Yeah ok.

Most of this is actually tied to auto_boot if you think about it, not just the rproc state. If we have auto_boot set to false, then rproc_add() would not do anything, and the decision to start or attach can either be done through the sysfs/cdev or a kernel remoteproc or some consumer driver. And the state machine is getting influenced by this flag. auto-boot is a very useful feature. You are asking is to do things differently between the regular start/stop case and attach/detach case ignoring the auto-boot. The semantic symmetry actually makes it easier to follow the state machine given that there are some internal reference counts as well. Note that we also have the devres API, and rproc_alloc()/rproc_free() and rproc_add()/rproc_del() form the main remoteproc subsystem API. The drivers would end up using matching calls if we don't have auto_boot. > >> While what you have suggested works, but I am not quite convinced on this >> asymmetric usage, and why this state-machine logic should be split between the >> core and remoteproc drivers differently between attach and detach.

So I would definitely want to hear from others as well on this before we spend any time reworking code. Meanwhile, how do I take this series forward? One option I can probably do is turn off auto-boot for early-boot case in my drivers and do the matching attach/detach. regards Suman >> >> >> Conditions such as the above make the core code >>> brittle, difficult to understand and tedious to maintain. >> >> The logic I have added actually makes rproc_shutdown behavior to be on par with >> the rproc_boot(). >> >> regards >> Suman >> >>> >>> Thanks, >>> Mathieu >>> >>>> if (ret) { >>>> atomic_inc(&rproc->power); >>>> goto out; >>>> diff --git a/drivers/remoteproc/remoteproc_sysfs.c b/drivers/remoteproc/remoteproc_sysfs.c >>>> index ea8b89f97d7b..133e766f38d4 100644 >>>> --- a/drivers/remoteproc/remoteproc_sysfs.c >>>> +++ b/drivers/remoteproc/remoteproc_sysfs.c >>>> @@ -206,6 +206,12 @@ static ssize_t state_store(struct device *dev, >>>> rproc->state != RPROC_ATTACHED) >>>> return -EINVAL; >>>> >>>> + if (rproc->state == RPROC_ATTACHED && >>>> + !rproc->ops->stop) { >>>> + dev_err(&rproc->dev, "stop not supported for this rproc, use detach\n"); >>>> + return -EINVAL; >>>> + } >>>> + >>>> rproc_shutdown(rproc); >>>> } else if (sysfs_streq(buf, "detach")) { >>>> if (rproc->state != RPROC_ATTACHED) >>>> -- >>>> 2.32.0 >>>> >>
