See my concerns in patch 4/10.

In addition, shouldn't this be placed before device_register() for the
least? pm_runtime_enable() would require a matching pm_runtime_disable(),
and device_register() some unregistering behavior too.


G'day Ben,

Thanks for the review.
Yes this makes sense. I tried having it before the device_register and I get an error
about a kobject not being initialised in the a call from of_i2c_setup_smbus_alert.

Having a look at what I'm doing in of_i2c_setup_smbus_alert now I'm not sure there's
a need to bail out on an error now. Originally I was registering the irq in the setup call.
Which need to handle probe defer. Now this should be handled in the alert probe call.

WDYR?

Well, of_i2c_setup_smbus_alert() returns an error code, so it has to be
accounted for. If the error is not a reason to fail, you should at least
shout some error messages and act accordingly.

However, looking at of_i2c_setup_smbus_alert() again, I wonder if we
should not split it in 2: one part that checks for the OF flag presence
and bail out early if an error is encountered (before device
registration), and one part once the device is registered that calls
i2c_setup_smbus_alert(). In case of a failure here, we need to
unregister the adapter because we don't have all the elements at hands
(assuming we consider that smbus-alert should be mandatory).


G'day Benjamin,

Hi Phil,

[sorry for the lag, been busy with other topics + public holidays]


I've tried a couple of different ways of handling errors from of_i2c_setup_smbus_alert()
and not having much success.

Call of_i2c_setup_smbus_alert() before the device_register() call results in a kernel panic.

Yeah, i2c_setup_smbus_alert() basically creates an I2C device, so you
need to have the adapter registered before you can call it.


Call after device_register() and injecting an error into the of_i2c_setup_smbus_alert()
also results in a kernel panic.

I wonder if this is just not required at all to have a failure path that
will remove the smbusalert device. Because this is an I2C device, when
we unregister the adapter, it should properly remove all of its attached
devices.


On error I'm calling device_unregister()

I also tried spliting the device_unregister() call into
   device_initialize(dev);
   of_i2c_setup_smbus_alert()
   device_add(dev);

but that results in a crash in of_i2c_setup_smbus_alert()


If i2c_new_device() is not called then I get:

I'm at a real loss on how to safely handle the error from of_i2c_setup_smbus_alert()

Any hints as to what the correct way is to unregister the device?

I'd say try to register the smbus_alert device after the registering of
the adapter, and if it fails simply call the unregister from the
adapter. On remove, there might not need to do anything given that the
smbus_alert is an I2C client like every others.

I think my latest iteration of the patch solves this problem.
Testing error handling without unregistering does seem to be a problem.
I get kernel panics when I return an error from of_i2c_setup_smbus_alert().

I was missing the init_completion of dev_released.
Which I found in i2c_del_adapter().
