[PATCH 0/2 v2] drm/i915: Avoid full proxy f_ops debug attributes

[PATCH 0/2 v2] drm/i915: Avoid full proxy f_ops debug attributes

[Deepak R Varma]

This patch series proposes to replace a combination of DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE() +
debugfs_create_file() by a combination of DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE() +
debugfs_create_file_unsafe(). The change reduced overhead in terms of managing
the full proxy f_ops at runtime. The patches 1 & 2 covers for the DRRS and FBC
f_ops debugfs attributes respectively.

Following coccicheck make command helped identify this change:
    
make coccicheck M=drivers/gpu/drm/i915/ MODE=patch COCCI=./scripts/coccinelle/api/debugfs/debugfs_simple_attr.cocci

Changes in v2:
   - Individual patches clubbed in patch set
   - Update patch log message to include coccicheck make command

  drm/i915/fbc: Avoid full proxy f_ops for FBC debug attributes

[PATCH v2 1/2] drm/i915/display: Avoid full proxy f_ops for DRRS debug attributes

[Deepak R Varma]

Using DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE macro with the debugfs_create_file()
function adds the overhead of introducing a proxy file operation
functions to wrap the original read/write inside file removal protection
functions. This adds significant overhead in terms of introducing and
managing the proxy factory file operations structure and function
wrapping at runtime.
As a replacement, a combination of DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE macro paired
with debugfs_create_file_unsafe() is suggested to be used instead.  The
DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE utilises debugfs_file_get() and
debugfs_file_put() wrappers to protect the original read and write
function calls for the debug attributes. There is no need for any
runtime proxy file operations to be managed by the debugfs core.

Hello Rodrigo,
The pxp file is implemented differently using a common function for another SHOW
attribute file. I am exploring how to best handle that and would send in a patch
if feasible. See the simplified code snip below:

	static const struct intel_gt_debugfs_file files[] = {
		{ "info", &pxp_info_fops, NULL },
		{ "terminate_state", &pxp_terminate_fops, NULL },
	};
	...
	intel_gt_debugfs_register_files(root, files, ARRAY_SIZE(files), pxp);

Thank you.
