[PATCH v2] PCI/IDE: Fix duplicate stream symlink names for TSM class devices

[PATCH v2] PCI/IDE: Fix duplicate stream symlink names for TSM class devices

[Xu Yilun]

The name streamH.R.E is used for 2 symlinks:

  1. TSM class devices: /sys/class/tsm/tsmN/streamH.R.E
  2. host bridge devices: /sys/devices/pciDDDD:BB/streamH.R.E

The first usage is broken cause streamH.R.E is only unique within a
specific host bridge but not across the system. Error occurs e.g. when
creating the first stream on a second host bridge:

  sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/faux/tdx_host/tsm/tsm0/stream0.0.0'

Fix this by adding host bridge name into symlink name for TSM class
devices so they show up as:

  /sys/class/tsm/tsmN/pciDDDD:BB:streamH.R.E

It should be OK to change the uAPI since it's new and has few users.

The symlink name for host bridge devices keeps unchanged. Keep concise
as it is already in host bridge context.

Internally in the IDE library, store the full name in struct pci_ide
so TSM symlinks can use it directly as before, while host bridge
symlinks use only the streamH.R.E portion to preserve the existing name.

For those who have managed to completely forget, it would be useful
to just mention what H R and E are. Given the docs
say H is the host bridge number I'm a little confused why it
isn't unique. At least at first glance I'd expect to see
stream0.0.0 and stream 1.0.0 your example.
Maybe H isn't unique across segments / PCI Domains? (DDDD in the above)
Maybe it should be?

No, the Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-pci-host-bridge says
H represents a Stream ID slot (or a Stream index) within the host
bridge's context, not the host bridge index itself. So do R/E.

No. The counter of H along with the pciDDDD:BB/available_secure_streams,
indicate the platform hardware limitation on the maximum number of
Streams a host bridge can support. It should not be a global counter
across System.

First thanks for fixing this, a significant oversight on my part. I will
add this to the devsec-sample tests as penance.

I do not like that we have this large combo name and the confusion it
causes in the code as Bjorn tripped over it.

A better reason is that this ABI has never seen a released kernel.

I think what I would rather do is just back out this ABI for v6.19,
since it is late in the cycle, and fix this properly.

My initial thought of a better way to achieve the same is to create a
kobject named for the host-bridge to namespace the streams. For example:

    /sys/class/tsm/tsmN/pciDDDD:BB/streamH.R.E

However, after seeing Jonathan's feedback and noticing that he missed
that 'H' 'R' and 'E' are documented in the host bridge ABI I think it
would be better to simplify this to just a link back to the host bridge.

    /sys/class/tsm/tsmN/pciDDDD:BB => /sys/devices/pciDDDD:BB

That achieves the same result and is easier to document as "When a TSM
has a established any IDE stream it links to the host bridge. When the
last stream is removed the link is removed." It achieves the goal of
letting an admin do "ls /sys/class/tsm/tsmN/*/stream*" to get a survey
of all consumed stream resources in the system.

That is all a bit too much to do at this late date, so I think for
v6.19-final just delete this ABI, and try again for v7.0.

Subject: [PATCH] Revert "PCI/TSM: Report active IDE streams"

The proposed ABI failed to account for multiple host bridges with the same
stream name. The fix needs to namespace streams or otherwise link back to
the host bridge, but a change like that is too big for a fix. Given this
ABI never saw a released kernel, delete it for now and bring it back later
with this issue addressed.

In fact it does not even need to be dynamic. At tsm_register() time when
@pci_ops is provided, link all host bridges. Unlink them at unregister
time. The only driving need for it to be dynamic is if there is ever a
platform that supports multiple TSMs each supporting a different set of
host bridges. Can cross that bridge later.

I'm sort of supporting dynamic. My DUT has 40 host bridges registered,
most of them has nothing to do with TSM/IDE, so I'm afraid if it is
overkill to list them all, and bury the real TSM capable bridge in the
noise.

And if TSM always list all bridges then why we need these symlinks, we
can just:

  ls -d /sys/devices/pci*\:*/stream*


I assume the annoying part of dynamic is we need to refcount, which IMHO
unnecessarily complex and you are trying to avoid, is it?

I am ok with a simple xarray of registered host bridges that gets
cleaned up when the last stream leaves.

I agree.

Tested, no problem.
