Revert "driver core: shut down devices asynchronously"

2024-09-25T09:01:27+00:00

This reverts commit 8064952c65045f05ee2671fe437770e50c151776. The series is being reverted before -rc1 as there are still reports of lockups on shutdown, so it's not quite ready for "prime time."

driver core: shut down devices asynchronously

2024-09-03T11:06:43+00:00

Add code to allow asynchronous shutdown of devices, ensuring that each device is shut down before its parents & suppliers. Only devices with drivers that have async_shutdown_enable enabled will be shut down asynchronously. This can dramatically reduce system shutdown/reboot time on systems that have multiple devices that take many seconds to shut down (like certain NVMe drives). On one system tested, the shutdown time went from 11 minutes without this patch to 55 seconds with the patch.

drivers/base: Introduce device_match_t for device finding APIs

2024-09-03T10:48:51+00:00

There are several drivers/base APIs for finding a specific device, and they currently use the following good type for the @match parameter: int (*match)(struct device *dev, const void *data) Since these operations do not modify the caller-provided @*data, this type is worthy of a dedicated typedef: typedef int (*device_match_t)(struct device *dev, const void *data) Advantages of using device_match_t: - Shorter API declarations and definitions - Prevent further APIs from using a bad type for @match So introduce device_match_t and apply it to the existing (bus|class|driver|auxiliary)_find_device() APIs.

driver core: make driver_find_device() take a const *

2024-07-10T07:41:57+00:00

The function driver_find_device() does not modify the struct device_driver structure directly, so it is safe to be marked as a constant pointer type. As that is fixed up, also change the function signature on the inline functions that call this, which are: driver_find_device_by_name() driver_find_device_by_of_node() driver_find_device_by_devt() driver_find_next_device() driver_find_device_by_acpi_dev() Cc: "Rafael J.

driver core: make driver_[create|remove]_file take a const *

2024-07-10T07:36:02+00:00

The functions driver_create_file() and driver_remove_file() do not modify the struct device_driver structure directly, so they are safe to be marked as a constant pointer type. Cc: "Rafael J.

driver core: return bool from driver_probe_done

2023-06-05T16:55:20+00:00

bool is the most sensible return value for a yes/no return. Also add __init as this funtion is only called from the early boot code. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230531125535.676098-2-hch@lst.de Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

driver core: driver.h: remove extern from function prototypes

2023-03-24T14:35:42+00:00

The kernel coding style does not require 'extern' in function prototypes in .h files, so remove them from include/linux/device/driver.h as they are not needed. Acked-by: Rafael J.

driver core: make the bus_type in struct device_driver constant

2023-03-23T12:21:26+00:00

The pointer to struct bus_type in struct device_driver should only be pointing to something that can never change now that the driver core has fixed up the previously writable fields. So mark it as a constant pointer to enforce this and move forward with the goal of moving bus_type into read-only memory. Cc: "Rafael J.
