Add reset_control_deassert_shared / reset_control_assert_shared
functions which are intended for use by drivers for hw blocks which
(may) share a reset line with another driver / hw block.

Unlike the regular reset_control_[de]assert functions these functions
keep track of how often deassert_shared / assert_shared have been called
and keep the line deasserted as long as deassert has been called more
times than assert.

Hi Hans,

thanks for moving this forward.

I'd move rcdev into reset_line, too. That way the description is
complete, and we don't duplicate rcdev when there are multiple
reset_controls pointing here.

WARN_ON(rstc->line->deassert_cnt == 0)

Actually, what to do in this case? Assume ops->assert was called, or do
it again to be sure? Certainly we don't want to wrap deassert_cnt, or
the next deassert_shared will do nothing.

deassert_cnt isn't protected by any lock.

lockdep_assert_held here and in reset_line_put would document that these
functions are called under reset_(controller_)list_mutex.

Let's rename it to reset_list_mutex, then.

"list of requested reset lines" or "list of reset lines in use" to make

Thanks for the quick review, I've a couple of (simple) questions
about your review remarks once those are cleared up I'll post a new version
(of just this patch).

I assume you mean deasser_cnt ? Seems reasonable with that change.

I take it this is to replace the text about "deassert count" ?

Right, good catch. I believe the best way to fix this is to change deassert_cnt
into an atomic_t and use atomic_dec_return / atomic_int_return,

Downside of using an atomic_t is that doing the WARN_ON you are asking for above
will not be race free, then, but since it is a should never happen scenario I
guess we do not care about the check not being 100% race free. Or we can even
just leave out the check ?

I meant refcnt. Currently drivers sharing reset lines (refcnt > 1)
and then using the non-shared reset control functions are bound to cause
unexpected behaviour. Now we can detect this for the first time.

I thought you might append something like it. I just imagine that when
reading the documentation it might be helpful to also see the intended
effect described, especially given that a call to an _assert_ function
might leave the reset line in deasserted state, depending on the
refcount.

Since this is only a warning to notify driver developers we don't
support shared resets (apart from the clock-like use)

Not if we warn about refcnt instead of deassert_cnt above.

Same imprecise answer. I'd like to see the expected state after calling
this function in the description, in addition to the mechanism. This is
more important for the assert function. After calling deassert, the
reset line is deasserted, no reason to be surprised about that.

Shouldn't that be handled in reset_control_get directly?

That would allow to share more code between the implementations, since
it would just be a flag to test in the get and not duplicate the
function definitions, and we could simply rely on the refcount to know
if we have to actually assert / deassert the device, in all the cases
(shared or not).

That would also allow us to catch easily if we're going to be able a
shared reset line or not, with the regular reset_control_get being
exclusive, and reset_control_get_shared or reset_control_get(..,
RESET_SHARED) being shared.

It would also avoid ending up with the shared variant used in every
generic driver eventually. We could just use the variant to see if we
have to use the shared get or not, and the rest of the driver is left
untouched, which is way less intrusive.

Moreover, it's also pretty much the pattern used everywhere else
(irqs, regulator, clocks, etc.), so it's going to be easier to review
as well.

This is about different expectations of the caller.
A driver calling reset_control_assert expects the reset line to be
asserted after the call. A driver calling reset_control_assert_shared
just signals that it doesn't care about the state of the reset line
anymore.
We could just as well call the two new functions
reset_control_deassert_get and reset_control_deassert_put.

What happens if you mix them? What happens if you have several drivers
ignoring this API?

The current default API totally allows to have several drivers getting
the same reset line, and happily poking that reset line without any
way for the others to A) know they're not the single users B) let them
know their device has been reset.

And not being able to tell at the consumer level if and when our
device is going to be reset behind our back is a big issue. Because
then, we simply have to expect it can be reset at any point in time,
good luck writing a driver with that expectation.

The reset framework should make sure that the shared case is an
exception, and not the default case (and make sure that it cannot
happen in the default case). Just like for any other framework with
similar resources constraints.

I think I see your point now. Maybe we should add a flags parameter to
reset_control_get and/or wrap it in two versions,
reset_control_get_exclusive and reset_control_get_shared (or just add
the _shared variant). Then reset_control_get(_exclusive) could return
-EBUSY if a reset line is already in use.

Also, that expected behavior matches the function name, which I like.
So I still welcome adding new API calls for the shared/refcounting
variant.

The core should give useful error messages and disallow non-shared reset
calls on shared lines.

That's why I'd like the WARN_ON and error return in reset_control_* when
the reset_line reference count is > 1.

Yes, that is unacceptable.

I guess the current assumption was that reset_control_get was
exclusive.

So we could have something like:

reset_control_get (..) {
  return __reset_control_get(.., 0);
}

reset_control_get_shared (..) {
  return __reset_control_get(.., RESET_SHARED);
}

And all the logic shared between the two, without exposing any flag
(that would change the prototype and require to fix every callers).

Yeah, but it's not said when it would happen, or if it happens
synchronously.

I guess we could also have something like this:

  * The driver gets the reference to the reset line using
    reset_control_get or its shared variant.

    - If you call reset_control_get on a free line, it succeeds, and
      marks the line in exclusive use.
    - If you call reset_control_get on a busy line, it fails with
      EBUSY

    - If you call the shared variant on a free line, it succeeds
    - If you call the shared variant on a busy exclusive line, it
      fails with EBUSY
    - If you call the shared variant on a busy !exclusive line, it
      succeeds.

  * The customer driver can then call reset_control_assert / deassert:

    - If the reset line is in exclusive use, the assertion happens
      right away, it succeeds and returns 0.

    - If the reset line is in a !exclusive use, but with a single
      user, the assertion happens right away, it succeeds and returns
      0.

    - If the reset line is in a !exclusive use with more than 1 user,
      the refcount is modified and an error is returned to notify that
      it didn't happen.

What do you think? That would work fine in both the case where you
care about the fact that the device has really been asserted (to
recover from an error for example) and the one when you don't really
care and you just want to give away your reset line (in a remove for
example).

I'd really like to avoid having shared variants of assert and
de-assert, since it will only spread out and end up being used in
drivers where most users don't have a shared reset line.

And if we want to avoid that, we'll end up in something like

if (struct->shared_reset)
	reset_control_assert_shared
else
	reset_control_assert

around *all* the calls in your driver.

Ack for all of the above, this is what I had in mind at first, but I started
with a more lightweight version as I'm lazy :)  If Philipp likes this
suggestion I can rework my patch-set into this.

Also ack, except for returning the error, if a driver has used
reset_control_get_shared, it should simply be aware that doing an assert
might not necessarily actually assert the line, just like doing a clk-disable
does not really necessary disable the clock, etc. If a driver is not prepared
to deal with this, it should simply not use reset_control_get_shared.

I see returning an error if the assert did not happen due to other users /
deassert_count != 0 as inconsistent compared to how clks, regulators and phys
handle this, these all simply return success in this case.

I wouldn't want drivers to have to differentiate between relevant and
irrelevant error codes, so in the clock-like refcounting use case
reset_assert should not return an error if it just correctly decremented
the refcount. I'd still prefer to have separate API for the counted
must_deassert/may_assert vs the exclusive must_assert/must_deassert use
cases, but I just can't think of a good name.

Maybe something along the lines of assert_now or assert_sync. It
should be possible to call on shared line and then get an error when
the operation is blocked by other user.

The driver may not really care. Depending on the hardware the line can
be shared on one device and exclusive on another. The driver may just
let the line go when the device is powered off. And it may require a
reset cycle when it detects the device is hosed and return an error
when the reset fails for whatever reason.

Thanks
