It turns out that the dev_has_sync_state() is needed outside the driver
core. A subsequent change to the pmdomain subsystem starts making use of
it.

Hm...the commit was correct, it's just that you now want to use it outside of
the driver-core code, so I'd drop this tag.

The common sync_state support isn't fine grained enough for some types of
suppliers, like power domains for example. Especially when a supplier
provides multiple independent power domains, each with their own set of
consumers. In these cases we need to wait for all consumers for all the
provided power domains before invoking the supplier's ->sync_state().
To allow a more fine grained sync_state support to be implemented on per
supplier's driver basis, let's add a new optional callback. As soon as
there is an update worth to consider in regards to managing sync_state for
a supplier device, __device_links_queue_sync_state() queues the device in a
list, allowing the new callback to be invoked when flushing the list in
device_links_flush_sync_list().

Changes in v3:
- Re-worked the approach to use a list to queue/flush devices for
->queue_sync_state(). This should make sure the device lock is being
held when it's needed, as pointed out by Danilo.

Hm...this is called without the device_links_write_lock() held, so this looks
like this could this race with the list_del_init() from
device_links_driver_cleanup() and create an infinite loop.
(The other list iterator above might have the same issue.)

This is pre-existing, but I think it would be good to add a device_lock_assert()
call for this as well.

Yes, you are right!
I was trying to follow the existing implementation for the regular
sync_state, but it certainly looks like we need a separate lock to
protect the lists.
Let me fold in a patch that fixes this for the regular ->sync_state()
code first.

Makes perfect sense.
Again, I will fold in a patch that start by adding this for the
regular ->sync_state().

Thanks for reviewing!

Hi Ulf,

Let's please pick a better name. This is too similar to the actual
queue function you call __device_links_queue_sync_state() and is very
confusing. Maybe something that has a meaning along the lines of
"another consumer probed". So, maybe:
* consumer_probed()
* change_of_active_consumers()
I'm going to refer to this new callback as "consumer_probed()" in the
rest of my replies so I can keep it straight in my head.

Why not keep this in the same format as the existing doc? Something like:

This path is really meant only for situations when the device has no
consumers. So, I don't think fine grained control is relevant.

Let's make it clear that if a device gets sync_state() callback, it
needs to sync the state independent of whether it has received any/all
"consumer_probed()".

I will try, but taking more than 2 months to reply isn't sustainable,
I think. Let's hope you can get some more bandwidth for reviews when

The whole point of naming it "queue_sync_state" was exactly to refer
to __device_links_queue_sync_state(). The point is, the callback can't
be invoked unless __device_links_queue_sync_state() has been called
for the device first.
Not sure why you think that is confusing? To me, that is rather the
opposite. :-)
Before deciding on another name, note also that
__device_links_queue_sync_state() is called when resuming sync_state
from device_links_supplier_sync_state_resume() and from
device_links_driver_bound(). I am not sure "consumer_probed" a good
name that covers both of these cases; what do you think?

Similar to the dev_set_drv_sync_state() helper, let's add another one to
allow subsystem level code to set the ->queue_sync_state() callback for a
driver that has not already set it.

To prepare for subsequent changes and to avoid an unnecessary function
declaration, let's move genpd_get_from_provider() a bit earlier in the
code.

A onecell (#power-domain-cells = <1 or 2>; in DT) power domain provider
typically provides multiple independent power domains, each with their own
corresponding consumers. In these cases we have to wait for all consumers
for all the provided power domains before the ->sync_state() callback gets
called for the supplier.
In a first step to improve this, let's implement support for fine grained
sync_state support a per genpd basis by using the ->queue_sync_state()
callback. To take step by step, let's initially limit the improvement to
the internal genpd provider driver and to its corresponding genpd devices
for onecell providers.

I think I understand the intent of this function, but haven't dug into
genpd code enough to comment on this yet. I'll come back to this

Couple of issues:
1. I don't want the frameworks to be so deeply aware of driver core
internals. I want the driver core maintainers to be able to change the
devlink implementation without having to worry about going and fixing
all the frameworks. So, please add a for_each_consumer_dev(supplier,
callback) and for_each_supplier_dev(consumer, callback) helper
functions.
2. This doesn't ignore "SYNC_STATE_ONLY" links and that's going to
confuse the consumer count/check you might do or at the least waste
parsing those.
3. **Device** links are not the complete list of consumers because
they can only link consumer **devices** once the consumer **device**
is created.
4. What you really need is a for_each_consumer_fwnode(supplier,
callback) that first loops through all the consumer device links and
calls the callback() on their fwnode and then the same function needs
to loop through all the fwnode links and then pass those consumer
fwnodes to the callback. And inside that callback you can do whatever
you want.
5. You might want to add a for_each_inactive_consumer(supplier,
callback) too to simplify your need for checking if a fwnode has a
device and then checking if it's probed.

I guess it's a matter of personal preference. I'm not sure the code
gets any nicer with a do/while, but if you really insist I can change
it.

I understand your concern and I like the idea. However, maybe it's
better to get this landed (the series is complicated as is) first and
then can continue to improve the code on top, with helper functions
etc.

I am not sure I understand how I should take SYNC_STATE_ONLY links
into account here.
At each call to the genpd_queue_sync_state(), we walk through all the
provided genpds for the provider. No previous state is cached to track
consumer counts.

The ->queue_sync_state() callback is invoked *after*
__device_links_queue_sync_state() has been called for the device,
which is also when the conditions for calling ->sync_state() is
checked.
If there are problems with not yet registered consumer device links,
why isn't that as problem for regular ->sync_state() in
__device_links_queue_sync_state()?

A onecell power domain provider driver that we can assign a common
->sync_state() callback for, should be able to benefit from the improved
fine grained sync_state support in genpd. Therefore, let's also assign the
->queue_sync_state() callback for these types of provider drivers.

Along with of_genpd_sync_state() that genpd provider drivers may use to
manage sync_state, let's add and export of_genpd_queue_sync_state() for
those that may need it. It's expected that the genpd provider driver
assigns it's own ->queue_sync_state() callback and invoke the new helper
from there.

Due to the new fine grained sync_state support for onecell genpd provider
drivers, we should no longer need use the legacy behaviour. Therefore,
let's drop GENPD_FLAG_NO_STAY_ON.

Rmobile-sysc is not a onecell provider and didn't really needed
the GENPD_FLAG_NO_STAY_ON flag in the first place. Let's drop it.

If the PM domain was not powered on during initialization, genpd will not
prevent it from being powered off during boot. In these cases there is no
need to call genpd_power_off() at sync_state, hence let's avoid it.
