[PATCH 00/13] Categorize some uncategorized devices

[PATCH 00/13] Categorize some uncategorized devices

[Gan Qixin]

Hi all,

By running "qemu-system-x86_64 -device help" and "qemu-system-arm -M none
-device help", I found many uncategorized devices. Therefore, I categorized them.

Thanks,
Gan Qixin

Gan Qixin (13):
  pc-dimm: put it into the 'storage' category
  virtio-pmem: put it into the 'storage' category
  vmmouse: put it into the 'input' category
  nvdimm: put it into the 'storage' category
  mc146818rtc: put it into the 'misc' category
  ipmi: put some ipmi devices into the correct category
  tpm: put some tpm devices into the correct category
  AMDVI-PCI: put it into the 'misc' category
  u2f-passthru: put it into the 'usb' category
  tosa-ssp: put it into the 'misc' category
  spitz: put some Spitz-family devices into the correct category
  SPI flash devices: put them into the 'storage' category
  bcm2835_cprman: put some peripherals of bcm2835 cprman into the 'misc'
    category

Well, this is not an usable device but a part of a bigger device,
so here we want the opposite: not list this device in any category.

Maybe we could add a DEVICE_CATEGORY_COMPOSITE for all such QOM
types so management apps can filter them out? (And so we are sure
all QOM is classified).

Thomas, you already dealt with categorizing devices in the past,
what do you think about this? Who else could help? Maybe add
someone from libvirt in the thread?

If we could get to the point where we can assert() that
dc->categories is non-zero in class init, we would be able
to avoid further "forgot to categorize device" bugs getting
into the tree in future, which seems like an argument for
having some way of marking "really just an implementation
detail" devices I guess?

I guess we discussed this with Thomas 1 or 2 years ago
but I don't remember. I think it was about using set_bits()
so devices can appear in multiple categories.

Gerd, do you know what is the point of the "usb" category for
management apps? This is a bus accepting multiple better
categorized devices (display, storage, input, network, sound).

Unrelated but multiple devices are related to SECURITY.
Maybe it is time to introduce the DEVICE_CATEGORY_SECURITY?

My 0.02 € : Mark the device as user_creatable = false if it can not really
be used by the user with the -device CLI parameter. Then it also does not
need a category. I know Markus will likely have a different opinion, but in
my eyes it's just ugly if we present devices to the users that they can not use.
(By the way, this device here seems to be a decendant of TYPE_SYS_BUS_DEVICE
... shouldn't these show up as user_creatable = false automatically?)

IMHO we need:

  assert(dc->user_creatable == false ||  categories != 0)

then we don't need something like DEVICE_CATEGORY_COMPOSITE.

You're hurting my feelings!  ;-P

> my eyes it's just ugly if we present devices to the users that they can not use.

If we believe a device should only ever be used from C, then we should
keep it away from the UI.

However, I'm wary of overloading user_creatable.  Even though it has
shifted shape a number of times (cannot_instantiate_with_device_add_yet,
no_user, and now user_creatable), its purpose has always been focused:
distinguishing devices that can be instantiated by generic code from the
ones that need device-specific code.  See user_creatable's comment in
qdev-core.h.

I don't want to lose that distinction.  That's all.

> (By the way, this device here seems to be a decendant of TYPE_SYS_BUS_DEVICE
> ... shouldn't these show up as user_creatable = false automatically?)

Yes, unless it is a dynamic sysbus device (which I consider a flawed
concept).

But TYPE_CPRMAN_PLL is *not* a descendant of TYPE_SYS_BUS_DEVICE, it's a
bus-less device:

    static const TypeInfo cprman_pll_info = {
        .name = TYPE_CPRMAN_PLL,
--->    .parent = TYPE_DEVICE,
        .instance_size = sizeof(CprmanPllState),
        .class_init = pll_class_init,
        .instance_init = pll_init,
    };

Unless bus-less devices are somehow usable with -device, they should
have user_creatable = false.

qdev_device_add() looks like a bus-less device is usable if the machine
provides a hotplug handler for it.  Commit 03fcbd9dc5 "qdev: Check for
the availability of a hotplug controller before adding a device" seems
to be pertinent.

Are there any hotplug handlers for this device?  If yes, which machines
provide one?

I'm really dubious of devices that directly inherit from
TYPE_DEVICE, because their reset method won't be automatically
called. In this case it looks like the TYPE_BCM2835_CPRMAN
device's reset method manually calls reset on these devices,
though, so it isn't actually buggy, just confusing.

I guess this is a trap for unwary implementers, aggravated by our usual
dearth of qdev documentation.  I can see ~100 .parent = TYPE_DEVICE
lines.  Checking them all manually won't be fun.  Any automation ideas?

The concept "bus-less device" is sane.  We used not to have it, and the
resulting need for pseudo-busses was annoying enough to make us add
bus-less devices.

Right now we have the host adapters collected in the usb category.
Maybe we should rename the category to make that clear.

And, yes, tagging the u2f devices as "usb" doesn't look useful.

Either that, or place it in the "misc" category.

Yeah, the problem really is that our reset handling remains a
mess. I'm not sure (a) what the right model for reset is and
(b) what would be a feasible transition plan to get from
here to there...

Hi, Philippe
Thanks for your reply, but I'm not sure if it is appropriate to add a security category to place this device.
(Maybe it's because I don't know much about these device, I haven't find many safety-related devices in 'misc' category or uncategorized devices)

Thanks,

I agree, but marking user_creatable as false seems to make it deviate from its own meaning (like markus said).
Is there any other way to avoid presenting devices to the users in "-device help"?

Well, currently we have the user_creatable flag and the hotpluggable flag. I
guess that's simply not enough.

I think in the long run, we should maybe replace the two flags with a
"creatable" type instead that could take the following values:

 CREATABLE_AS_SUBDEVICE  /* Device is part of another device and
                            can only by added by code */
 CREATABLE_BY_QOM        /* Some fancy new QOM function can be
                            used to e.g. create this as part of
                            a machine */
 CREATABLE_BY_COLDPLUG   /* For cold-plugging via -device */
 CREATABLE_BY_HOTPLUG    /* For hot-plugging via device_add */

... but that's likely something for the distant future...

For hot-plug to actually work, both the plug / device and the socket /
bus need to support it.  CREATABLE_BY_HOTPLUG would be about the former.
The latter could depend on bus or machine state.

The future arrives when the need for it overcomes inertia :)

Should bus-less devices default to .user_creatable = false? (was: [PATCH 13/13] bcm2835_cprman: put some peripherals of bcm2835 cprman into the 'misc' category)

Nope.  A hotplug handler is only required for hot plug (d'oh!), not for
cold plug.  

I wonder whether bus-less devices should default to .user_creatable =
false like sysbus devices, and for the same reasons.

To actually *do* something, a physical device requires some connection
to the rest of the world.  Same for a virtual device (at least the ones
that model physical devices).

sysbus_device_class_init():

    /*
     * device_add plugs devices into a suitable bus.  For "real" buses,
     * that actually connects the device.  For sysbus, the connections
     * need to be made separately, and device_add can't do that.  The
     * device would be left unconnected, and will probably not work
     *
     * However, a few machines can handle device_add/-device with
     * a few specific sysbus devices. In those cases, the device
     * subclass needs to override it and set user_creatable=true.
     */
    k->user_creatable = false;

The reasoning applies to bus-less devices just as well, doesn't it?

I know at least two virtual devices that are bus-less and cold-pluggable:
hw/ppc/spapr_rng.c and hw/watchdog/wdt_diag288.c ... but we could certainly
mark them with user_creatable = true manually if we decide that bus-less
devices should be handled differently by default.

Just noticed "virtio_pmem_pci_class_init" is marked as DEVICE_CATEGORY_MISC.
So, both virtio-pmem & virtio_pmem_pci have the same device category?

In my opinion, devices that we forgot to classify will appear in "uncategorized" list, and devices that don't have a suitable category to choose will be put into "misc" category.

That's right. User-creatable devices should have a category, and the
uncategorized devices just have not been categorized yet.

So thanks for tackling this, Gan Qixin!
