Yes I think this makes sense, based on the rationale that the consumer was automatically unbound, so by symmetry it should also be automatically rebound. The only thing I don't understand is you wrote in an earlier e-mail of a difference in behavior depending on whether driver_deferred_probe_add() is called before or after device_release_driver_internal(). That's really odd, it shouldn't make a difference.

I tried to reproduce that situation again multiple times, but I could not (even write those bugs back in there, and move the link creation back to panel bridge code). But even from reading the code that difference did not make any sense. I suspect a heisen-bug, after I have read the code and understood that the crash is not possible, it does not happen anymore :). With the current version I could not find any difference in behaviour depending on the order of device_release_driver_internal() and driver_deferred_probe_add() calls. I just thought having them in this order just lookes nicer. I stress tested the code by unloading and loading the panel driver in a tight loop, for several minutes, but it simply wont crash (not in this setup anyway). The probe of tilcdc eventually gracefully fails in a CMA failure.

Pinging since Sean just brought up the drm_bridge lifetime issues, and I think it'd be nice if we could solve those by using device_link, like we've added already for drm_panel. From my very layman understanding of the discussions, device_link not quite working for deferred probing is the blocker for this plan.

As there is has not been any traffic regarding this patch after Lukas' reply. And I've been busy with other things since then. Perhaps I did not know to cc the right people. A reviewed-by or tested-by from someone would probably help to get this spinning again. I am happy to do changes or improvements etc., but for that I would need suggestions. As far as I can tell the patch is good to apply as it is, but then again I am no device core expert.

I do think the cc list is good and has all the stakeholders on it (Greg/Rafeal are the main ones I think). Maybe this also didn't get much attention since it's not (yet) a big problem in drm? Only drm_panel uses device_link, the discussion to add that for drm_bridge also seems to have died down. But from my far-away observer vantage point (we don't use device_link nor panel or bridge in drm/i915) it does all sound like a good approach. Interest from i915 side might go up, since we're using component already and device_link will probably happen eventually too (for better handling the suspend/resume ordering of i915 vs. snd-hda and other stuff), and then I guess we'll need this? Otoh we're not big on EPROBE_DEFER in x86 :-) Cheers, Daniel > > Best regards, > Jyri > > > Also adding Sean. > > -Daniel > > > >> > >> Best regards, > >> Jyri > >> > >>> Thanks, > >>> > >>> Lukas > >>> > >>>> > >>>> If this patch is not acceptable as such, how about adding this > >>>> behavior behind a new device link flag? > >>>> > >>>> The idea to this patch was gotten from this post by Lucas Wunner: > >>>> https://www.spinics.net/lists/dri-devel/msg166318.html > >>>> > >>>> Part of the code and the description is borrowed from him. > >>>> > >>>> cc: Lukas Wunner <lukas@wunner.de> > >>>> cc: Rafael J.

Put consumer device to deferred probe list if it is unbound due to a dropped link to a supplier. When a device link supplier is unbound (either manually or because one of its own suppliers was unbound), its consumers are unbound as well. Currently if the supplier binds again after this the consumer does not automatically probe again. With this patch it does. If this patch is not acceptable as such, how about adding this behavior behind a new device link flag? The idea to this patch was gotten from this post by Lucas Wunner: https://www.spinics.net/lists/dri-devel/msg166318.html Part of the code and the description is borrowed from him. cc: Lukas Wunner <lukas@wunner.de> cc: Rafael J.
