When the devfreq driver and the governor driver are built as modules,
the call to devfreq_add_device() fails because the governor driver is
not loaded at the time the devfreq driver loads. The devfreq driver has
a build dependency on the governor but also should have a runtime
dependency. We need to make sure that the governor driver is loaded
before the devfreq driver.

This patch fixes this bug in devfreq_add_device(). First tries to find
the governor, and then, if was not found, it requests the module and
tries again.

Fixes: 1b5c1be2c88e (PM / devfreq: map devfreq drivers to governor using name)

Hi Enric,

This issue will happen on the position to use find_devfreq_governor()
as following:
- devfreq_add_governora() and governor_store()

If device driver with module type after loaded want to change the
scaling governor,
new governor might be not yet loaded. So, devfreq bettero to consider this case
in the find_devfreq_governor().

Ok, I'll move there and send a v2.

I tried your suggestion but I found one problem, if I move the code in
find_devfreq_governor it end up with a deadlock. The reason is the following calls.

devfreq_add_device
  find_devfreq_governor (!!!)
    request_module
       devfreq_simple_ondemand_init
          devfreq_add_governor
             find_devfreq_governor (DEADLOCK)

So I am wondering if shouldn't be more easy fix the issue in both places,
devfreq_add_device and governor_store.

To devfreq_add_device

devfreq_add_device
  governor = find_devfreq_governor
  if (IS_ERR(governor) {
     request_module
     governor = find_devfreq_governor
     if (IS_ERR(governor)
       return ERR_PTR(governor)
  }

And the same for governor_store

governor_store
  governor = find_devfreq_governor
  if (IS_ERR(governor) {
     request_module
     governor = find_devfreq_governor
     if (IS_ERR(governor)
       return ERR_PTR(governor)
  }

Maybe all  can go in a new function try_find_devfreq_governor_then_request

Other suggestions?

In this error case, you have to unlock the mutex
before calling the request_module(). I added the pseudo code
of my opinion.

How about modify the find_devfreq_governor() as following?
I think that it is possible because previous find_devfreq_governor()
always check whether mutex is locked or not.

	find_devfreq_governor() {

		// check whether mutex is locked or not		
		if (!mutex_is_lock(&devfreq_list_lock)) {
			WARN(...)
			return -EINVAL
		}

		// find the registered governor with list_for_each_entry

		if (governor is not loaded) {
			mutex_unlock()
			request_module()
			mutex_lock()	
		}

	}

Then the problem is that the find_devfreq_governor is reentrant because the init
function of the governor calls devfreq_add_governor and find_devfreq_governor
again. E.g for simpleondemand governor you will get this loop.

find_devfreq_governor
  -> request_module
      -> devfreq_simple_ondemand_init
         -> devfreq_add_governor
            -> find_devfreq_governor
               -> request_module
                  -> devfreq_simple_ondemand_init
                     -> devfreq_add_governor
                        -> find_devfreq_governor
                           -> request_module
                              ...

Makes sense or I am missing something and there is a way to quit from this loop?

FWIW I checked how the cpufreq driver does this as it should have the same
problem. The find_governor function is just a simple search and instead of
integrating the request_module inside the find_governor function they have a
cpu_parse_governor that calls request module from the userspace call and from
the init call.

store_scaling_governor
  -> cpu_parse_governor
     -> request_module

cpufreq_add_dev_interface
  -> cpu_freq_init_policy
     -> cpu_parse_governor
        -> request_module

You're right. Sorry, my wrong opinion steals your time.

Also, I checked the cpufreq's case. We better to make the separate function 
like cpufreq_parse_governor() in cpufreq subsystem.
