Ok a few things on more the design of this all:
- This patch switches vkms over to be a real platform driver with
probe/remove hooks. Fine with me, but would need to be split out and
properly justified with some reason.
Also if we do this, we don't need our own devres group anymore, that's
redundant.
- Now on the actual configfs prep work, the issue is that configfs and
drm_device have independent lifetimes, and we cannot have links between
the two. The configfs structures might have shorter lifetime thatn the
vkms_device (and there's no refcounting on configfs afaict), which means
we cannot have a backpointer from vkms_device to configfs. We can only
rely on configfs being around during the probe/init code, thanks to the
configfs mutex.
This is why the refactoring to use vkms_config was done, so that
configfs becomes a two-step process: 1. convert the configfs data into a
struct vkms_config 2. initialize the vkms device using that stand-alone
vkms_config.
Now I understand that this is quite a bit of work, but I think it would
also lead to somewhat more robust code (stuff like the lifetime bugs in
the connector hotplug patch become impossible). So before we go into
details, we need to make a decision whether we stick with the
vkms_config design, or whether we just have two separate paths: a)
default device setup and b) configfs dynamic setup. Imo this also needs
an ack from Maíra.
- If we stick with the split approach then we need a few changes.
- The vkms_device->configfs backpointer needs to go, it's fundamentally
busted. Instead I think it's best we pass the configfs pointer around
directly during init time.
- I think we should clearly split the default and configfs paths with
explicit suffixes in the relevant functions (like
vkms_output_init_default/configfs) and explicitly passing parameters
around.
- the vkms_config design doesn't have a use anymore, imo we should
simplify the _default() paths to again just look at the module
parameters. But only if we go the route of having split setup paths.
- Data that's only relevant for one or the other paths needs to be
removed from global structures. This would be vkms_config and
vkms_output in vkms_device (the latter is left around, which is very
confusing since the configfs path doesn't use that at all).
- Going with a real platform driver means passing arguments to
probe/init becomes tricky. Using the platform data seems like a good
approach, but we must ensure that we clear that again when we remove
the platform_device. Note that with a real driver userspace can
unbind/rebind the driver through sysfs, which means we must keep the
configfs pointer valid until the device is removed, to make sure that
these subsequent re-probe calls still work. These complications are
also the reasons why I think we should only switch to a real platform
driver if there's a reason, a lot of things become a lot more
complicated and dynamic and tricky with this.
Also this means that driver code could try to look at configfs even
after probe/init is finished, which is buggy but would mostly work
(unless you really carefully race hotunplug against other driver
code). So potential for some tricky bugs. That's why I think we should
explicitly pass the configfs pointer as a function parameter and only
grab it from the platform_data in ->probe once (and put a comment
there why this is really tricky).
Anyway before we proceed I think we need consensus on these 2 design
questions.
