[PATCH 0/6] drivers/dma: drop modular code from non modular drivers

[Paul Gortmaker]

This series of commits is a slice of a larger project to ensure
people don't have dead code for module removal in non-modular
drivers.  Overall there is roughly 5k lines of dead code in the
kernel due to this.

There is a quasi-separate theme, in that some of the drivers were
allowing an unbind implicitly since it is enabled by default.  But
for core DMA infrastructure drivers, this doesn't seem useful -- so
we also disable that here which allows us to delete any ".remove"
functions from the drivers that would otherwise be called during the
(impossible to trigger) module removal.

Since ARM covers these files the best of all architectures, each
file was build tested for allmodconfig on ARM, which at the same
time confirms that the files are not built with "CC [M]" -- hence
genuinely non-modular.

My testing and the larger patch series in general has been done
against the latest linux-next tree.

Paul.

[PATCH 1/6] drivers/dma: make edma.c explicitly non-modular

[Paul Gortmaker]

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

drivers/dma/Kconfig:config TI_EDMA
drivers/dma/Kconfig:    bool "TI EDMA support"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

We explicitly disallow a driver unbind, since that doesn't have a
sensible use case anyway, and it allows us to drop the ".remove"
code for non-modular drivers.

Since module_init wasn't being used by this driver, we've not any
issues worrying about the init ordering changing with this commit.

We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
was (or is now) contained at the top of the file in the comments.

[PATCH 4/6] drivers/dma: make pxa_dma.c explicitly non-modular

[Paul Gortmaker]

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

drivers/dma/Kconfig:config PXA_DMA
drivers/dma/Kconfig:    bool "PXA DMA support"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

We explicitly disallow a driver unbind, since that doesn't have a
sensible use case anyway, and it allows us to drop the ".remove"
code for non-modular drivers.

Since module_platform_driver() uses the same init level priority as
builtin_platform_driver() the init ordering remains unchanged with
this commit.

Also note that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is a no-op for non-modular code.

We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
was (or is now) contained at the top of the file in the comments.

[PATCH 5/6] drivers/dma: make sh/shdma-*.c explicitly non-modular

[Paul Gortmaker]

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of these files is:

config SH_DMAE_BASE
     bool "Renesas SuperH DMA Engine support"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

In one file, we explicitly disallow a driver unbind, since that
doesn't have a sensible use case anyway, and there was not a
".remove" code assigned in the struct for it either.

Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular
case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit.

Similarly builtin_platform_driver and module_platform_driver use
device_initcall, so the init ordering remains unchanged there too.

In one file, We replace module.h with moduleparam.h since the file does
have one module_param already.

We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
is already contained at the top of the file in the comments.

We are in the process of changing the DMA drivers to a new way of
passing the "filter" function around. We can soon build them
all as loadable modules again.

Hi Arnd,

Thanks for the feedback -- just to clarify, you are suggesting I hold
on the series until I see what emerges in the next merge window?

Hi Arnd,

Thanks for the feedback -- just to clarify, you are suggesting I hold
on the series until I see what emerges in the next merge window?

Yes, with this we should be able to have loadable modules for *most* so we
may not require this

It may take a few cycles, but I think we'll get there and should not
remove the unload logic from any of these drivers. When we're done,
there is no reason for a dmaengine driver to be built-in.
