The description does not match what the patch does. The patch moves the test into of_{add,remove,update}_property() and out of of_property_notify() itself. That leaves one other caller of of_property_notify(); __of_changeset_entry_notify(). The effect of this patch is that applying a changeset will cause notifiers to be fired for each property modified in a changeset. The comment says nothing about the change in behaviour and it sounds like it is a bug fix when it doesn't actually change the behaviour at all for the of_{add,remove,update}_property() paths. This needs a better changelog. It needs to describe what the effects of the patch are and why the change is being made. When someone is bisecting a problem and they land on this change, the changelog needs to give them a good idea about what is going on and why. g. > > Signed-off-by: Pantelis Antoniou <pantelis.antoniou@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > --- > drivers/of/base.c | 9 ++++++--- > drivers/of/dynamic.c | 5 +---- > 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/of/base.c b/drivers/of/base.c > index 2305dc0..a79d4ee 100644 > --- a/drivers/of/base.c > +++ b/drivers/of/base.c > @@ -1695,7 +1695,8 @@ int of_add_property(struct device_node *np, struct property *prop) > > mutex_unlock(&of_mutex); > > - if (!rc) > + /* only call notifiers if the node is attached and no error occurred */ > + if (of_node_is_attached(np) && !rc) > of_property_notify(OF_RECONFIG_ADD_PROPERTY, np, prop, NULL); > > return rc; > @@ -1754,7 +1755,8 @@ int of_remove_property(struct device_node *np, struct property *prop) > > mutex_unlock(&of_mutex); > > - if (!rc) > + /* only call notifiers if the node is attached and no error occurred */ > + if (of_node_is_attached(np) && !rc) > of_property_notify(OF_RECONFIG_REMOVE_PROPERTY, np, prop, NULL); > > return rc; > @@ -1830,7 +1832,8 @@ int of_update_property(struct device_node *np, struct property *newprop) > > mutex_unlock(&of_mutex); > > - if (!rc) > + /* only call notifiers if the node is attached and no error occurred */ > + if (of_node_is_attached(np) && !rc) > of_property_notify(OF_RECONFIG_UPDATE_PROPERTY, np, newprop, oldprop); > > return rc; > diff --git a/drivers/of/dynamic.c b/drivers/of/dynamic.c > index f297891..8e8b614 100644 > --- a/drivers/of/dynamic.c > +++ b/drivers/of/dynamic.c > @@ -90,10 +90,6 @@ int of_property_notify(int action, struct device_node *np, > { > struct of_prop_reconfig pr; > > - /* only call notifiers if the node is attached */ > - if (!of_node_is_attached(np)) > - return 0; > - > pr.dn = np; > pr.prop = prop; > pr.old_prop = oldprop; > @@ -138,6 +134,7 @@ int of_attach_node(struct device_node *np) > __of_attach_node_sysfs(np); > mutex_unlock(&of_mutex); > > + /* node is guaranteed to be attached at this point */ > of_reconfig_notify(OF_RECONFIG_ATTACH_NODE, np); > > return 0; > -- > 1.7.12 > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
