Now the question is how to deal with these. It's no critical things, so I'm OK to postpone for 4.15. OTOH, it's really a new device-specific stuff, thus it can't break anything else, and it'd be fairly safe to add it for 4.14 although it's at a bit late stage. IMO, it'd be great if you can carry all stuff through MFD tree; or create an immutable branch (again). But how to handle it, when to do it, It's all up to you guys. thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Since the mfd driver only instantiates platform devices there is only a runtime dependency between the drivers AFAICT so each driver can be merged through it own subsystem without problem / without the need for an immutable branch, or am I missing something ?

Yes, you are over 2 weeks late for v4.14. It will have to be v4.15. > IMO, it'd be great if you can carry all stuff through MFD tree; or > create an immutable branch (again). But how to handle it, when to do > it, It's all up to you guys. If there aren't any build dependencies between the patches, each of the patches should be applied through their own trees. What are the build-time dependencies? Are there any?

Yeah, it wouldn't do much harm other than containing the dead code. I'm afraid of missing kconfig or such error splat spotted by build bot, if we merge each commit individually. But maybe I have just too strong trauma of the build bot complaints :) thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

It's just that I don't see it nice to have a commit for a dead code, partly for testing purpose and partly for code consistency.

Just collect all the Acks you have received and sent out the set again changing [PATCH] for [RESEND]. Only if there haven't been any code changes of course.

But the merge order isn't guaranteed, i.e. at the commit of other tree for this new stuff, it's a dead code without merging the MFD stuff beforehand. e.g. Imagine to perform the git bisection. It's not about the whole tree, but about the each commit. And I won't be surprised if 0-day build bot gets a new feature to inspect the kconfig files, spot a dead kconfig entry and warn maintainers at each commit, too :) thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

It would be sort of good if the git history reflected that logical dependency.

No one is going to bisect the function of a feature until it is present.

It would be sort of > good if the git history reflected that logical dependency. We *never* do this. Only build-time dependencies warrant the hassle of immutable branches and cross-subsystem committing. Patches should be taken in via their own subsystems unless it would cause merge or build issues if we did.

When merging through several tress, commits for the same series are scattered completely although they are softly tied. This sucks when you perform git bisection, e.g. if you have an issue in the middle of the patch series. It still works, but it jumps unnecessarily too far away and back before reaching to the point, and kconfig appears / disappears inconsistently (the dependent kconfig gone in the middle). And, this is about the release kernel (4.15 or whatever). Basically, my complaint here comes with my user's hat on. It *is* indeed worse than a straight application of patches in some levels. It's unavoidable if you do in that way. OTOH, with maintainer's hat on, I do agree with that it'll make things often easier. Judging with these merits and demerits, I find it's acceptable, too. > No one is going to bisect the function of a feature until it > is present.

How can you guarantee that 0-days will not do that in future? I learned that I shouldn't be too naive about 0-day bot facility :) In anyway, as I already mentioned, I'm fine with taking changes individually in each tree.

Think about how bisection works. You state a good commit and a bad one. The good commit will be when the feature last worked, which will not be until the feature has fully landed. Bisect will not check any point prior to this date. If there aren't any build deps, each Maintainer will apply patches into their own tree. These will be merged together in -next where they can be tested, both manually and by the 0-days. Once the merge window is opened all patches will be sucked into -rc1. If the feature works here, then it you could use -rc1 as your 'good' commit. If it doesn't, then this could indicate a merge error or a missing piece of the set, either way bisect wouldn't help you. > Basically, my complaint here comes with my user's hat on. It *is* > indeed worse than a straight application of patches in some levels. > It's unavoidable if you do in that way. I disagree. I user wouldn't set the 'good' commit at any point prior to the feature working at least once. This will not happen if any parts were missing. The order in which the pieces are applied is irrelevant if there aren't any build deps between them. If you bisect between them, then the driver simply will not build.

First of all, most of user start testing from the release kernel, so you can't trust that RC covered all test cases. (Who can blame users who didn't use / test RC?) Second, you ignore the fact that the development continues after merging *this* patchset. What if a breakage is introduced after this patch? (See below) They often need a full bisection between the previous release and the current release. > > Basically, my complaint here comes with my user's hat on.

I user wouldn't set the 'good' commit at any point prior > to the feature working at least once. Again no, not all users do test at the same time. A device driver may support multiple devices / platforms, and it might be that the bug manifests itself only on a certain system that no one has tested beforehand; it's a typical case we often see after the releases. > This will not happen if any > parts were missing.

The bisection is required not only for build errors but also for functional tests. Sometimes it's the only way to spot the culprit of a functional regression. Imagine the following case: both MFD and platform drivers are merged into individual trees separately. And, some change in platform driver after this patch series broke some functionality mistakenly. Now, suppose that the platform tree is merged to Linus tree before MFD tree, that is, the situation is like: MFD (commit A1) -- ... -------------------------+ platform (commit B1) -> broken change (B2) -+ | v v --M1--M2--> Linus RC1 git-bisection can inspect M2, which shows already broken. Then it inspects M1, but you can't evaluate it because the target platform driver can't be built without A1. At this point, you're stuck. But in this case, B1 is correct and B2 is the culprit. How can you spot it out? OTOH, if the merge history honors the functional dependency, you can bisect properly. thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

In any case, I wouldn't mind it if you took the [3/3] from this series, because if there are any conflicts with it, they will be trivial to resolve. And I don't need an immutable branch with it or anything like that.

If the git history reflects the logical dependencies between patches, you should be able to figure out the reason why the code was changed this way (sometimes you can't anyway if commit logs suck, for example, but this is a different problem) which quite often is essential for debugging, backporting and similar.

(Who can blame users > who didn't use / test RC?) That's fine. We are not talking about spreading the merge of a patch-set over different releases, or even release candidates. All non-bugfix patches should be in by -rc1. > Second, you ignore the fact that the development continues after > merging *this* patchset. What if a breakage is introduced after this > patch? (See below) > > They often need a full bisection between the previous release and the > current release. You cannot bisect a specific function back before it was merged. It's impossible. P1 ---> P4 ---> P3 ---> P2 ^ Bisect only starts working here. Prior to this point the feature doesn't build at all. If it builds, but breaks, then that is a build dependency and is a different use-case to what we are discussing here. > > > Basically, my complaint here comes with my user's hat on.

If it is possible for a patch-set to break functionality, then again, this is a dependency and needs to be handled differently.

We only use bisect for features that have a working commit in Mainline. The use-case you mention would be pretty trivial to debug without bisect. When we tout "history must be bisectable", we mean that it must remain possible to bisect existing functionality. Bisecting functionality which is yet to fully land upstream is foolish. New drivers almost never (if ever) go in as a fully working piece. The registration parts (DT, Platform, etc) go in via one (or several) tree(s) and the driver parts are normally split up into subsystems and go in via their own repos. If there are *build*, *API* or *merge* time dependencies, then we can use immutable branches and merge via a single tree. Failing that, we split them.

The example you reference is a really small corner case (I don't recall an occurrence) and is very easy to debug without bisect. The pros of taking patches in via their pre-defined subsystem trees far outweighs the slight possibility and the debugging complexity of this example.

Meanwhile, with the straight merge, you can bisect a breakage. That's a significant difference. I.e. in the case where both commits A1, B1 and B2 are merged through tree A an B. B2 is the breakage. With separate tree merges, you cannot bisect, while the straight merge allows you to bisect B2.

Right, and that's really fundamental, because then the user can tell you "look, this commit doesn't work for me" instead of just "this kernel doesn't work for me" and now you need to spend *your* time on trying to figure out which commit may be at fault.

In the circles I spend time in ("we"), the former is the favourite. Until this point (and from this point going forward) we have taken the decision that the default is to take individual patches through their own trees. The only time this differs (unless other arrangements are made e.g. PATCH 3/3) is when there are; build, merge or API dependencies between them. The same stance is taken with driver/platform data and driver/other driver. Let me put one of the issues into context: For those reading along that do not know, Multi-Functional Devices are usually single pieces of silicon which provide many functions (e.g. LED Controllers, Voltage Regulation, Power Management, Sensors, Timers, GPIO/Pinctrl Controllers, Watchdog Timers, Real-Time Clocks, etc etc). The driver which sits in drivers/mfd acts as the parent device and registers its children which live in their own subsystems. Almost all of the patch-sets I receive touch multiple subsystems. Moreover, when the recently described dependencies occur, it is usually I who creates the immutable branches and sends out the pull-requests. If I had to go through the immutable branch/pull-request process for every patch-set I receive, there would be very little time to conduct duties pertaining to my proper job. Ergo, why we apply our own patches, unless there is a good reason (already described) to apply others too.

This certainly depends on the complexity. For a small patchset, merging in a shot is often a safer option. That is, when all parties agree, you can just apply all patches to your branch -- that's all. Other parties can simply pull this from your branch if needed. Of course, the branch needs to be immutable for that, but usually it's no big problem. (Ideally speaking, all the published branches should be persistent in anyway.) IIUC, it's the way Andy and Rafael suggested in the thread, and also seen in many other subsystems occasionally. > Until this point (and from this point going forward) we have taken the > decision that the default is to take individual patches through their > own trees.

Isn't it just a simple branch-off either from the certain upstream point (final release or rc) or from your stable branch? thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

When applying patches, I normally apply them to a mail folder for further processing. This works great for patches that are applied to my main branch, but this does not work for immutable branches. These have to be applied on their own, thus need a 'special' or at least an empty folder. - Checkout a new branch based on the same (or earlier, but I always use the same) commit as the main branch. - Apply the patches in the normal way, only this time you usually need to interactively rebase and 'reword' them to add any missing Acks/Reviewed-bys. - Tag and sign the branch with a suitable tag name and tag description. - Push branch and tag - Create pull-request text - Send a formatted email with the pull-request text. This process is quite a lot more involved than simply applying relevant patches to your main branch, and as I say, if this was required for all patch-sets I am sent or involved in, it would really eat into my day.

Well, this isn't always requested -- at least, the simple case like this one doesn't need to treat so much specially. We just need a persistent branch that will be never rebased. It's the only requirement. That said, it's even enough just to branch off from your normal MFD development branch, by a simple guarantee that you won't rebase *that* branch any longer. So, it's also a kind of "immutable branch", but it's much easier than your regular workflow for the complex merge below. Of course, a "cleaner" branch is preferred, but it doesn't matter much as long as all stuff there will be merged to upstream sooner or later. thanks, Takashi > > - Checkout a new branch based on the same (or earlier, but I always > use the same) commit as the main branch. > > - Apply the patches in the normal way, only this time you usually need > to interactively rebase and 'reword' them to add any missing > Acks/Reviewed-bys. > > - Tag and sign the branch with a suitable tag name and tag > description. > > - Push branch and tag > > - Create pull-request text > > - Send a formatted email with the pull-request text. > > This process is quite a lot more involved than simply applying > relevant patches to your main branch, and as I say, if this was > required for all patch-sets I am sent or involved in, it would really > eat into my day. > > -- > Lee Jones > Linaro STMicroelectronics Landing Team Lead > Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs > Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I thought it was Len and yourself. I do need help with code review at least in some areas, though. Some of this information is missing from MAINTAINERS, but I guess that can be addressed in this particular case. Mika, Andy, would it be OK to add you as reviewers for drivers/acpi/pmic/ to MAINTAINERS?

That's up to the Platform Maintainers. Since the MFD and ACPI are applied, you do not need to resend those. > BTW, was patch 2/3 applied? I miss your notification mail. Patch 2 needs to be applied into the Platform tree. Since there are no deps between the patches, they should be applied into their own trees (as previously discussed). I only applied the ACPI patch because Rafael asked me nicely. Normally this should have gone in separately too.

Actually, that's drivers/platform/x86/ so it falls under X86 PLATFORM DRIVERS and it has already been ACKed by Andy who is one of the maintainers of that.

Which also means all changes to this file due for v4.15 would have to come in via the MFD tree too. This is sub optimal IMHO. I'd rather it was fed through the proper tree(s), so we can continue our normal flow for subsequent changes.

Why can't it be immutable?

Firstly, the MFD main branch is not immutable. Secondly, you cannot simply pull a patch in from another tree. All of the patches before it and your local base will be pulled in too. This is why we create purposely created immutable branches which *only* contain the patches required by other repos. > > Which also means all changes to this > > file due for v4.15 would have to come in via the MFD tree too. > > > > This is sub optimal IMHO.

There are no valid reason to create an IB for this case.

If Andy is happy for me to apply the patch without an immutable branch, then I'll take it. But as I've already said, this it non-optimal. There is no reason why it can't be taken in via the Platform tree. Nothing depends on it and it depends on nothing, since it is new code. > On Thu, 24 Aug 2017 13:47:04 +0200, > Andy Shevchenko wrote: > > > > On Thu, Aug 24, 2017 at 12:45 PM, Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> wrote: > > > On Thu, 24 Aug 2017 11:20:04 +0200, > > > Andy Shevchenko wrote: > > >> > > >> On Thu, Aug 24, 2017 at 11:11 AM, Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> wrote: > > >> > This provides a new input driver for supporting the power button on > > >> > Dollar Cove TI PMIC, found on Cherrytrail-based devices. > > >> > The patch is based on the original work by Intel, found at: > > >> > https://github.com/01org/ProductionKernelQuilts > > >> > > > >> > Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=193891 > > >> > Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> > > >> > > >> Are you going to submit it via MFD? > > > > > > I really don't mind who takes what.

That's just my point. This approach is optimal. The alternative is that I (or someone else) jumps through the required hoops to create an immutable branch. As a one off, it's not actually that big of a deal. However, if I do it for you, I have to do it for every submitter, else it's not fair to them. MFD patch-sets inherently cross subsystem boundaries, which means I would end up taking many more patches than I do already. Subsequently the per-cycle MFD pull-request exponentially grows in size, as does my work load. This is the way we've been working for years, and it works really well. I'm not about to change something which isn't broken, just to avoid the really tiny corner-case you described before.

I don't understand why makes it so difficult. Looking at the procedure you mentioned in this thread: == 1. Checkout a new branch based on the same (or earlier, but I always use the same) commit as the main branch. 2. Apply the patches in the normal way, only this time you usually need to interactively rebase and 'reword' them to add any missing Acks/Reviewed-bys. 3. Tag and sign the branch with a suitable tag name and tag description. 4. Push branch and tag 5. Create pull-request text 6. Send a formatted email with the pull-request text. == 1 is easy, you can take 4.14-rc1 once when released. This kind of thing is done by many people regularly for opening a topic development branch. 2 is the very standard procedure. You'd need to add tags in anyway even for normal branches. 3, the signed tagging can be optional, only when requested. Of course, it's safer to have one, but not mandatory. Branch naming? It's not more difficult than thinking of the next android version code name :) 4, normal procedure. 5 and 6 are relaxed in this case, just a one-line notification mail to this thread should suffice. ... so I really can't see any specially time-consuming or exhausting step in the above. Usually most time-consuming stuff is rather the code review and the build test. But this isn't different from the normal case.

Yes, clearly. ;) Okay, I think we've spent enough time discussing this now. All of the information you need is contained in my previous emails. You now know all of the reasons for why we don't create immutable branches for every patch-set that comes in -- just ones which real dependencies. It's time to agree to disagree and get on with some real work. :)

No one would think that I'm special even if you would do that :) I can create such a branch by myself, and send you pull requests, if it's a preferred way. That's no problem. It'd be much less time than discussing in a too lengthy thread, honestly speaking. But maybe the problem isn't that... > MFD patch-sets inherently cross subsystem boundaries, which means I > would end up taking many more patches than I do already. Subsequently > the per-cycle MFD pull-request exponentially grows in size, as does my > work load. Yeah, I understand that. OTOH, I don't understand the reason to refuse the IB as much possible -- there are several ways to manage that more easily. For example, you can keep a persistent branch that can be branched off at any time for a new IB, while keeping another branch for regular, rather unstable patch applications. For linux-next, you can provide the temporary merged branch, too. It's a way some trees deploy. > This is the way we've been working for years, and it works really > well. I'm not about to change something which isn't broken, just to > avoid the really tiny corner-case you described before. I'd disagree about it being a tiny corner-case. It's fundamental to provide a solid code basis which user can test / development on. If we do release kernels more frequently, it shouldn't be a problem. (e.g. for a fix between RC's, it's fine to merge through individual trees.) But if the merge will be done first after 3 months, no one can guarantee what would happen in these 3 months. That's why we need the solid merge point to begin with. It allows a way to debug for potential breakage after that point. thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Yes, I am aware that some repos split themselves up into immutable branches, which can be independently pulled from. They clearly have more spare time than I do. These branches are usually only split up by topic within their own subject area/subsystem. They tend not to be full of cross-sub system patch-sets. > > This is the way we've been working for years, and it works really > > well.

Which is exactly what the current release model provides: All patches get dumped into a pile and tagged (-rc1), then developers get ~8 weeks to test their work and spot issues created by the merge and have a chance to fix any problems found prior to final release. It is this final release which forms the solid code base which you speak of. I haven't seen any issues that would warrant the over-the-top cautionary steps which you suggest, where IMHO the maintenance burden far outweighs the potential benefit. Right, this really is enough now. /out
