[PATCH v2 1/1] serial: core: Fix serial_base_match() after fixing controller port name

[PATCH v2 1/1] serial: core: Fix serial_base_match() after fixing controller port name

[Tony Lindgren]

While fixing DEVNAME to be more usable, I broke serial_base_match() as the
ctrl and port prefix for device names seemed unnecessary.

The prefixes are still needed by serial_base_match() to probe the serial
base controller port, and serial tx is now broken.

Let's fix the issue by checking against dev->type and drv->name instead
of the prefixes that are no longer in the DEVNAME.

Fixes: 1ef2c2df1199 ("serial: core: Fix serial core controller port name to show controller id")
Reported-by: kernel test robot <oliver.sang@intel.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-lkp/202308021529.35b3ad6c-oliver.sang@intel.com

Changes since v1:
- Leave out magic numbers and use str_has_prefix() as suggested by Andy
  and Greg

- Improve patch description and add a link for Closes tag as suggested
  by Jiri

- Check the name against device_type name since we have it and leave
  out the changes to try to define names in the header because of the
  issues noted by Jiri

- Leave out Tested-by from Mark and Anders as the patch changed

With this patch applied, I see the following traceback in the pending-fixes
branch.

Bisect log attached as well. It actually points to commit d962de6ae51f
("serial: core: Fix serial core port id to not use port->line").
Bisect was on mips, but I also see problems on arm, ppc, and sparc.
sparc boot tests show the warning message and then stall until aborted
(which of course may be a different problem).

Sorry about all the hassles and thanks for testing again.

I too noticed several issues remaining after testing reloading the hardware
specific serial driver, the issues I saw should be fixed in tty-linus.

The issue above should be fixed with commit:

bbb4abb1bcfb ("serial: 8250: Reinit port_id when adding back serial8250_isa_devs")

Not sure about the sparc one you mentioned, but let's when you run your
tests again.

No. I tested the tip of tty-linus (v6.5-rc4-9-gdfe2aeb226fd) which includes
above commit, but still see the problem. sparc images also still stall after
the "cannot create duplicate filename" message.
I bisected the sparc problem - it also bisects to commit d962de6ae51f.

The problem affects all mips boot tests, all sparc boot tests, as well as
arm sx1, ppc bamboo and sam460ex emulations. As far as I can see, those
call serial8250_register_8250_port() without calling  serial8250_setup_port()
and thus don't set port_id. I am only testing a few of those, so I strongly
suspect that all similar callers of serial8250_register_8250_port() are
affected (i.e., almost all of them) if they register more than one serial port.

OK thanks for explaining. So we need to initialize port->port_id for the
multi-port instances to avoid being stuck with the port->line index. I'll
take a look.

I wonder if we should just revert d962de6ae51f for now. It needs to be
tested to see if something else also needs reverting though.

Tony

It is actually more complicated like that. Adding some debug into, I get the following
from a mips boot. Turns out that serial8250_setup_port() is actually called.

...
####### serial8250_setup_port: index 0
####### serial8250_setup_port: index 0 returning 819a5ab8
####### serial8250_setup_port: index 1
####### serial8250_setup_port: index 1 returning 819a5d20
####### serial8250_setup_port: index 2
####### serial8250_setup_port: index 2 returning 819a5f88
####### serial8250_setup_port: index 3
####### serial8250_setup_port: index 3 returning 819a61f0
...
#### serial8250_register_8250_port: uart=819a5ab8
#### serial8250_register_8250_port: uart=819a5ab8 port_id=0 line=0
...
#### serial8250_register_8250_port: uart=819a5d20
#### serial8250_register_8250_port: uart=819a5d20 port_id=1 line=1
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/platform/serial8250.0/serial8250.0:0/serial8250.0:0.0'

So line and port_id are both set, but the created sysfs attribute
is still duplicate. I'll do some more debugging.

Ok, it is actually quite simple. In serial8250_register_8250_port(),
uart->port.port_id has the correct and expected value. However, that is
overwritten with
	uart->port.port_id      = up->port.port_id;
where 'up' is the port pointer passed by the caller of serial8250_register_8250_port().
And 'port_id' is always 0 in _that_ port pointer (while 'line' is set correctly).

To me it seems we can't use port->port_id until multiport drivers
initialize it, or set port->port_id automatically with ida_alloc().

Meanwhile, we can just change back to using port->line assuming that
fixes the issue for your tests. This means the port names are broken
like we had in -rc1 but that's a cosmetic issue for now.

Below is what I have in mind for a partial revert of commit d962de6ae51f.
