[PATCH v2 1/8] firmware: add new extensible firmware API - sysdata_file_request*()

Luis R. Rodriguez
2016-06-16T23:59:34Z

The firmware API has evolved over the years slowly, as it
grows we extend it by adding new routines or at times we extend
existing routines with more or less arguments. This doesn't scale
well, when new arguments are added to existing routines it means
we need to traverse the kernel with a slew of collateral
evolutions to adjust old driver users. The firmware API is also
now being used for things outside of the scope of what typically
would be considered "firmware", an example here is the p54 driver
enables users to provide a custom EEPROM through this interface.
Another example is optional CPU microcode updates. This list is
actually quite endless...

There are other subsystems which would like to make use of the
APIs for similar things (not firmware) but have different
requirements and criteria which they'd like to be met for the
requested file. If different requirements are needed it would
again mean adding more arguments and making a slew of collateral
evolutions, or adding yet-another-new-API-call.

Another sticking point over the current firmware API is that
some callers may need the usermode helper when its enabled.
No matter how much a lot of us now hate the usermode helper
(even Linus has called to deprecate it [0]), we've determined
we cannot get rid of it now [1]. There have even been hints
about further valid extended uses expected for the usermode
helper in the future... Although we cannot deprecate the usermode
helpers we can compartamentalize its uses to only valid uses then.

Even if we compartamentalize the usermode helpers uses, we still
need a flexible API for growing needs and requirements and new
features. This new extensible firmware API enables new extensions
to be added (an expected desirable feature for instance is firmware
signing support) by avoiding future unnecessary collateral
evolutions as this code / features get added and also provides
a clean way to enable folks who do wish to deprecate the usermode
helper to do so with certainty.

This new set of APIS leaves the old firmware API as-is, ignores all
consideration for usermode-helpers, labels the new API to reflect its
broad use outside of the scope of firmware: system data helpers, and
builds on top of the original firmware core code.

The new extensible "system data" set of helpers accepts that there
really are only two types of requests for accessing system data:

a) synchronous requests
b) asynchronous requests

Both of these requests may have a different set of requirements
which must be met. These requirements can simply be passed as a
descriptors to each type of request. The descriptor can be extended
over time to support different requirements as the kernel evolves.

Using the new system data helpers is only necessary if you have
requirements outside of what the existing old firmware API accepts
or alternatively if you want to ensure to avoid the usermode helper
at all times, regardless of what kernel your driver might run in.

Developers with new uses should extend the new new descriptors and system
data code to provide support for new features.

A few simple features added as part of the new set of system data
request APIs, other than making the new API easily extensible for
the future:

- Usermode helpers is completely ignored, *always*
- By default the kernel will free the system data file for you after
your callbacks are called, you however are allowed to request that
you wish to keep the system data file on the descriptor. The new
sysdata API is able to free the sysdata file for you by requiring a
consumer callback for the system data file.
- You no longer need to declare and use your own completions, you
can replace your completions with sysdata_synchronize_request() using
the async_cookie set for you by sysdata_file_request_async(). When
sysdata_file_request_async() completes you can rest assured all the
work for both triggering, and processing the sysdata using any of
your callbacks has completed.
- Allow both asynchronous and synchronous request to specify that system data
files are optional. With the old APIs we had added one full API call,
request_firmware_direct() just for this purpose -- although it should be
noted another of its goal was to also skip the usermode helper.
The system data request APIs allow for you to annotate that a system
data file is optional for both synchronous or asynchronous requests
through the same two basic set of APIs.
- The system data request APIs currently match the old synchronous firmware
API calls to refcounted firmware_class module, but it should be easy
to add support now to enable also refcounting the caller's module
should it be be needed. Likewise the system data request APIs match the
old asynchronous firmware API call and refcounts the caller's module.

v4 changes:

o Add SYSDATA_KEEP_SYNC() and SYSDATA_KEEP_ASYNC() macro helpers,
drivers that want to keep the firmware are pretty common, however
note that if we can figure out a way to avoid having drivers
deal with releasing the firmware we're better off, that however
can be an additional change to look forward to.

o 0-day-bot make htmldocs warning fixes

o When developing and testing the sysdata test driver I ended up
running into tons of hairball code just to be able to come up
with enough code to be able to tweak all possible knobs using
a userspace test interface. This begged for a cleaner API and
in testing found that async_schedule_domain() made life so much
easier. This also added the sysdata_synchronize_request() helper
which user can use to see if their async request completed. This
should help users considerably as well. Updated code, commit log
and documentation to reflect these changes.

o In testing found that to make semantics stronger we should
require @optional to true on the descriptor if an optional
callback is to be provided (with SYSDATA_SYNC_OPT_CB() or
SYSDATA_ASYNC_OPT_CB()). Made notes to ensure to users
that set @optional to true but are not providing a opt_fail_cb()
should at the very least seriously consider using the returned
using async_cookie to sysdata_synchronize_request() to ensure
no lingering requests are kept out of bounds.

o Updated commit log to reflect how we can compartamentalize
usermode helper code

o Adds SYSDATA_ASYNC_OPT_CB()

o Forces @optional on SYSDATA_SYNC_OPT_CB() to true

o Ensures sysdata_file_request() and sysdata_file_request_async()
check for emptry string (name[0] == '\0') as follow up to
Kees's check for empty string name 471b095dfe0d6 ("firmware_class:
make sure fw requests contain a name") and later a fix by
Brian through 715780ae4bb76d ("firmware: actually return NULL on
failed request_firmware_nowait()).

+System data requests API
+========================
+
+As the kernel evolves we keep extending the firmware_class set of APIs
+with more or less arguments, this creates a slew of collateral evolutions.
+The set of users of firmware request APIs has also grown now to include
+users which are not looking for "firmware" per se, but instead general
+system data files which for one reason or another has been decided to be
+kept oustide of the kernel, and/or to allow dynamic updates. The system data
+request set of APIs addresses rebranding of firmware as generic system data
+files, and provides a way to enable these APIs to easily be extended without
+much collateral evolutions.
+
+System data modes of operation
+==============================
+
+There are only two types of modes of operation for system data requests:
+
+ * synchronous - sysdata_file_request()
+ * asynchronous - sysdata_file_request_async()
+
+Synchronous requests expect requests to be done immediately, asynchronous
+requests enable requests to be scheduled for a later time.
+
+System data file descriptor
+===========================
+
+Variations of types of system data requests are specified by a system data
+request descriptor. The system data request descriptor can grow as with new
+fields as requirements grow. The old firmware API provides two synchronous
+requests: request_firmware() and request_firmware_direct(), the later allowing
+the caller to specify that the "system data file" is optional. The system data
+request API allows a caller to set the optional nature of the system data file
+on the system data file descriptor using the same synchronous API. Since this
+requirement is part of the descriptor it also allows asynchronous requests
+to specify that the system data file is optional.
+
+Reference counting and releasing the system data file
+=====================================================
+
+As with the old firmware API both the device and module are bumped with
+reference counts during the system data requests. This prevents removal
+of the device and module making the system data request call until the
+system data request callbacks have completed, either synchronously or
+asynchronously.
+
+The old firmware APIs refcounted the firmware_class module for synchronous
+requests, meanwhile asynchronous requests refcounted the caller's module.
+The system data request API currently mimic this behaviour, for synchronous
+requests the firmware_class module is refcounted through the use of
+dfl_sync_reqs, although if in the future we may later enable use of
+also refcounting the caller's module as well. Likewise in the future we
+may extend asynchronous calls to refcount the firmware_class module.
+
+Typical use of the old synchronous firmware APIs consist of the caller
+requesting for "system data", consuming it after a request and finally
+freeing it. Typical asynchronous use of the old firmware APIs consist of
+the caller requesting for "system data" and then finally freeing it on
+asynchronous callback.
+
+The system data request API enables callers to provide a callback for both
+synchronous and asynchronous requests and since consumption can be expected
+in these callbacks it frees it for you by default after callback handlers
+are issued. If you wish to keep the system data around after your callbacks
+you must specify this through the system data request descriptor.
+
+Async cookies, replacing completions
+====================================
+
+With this new API you do not need to declare and use your own completions, you
+can replace your completions with sysdata_synchronize_request() using the
+async_cookie set for you by sysdata_file_request_async(). When
+sysdata_file_request_async() completes you can rest assured all the work for
+both triggering, and processing the sysdata using any of your callbacks has
+completed.
+
+User mode helper
+================
+
+The old firmware API provided support for an optional user mode helper. The
+new system data request API abandons all notions of the usermode helper.
+
+Tracking development enhancements and ideas
+===========================================

+firmware_class refer to the kernel newbies wiki page [0].

+ * struct sysdata_file_desc - system data file descriptor
+ * @optional: if true it is not a hard requirement by the caller that this
+ * file be present. An error will not be recorded if the file is not
+ * found. You must set this to true if you have provided a opt_fail_cb
+ * callback, SYSDATA_SYNC_OPT_CB() and SYSDATA_ASYNC_OPT_CB() ensures
+ * this is done for you. If you set this to true and are using an
+ * asynchronous request but not providing a opt_fail_cb() you should
+ * seriously consider using at the very least using async_cookie provided
+ * to you to sysdata_synchronize_request() to ensure no lingering
+ * requests are kept out of bounds.
+ * @keep: if set the caller wants to claim ownership over the system data
+ * through one of its callbacks, it must later free it with
+ * release_sysdata_file(). By default this is set to false and the kernel
+ * will release the system data file for you after callback processing
+ * has completed.
+ * @sync_reqs: synchronization requirements, this will be taken care for you
+ * by default if you are usingy sdata_file_request(), otherwise you
+ * should provide your own requirements.
+ *
+ * This structure is set the by the driver and passed to the system data
+ * file helpers sysdata_file_request() or sysdata_file_request_async().
+ * It is intended to carry all requirements and specifications required
+ * to complete the task to get the requested system date file to the caller.
+ * If you wish to extend functionality of system data file requests you
+ * should extend this data structure and make use of the extensions on
+ * the callers to avoid unnecessary collateral evolutions.
+ *
+ * You are allowed to provide a callback to handle if a system data file was
+ * found or not. You do not need to provide a callback. You may also set
+ * an optional flag which would enable you to declare that the system data
+ * file is optional and that if it is not found an alternative callback be
+ * run for you.
+ *
+ * Refer to sysdata_file_request() and sysdata_file_request_async() for more
+ * details.
