[PATCH for-next 0/3] Clean up and improvements for 5.7

[Dennis Dalessandro]

Here are some clean up/improvement patches. Mike got rid of dead code and Kaike
took a stab at fixing the kobj and cdev complaints.  This serious should
go before the AIP posting. I'll be posting a v2 of the AIP code soon, and I
think I still owe a response on one issue. Coming up, but for now it's just
these 3.

[PATCH for-next 2/3] IB/hfi1: Remove kobj from hfi1_devdata

[Dennis Dalessandro]

From: Kaike Wan <kaike.wan@intel.com>

The field kobj was added to hfi1_devdata structure to manage the life
time of the hfi1_devdata structure for PSM accesses:

commit e11ffbd57520 ("IB/hfi1: Do not free hfi1 cdev parent structure early")

Later another mechanism user_refcount/user_comp was introduced to provide the same
functionality:

commit acd7c8fe1493 ("IB/hfi1: Fix an Oops on pci device force remove")

This patch will remove this kobj field, as it is no longer needed.

[PATCH for-next 3/3] IB/hfi1: Use the ibdev in hfi1_devdata as the parent of cdev

[Dennis Dalessandro]

From: Kaike Wan <kaike.wan@intel.com>

This patch is implemented to address the concerns raised in:
  https://marc.info/?l=linux-rdma&m=158101337614772&w=2

The hfi1 driver dynammically allocates a struct device to represent the
cdev in sysfs and devtmpfs (/dev/hfi1_x). On the other hand, the
hfi1_devdata already contains a struct device in its ibdev field
(hfi1_devdata.verbs_dev.rdi.ibdev.dev), and it is therefore possible to
eliminate the dynamical allocation when creating the cdev. Since each
device could be added to the sysfs only once and the function
device_add() is already called for the ibdev in ib_register_device(),
the function cdev_device_add() could not be used to create the cdev,
even though the hfi1_devdata contains both cdev and ibdev in the same
structure.

This patch eliminates the dynamic allocation by creating the cdev
first, setting up the ibdev, and then calling the ib_register_device()
to add the device to sysfs and devtmpfs.

What do the sysfs paths for the cdev look like now?

Great, yes this looks right to me

So this came up due to PSM having problems.. The right way for PSM
to work is now to find the hfi1_0 devices under /sys/class/hfi1_user/*
and then map then back to RDMA devices and the physical card by doing
realpath and learning the
'/sys/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:02:00.0/infiniband/XXX/' path

Yes?

That is certainly one way to get the device info.

What is this doing?

The only caller passes:

parent == &dd->verbs_dev.rdi.ibdev.dev.kobj

So,

 1) the kobj_to_dev is obfuscation
 2) WTF? Why is it changing the devt inside a struct ib_device??

And since there is only one caller and user_accessible == true, this
confusing code is dead, please clean this up.

Actually this whole thing would be a lot less confusing to read if this
function was just lifted into user_add().

And the only caller passes NULL:

drivers/infiniband/hw/hfi1/file_ops.c:  hfi1_cdev_cleanup(&dd->user_cdev, NULL);

So why add this comment and obfuscation? Delete this function and call
cdev_del from the only call side

And even user_add /user_remove are only called from one place, so spaghetti

And I wondered about these other cdevs.. but this is all some kind of
dead code too, please fix it as well.

..

And I'm looking at some of the existing code around the cdev and
wondering how on earth does it even work?

Why is it calling kobject_set_name()? Look in
Documentation/kobject.txt. This function isn't supposed to be used.

Shouldn't there be a struct device to anchor this in sysfs? I'm very
confused how this is working, where did the hif1_xx sysfs directory come
from?

This is needed to create /dev/hfi1_xxx. See below.

There is no need to set the kobject name in cdev. Will be removed.

Yes, ib_device is the struct device the cdev is anchored to. All we do here is to imitate what is done in cdev_device_add(), as suggested by you previously. The cdev and ib_device are in the same hfi1_devdata structure and normally we should use cdev_device_add() to add the cdev to the system. However, due to the fact that ib_register_device() calls device_add() to add the ib_device to the system, we can't call
cdev_device_add() (which also calls device_add()) directly. Instead, we have to set devt inside ib_device first, call cdev_set_parent() and cdev_add(), and eventually call ib_register_device().

If this is not desirable, we could keep the current approach to create the struct device dynamically through device_create(). In that case, all we need to do is to clean up the code. Which one do you prefer?

Well, you can't do this, that belongs to the ib_device, not the
driver.

So the hfi1_0 name is actually the name of the ib device? But that
makes no sense, now the name of the char dev is not going to be stable
in sysfs after the ib_device is renamed.

I said to use cdev_device_add because that is the right thing to do.

The issue here was parentage. There should not be a virtual device
involved.

The hfi1 user_class device should be parented to the ib_device, look
at how things like umad work to do this properly.

And of course refcounting is tricky, so the cdev and this other device
must be in the same struct, again refer to umad.

So all we need to do is:
-- Change user_device from struct device * to struct device in hfi1_devdata;
-- Set up dd->user_device properly including setting its parent to ib_device;
-- call cdev_device_all().

Correct?

Yes, but keep in mind that putting multiple krefs inside the same
structure is very tricky - be sure to do it right.
