[PATCH v4 0/3] driver core: add probe error check helper

[PATCH v4 0/3] driver core: add probe error check helper

[Andrzej Hajda]

Hi Greg, Rafael,

This patchset proposes probe helper function which should simplify little bit
resource acquisition error handling, it also extend it with adding defer probe
reason to devices_deferred property:

This patchset is actually resend of the most important 1st and 2nd patch.

I have also attached patch adding probe_err_ptr - it will allow to replace
quite frequent calls:
    probe_err(dev, PTR_ERR(ptr), ...)
with
    probe_err_ptr(dev, ptr, ...)

I have dropped the last patch showing usage of probe_err(_ptr)? as it is
very big, should be split per subsystem, and should be applied after merge
of patches introducing probe_err(_ptr) helpers.

Just for the record - my dirty cocci script generates patch which replaces
code with probe_err* helpers with following stats (on linux_next branch):
   1585 probe_err
   1194 probe_err_ptr
   1638 files changed, 6487 insertions(+), 9163 deletions(-).
Of course there are much more places where probe_err* can be applied, the script
tries to catch the most obvious ones.
More importantly probe_err should handle probe errors more correctly
and uniformly than it is done now.

If this patchset will be accepted I will try to send patches introducing probe_err*
per subsystem.

Regards
Andrzej

[PATCH v4 1/3] driver core: add probe_err log helper

[Andrzej Hajda]

During probe every time driver gets resource it should usually check for error
printk some message if it is not -EPROBE_DEFER and return the error. This
pattern is simple but requires adding few lines after any resource acquisition
code, as a result it is often omited or implemented only partially.
probe_err helps to replace such code sequences with simple call, so code:
	if (err != -EPROBE_DEFER)
		dev_err(dev, ...);
	return err;
becomes:
	return probe_err(dev, err, ...);

[PATCH v4 2/3] driver core: add deferring probe reason to devices_deferred property

[Andrzej Hajda]

/sys/kernel/debug/devices_deferred property contains list of deferred devices.
This list does not contain reason why the driver deferred probe, the patch
improves it.
The natural place to set the reason is probe_err function introduced recently,
ie. if probe_err will be called with -EPROBE_DEFER instead of printk the message
will be attached to deferred device and printed when user read devices_deferred
property.

  - removed NULL check before kfree,

v3:

  - changed conditonal check to positive,
  - added R-b by Andy.
v2:
  - changed __deferred_probe_set_msg args - like in __dev_printk, fits better,

[PATCH v4 3/3] driver core: add probe_err_ptr helper

probe_err is useful in multiple contexts where error is encoded in pointer.
Adding helper performing conversion to error value should simplify code
further.

I'm not entirely convinced that the dev_err() log level is adequate
for this purpose, but anyway it looks like this may reduce code
duplication quite a bit, so

Many drivers will never use this, so is the memory overhead justified?

Why do you also need the dev driver string here?  Don't you get it
automatically when you print out the list in deferred_devs_show()?

How about we just wait on this patch, it seems very unneeded.  Or at
least I can't see who would need this, what can a user do with this
information?

Can you show a driver being converted to use this to show if it really
will save a bunch of lines and make things simpler?  Usually you are
requesting lots of resources so you need to do more than just return,
you need to clean stuff up first.

I have posted sample conversion patch (generated by cocci) in previous
version of this patchset [1].

I did not re-posted it again as it is quite big patch and it will not be
applied without prior splitting it per subsystem.

Regarding stuff cleaning: devm_* usually makes it unnecessary, but also
even with necessary cleaning you can profit from probe_err, you just
calls it without leaving probe - you have still handled correctly probe
deferring.

Here is sample usage (taken from beginning of the mentioned patch):

---
diff --git a/drivers/ata/libahci_platform.c b/drivers/ata/libahci_platform.c
index 4b900fc659f7..52e891fe1586 100644
--- a/drivers/ata/libahci_platform.c
+++ b/drivers/ata/libahci_platform.c
@@ -581,11 +581,8 @@ int ahci_platform_init_host(struct platform_device *pdev,
 	int i, irq, n_ports, rc;
 
 	irq = platform_get_irq(pdev, 0);

-		if (irq != -EPROBE_DEFER)
-			dev_err(dev, "no irq\n");
-		return irq;
-	}
+	if (irq <= 0)
+		return probe_err(dev, irq, "no irq\n");

---

And there is plenty of such places, with new version of cocci script I can locate about 2700 such cases, and it is still far from completeness.

Deferred device is not bound to driver.

It should be quite helpful in case of deferred probing, solving
mysteries why given device is not bound to the driver is very common in
mobile world.

And since deferal should not be treated as an error grepping dmesg often
does not help.

I can try to move it somewhere else if it is a problem.

Putting it here seems quite natural - near deferred_probe field which
should have similar number of users.

[PATCH] PCI: pcie-rockchip: use probe_err helpers instead of open coding

[Andrzej Hajda]

probe_err helpers makes probe error handling easier and less error prone.

Signed-off-by: Andrzej Hajda <a.hajda@samsung.com>

Hi all,

This is sample conversion of one of drivers to proposed probe_err* helpers.
It was created to convince Greg that these helpers are useful.
With this helper we gain:
- corect error handling (deferral does not spam dmesg, other errors are logged),
- uniform error logging,
- simplified code,
- possibilty to check why some devices are deferred,
- shorter code.
Here are links to patchsets adding helpers v1[1], v4[2], in v1 I have added
big patch doing conversion to probe_err to show scale of the 'issue'.
If the helpers will be accepted I plan to send patches converting other drivers
as well.

Shouldn't platform_get_irq (or what it calls) print the error message
(like we do for kmalloc), rather than every driver? We could get rid
of lots of error strings that way. I guess there are cases where no
irq is not an error and we wouldn't want to always print an error. In
some cases like that, we have 2 versions of the function.

Not what you're addressing here exactly, but what I'd like to see is
the ability to print the exact locations generating errors in the
first place. That would require wrapping all the error code
assignments and returns (or at least the common sources). If we're
going to make tree wide changes, then that might be the better place
to put the effort. If we had that, then maybe we'd need a lot fewer
error messages in drivers. I did a prototype implementation and
coccinelle script a while back that I could dust off if there's
interest. It was helpful in finding the source of errors, but did have
some false positives printed.

[PATCH] driver core: platform: Add an error message to platform_get_irq*()

[Stephen Boyd]

A grep of the kernel shows that many drivers print an error message if
they fail to get the irq they're looking for. Furthermore, those drivers
all decide to print the device name, or not, and the irq they were
requesting, or not, etc. Let's consolidate all these error messages into
the API itself, allowing us to get rid of the error messages in each
driver.

Yes it should. Just by coincidence, I got around to implementing this
patch yesterday after I bemoaned this on the list a few months ago[1].

That could be done with some macro magic to add __line__ and __FILE__
into a definition of the "important" functions. In that sense nothing
would really need to change besides the implementation, right?

I also started working on a cocci script to fix up the call sites to
drop the extra prints, but I'm really bad at writing semantic patches so
please help improve the below. My simple grep shows that we can remove
~500 error prints out of the 1500 places the platform_get_irq()
functions are called.

Please don't use the notation IRQn - this is normally used when
referring to interrupt numbers (such as those seen in
/proc/interrupts) rather than a per-device interrupt index.
Grep for IRQ% in drivers/ for many examples.

dev_err(&dev->dev, "IRQ index %u not found: %d\n", num, ret);

would be better - note also the use of %u for unsigned integers.
Using %d for them is IMHO sloppy coding.

kmalloc prints error and stack trace because it shows shortage of common
resource used by everyone, quite different thing than irq specific for
given device. Usually only device driver knows if error in irq acquiring
should be reported to user, and how it should be reported.

The example is for irq, but the question about the best way of reporting
error stands for all other resource acquisitions: gpios, regulators,
clocks,....

Alternative ways I see for now:

1. Do it in the consumer, like it is done now - in such case probe_err
seems to be a good helper.

2. Do it in the provider's framework, in such case framework should know
if the error should be printed:

  a) by calling special versions of all allocators,

  b) by adding extra argument to all allocators,

  c) adding extra flag to struct device (it is passed to most allocators)

3. By creating generic allocator for multiple resources, something
similar to what I have proposed few years ago in "resource tracking"
framework [1]. For example:

  ret = devm_resources_get(dev,

    res_irq_desc(&ctx->irq, 0),

    res_clk_desc(&ctx->clk, "bus_clk"),

    res_gpio_desc(&ctx->enable_gpio, "enable", GPIOD_OUT_HIGH),

    ...

  );

  Error reporting would be performed in this universal allocator.


If we want to perform brave changes I would opt for 3 - it is very
common to allocate multiple resources in probe, compacting it into one
helper should significantly simplify the code.

Option 1 is the simplest one - we do not change existing practices - so
it is the best in case of conservative approach.

I have mixed feelings about 2c, practically it looks quite tempting - we
get what we want with minimal effort, but I am not sure if polluting
struct device with 'presentation' layer is a good solution.

I do not like 2a neither 2b - alternatives between function namespace
pollution and argument list pollution.

I guess that in case of resource acquisition it is usually easy to
locate place the error was reported, if the error message is informative
enough, exact line number/function name seems to me overkill.

Sure! I'll use that one.

[PATCH v2] driver core: platform: Add an error message to platform_get_irq*()

[Stephen Boyd]

A grep of the kernel shows that many drivers print an error message if
they fail to get the irq they're looking for. Furthermore, those drivers
all decide to print the device name, or not, and the irq they were
requesting, or not, etc. Let's consolidate all these error messages into
the API itself, allowing us to get rid of the error messages in each
driver.

Hmm... Why not just  do
int  ret = __plaform_get_irq();
if (ret)
 dev_err();
return ret;

instead of big refactoring of platform_get_irq()?

Sure. Thanks for the suggestion. But we need to check for ret < 0 I
suppose so that we don't print an error message for all the irq numbers.
I'll send the updated patch as a v3.

I don't see much benefit to seeing -ENXIO or -EINVAL printed here, so I
left out the error code.

OK, so the value of the message is to tell the user that some driver
asked for an invalid IRQ, right?
