[PATCH v7 0/4] driver core: add probe error check helper

[PATCH v7 0/4] driver core: add probe error check helper

[Andrzej Hajda]

Hi All,

Thanks for comments.

Changes since v6:
- removed leftovers from old naming scheme in commit descritions,
- added R-Bs.

Changes since v5:
- removed patch adding macro, dev_err_probe(dev, PTR_ERR(ptr), ...) should be used instead,
- added dev_dbg logging in case of -EPROBE_DEFER,
- renamed functions and vars according to comments,
- extended docs,
- cosmetics.

Original message (with small adjustments):

Recently I took some time to re-check error handling in drivers probe code,
and I have noticed that number of incorrect resource acquisition error handling
increased and there are no other propositions which can cure the situation.

So I have decided to resend my old proposition of probe_err helper which should
simplify resource acquisition error handling, it also extend it with adding defer
probe reason to devices_deferred debugfs property, which should improve debugging
experience for developers/testers.

I have also added two patches showing usage and benefits of the helper.

My dirty/ad-hoc cocci scripts shows that this helper can be used in at least 2700 places
saving about 3500 lines of code.

Regards
Andrzej

[PATCH v7 1/4] driver core: add device probe log helper

[Andrzej Hajda]

During probe every time driver gets resource it should usually check for
error printk some message if it is not -EPROBE_DEFER and return the error.
This pattern is simple but requires adding few lines after any resource
acquisition code, as a result it is often omitted or implemented only
partially.
dev_err_probe helps to replace such code sequences with simple call,
so code:
	if (err != -EPROBE_DEFER)
		dev_err(dev, ...);
	return err;
becomes:
	return dev_err_probe(dev, err, ...);

[PATCH v8 2/5] driver core: add deferring probe reason to devices_deferred property

[Andrzej Hajda]

/sys/kernel/debug/devices_deferred property contains list of deferred devices.
This list does not contain reason why the driver deferred probe, the patch
improves it.
The natural place to set the reason is dev_err_probe function introduced
recently, ie. if dev_err_probe will be called with -EPROBE_DEFER instead of
printk the message will be attached to a deferred device and printed when user
reads devices_deferred property.

I'm totally confused by this series.  Can you resend the whole thing,
as a full series, not just random individual patches in the series
incremented?  It's a pain to try to fish them all out as to which is the
"latest" with all of the needed reviewed by lines :(

thanks,

v7 is the latest except this one,which contains only commit message change.

Anyway I will send v8 to make things simple.

To reduce churn, you may move {} addition to the first patch.

Hmm... "\t" will be dangling in the latter case.

Ah, indeed :-)
Okay, as I  said I'm fine with the code. Since it's debugfs, we are fine.

[PATCH v7 3/4] drm/bridge/sii8620: fix resource acquisition error handling

[Andrzej Hajda]

In case of error during resource acquisition driver should print error
message only in case it is not deferred probe, using dev_err_probe helper
solves the issue. Moreover it records defer probe reason for debugging.

- shorter code,
- recorded defer probe reason for debugging,
- uniform error code logging.

[PATCH v8 0/5] driver core: add probe error check helper

[Andrzej Hajda]

Hi All,

Thanks for comments.

Changes since v7:
- improved commit message
- added R-Bs

Changes since v6:
- removed leftovers from old naming scheme in commit descritions,
- added R-Bs.

Changes since v5:
- removed patch adding macro, dev_err_probe(dev, PTR_ERR(ptr), ...) should be used instead,
- added dev_dbg logging in case of -EPROBE_DEFER,
- renamed functions and vars according to comments,
- extended docs,
- cosmetics.

Original message (with small adjustments):

Recently I took some time to re-check error handling in drivers probe code,
and I have noticed that number of incorrect resource acquisition error handling
increased and there are no other propositions which can cure the situation.

So I have decided to resend my old proposition of probe_err helper which should
simplify resource acquisition error handling, it also extend it with adding defer
probe reason to devices_deferred debugfs property, which should improve debugging
experience for developers/testers.

I have also added two patches showing usage and benefits of the helper.

My dirty/ad-hoc cocci scripts shows that this helper can be used in at least 2700 places
saving about 3500 lines of code.

Regards
Andrzej

[PATCH v8 2/5] driver core: add deferring probe reason to devices_deferred property

[Andrzej Hajda]

/sys/kernel/debug/devices_deferred property contains list of deferred devices.
This list does not contain reason why the driver deferred probe, the patch
improves it.
The natural place to set the reason is dev_err_probe function introduced
recently, ie. if dev_err_probe will be called with -EPROBE_DEFER instead of
printk the message will be attached to a deferred device and printed when user
reads devices_deferred property.
