Re: [PATCH 3/3] staging: vme: make match() driver specific to improve non-VME64x support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Patches 1 and 2 are hunky dory. This one still needs a bit of work,
but not much really. See below.

All in all this is good stuff, keep it up!

Probably it makes more sense to handle this in vme.c:vme_add_bus(), since
the particular bridge drivers do not manage at all the device list.

I like this. All the management of both lists is now correctly done with
vme_buses_lock held--except, perhaps, the initialisation of the bridge list,
but that's ok.

Consider sending a subsequent patch cleaning up functions like these.
But don't do it in this patch; this patch, if anything, needs to go
on a diet.

I know you're keeping this comment from what's already in the file,
but personally I simply find it distracting.

Now the slot field has lots its meaning, and AFAICT its use, see below.

buses_lock is held upon calling the function. Good!

Leaving the previous label would be better, it's easier to review.

If __vme_register_driver() fails, we can be sure the created devices
(and their corresponding lists) have been cleaned up before the
function returned the failure. So here it seems clearer to call
unregister_driver().

All code operating on both lists is protected by vme_buses_lock, except the
one in this function, which seems dangerous. vme_unregister_driver may race
with vme_unregister_bridge. We need to acquire the lock here too.

As I mentioned earlier, AFAICT the slot field is meaningless now.

AFAICT this is an exported symbol that after this patch has no callers
and no meaning. Consider submitting a subsequent patch that removes it,
possibly together with the removal of struct vme_device_id.slot.
btw remember to update the documentation, I'm sure I'd forget.

So this should in fact be part of the "slot cleanup" patch.

As you can see the locking of this list and that on each bridge got
a bit complex. This is OK, locks tend to spread, but it's important
to be aware of it. Perhaps adding a comment somewhere (possibly
but not necessarily here) would avoid future bugs/deadlocks.
