[PATCH v3 0/7] VFIO platform reset module rework

Eric Auger
2015-10-23T12:37:27Z

This series fixes the current implementation by getting rid of the
usage of __symbol_get which caused a compilation issue with
CONFIG_MODULES disabled. On top of this, the usage of MODULE_ALIAS makes
possible to add a new reset module without being obliged to update the
framework. The new implementation relies on the reset module registering
its reset function to the vfio-platform driver.

Best Regards

v2 -> v3:
- use driver_mutex instead of reset_mutex
- style fixes: single mutex_unlock
- use static nodes; vfio_platform_register_reset now is a macro
- vfio_platform_reset_private.h removed since reset_module_(un)register
disappear. No use of symbol_get anymore
- new patch introducing vfio-platform-base
- reset look-up moved back at vfio-platform probe time
- new patch featuring dev_info/dev_warn

v1 -> v2:
* in vfio_platform_common.c:
- move reset lookup at load time and put reset at release: this is to
prevent a race between the 2 load module loads
- reset_list becomes static
- vfio_platform_register/unregister_reset take a const char * as compat
- fix node link
- remove old combo struct and cleanup proto of vfio_platform_get_reset
- add mutex to protect the reset list
* in calxeda xgmac reset module
- introduce vfio_platform_reset_private.h
- use module_vfio_reset_handler macro
- do not export vfio_platform_calxedaxgmac_reset symbol anymore
- add a pr_info to show the device is reset by vfio reset module
