An ATR is a device that looks similar to an i2c-mux: it has an I2C
slave "upstream" port and N master "downstream" ports, and forwards
transactions from upstream to the appropriate downstream port. But is
is different in that the forwarded transaction has a different slave
address. The address used on the upstream bus is called the "alias"
and is (potentially) different from the physical slave address of the
downstream chip.

Add a helper file (just like i2c-mux.c for a mux or switch) to allow
implementing ATR features in a device driver. The helper takes care or
adapter creation/destruction and translates addresses at each transaction.

     i2c-topology
     muxes/i2c-mux-gpio
     i2c-sysfs
+   muxes/i2c-atr

Doesn't make sense to group muxes/*, that they are following each other?

Ok.

Hmm... Are you going to maintain this? Or Review? Why not?

We haven't discussed with Luca if he wants to maintain this (this is mostly his code). But, indeed, I should add my name there.

Isn't it better to write this as

		void *new_buf;

		new_buf = kmalloc_array(num, sizeof(chan->orig_addrs[0]), GFP_KERNEL);
		if (!new_buf)
			return -ENOMEM;

Ok.

Remarks:
- note the style of the conditional
- why is it void?

No idea. I'll change it.


Also, does it make sense to use krealloc_array() or is it complete replacement
of the data?

The whole array will be rewritten, so we don't need to preserve the current data.

The buffer allocated here (i.e. orig_addrs) is only used for the duration of the i2c_atr_master_xfer(). So, we could allocate a new buffer for every xfer call, but to avoid that, we retain the old buffer. Any old data in the buffer can be discarded.

+		chan->orig_addrs = new_buf;
+		chan->orig_addrs_size = num;

[] in the function parameter is longer than * and actually doesn't make
difference in C. Ditto for the rest of similar cases.

Ok. I missed a few, it seems.

Can flags be fixed size (yes I understand that in our case short would probably
never be different to u16, but for the sake of clearness)?

The parameters and their types come from the ops in struct i2c_algorithm.

+	u16 alias_id = 0;

Can we split assignment from the definition and locate it closer to the first
use?

Actually, I don't think we need to initialize it at all. If attach_client() fails, we don't care about alias_id. If attach_client() succeeds, it _must_ return alias_id.

Useless assignment.

Yep.

On one line looks better.

I agree, but it doesn't fit into 80 characters. I personally think that's a too narrow a limit, but some maintainers absolutely require max 80 chars, so I try to limit the lines to 80 unless it looks really ugly.

It seems you have OF independent code, but by some reason you included of.h
instead of property.h. Am I right?

Just an leftover from the conversion from of to fwnode.

No NULL check?

Right, missed that.

Why WARNs? sysfs has already some in their implementation.

True, and I can drop these if required. But afaics, sysfs_create_link only warns if there's a duplicate entry, not for other errors.

Please don't dereference fwnode like this, we have dev_fwnode() for that.

Ok.

...

!

Yep.

...

Once line?

80 char limit here too. But I see that this is (kind of) broken. In the i2c_atr_add_adapter() I used dynamic alloc for the symlink_name, but here we still have the fixed size buffer.


...

+	atr_size = struct_size(atr, adapter, max_adapters);

+	if (atr_size == SIZE_MAX)
+		return ERR_PTR(-EOVERFLOW);

Dunno if you really need this to be separated from devm_kzalloc(), either way
you will get an error, but in embedded case it will be -ENOMEM.

Yep. Well... I kind of like it to be explicit. Calling alloc(SIZE_MAX) doesn't feel nice.

+	atr = devm_kzalloc(dev, atr_size, GFP_KERNEL);
+	if (!atr)
+		return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);

...

+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(i2c_atr_delete);

I would put these to their own namespace from day 1.

What would be the namespace? Isn't this something that should be subsystem-wide decision? I have to admit I have never used symbol namespaces, and don't know much about them.

??? Copy'n'paste typo?

No idea where that is from... I'll fix it.

No VLAs.

Ok.

I'm not arguing against any of the comments you've made, I think they are all valid, but I want to point out that many of them are in a code copied from i2c-mux.

Whether there's any value in keeping i2c-mux and i2c-atr similar in design/style... Maybe not.

Missing

struct fwnode_handle;

Ok.
