideally each line had only identical entries.

					| clk_get		| gpiod_get		| platform_get_irq	| regulator_get		|
	return value			|			|			|			|			|
	on not-found			| ERR_PTR(-ENOENT)	| ERR_PTR(-ENOENT)	| -ENXIO		| dummy[1]		|
	(plain get)			|			|			|			|			|
					|			|			|			|			|
	return value			|			|			|			|			|
	on not-found			| dummy[1]		| dummy[1]		| -ENXIO		| ERR_PTR(-ENOENT)	|
	(get_optional)			|			|			|			|			|
					|			|			|			|			|
	emits an error message		|			|			|			|			|
	on error (including 		| no			| no			| yes[2]		| no			|
	not-found)			|			|			|			|			|
					|			|			|			|			|
	get_optional emits an error	|			|			|			|			|
	message on error (including	| no			| no			| no			| no			|
	not-found)			|			|			|			|			|
					|			|			|			|			|
	summary:			| returning a dummy	| returning a dummy	| doesn't emit an	| returning error code	|
	*_get_optional() differs from	| on not-found		| on not-found		| error message		| on not-found		|
	*_get by:			|			|			|			|			|


	[1] the dummy value is a valid resource descriptor, the API functions
	    are a noop for this dummy value. This dummy value is NULL for
	    all three subsystems.
	[2] no error is printed for -EPROBE_DEFER.

The inversion between clk+gpio vs. regulator is unforunate, swaping one
or the other would be good for consistency, but this isn't the topic of
this thread. Only so much: It's not agreed upon which variant is the
better one and the difference is of historical origin.

There are now different suggestions to improve the situation regarding
platform_get_irq() compared to the other functions:

a) by Sergey
   platform_get_irq_optional() is changed to return 0 on not-found.

b) by Uwe
   rename platform_get_irq_optional() to platform_get_irq_silent()

The argument pro a) is:

	platform_get_irq_optional() is aligned to clk_get() and
	gpiod_get() by returning 0 on not-found.

The argument contra a) 

	The return value 0 for platform_get_irq() is only syntactically
	nearer to the dummy value of clk_get() and gpiod_get(). A dummy
	value isn't available and probably not sensible to introduce for
	irq because most drivers have to check for the not-found
	situation anyhow to setup polling. 

The argument pro b) is:

	The relevant difference between platform_get_irq() and its
	optional variant is that the latter is silent. This is a
	different concept for the meaning of optional compared to the
	other *_get_optional().

The argument contra b) is:

	The chosen name is bad, because driver authors might wonder what
	a silent irq is.

---- end of summary
	
A possible compromise: We can have both. We rename
platform_get_irq_optional() to platform_get_irq_silent() (or
platform_get_irq_silently() if this is preferred) and once all users are
are changed (which can be done mechanically), we reintroduce a
platform_get_irq_optional() with Sergey's suggested semantic (i.e.
return 0 on not-found, no error message printking).

Best regards
Uwe

The inversion between clk+gpio vs. regulator is unforunate, swaping one
or the other would be good for consistency, but this isn't the topic of
this thread. Only so much: It's not agreed upon which variant is the
better one and the difference is of historical origin.

There are now different suggestions to improve the situation regarding
platform_get_irq() compared to the other functions:

a) by Sergey
   platform_get_irq_optional() is changed to return 0 on not-found.

b) by Uwe
   rename platform_get_irq_optional() to platform_get_irq_silent()

The argument pro a) is:

	platform_get_irq_optional() is aligned to clk_get() and
	gpiod_get() by returning 0 on not-found.

The argument contra a) 

	The return value 0 for platform_get_irq() is only syntactically
	nearer to the dummy value of clk_get() and gpiod_get(). A dummy
	value isn't available and probably not sensible to introduce for
	irq because most drivers have to check for the not-found
	situation anyhow to setup polling. 

The argument pro b) is:

	The relevant difference between platform_get_irq() and its
	optional variant is that the latter is silent. This is a
	different concept for the meaning of optional compared to the
	other *_get_optional().

The argument contra b) is:

	The chosen name is bad, because driver authors might wonder what
	a silent irq is.

---- end of summary
	
A possible compromise: We can have both. We rename
platform_get_irq_optional() to platform_get_irq_silent() (or
platform_get_irq_silently() if this is preferred) and once all users are
are changed (which can be done mechanically), we reintroduce a
platform_get_irq_optional() with Sergey's suggested semantic (i.e.
return 0 on not-found, no error message printking).

Best regards
Uwe

Please do not do that as anyone trying to forward-port an old driver
will miss the abi change of functionality and get confused.  Make
build-breaking changes, if the way a function currently works is
changed in order to give people a chance.

   Note to self: the cast to *int* isn't needed, the edu_irq field is *int* already...

I didn't think about what you mean with sloppy, but the code is
equivalent to

	if (bt_bmc->irq <= 0)
		return bt_bmc->irq;

_optinal isn't correct, _optional maybe is. :-)
Anyhow, look at e26124cd5f7099949109608845bba9e9bf96599c, the driver was
fixed not to print two error messages and the wrong option was picked.

Who would you expect to merge this? I would have expected Greg, but he

I didn't think about what you mean with sloppy, but the code is
equivalent to

	if (bt_bmc->irq <= 0)
		return bt_bmc->irq;

_optinal isn't correct, _optional maybe is. :-)
Anyhow, look at e26124cd5f7099949109608845bba9e9bf96599c, the driver was
fixed not to print two error messages and the wrong option was picked.

What's wrong here is that the return code is hardcoded ...

   I think this patch is wrong...

   This is what needed to be thrown overboard... :-)

  This is wrong as well -- kills the deferred probing. I have 2 separate patches
for this driver now... just need some time to get 'em ready...

[PATCH 2/2] platform: make platform_get_irq_byname_optional() optional

[Sergey Shtylyov]

Currently platform_get_irq_byname_optional() returns an error code even
if IRQ resource simply has not been found. It prevents the callers from
being error code agnostic in their error handling:

	ret = platform_get_irq_byname_optional(...);
	if (ret < 0 && ret != -ENXIO)
		return ret; // respect deferred probe
	if (ret > 0)
		...we get an IRQ...

All other *_optional() APIs seem to return 0 or NULL in case an optional
resource is not available. Let's follow this good example, so that the
callers would look like:

	ret = platform_get_irq_byname_optional(...);
	if (ret < 0)
		return ret;
	if (ret > 0)
		...we get an IRQ...

[PATCH 2/2] platform: make platform_get_irq_byname_optional() optional

[Sergey Shtylyov]

Currently platform_get_irq_byname_optional() returns an error code even
if IRQ resource simply has not been found. It prevents the callers from
being error code agnostic in their error handling:

	ret = platform_get_irq_byname_optional(...);
	if (ret < 0 && ret != -ENXIO)
		return ret; // respect deferred probe
	if (ret > 0)
		...we get an IRQ...

All other *_optional() APIs seem to return 0 or NULL in case an optional
resource is not available. Let's follow this good example, so that the
callers would look like:

	ret = platform_get_irq_byname_optional(...);
	if (ret < 0)
		return ret;
	if (ret > 0)
		...we get an IRQ...

[PATCH 2/2] platform: make platform_get_irq_byname_optional() optional

[Sergey Shtylyov]

Currently platform_get_irq_byname_optional() returns an error code even
if IRQ resource simply has not been found. It prevents the callers from
being error code agnostic in their error handling:

	ret = platform_get_irq_byname_optional(...);
	if (ret < 0 && ret != -ENXIO)
		return ret; // respect deferred probe
	if (ret > 0)
		...we get an IRQ...

All other *_optional() APIs seem to return 0 or NULL in case an optional
resource is not available. Let's follow this good example, so that the
callers would look like:

	ret = platform_get_irq_byname_optional(...);
	if (ret < 0)
		return ret;
	if (ret > 0)
		...we get an IRQ...
