[PATCH 0/3] Some fixes for slave-dma stuff for spi-rockchip

[PATCH 0/3] Some fixes for slave-dma stuff for spi-rockchip

[Shawn Lin]

This patchset mainly do the following three things:
(1) Defer probing driver when geting EPROBE_DEFER
(2) Check the return value of dmaengine_prep_slave_sg
(3) Migrate dmaengine_terminate_all to dmaengine_terminate_async



Shawn Lin (3):
  spi: rockchip: check return value of dmaengine_prep_slave_sg
  spi: rockchip: migrate to dmaengine_terminate_async
  spi: rockchip: check requesting dma channel with EPROBE_DEFER

[PATCH 1/3] spi: rockchip: check return value of dmaengine_prep_slave_sg

[Shawn Lin]

We should check return value of dmaengine_prep_slave_sg, otherwise
we take risk of null pointer.

Applied "spi: rockchip: check return value of dmaengine_prep_slave_sg" to the spi tree

[Mark Brown]

The patch

   spi: rockchip: check return value of dmaengine_prep_slave_sg

has been applied to the spi tree at

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git 

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.  

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark

Presumably Dan would be happy if you just add this right after the dev_warn():
  rs->dma_tx.ch = NULL;

Presumably from Dan's email it would also be wise to make sure you
don't pass NULL to PTR_ERR, which you could probably do by just using
ERR_PTR instead of PTR_ERR.  I think you could structure like this:

        rs->dma_tx.ch = dma_request_slave_channel(rs->dev, "tx");
-       if (!rs->dma_tx.ch)
+       if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(rs->dma_tx.ch)) {
+               /* Check tx to see if we need defer probing driver */
+               if (rs->dma_tx.ch == ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER)) {
+                       ret = -EPROBE_DEFER;
+                       goto err_get_fifo_len;
+               }
                dev_warn(rs->dev, "Failed to request TX DMA channel\n");
+               rs->dma_tx.ch = NULL;
+       }


With that change your patch should be happy, I think.  If some new
unknown error return gets added to dma_request_slave_channel() then
your code will continue to work properly.  Such a change is simple and
safe, so presumably you could just spin your patch with that fix.
Although unlikely, it's probably good to check for IS_ERR_OR_NULL()
when requesting the "rx" channel too.

...but, looking at this, presumably before landing any patch that made
dma_request_slave_channel() return -EPROBE_DEFER you'd need to modify
_all_ users of dma_request_slave_channel to handle error pointers
being returned.  Right now dma_request_slave_channel() says it returns
a pointer to a channel or NULL and the function explicitly avoids
returning any errors.  That might be possible, but it's a big
change...

Thanks for reminding it. I was planing to fix it, so give me a little

At first glance, it's a big change, but maybe not really.
Almost all of them use the templet like:
ch = dma_request_slave_channel
if (!ch)
	balabala....

It's same for all the non-null return pointer/non-zero value ?

So from my view, we can safely change dma_request_slave_channel,
and leave the caller here. I presumably the respective
drivers will graduately migrate to check the return value with
EPROBE_DEFER if they do care this issue. Otherwise, we believe
they don't suffer the changes we make, just as what they did in the
past. Does that make sense?

...but if you return ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER) and don't change existing
callers, then existing callers will think you've returned a valid
pointer when you really returned an error pointer.  They'll pass this
error pointer around like it's a valid "struct dma_chan", won't then?

Actually, could your code just call
dma_request_slave_channel_reason().  Oh, looks like that's exactly
what you want.  See commit 0ad7c00057dc ("dma: add channel request API
that supports deferred probe").  Oh, but I'm looking at 4.4.  Looking
at linuxnext, it looks like this got renamed to dma_request_chan().
...so you need to use that, no?

Strange, but on 4.4 there was some extra code in
dma_request_slave_channel() that wasn't in
dma_request_slave_channel_reason().  ...but looks like that all got
cleaned up in the same CL that added the new name.

possibly, it depends on how caller deal with it. Should check it case by

dma_request_chan already return ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER), but
dma_request_slave_channel ignore this and rewrite it to be NULL.
Strange behaviour looks to me. commit 0ad7c00057dc ("dma: add channel
request API that supports deferred probe")  did the right thing, but
what happened then?  It was drop for some reasons?

Hello Vinod,

Could you please elaborate some more infomation to commit 0ad7c00057dc

I think it's relatively straightforward.

The scheme they came up with allows them to more easily update one
client at a time.  AKA:

* If your code has been updated to handle ERR_PTR() returns, you call
dma_request_slave_channel_reason().

* If your code hasn't been updated, it will still call
dma_request_slave_channel().  In this case EPROBE_DEFER is treated
like any other failure.  That's not ideal but better than the
alternative.

* In recent kernels dma_request_slave_channel() was renamed to
dma_request_chan().  Old code can still use
dma_request_slave_channel_reason() but presumably they want you to use
dma_request_chan() for new code.  They are equivalent:

> #define dma_request_slave_channel_reason(dev, name) dma_request_chan(dev, name)


So your patch should be:

-       rs->dma_tx.ch = dma_request_slave_channel(rs->dev, "tx");
-       if (!rs->dma_tx.ch)
+       rs->dma_tx.ch = dma_request_slave_chan(rs->dev, "tx");
+       if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(rs->dma_tx.ch)) {
+               /* Check tx to see if we need defer probing driver */
+               if (rs->dma_tx.ch == ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER)) {
+                       ret = -EPROBE_DEFER;
+                       goto err_get_fifo_len;
+               }
                dev_warn(rs->dev, "Failed to request TX DMA channel\n");
+               rs->dma_tx.ch = NULL;
+       }

...and then a similar patch for the "rx" side of things.

referencing my answer to v2 for clarity here is my version:

-       rs->dma_tx.ch = dma_request_slave_channel(rs->dev, "tx");
-       if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(rs->dma_tx.ch)) {
+       rs->dma_tx.ch = dma_request_chan(rs->dev, "tx");
+       if (IS_ERR(rs->dma_tx.ch)) {
                /* Check tx to see if we need defer probing driver */
                if (PTR_ERR(rs->dma_tx.ch) == -EPROBE_DEFER) {
                        ret = -EPROBE_DEFER;
                        goto err_get_fifo_len;
                }
                dev_warn(rs->dev, "Failed to request TX DMA channel\n");
+               rs->dma_tx.ch = NULL;
        }


You may also add some tweaks like checking for IS_ERR(rs->dma_tx.ch) in the
following code instead of checking for NULL (then you don't need to do
"rs->dma_tx.ch = NULL" on error), then skip "rx" channel request, if "tx"
channel request failed and so on.

The request API was cleaned up here and please see the Documentation on how
to do this.

See the commit a8135d0d7 - dmaengine: core: Introduce new, universal API to
request a channel

My check doesn't care if you pass something to PTR_ERR() that might be
NULL, it complains when PTR_ERR() can only be zero.  And it's ok to have
the warning for a while and silence it in another patch when we update
dma_request_slave_channel().

But this also works well.
