[RFC] New system device API

Patrick Mochel (mochel@osdl.org)
Fri, 6 Jun 2003 18:18:30 -0700 (PDT)


I've changed the way that the driver model handles system devices,
simplifying the internal representation, the external representation, and
the cumbersome registration method.

System devices are special, and after two years of listening to Linus
preach this, it finally sunk in enough to do something about. We don't
need to regard them as real devices that reside on a peripheral bus and
can be dynamically bound to drivers. If we discover, e.g. a CPU, we know
by default that we have a driver for it, and we know damn well that we
have a CPU. We still need to keep track of all the devices, and all the
devices of a particular type. The kobject infrastructure allows us to do
this, without the overhead of the regular model.

A new subsystem is defined that registers as a child object of
devices_subsys, giving us:

/sys/devices/system/

struct sysdev_class {
struct list_head drivers;

/* Default operations for these types of devices */
int (*shutdown)(struct sys_device *);
int (*suspend)(struct sys_device *, u32 state);
int (*resume)(struct sys_device *);
struct kset kset;
};

Defines a type of system device. These are registered on startup, by e.g.
drivers/base/cpu.c. The methods are default operations for devices of that
type that may or may not be used. For things like the i8259 controller,
these will be filled in, since it is registered by the same component that
the device controls reside in.

For things like CPUs, generic code will register the class, but other
architecture-specific or otherwise configurable drivers may register
auxillary drivers, that look like:

struct sysdev_driver {
struct list_head entry;
int (*add)(struct sys_device *);
int (*remove)(struct sys_device *);
int (*shutdown)(struct sys_device *);
int (*suspend)(struct sys_device *, u32 state);
int (*resume)(struct sys_device *);
};

Each auxillary driver gets called during each operation on a device of a
particular class.

Auxillary drivers may register with a NULL class parameter, in which case
they will be added to a list of 'global drivers' that get called for each
device of each class.

Besides providing a decent of cleanup for system device drivers, this also
allows:

- Special handling of system devices during power transitions.

We no longer have to worry about shutting down the PIC before we shut
down any devices. We can shut down the system devices after we've shut
down every other device.

Ditto for suspend/resume cycles. Almost (if not) all PM actions for
system devices happen with interrupts off, and require only one call,
which makes that easier. But, we can also make sure we take care of
these last during suspend and first during resume.

- Easy expression of configurable device-specific interfaces.

Namely cpufreq and mtrr. We don't have to worry about mispresentation in
the driver model (like recent MTRR patches) or using a cumbersome
interface ({device,class}_interface) that don't receive all the
necessary calls.

- Consolidation of userspace representation.

No longer do we have /sys/devices/sys, /sys/bus/sys, and /sys/class/cpu,
etc. We have only /sys/devices/system:

# tree /sys/devices/system/
/sys/devices/system/
|-- cpu
| `-- cpu0
|-- i8259
| `-- i82590
|-- lapic
| `-- lapic0
|-- rtc
| `-- rtc0
`-- timer
`-- timer0

Each directory in 'system' is the class, and each directory under that is
the instance of each device in that class.

This is an experimental patch that hasn't been checked in yet. I'm
interested in hearing what people think of it, especially the cpufreq
people[1] and the NUMA people[2], since they are the biggest users of this
code so far. If all is positive, or nothing is negative, I'll push this on
to Linus early next week.

Thanks,

-pat

[1] cpufreq

I know that this patch will completely break the cpufreq code, and I will
gladly fix it all up. This shouldn't impact the rest of the code, though
the location in userspace will be different.

[2] NUMA

This will also break NUMA system device handling. I've abolished struct
sys_root. I think each node should register as a system device, which will
show up as /sys/devices/system/node? You should also register a
sysdev_driver with a NULL class, so you get add/remove calls for each
device. Assuming you can tell which node a device is on, you can create
symlinks from the nodes' directories to the devices' real directories.
This will give everyone the same interface in /sys/devices/system, plus
give you the extra topology information. I'll gladly do the legwork on
this if someone is willing to test..
