[PATCH] driver-core: Log the BUG() causing driver

[Florian Schmaus]

I triggerd the BUG_ON(), which was added in
f48f3febb2cbfd0f2ecee7690835ba745c1034a4, when booting a domU Xen
domain. Since there was no contextual information logged, I needed to
attach kgdb to determine the culprit (the wmi-bmof driver in my case).

We could just log the error and return with an error, that would be
nicer, right?  Crashing the system isn't usually a good idea, even at
boot time :)

Basically just by booting the domU kernel with the wmi-bmof driver
compiled in. After I deselected the wmi-bmof driver, the kernel booted
just fine.

I'd probably be able to re-create the faulty kernel and show you the
image and/or kernel config if you want.

It sure is, and I did consider it. I just wasn't sure which return value
to use in that case. Probably the best solution would be to use the
return value of bus_register(), which caused p to become NULL. Although
that possibly requires extending the bus_type struct by an 'int' storing
the return value (Or could the return value be mangled into the 'p'
pointer?).

I'd be happy to hear your thoughts on this.

BTW: Should I retain the 'unlikely' semantic of BUG_ON() in this case?

[PATCH v2] driver-core: Return EBUSY error instead of BUG_ON()

[Florian Schmaus]

I triggerd the BUG_ON() in driver_register(), which was added in
f48f3febb2cbfd0f2ecee7690835ba745c1034a4, when booting a domU Xen
domain. Since there was no contextual information logged, I needed to
attach kgdb to determine the culprit (the wmi-bmof driver in my case).

Instead of running into a BUG_ON() we print an error message
identifying the driver but continue booting.

What changed from v1?  Always put that below the --- line.

Also, it's best to quote commits with the following format:
	f48f3febb2cb ("driver-core: do not register a driver with bus_type not registered")

v3?

In looking at this code, that's a real bug somewhere in the logic of the
bus subsystem.  BUG_ON() is a pretty big hammer, I agree, but your error
message should be a lot more descriptive, and the error value should not
be BUSY, as something went wrong, it's not just a "come back later" type
of thing.

[PATCH v3 0/3] return EINVAL error instead of BUG_ON()

[Florian Schmaus]

This patch series makes driver_register() emit an error message and
return a failure code instead of triggering a BUG_ON()

I tried to make the error message more descriptive compared to v2 by
including the error of the failed bus registration in [3/3]. I'd be
happy to include some more context if you have further suggestions.

is zero, then probably bus_register() was never called before.

I initially assumed that this is what cause me hitting the BUG_ON()
which [1/3] replaces: The bus registration failed and then the driver
attempts to register itself. But I did not had a chance to verify
that. I'll try to do so after my vacation. Meanwhile I hope that at
least [1/3] is considered an improvement of the kernel. If so, feel
free to pick it up.

I've picked up patch 1, I don't think patches 2 or 3 are needed, due to
the extreme unfrequency that this problem ever happens :)

The bus is not initialized, not the driver, right?  This kind of makes
it sound the other way around :(

I don't think this is really needed, has it ever triggered before?

[PATCH v5 3/3] driver-core: print bus registration error value

[Florian Schmaus]

If driver_register() is called with an device driver which previously
called bus_register() but failed, then print out the bus_register()
error code.

The error was with the bus registration, not the driver registration.

And really, when has this ever happened?  Why would a bus registration
fail and later allow a driver to be registered?  The bus registration
error would have shown up somewhere, no need to keep it around for no
real good reason.

So I don't think that patches 2 and 3 are needed at all here, sorry.

[PATCH v4 1/3] driver-core: return EINVAL error instead of BUG_ON()

[Florian Schmaus]

I triggerd the BUG_ON() in driver_register() when booting a domU Xen
domain. Since there was no contextual information logged, I needed to
attach kgdb to determine the culprit (the wmi-bmof driver in my
case). The BUG_ON() was added in commit f48f3febb2cb ("driver-core: do
not register a driver with bus_type not registered").

Instead of running into a BUG_ON() we print an error message
identifying the, likely faulty, driver but continue booting.

Are you using checkpatch.pl?

Anyway, long strings should never be split across lines.  This needs to
be one line.

Sometimes making small changes is hard :)

I do, I thought this was one of the rare occasions where it is sensible
to split the lines, also given that the other strings within the same
function are also split.

Fixed in v5.

[PATCH v3 1/3] driver-core: return EINVAL error instead of BUG_ON()

[Florian Schmaus]

I triggerd the BUG_ON() in driver_register() when booting a domU Xen
domain. Since there was no contextual information logged, I needed to
attach kgdb to determine the culprit (the wmi-bmof driver in my
case). The BUG_ON() was added in commit f48f3febb2cb ("driver-core: do
not register a driver with bus_type not registered").

Instead of running into a BUG_ON() we print an error message
identifying the, likely faulty, driver but continue booting.

    - return EINVAL (instead of EBUSY)

checkpatch.pl should have said to use pr_err(), right?  :)

Also, why not print out the driver name as well?

thanks,

Sorry, I meant the bus name.

[PATCH v3 2/3] driver-core: record error on bus registration

[Florian Schmaus]

If bus_register() fails on a driver then record the error code so that
it can be inspected later on.

I don't understand, if a bus was never registered, this is going to fail
in lots of odd ways, including the value being 0, so that would show "no
error"?  Is this really needed?

A better message would be something like:
	"Driver '%s" was unable to register with bus_type '%s' because it was not initialized."

right?

thanks,

greg k-h
