Hi Felipe, Rafael,

This is the second version of this series. There are no real changes,
but I added the Tiger Lake ID patch to this series in hope that it
will make your life a bit easier, assuming that Rafael will still pick
these.


The original over letter:

I originally introduced these as part of my series where I was
proposing PM ops for software nodes [1], but since that still needs
work, I'm sending these two separately.

So basically I'm only modifying dwc3-pci.c so it registers a software
node directly at this point. That will remove one more user of
platform_device_add_properties().

thanks,

Looks good to me.

I can take all 3 of these if that makes it easier.  Rafael, let me know
what you want to do, either is fine with me.

I wonder if this also ought to set dev_fwnode(dev)->secondary back to
ERR_PTR(-ENODEV)?

We can't do that here unfortunately. Other places still have a
reference to the swnode at this point and they may still need to
access it using the dev_fwnode(dev)->secondary pointer.

Actually it's a good question.

Yeah, but in this case we potentially leave a dangling pointer when last of the
user gone and kobject_put() will call for release.

Looking more into this code I think we need to call

	set_secondary_fwnode(dev, NULL);

among these lines.

The real problem is that set_primary_fwnode() and set_secondary_fwnode() have
no reference counting. If we have a chain ->primary->secondary->-ENODEV is
being used somewhere we can't tell from here.

So, in practice it means that we lack of some kind of primary node to increment
reference count of the secondary node when the latter is chained to the given
primary. But it makes things too complicated. Any other options for shared
primary-secondary chain? Standalone primary along with standalone (exclusive)
secondary doesn't need this AFAICS. Perhaps a flag to primary like shared /
exclusive that will prevent breaking the chain in set_secondary_fwnode()?

The caller has to be responsible of setting the secondary back to
ERR_PTR(-ENODEV). We can not do anything here like I explained. We can
not even do that in software_node_notify() when the association to the
struct device is removed, because the fwnode->secondary is still
accessed after that. The caller needs to remove both the node and the
device, and only after that it is safe to set the secondary back to
ERR_PTR(-ENODEV).

This clearly needs to explained in the comment... I'll fix it.

I think we should really start looking into the possibility of
removing the whole secondary coupling, because that is the thing that
is crippling us.

I studied the code again, and it actually looks like this is only a
problem when device_add_properties() is used and there is an
expectation that the node/properties are removed automatically in
device_del().

When this new API is used, the only place that needs to access the
swnode using the secondary pointer is software_node_notify(), so if we
simply handle that separately here, we should be able to clear the
secondary pointer after all. It would look something like this:

        void device_remove_software_node(struct device *dev)
        {
        	struct swnode *swnode;
        
        	swnode = dev_to_swnode(dev);
        	if (!swnode)
        		return;
        
                software_node_notify(dev, KOBJ_REMOVE);
                set_secondary_fwnode(dev, NULL);
        	kobject_put(&swnode->kobj);
        }

I'll test that, and if it works, and you guys don't see any problems
with it, I'll use it in v3.
