When a hotplug driver calls pci_hp_register(), all steps necessary for
registration are carried out in one go, including creation of a kobject
and addition to sysfs.  That's a problem for pciehp once it's converted
to enable/disable the slot exclusively from the IRQ thread:  The thread
needs to be spawned after creation of the kobject (because it uses the
kobject's name), but before addition to sysfs (because it will handle
enable/disable requests submitted via sysfs).

pci_hp_deregister() does offer a ->release callback that's invoked
after deletion from sysfs and before destruction of the kobject.  But
because pci_hp_register() doesn't offer a counterpart, hotplug drivers'
->probe and ->remove code becomes asymmetric, which is error prone
as recently discovered use-after-free bugs in pciehp's ->remove hook
have shown.

In a sense, this appears to be a case of the midlayer antipattern:

   "The core thesis of the "midlayer mistake" is that midlayers are
    bad and should not exist.  That common functionality which it is
    so tempting to put in a midlayer should instead be provided as
    library routines which can [be] used, augmented, or ignored by
    each bottom level driver independently.  Thus every subsystem
    that supports multiple implementations (or drivers) should
    provide a very thin top layer which calls directly into the
    bottom layer drivers, and a rich library of support code that
    eases the implementation of those drivers.  This library is
    available to, but not forced upon, those drivers."
        --  Neil Brown (2009), https://lwn.net/Articles/336262/

The presence of midlayer traits in the PCI hotplug core might be ascribed
to its age:  When it was introduced in February 2002, the blessings of a
library approach might not have been well known:
https://git.kernel.org/tglx/history/c/a8a2069f432c

For comparison, the driver core does offer split functions for creating
a kobject (device_initialize()) and addition to sysfs (device_add()) as
an alternative to carrying out everything at once (device_register()).
This was introduced in October 2002:
https://git.kernel.org/tglx/history/c/8b290eb19962

The odd ->release callback in the PCI hotplug core was added in 2003:
https://git.kernel.org/tglx/history/c/69f8d663b595

Clearly, a library approach would not force every hotplug driver to
implement a ->release callback, but rather allow the driver to remove
the sysfs files, release its data structures and finally destroy the
kobject.  Alternatively, a driver may choose to remove everything with
pci_hp_deregister(), then release its data structures.

To this end, offer drivers pci_hp_initialize() and pci_hp_add() as a
split-up version of pci_hp_register().  Likewise, offer pci_hp_del()
and pci_hp_destroy() as a split-up version of pci_hp_deregister().

Eliminate the ->release callback and move its code into each driver's
teardown routine.

Declare pci_hp_deregister() void, in keeping with the usual kernel
pattern that enablement can fail, but disablement cannot.  It only
returned an error if the caller passed in a NULL pointer or a slot which
has never or is no longer registered or is sharing its name with another
slot.  Those would be bugs, so WARN about them.  Few hotplug drivers
actually checked the return value and those that did only printed a
useless error message to dmesg.  Remove that.

For most drivers the conversion was straightforward since it doesn't
matter whether the code in the ->release callback is executed before or
after destruction of the kobject.  But in the case of ibmphp, it was
unclear to me whether setting slot_cur->ctrl and slot_cur->bus_on to
NULL needs to happen before the kobject is destroyed, so I erred on
the side of caution and ensured that the order stays the same.  Another
nontrivial case is pnv_php, I've found the list and kref logic difficult
to understand, however my impression was that it is safe to delete the
list element and drop the references until after the kobject is
destroyed.

So, as far as I can see these are just mechanical changes due to
internal API change.

Hi Andy, I'm not sure what you intend by "PDx86".  I'm happy to add a note
so your ack looks like

Acked-by: Andy Shevchenko <andy.shevchenko@gmail.com>  # drivers/platform/x86

or something similar.  Is that what you have in mind?

Ah, sorry, not everyone gets that abbreviation. It stands for Platform
Drivers x86.
What you crafted above is quite good fit to what I meant. Thanks!
