[PATCH 0/5] Extend the LED panic trigger

[PATCH 0/5] Extend the LED panic trigger

[Ezequiel Garcia]

As per commit 916fe61995 ("leds: trigger: Introduce a kernel panic LED
trigger"), the kernel now supports a new LED trigger to hook on
the panic blink.

However, the only way of using this is to dedicate a LED device
to this function.

To overcome this limitation, the present series introduces the
capability to switch the LED trigger of certain LED devices upon
a kernel panic (using the panic notifier).

The decision of which LEDs should be switched to the panic trigger
is left to each LED device driver. As an example, a devicetree
boolean property is introduced and used in the leds-gpio driver.

Feedback and other ideas on how to implement this are most welcomed.

[PATCH 1/5] leds: triggers: Allow to switch the trigger to "panic" on a kernel panic

[Ezequiel Garcia]

This commit adds a new led_cdev flag LED_BLINK_AT_PANIC, which
allows to mark a specific LED to be switched to the "panic"
trigger, on a kernel panic.

This is useful to allow the user to assign a regular trigger
to a given LED, and still blink that LED on a kernel panic.

Not sure how we can get it out of the core, and still implement it.

The goal is to run-time switch user-specified LEDs and blink them when
the kernel panics, and so it needs to mess up with some core private
structures.

Unless we don't want this feature at all.

It seems that the entire added code can be easily moved to a separate
module, let's say led-panic-notifier.c ? It should select
LEDS_TRIGGER_PANIC, as it would make no sense to have the former enabled
without the latter.

Dunno. Perhaps we can have something like struct led *panic_led, which
architecture can set, and then some helper that would blink the panic
led...? Should be smaller than this and will only be compiled on
platforms where it makes sense. On x86 we already have such support...

[PATCH 2/5] leds: triggers: Add a led_trigger_event_nosleep API

[Ezequiel Garcia]

Now that we can mark any LED (even those in use by delayed blink
triggers) to trigger on a kernel panic, let's introduce a nosleep
led_trigger_event API.

This API is needed to skip the delayed blink path on
led_trigger_event. LEDs that are switched on a kernel panic,
might be in use by a delayed blink trigger.

This will be used by the panic LED trigger.

led_set_brightness() can gently disable blinking if passed 0 in the
brightness argument. IMHO this patch is not needed then.

Yes, but the blinking disable is deferred, and so might never
run (e.g. I'd say it won't run on a non-preemptible kernel).

I think we need this API, or otherwise some way of circumventing
the deferred path on led_set_brightness. For instance, we
could turn off delay_on and delay_off in the panic atomic notifier.

I'm not strongly convinced by any approach, but this API seemed
slightly cleaner.

[PATCH 3/5] leds: trigger: panic: Use led_trigger_event_nosleep

[Ezequiel Garcia]

Calling led_trigger_event may schedule a delayed LED set,
if the LED was being used by a delayed blink trigger when
the kernel paniced.

Therefore, we must use led_trigger_event_nosleep to override
this situation, and set the LED unconditionally.

[PATCH 3/5] leds: trigger: panic: Use led_trigger_event_nosleep

[Ezequiel Garcia]

Calling led_trigger_event may schedule a delayed LED set,
if the LED was being used by a delayed blink trigger when
the kernel paniced.

Therefore, we must use led_trigger_event_nosleep to override
this situation, and set the LED unconditionally.

[PATCH 4/5] devicetree: leds: Introduce "panic-blink" optional property

[Ezequiel Garcia]

It's desirable to specify which LEDs are to be blinked on a kernel
panic. Therefore, introduce a devicetree boolean property to mark
which LEDs should be treated this way.

I'd say that 'panic-indicator' would be more informative.

Because this is not about specifying a LED trigger.

The use case is the following: a LED is assigned to some LED trigger.
When the kernel panics, we want to switch that LED to the panic trigger,
so it blinks signalling the panic.

IOW, this allows a LED to be used for "normal operation stuff trigger",
but blink if the kernel panics.

[PATCH 5/5] leds: gpio: Support the panic-blink firmware property

[Ezequiel Garcia]

GPIO LEDs are relatively cheap, and so are ideal to blink on
a kernel panic. This commit adds support for the new "panic-blink"
firmware property, allowing to mark a given LED to blink on
a kernel panic.

[PATCH 5/5] leds: gpio: Support the panic-blink firmware property

[Ezequiel Garcia]

GPIO LEDs are relatively cheap, and so are ideal to blink on
a kernel panic. This commit adds support for the new "panic-blink"
firmware property, allowing to mark a given LED to blink on
a kernel panic.
