[PATCH v6 0/2] staging: ion: get one device per heap

[PATCH v6 0/2] staging: ion: get one device per heap

[Benjamin Gaignard]

version 6:
- add platform_bus and platform_bus_type when register Ion devices
  to make them appear in /sys/devices/platform.
- re-order include files in aphabetic order.

version 5:
- create a configuration flag to keep legacy Ion misc device

version 4:
- add a configuration flag to switch between legacy Ion misc device
  and one device per heap version.
  This change has been suggested after Laura talks at XDC 2017.

version 3:
- change ion_device_add_heap prototype to return a possible error.

version 2:
- simplify ioctl check like propose by Dan
- make sure that we don't register more than ION_DEV_MAX heaps.

Until now all ion heaps are addressing using the same device "/dev/ion".
This way of working doesn't allow to give access rights (for example with
SElinux rules) per heap.
This series propose to have one device "/dev/ionX" per heap.
Query heaps informations will be possible on each device node but
allocation request will only be possible if heap_mask_id match with device minor number.

Using legacy Ion misc device is still by setting ION_LEGACY_DEVICE_API
configuration flag.

[PATCH v6 2/2] staging: ion: create one device entry per heap

[Benjamin Gaignard]

Instead a getting only one common device "/dev/ion" for
all the heaps this patch allow to create one device
entry ("/dev/ionX") per heap.
Getting an entry per heap could allow to set security rules
per heap and global ones for all heaps.

Allocation requests will be only allowed if the mask_id
match with device minor.
Query request could be done on any of the devices.

Ion devices are parentless so it is need to add platform_bus as
parent and platform_bus_type as bus to be put in /sys/device/paltform.
Those two parameters need platform_device.h to be included but 
include files weren't in alphabetic order so I reorder them correctly.

nit: paltform -> platform.

I'm wondering if we should always keep /dev/ion for the query
ioctl and just disallow allocation from /dev/ion. I guess
running the query ioctl on /dev/ion0 always wouldn't be too
bad? Anyone else have strong opinions?

I'm not a fan of the platform bus but I have mixed feelings about
creating a dedicated bus type. I guess if we really need a bus
type we can do it later?

There was a discussion a while ago in the context of I2C/SPI MFDs
which concluded that if you need a bus and it's going to be effectively
noop then you should just use the platform bus as anything else will
consist almost entirely of cut'n'paste from the platform bus with some
light sed usage and code duplication is bad.  It's not super lovely as
it's not actually a memory mapped device but it's the best idea we've
got.

Ugh, I hate that.  What's wrong with using a "virtual" device instead?

I can create a "virtual" bus for things like this if they really want a
"simple" bus, abusing platform for this is the major reason I hate the
platform bus code...

It was the duplication, initially everyone was making buses.

In the MFD case they're physical devices, they're just usually on the
wrong side of an I2C or SPI link.  Plus MFD already handles platform
devices for things that are memory mapped so it's a bit of a more
natural fit there.

What I can do is to register an ion bus (like cec one for example),
add one ion parent device so heaps will appear in /sys/bus/ion/ion*
and /sys/devices/ion/ion*

Does that could sound good enough ?

I would like to see that...

[PATCH v6 0/2] staging: ion: get one device per heap

[Benjamin Gaignard]

version 6:
- add an ION bus so heap are show as devices in /sys/bus/ion/
  instead of platform bus.
- split the patch in two: one for include reordering and one
  for per heap device change
- rebased on top of next-2017110 tag

version 5:
- create a configuration flag to keep legacy Ion misc device

version 4:
- add a configuration flag to switch between legacy Ion misc device
  and one device per heap version.
  This change has been suggested after Laura talks at XDC 2017.

version 3:
- change ion_device_add_heap prototype to return a possible error.

version 2:
- simplify ioctl check like propose by Dan
- make sure that we don't register more than ION_DEV_MAX heaps.

Until now all ion heaps are addressing using the same device "/dev/ion".
This way of working doesn't allow to give access rights (for example with
SElinux rules) per heap.
This series propose to have one device "/dev/ionX" per heap.
Query heaps informations will be possible on each device node but
allocation request will only be possible if heap_mask_id match with device minor number.

Using legacy Ion misc device is still by setting ION_LEGACY_DEVICE_API
configuration flag.
