Commit Message

Bjorn Andersson Feb. 8, 2022, 3:19 a.m. UTC
In some cases multiple connections with the same connection id
needs to be resolved from a fwnode graph.

One such example is when separate hardware is used for performing muxing
and/or orientation switching of the SuperSpeed and SBU lines in a USB-C
connector. In this case the connector needs to belong to a graph with
multiple matching remote endpoints, and the TypeC controller needs to be
able to resolve them both.

Add a new API that allows this kind of lookup.

Given that the match() callback returns an opaque reference to something
provided by the client it's not possible for the implementation to
release the returned object and as such it's not possible to handle
errors, which in turn means that it's not possible to query the number
of elements or dynamically grow the results array. It's however expected
that the number of matches will be reasonably low and that the worst
case is known by the caller before hand.

Changes since v1:
- Iterator in fwnode_devcon_matches() is now unsigned.
- fwnode_handle_put() node for unavailable nodes.
- Extended commit message on the subject of supporting dynamically sized
  "matches" array.

!matches case may be still useful to get the count and allocate memory by
caller. Please, consider this case.

I haven't found any explanation what the difference between two counts. Also
can you define two count variables with distinct names and do something like

	count_A = ...

	matches += count;
	matches_len -= count;

	count_B = ...

	return count_A + count_B;

?

As discussed in previous version, and described in the commit message,
the returned value of "match" is a opaque pointer to something which
has to be passed back to the caller in order to be cleaned up.

E.g. the typec mux code returns a pointer to a typec_mux/switch object
with a refcounted struct device within, or an ERR_PTR().

So unfortunately we can must gather the results into matches and pass it
back to the caller to take consume or clean up.


Thanks for your review, I'll update the patches according to the
other feedback.

It's fine. You have **matches, means pointer of an opaque pointer.
What I'm talking about is memory allocation for and array of _pointers_.
That's what caller very much aware of and can allocate on heap. So, please
consider this case.

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you're looking for.


I still interpret your comment as that it would be nice to be able to do
something like:

count = fwnode_connection_find_matches(fwnode, "orientation-switch",
				       NULL, typec_switch_match, NULL, 0);

based on the returned value the caller could allocate an array of
"count" pointers and then call the function again to actually fill out
the count elements.


The problem with this is that, typec_switch_match() does:

void *typec_switch_match(fwnode, id, data) {
	struct device *dev = find_struct_device(fwnode, id);
	if (!dev)
		return NULL;
	get_device(dev);
	return container_of(dev, struct typec_switch, dev);
}

So if we call the match function and if that finds a "dev" it will
return a struct typec_switch with a refcounted struct device within.

We can see if that's NULL or not and will be able to return a "count",
but we have no way of releasing the reference acquired - we must return
the void pointer back to the client, so that it can release it.


My claim is that this is not a problem, because this works fine with any
reasonable size of fwnode graphs we might run into - and the client will
in general have a sense of the worst case number of matches (in this
series its 3, as there's 3 types of lanes that can be switched/muxed
coming out of a USB connector).


But that's perhaps not what you're referring to? Or perhaps I'm missing
something else?

Bjorn

Yes, that's what I want from the generic fwnode APIs.
(Keyword: generic)

As you stated, the problem is in the typec_switch_match(). So, it's not related
to the fwnode, but how you are using it.

fwnode (as being an abstraction on top of the others) has no knowledge
about this. And more important should not know that.

The caller (if it wants to!) may create different callbacks for count and real
matching, no?

Ahh, yeah you're right, we can shift this responsibility onto the caller
and thereby allow them to implement the count as well. Makes sense!
